Implementing the Regional Catchment Strategy
Monitoring and Responding to Catchment Condition Trends
Catchment Condition Indicators
In response to recommendations from the Victorian
Auditor General in 2014, DELWP and the Victorian
Catchment Management Authorities jointly
developed an improved framework for catchment
condition and management reporting. This new
framework includes an agreed set of catchment
condition indicators. While indicators are still
being refined, North East CMA has adopted this
framework for 2015-16 reporting. We will continue
to collect data and monitor catchment condition
indicators annually with a view to improving
understanding of trends in the catchment and
identifying opportunities for adapting and changing.
In North East Victoria there are four applicable
catchment condition indicator themes:
waterways; biodiversity; land; and community.
For the assessment against each catchment
condition indicator theme there is an explanation
of the theme, a regional assessment of
catchment condition, reasons in support of
the assessment, and a relevant case study.
