Declared Water Supply Catchments
Declared Water Supply Catchments in Victoria
Catchment Planning in the West Gippsland region is based upon the conditions established by each of the region's Declared (Proclaimed) Water Supply Catchments (DWSC). The Land Conservation Council (LCC) previously had jurisdiction over these proclamations. For some of these DWSCs in the region, the LCC was charged with approving any proposed Determination of Land Use (now known as a Special Area Plan) put forward by the Soil Conservation Authority (SCA). The Determination of Land Use generally established permissible land and water uses within the defined area and stipulated planning controls and potential hazards to the proclaimed water supply.
| The Declared Water Supply Catchments map shows those catchment areas as proclaimed under the Soil Conservation and Land Utilization Act, 1958 in conjunction with the Land Conservation Act, 1970, and subsequently incorporated into the Catchment and Land Protection Act, 1994. This layer identifies domestic Water Supply Catchments that are subject to a Land Use Determination or a Land Use Notice. Data was derived from the proclaimed water supply catchment (L100) layer in the Department of Sustainability and Environment Corporate Geospatial Data Library. Mapping was undertaken by the Centre for Land Protection Research. |  Declared Water Supply Catchments, West Gippsland Region |
