Victorian Waterway Management Strategy (2013)
Overarching policy framework for waterways • Presents the vision, principles and management approach
• Sets state policies, acBons and targets
• Facilitated regional decision making
• AdapBve to changed condiBons e.g. droughts, floods, wildfire

Policies and ac&ons -‐ example RecreaBonal use of waterways: • Encourage and support community involvement in waterway planning for, and management of, recreaBonal use of waterways
• Acknowledge the importance of waterways for recreaBon and promote sustainable recreaBonal use
• Manage risks associated with recreaBonal use through guidelines, protocols and educaBon.

Regional Waterway Strategies
• Single, regional planning document for rivers, estuaries and wetlands
• Developed by CMAs in partnership with regional communiBes
• Guide investment over an 8-‐year period – Three Bers of targets – clear program logic – High level regional works program

• Developed by each CMA • 20-‐year + Bmeframe • Conceptual or qualitaBve link to management outcomes
• Region wide to drive priority se?ng • 4 – 5 goals (generally)

Using goals to iden&fy priority waterways
• Protect and enhance threatened fish populaBons in the GHCMA region • Score of 4 or 5 for Significant fish, with three or more species idenBfied.
• Presence of Glenelg Spiny Crayfish • Presence of Variegated Pygmy Perch
• Protect and enhance high value recreaBon fishing through habitat protecBon • Criteria : Score of 5 for RecreaBonal fishing
