Bioregional Strategic Overviews

Back to Biodiversity Home

This section of the VRO website is a collaborative effort between the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) (external link) and Department of Primary Industries (DPI). DSE has wide ranging responsibilities for the management of plant and animal issues across Victoria, including the conservation of native flora and fauna, and the control of pest plants and animals. Visit the Plants and Animals section of DSE's website (external link) for up to date information. Biodiversity conservation and management is a fundamental part of DSEs integrated programs - find out more on DSE's Biodiversity page (external link) - including information on: Natural Landscapes, Bushfire Recovery, Rivers and Wetlands, Natural Seascapes, Rural Landscapes, Urban Landscapes and Victoria's Biodiversity Strategy.


Strategic Overviews translate the statewide biodiversity strategy to the bioregional scale, and provide the foundation for producing landscape biodiversity action plans to guide on-ground works by private landholders, community groups, corporations and all levels of Government.
The Overviews aim to:
    • provide a regional overview of the planning and management of native biodiversity;
    • summarise the remaining biodiversity assets across all land tenures;
    • identify priorities for conservation and restoration of biodiversity;
    • identify mechanisms for more efficiently conserving the bioregion's key biodiversity assets, including threatened vegetation communities, threatened species, wetlands and rivers.
