Municipalities
The Corangamite Catchment Management Authoity includes all or part of the municipalities of Cities of Ballarat and Greater Geelong, the Borough of Queenscliffe,
the Shires of Moorabool, SurfCoast, Corangamite, Golden Plains, Colac Otway and Moyne.
The municipalities of the Region own and manage a considerable area of public land and play a crucial role in land use
planning and development, regulation, State of the Environment reporting and community support.
The principal instrument for building natural resource management policy into local plans is the
Municipal Strategic Statement (MSS) and municipal stormwater management plans.
The main mechanism for approving land use change and regulating land management practices is approval under
local Planning Schemes. The Planning Schemes set mandatory guidelines for land use and management throughout
the particular municipality. The Planning Schemes are a potentially potent instrument for environmental management
and protection through the use of protective overlays.
There are also a large number of Local Area Plans. These notably include, but are not limited to the Ballarat LINCS Strategy,
the Greater Geelong Biodiversity Strategy, and local coastal plans including Swan Bay, Great Ocean Road,
Otways Parks, Port Campbell, Shipwreck Coast and the Colac/ Otway Strategy.
