The Wimmera Regional Catchment Strategy (RCS) is an overarching succinct and high-level strategy, with reference to more comprehensive, targeted and detailed supporting information found elsewhere, including in regional sub-strategies and action plans. Regional action plans that support and seek to implement the Regional Catchment Strategy include:
Wimmera Biodiversity Action Plan
The Wimmera Biodiversity Action Plan represents a first step in identifying and prioritising projects to conserve the Wimmera’s biodiversity. The plan sets out how the Wimmera could contribute to achieving the RCS’s desired outcomes for biodiversity and targets under the Victorian Government’s Protecting Victoria’s Environment – Biodiversity 2037 plan.
Wimmera Carbon Ready Plan
The Wimmera Carbon Ready Plan developed in 2016 details the actions required for the management of native vegetation, soils and other natural assets in the context of adapting to and mitigating the impacts of a changing climate.
Wimmera Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan for Biodiversity and Agricultural Natural Assets
This Plan aims to improve preparedness for, response to, and recovery from emergency events as they relate to nationally significant biodiversity and agricultural natural-capital assets in the Wimmera. The Plan will enhance the resilience of biodiversity and agricultural natural-capital assets by recognising the risks and threats posed by natural disasters and undertaking planning to improve outcomes through actions and management before, during and post-event to support recovery.
This project is funded by the Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust and delivered by Wimmera Catchment Management Authority, a member of the Commonwealth Regional Delivery Partners panel.
