Central Victorian Uplands Bioregion Strategic Overview
This Strategic Overview for the Central Victorian Uplands - Revised July, 2003, was produced in collaboration between H. Anderson, C. Boyle and K. M. Lowe - Biodiversity and Natural Resources Division, DSE; M. Howell - Goulburn Broken, CMA, Benalla; S. Way and E. Mosey - Ecology Australia, Fairfield . The Central Victorian Uplands bioregion covers 1.2 million hectares extending over 21 local government areas and seven Catchment Management Authorities, stretching from the Grampians and Ararat in the west, to Porepunkah in the east, and from Lurg in the north, to the You Yangs and Lara in the south. It has a unique and relatively early history of European settlement due to the gold rushes in nearby regions in the 1850’s and soldier settlements after World War I and II. The settlers of the gold rush period and soldier settlements were quick to recognise the productive potential of the Central Victorian Uplands bioregion woodlands and dry grassy forest complexes and, consequently, the landscape has been radically and rapidly changed within the last 150 years.
