Our Mission: "Healthy and productive lands and water cared for and enjoyed by thriving communities"

Who We Are

Our purpose is to be the regional leader working with land managers, communities, other organisations and governments to protect and improve the health of the region’s natural resources (water, soils, biodiversity) to improve the health and sustainable productivity of the Corangamite region.

Our Role

The Corangamite CMA is a statutory authority of the Victorian Government and our roles and functions are defined in the Catchment and Land Protections Act 1994 and the Water Act 1989.

We work with land managers, communities, other organisations and governments to protect and improve the health of the region’s natural resources (water, soils, biodiversity), to improve the health and sustainable productivity of the Corangamite region.

Statement of Obligations

The Statement of Obligations is issued under the Catchment & Land Protection Act 1994 and Water Act 1989 and relate to existing functions and responsibilities of Catchment Management Authorities under the Acts as well as associated government policy.

It has been developed to:

  • Clarify the manner in which CMA activities should be undertaken and the level to which CMA activities should be performed, by specifying obligations which relate to the performance of broad legislative functions and policy responsibilities;
  • Specify which obligations shall be funded out of annual Corporate Allocations and/or Statutory Land Allocations and which obligations shall be funded as outlined in contracts or agreements between the Department of Sustainability & Environment and the Authority; and
  • Reflect an integrated and sustainable approach to catchment management.
