Not to forget the services such a comprehensive industry base needs, from banking, finance, legal, retail, and machinery sales and servicing to healthcare, education, agronomics, and grains research and development. All this, enriched by a vibrant culture and spectacular landscapes that offer all sorts of recreational activities. It provides a broad direction for regional land use and development as well as high level planning frameworks and the means to implement the strategic land use and infrastructure directions that are set out in the Regional Strategic Plans.

Maintain and increase the population of frogs and turtles. Provide watering holes for native animals and terrestrial birds across the landscape.
Maintain and improve the condition of aquatic and fringing plants including lignum, river red gum and black box communities Improve the diversity of vegetation communities by providing watering regimes to support plant life cycles in and around the wetlands. Maintain and increase populations of waterbirds and other native birds by providing resting, feeding and breeding habitat. Environmental values There are many wetland types in the Wimmera-Mallee wetlands system including freshwater meadows, open freshwater lakes and freshwater marshes.
Traditional Owner cultural values and uses Spanning a broad geographic area, several Wimmera-Mallee wetlands show indications of the longstanding cultural heritage and importance of these sites to the Traditional Owners of the region, including but not limited to those represented by the Barengi Gadjin Land Council and the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation.
The Barengi Gadjin Land Council has discussed the significance of the wetlands and their aspiration to undertake work at these sites in future, and it provided the following statement to Mallee CMA when discussing environmental watering: The Wimmera-Mallee is living cultural landscape and there is a lack of recorded data regarding the cultural values over many sections of the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline.
Social, recreational and economic values and uses In planning the potential watering actions in Table 1, the Mallee, North Central and Wimmera CMAs considered how environmental flows could support values and uses including: water-based recreation such as fishing, kayaking, swimming and yabbying riverside recreation and amenity such as birdwatching, duck and quail hunting, photography, picnicking and walking community events and tourism such as citizen science including the collection of data about bird species and abundance, frog species and microbat recordings.
Recent conditions Rainfall across the Wimmera-Mallee region was close to the long-term average during , but inflows to storages in the Wimmera-Mallee System Headworks were low and did not replenish storage levels, which are low due to much drier- than-average conditions in the past four years. Scope of environmental watering. Engagement Table 2 shows the partners, stakeholder organisations and individuals with which the Wimmera, Mallee and North Central CMAs engaged when preparing the WimmeraMallee wetlands seasonal watering proposal.
