We acknowledge that the challenges for organisations and individuals involved in sustainable natural resource management are substantial and increasing in complexity and we recognise that our stakeholders and the wider community expect that we will manage our natural resources in the interests of future generations. Accordingly, stakeholders are seeking greater transparency and accountability in our stewardship of these resources. In meeting these challenges Gippsland Water has recognised that: • a suffi cient supply of high-quality water is a prerequisite for a developing and sustainable region; • deterioration of our rivers, wetlands, estuaries, bays, oceans, lakes and fl oodplains also damages our economy and our society; and • the path towards sustainable water and natural resource management means change. Our challenge is to achieve the necessary change, including the way we supply, use and re-use water, through innovation, leadership and collaboration. The Board of Gippsland Water has led the development of a fi ve-year strategic plan that provides the business with clear direction to deliver on a range of objectives that responds to these challenges and meets the needs of customers, stakeholders and the community. Our strategic plan has a strong focus on: 1. Resource Sustainability: Water is a vital element of our natural environment. It sustains all forms of life. Our slogan ‘Our Water, Our Future’ signals our intention to protect and preserve this most precious resource. 2. Customers, Stakeholders and Community: Gippsland Water’s whole of business approach to customer relations refl ects the changing needs and expectations of our customers and stakeholders. We recognise the need to strengthen our engagement with the community so that together we can fi nd new solutions to the region’s challenges. 3. Governance: The Board and our staff are committed to ensuring/achieving a robust corporate governance regime to enable Gippsland Water to satisfy the requirements of all applicable legislation. 4. Organisational Sustainability: Gippsland Water is committed to ensuring the ongoing sustainability of our organisation through continuing investment in our people, our systems and our physical assets.

The purpose of the Latrobe River Basin Local Management Plan is to: • document the management objectives for the system • explain to licence holders (and the broader community) the specific management objectives and arrangements for their water resource and the rules that apply to them as users of that resource • clarify water sharing arrangements for all users and the environment, including environmental flow requirements • document any limits, including water use caps, permissible consumptive volumes or extraction limits that apply to the system. Management objectives The objective of the Local Management Plan is to ensure the equitable sharing of water between users and the environment and the long-term sustainability of the resource. Water system covered The Local Management Plan covers all the rivers and creeks located within the Latrobe River Basin, which includes: Upper Latrobe Catchment Narracan Creek Catchment Moe River Catchment Frenchmans Creek Narracan Creek Bear Creek Harolds Creek Little Narracan Creek Bull Swamp Creek Hemp Hills Creek Trimms Creek Crossover Creek Loch River Dead Horse Creek McKerlies Creek Morwell River Catchment Hazel Creek Sandy Creek Billy’s Creek Loch Creek Stony Creek Eel Hole Creek Moe Main Drain Torongo River Little Morwell River Moe River Upper Latrobe River Morwell River Mosquito Creek Latrobe River Catchment O’Grady Creek Red Hill Creek Tanjil River Sassafras Creek Sassafras Creek Latrobe River Silver Creek Settlers Creek Tyers River Ten Mile Creek Seymour Creek Jacobs Creek Walkley’s Creek Shady Creek Traralgon Creek Wilderness Creek Sunny Creek The Latrobe River Basin is shown in the map below.

  • Latrobe River Tin Mines: an 1870S Mining Scam
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Volume 15, October 2017 Latrobe River Tin Mines: An 1870s Mining Scam By ROBIN BAILEY n old miner once defined a mine, as a hole in the ground owned by a liar. This definition well defines an episode in the 1870’s when two very prominent A members of the Victorian Parliament, John Woods and Louis Lawrence Smith, aware of publicity surrounding early discoveries of tin at Mount Bischoff in Tasmania, decided to get into the act. One of the pair having previously heard of abandoned tin prospects in heavily timbered mountainous country 80 kilometers east of Melbourne, in the Upper Latrobe River, saw an opportunity not to be missed. As the locality was so remote and difficult to access, there was little chance of any investigation into the viability of the mining leases at the time. Subsequently, they formally took out mining leases using the old lease plans and then attempted to sell these worthless leases in London for £100,000. This is the story of incompetence and of their mining scam. The Early Discoveries In the 1860s parties of prospectors were working in the Upper Goulburn River, culminating in the major gold field discoveries of Woods Point, Matlock, Jordan and later Walhalla. Supply lines for the many thousands of miners working in the mountainous country were very long, and the cost of packing provisions and equipment in from Jamieson and later Sale was very great. Much time and money was spent in developing the Yarra Track through Healesville and Marysville to Matlock and Woods Point, and the effort of keeping it trafficable in winter proved beyond the maintenance resources of the day.1 From the south, in 1862, a track was cut from Drouin, effectively following the course of the present road through Neerim to Noojee, then up the Loch River to the Yarra – Latrobe Divide near Mt.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.

  • Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: an Artefact-Led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia
    Government Emblems, Embodied Discourse and Ideology: An Artefact-led History of Governance in Victoria, Australia Katherine Hepworth Doctor of Philosophy 2012 ii iii Abstract Government emblems are a rich source of historical information. This thesis examines the evidence of past governance discourses embodied in government emblems. Embodied discourses are found within an archive of 282 emblems used by local governments in Victoria, Australia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They form the basis of a history of governance in the State of Victoria from first British exploration in 1803 to the present day. This history of governance was written to test the main contribution of this thesis: a new graphic design history method called discursive method. This new method facilitates collecting an archive of artefacts, identifying discourses embodied within those artefacts, and forming a historical narrative of broader societal discourses and ideologies surrounding their use. A strength of discursive method, relative to other design history methods, is that it allows the historian to seriously investigate how artefacts relate to the power networks in which they are enmeshed. Discursive method can theoretically be applied to any artefacts, although government emblems were chosen for this study precisely because they are difficult to study, and rarely studied, within existing methodological frameworks. This thesis demonstrates that even the least glamorous of graphic design history artefacts can be the source of compelling historical narratives. iv Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been written without the support of many people. Fellow students, other friends and extended family have helped in many small ways for which I am so grateful.
