Monitoring needs, data sources and information gaps relevant to the implementation and delivery of the Regional Catchment Strategy

RM Consulting Group Pty Ltd (RMCG)

This report provides the basis for using the Victorian Regional Catchment Strategy (RCS) Outcomes Framework to monitor and measure the delivery of outcomes of the Corangamite Regional Catchment Strategy 2021-2027.

The Corangamite RCS 2021-2027 outlines 25 medium-term outcomes to be achieved by 2027, across the five themes of Water, Land, Biodiversity, Communities, and Coast and Marine. Each theme is also associated with an aspirational long-term outcome to be achieved by 2040. These regionally specific outcomes are to be monitored with regionally relevant direct measures and indirect indicators, in addition to standard reporting on progress towards the Victorian government’s state-wide outcomes and condition indicators.

In this report there is: an analysis of the use of the state-wide reporting framework - review and analysis of relevant data resources that relate to the Corangamite region - categorisation of data and its relationship to informing the condition and trends for each of the RCS themes - identification any data gaps.
