Draft Mallee Regional Catchment Strategy 2022-28

A new Regional Catchment Strategy is being prepared for the Mallee to provide a six-year framework for strategic action that supports and focuses the ongoing coordinated efforts of the region’s land managers, Traditional Owners, industry and community groups, and government agencies.

The Mallee CMA is coordinating development of the Strategy in partnership with a Steering Committee that has representation from the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, local government, Parks Victoria, water authorities and Mallee CMA.

The Strategy is prepared under the provisions of the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994 as the primary integrated planning framework for land, water and biodiversity in the region.

To fulfil its purpose, the RCS sets long-term (20-year) and medium-term (6-year) outcomes that we are seeking for our Biodiversity, Waterways, Agricultural Land, Culture and Heritage, and Community assets; the 6-year strategic actions required to achieve these outcomes; the landscapes that our efforts will be focused on; and the collaborative partnerships that will support delivery.

Your feedback on this Draft Strategy is important to help ensure that we capture the aspirations, knowledge, priorities and expectations of the region’s individuals, groups and organisations within the RCS development phase.  The information you provide will also directly inform future investment and delivery priorities for natural resource management across the Mallee.

The public consultation period has now closed for the Draft Mallee Regional Catchment Strategy. Thank you for your input – we are currently reviewing and collating feedback for incorporation into the Final Draft Strategy.
