  • Ovens Murray
    Ovens Murray Infrastructure Victoria is investigating infrastructure investment in regional Victoria that builds on the economic strengths of a region, or that reduces disadvantage, primarily through providing greater access to services and economic opportunities. This fact sheet is focussed on reducing disadvantage, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying framework for reducing disadvantage through infrastructure. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide evidence that will inform the problem definition for each of Victoria’s nine regions through consultation with stakeholders. The project has a specific focus on areas that experience relatively high levels of disadvantage (ranked in the bottom 30% of the index of Socio-Economic Disadvantage, SEIFA) and this fact sheet provides indicators showing poor outcomes for key demographic groups living in these areas. Infrastructure Victoria invites key stakeholders and service providers to make submissions that provide evidence on which infrastructure could make a difference in reducing disadvantage for the region. Victoria Ovens Murray Wodonga Ovens Murray Wangaratta Towong Indigo Benalla Myrtleford Wangaratta Benalla Alpine SEIFA IRSD Deciles: Most disadvantaged Mansfield Least disadvantaged The maps show a visual representation of the Ovens Murray region based on Index of Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage (SEIFA IRSD) data (2016). The red and orange shaded areas represent areas of high relative disadvantage. SEIFA Central Highlands IRSD Deciles: About the Ovens Murray Region The Ovens Murray region is part of the broader Hume region and is approximately 32,764 square kilometres in extent (10 per cent of Victoria) and is characterised by several distinct areas.
