Water-related Metrics and Thresholds - this report provides guidance for assessing potential water-related impacts associated with the rehabilitation of Latrobe Valley’s three brown coal mines
Geotechnical-related Metrics and Thresholds - this report provides guidance for assessing potential geotechnical impacts associated with the rehabilitation of Latrobe Valley’s three brown coal mines.
Environmental Flow Recommendations Study - this study was undertaken by the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority to understand the minimum environmental flows requirements for the Latrobe system
Climate Change Projections - the purpose of this study was to understand potential changes to water availability as a result of climate change and long-term climate variability
Latrobe Valley Regional Water Study: Ecological Effects Assessment (EEA) - this study explores the potential effects of using water from the Latrobe river system for mine rehabilitation on the receiving environment, under a range of future rehabilitation and climate scenarios.
Latrobe System Water Availability - report documents the assumptions, tools and methods used to estimate current water availability in the Latrobe System. It also projects water availability for a range of potential future climate and water use scenarios.
Latrobe Valley Draft Preliminary Land Use Vision - This report establishes a strategic land use vision for the mine sites and surrounding land, and identifies opportunities for land use change associated with rehabilitation.
Consultation report for the Draft Preliminary Land Use Vision - This report summarises findings from the public consultation on the Draft Preliminary Land Use Vision.
Latrobe Valley Social History - Celebrating and recognising Latrobe Valley's history and heritage - This study documents the history of the Latrobe Valley region, exploring how the setting has been historically experienced by local communities and how local sense of identity has been formed.
