Environment Victoria's Upcoming 'Public Consultation Trifecta'

9/4/2016

0 Comments

 
John Lloyd recently received details from Juliet Le Feuvre, Healthy Rivers campaigner at Environment Victoria, on  Environment Victoria's upcoming 'public consultation trifecta'!

"Right now, the state government and its agencies are seeking public feedback on three important things: managing our water and rivers, protecting biodiversity and looking after our River Red Gum National Parks.  The three opportunities for feedback are:

1. Water for Victoria Discussion Paper
This draft water plan is intended to provide strategic direction for the management of Victoria’s water resources for decades to come.
To have your say:
  • Read the Water for Victoria Discussion Paper here
  • Attend a community information session here
  • Make a formal submission here – submissions close Friday 29 April
  • For ideas for your submission, check out Environment Victoria’s Six Steps to Water Leadership or email Juliet on j.lefeuvre@environmentvictoria.org.au
  • Read our media release on the Discussion Paper here
 
2. Protecting Victoria’s Environment – Biodiversity 2036 Draft Plan
It has been almost 20 years since Victoria last developed a biodiversity strategy, and we’re facing a biodiversity crisis. This draft biodiversity plan has been released for public comment and ideas.
To have your say:
  • Read the draft Biodiversity strategy here
  • Attend a community information session here
  • Make a formal submission here – submissions close Sunday 15 May
  • Read our media release on the draft plan here
 
3. River Red Gum Parks Management Plan
Parks Victoria is in the early stages of developing a management plan for more than 220,000 hectares of River Red Gum parks and reserves throughout northern Victoria.
To have your say:
  • Attend a community Open House session here
  • Access Parks Victoria’s background materials here
  • Share your thoughts with Parks Vic by emailing redgumplan@parks.vic.gov.au
  • Find out which species are at stake in our ‘Thirsty Thirteen’ report here "

More details can be found  in Juliet's blog post, including Environment Victoria’s perspective on these draft plans. Read the blog post here >>
