Achievements
The natural and cultural resources and landscape of Budj Bim landscape are distinct and unique. It is important to ensure the efficient and sustainable use of resources for the long-term benefit of the
communities living in the far southwest of Victoria.
LCSDP related projects have digitally mapped the Budj Bim landscape and surveyed ecological vegetation communities along the lava flow.
The Winda Mara Land Team has conducted fencing to protect cultural and natural values along the Budj Bim landscape as well a pest-management activities.
The habitat and future requirements of the short-finned eel has been studied at Lake Condah and along Darlots Creek and the Fitzroy River and its estuary.
The LCSDP plans to work with landowners and primary industries along the Budj Bim landscape to best identify sustainable farming practicies that will positively contribute to the sustainability of the Budj Bim landscape and wetlands.
The body of research knowledge in relation to the LCSDP activities is constantly growing.
Current Activities
Through current projects and the development of knowledge networks and future research the LCSDP is scheduled to establish the Lake Condah Sustainable Development Learning Centre.
The centre will draw on local knowledge and provide an independent reference for natural resources management and sustainable development for the far southwest of Victoria.
