THE Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CCMA) has teamed up with Conservation Volunteers Australia (CVA) and the Colac Otway Shire to create 12 new jobs as part of the Working for Victoria initiative.<\/p>\n

The 12 individuals are employed by CVA and are focused on activities that improve land health across the Corangamite region.<\/p>\n

Activities have included planting of shelterbelts, riparian revegetation, weed control, soil sampling, and water quality monitoring.<\/p>\n

The Working for Victoria crew will gain hands-on experience and work on local projects that will enhance the local environmental and benefit the community<\/p>\n

Their latest project is the Old Beechy Rail Trail<\/a>, and for the next couple of weeks, they will focus their attention on track maintenance.<\/p>\n

The work on the trail will control weed infestation, which will help restore rainforest pockets and eucalypts plants that are home to a wide variety of native bird life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to be a part of Working for Victoria, delivering jobs for our region in partnership with the Victorian Government, Conservation Volunteers Australia and Colac Otway Shire,\u201d CCMA chief executive officer John Riddiford said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project on the Old Beechy Rail Trail will provide our Working for Victoria Crew with a greater understanding in environmental maintenance works.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Beechy Rail Trail is a valuable asset for the community, and in partnership with the Colac Otway Shire we will deliver important environmental works for our local community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colac Otway Shire chief executive officer Peter Brown said the Beechy Rail Trail was popular for local residents and an important eco-attraction for visitors of all ages and abilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaintenance of the trail while protecting our environment is a significant task for council, and we appreciate the CCMA partnership and assistance from the Working for Victoria crew on this project,\u201d Mr Brown said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
