- Description: The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) is implementing a project – Sustainable Agribusiness Opportunities from the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline (SAOW) – funded through the Provincial Victoria Growth Fund, Regional Development Victoria (RDV) which aims to assist Wimmera Mallee farmers to maximise the opportunities that can be derived from this major change in water supply. As part of this project, the Water in Drylands Collaborative Research Program (WIDCORP) was commissioned by DPI to undertake research that provides insight into how farmers might react to such changes and what expectations they may have for their farming enterprises. This research informs DPI in developing a targeted and insightful approach to extension programs to assist farmers and farming groups connecting to the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline (WMP). The study involved an extensive literature review of socio-economic benefits of pipeline infrastructure and a multimode survey (telephone and online) of Wimmera Mallee farmers (n=527) to establish farmer typologies using farming style theory. Follow-up semi-structured interviews (n=16) were conducted with representative farmers from each of the defined ‘farming styles’. These interviews contextualised the characteristics of the styles, explored the implications for farm innovations and perceived opportunities, and identified key barriers and drivers influencing the uptake of innovation as a consequence of the WMP.

- Description: This document presents a summary of the findings of a significant research project examining the implications of a more secure stock and domestic water supply system for a large dryland agricultural region. It identifies key issues, concerns and opportunities as perceived by farmers of various farmer typologies. It explores innovation, and the drivers and barriers to the adoption of new farming practices. The research was commissioned by the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) as part of the Sustainable Agribusiness Opportunities from the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline (SAOW) initiative. This research will inform DPI in developing a targeted and insightful approach to extension programs to assist farmers and farming groups connecting to the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline (WMP). More background information and detailed findings can be found in the full report located on the WIDCORP website (www.widcorp.com). The Wimmera Mallee Water Supply system historically delivered stock and domestic water across the dryland Wimmera Mallee region of Victoria via open earthen channels from storages in the Grampians to farms and town storages across the region (van Veldhuisen, 2001). Whilst this system was critical for the development of agriculture and communities within the region, wastage of approximately 103,000ML of water through evaporation and seepage across this system was no longer sustainable (GWMWater, 2003). In response to this situation, construction of the WMP Project commenced in late 2006, led by Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water (GWMWater) with funding from the community, state and federal governments. This major infrastructure project will replace the delivery of open channel water to the Wimmera Mallee farms and towns with a pipeline supply from headworks in the Grampians

- Description: The Australian Safety and Compensation Council recently released "Safe Design for Engineering Students - A Resource Package". This package won the Society of Technical Communication Excellence Award for technical communication. Much of the Resource Package was drawn from The Principles of Safe Design (Culvenor, 2004). The report above was an evaluation of the implementation trial and it lead to the identification of improvements - one which was the inclusion of substantial additional material on accident causation and prevention concepts and activities (Culvenor, J. 2005, Editing the final stage of the Safe Design: An Engineering Resource Package).

- Description: This report for the Central Highlands Water Authority used a novel research approach to identify the impact of demand management measures on water consumption in a country town. Specifically the report tested out real interventions with a sample of water customers, and estimated price elasticities by using a methodology that estimates it as a residual after technical, social marketing and other factors have been accounted for. The estimates for price elasticity are less than those published in much of the research literature, but nevertheless fit the data in this experiment.

Not so gay in the bush : 'Coming out' in regional and rural Victoria
- Authors: Gottschalk, Lorene , Newton, Janice
- Date: 2003
- Type: Text , Report
- Full Text: false
- Description: This research indicates that for both lesbians and gay men the journey to self acceptance was often a difficult and stressful one, caused by the prevailing atmosphere of non-acceptance and often vilification of homosexual people. Such a context was found by many respondents to be more prevalent in regional and rural areas. In each of the domains of inquiry examined in this study, that is family, community, school, contact with health professionals and the workplace, lesbians and gay men had experiences of 'homophobia'. In the culture of regional and regional Victoria homosexuality is still considered a minority experience. This has serious consequence for how lesbians and gay men can live out their lives.
