A full text downloadable version of the former Land Conservation Council's Rivers and Streams Special Investigation - Final Recommendations (June 1991) is available on the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council website (external link). These provide an ongoing framework for the use of rivers and streams in Victoria. Recommendations in the text have been edited to reflect government variations and amendments at the time of approval, and subsequent changes. The recommendations are categorised into Victorian heritage rivers, essentially natural catchments, representative rivers, other river values and public land water frontage reserves. These are based upon their scenic, recreational, cultural and nature conservation values.
