| From the Fringe to Mainstream: A Strategic Plan for Integrating Native Biodiversity For many years Goulburn Broken catchment communities have recognised the importance of native biodiversity and the need to include it as a key component of decision-making. The production of this strategic plan follows through on the GB CMA’s commitment listed in Goulburn Broken Regional Catchment Strategy (1997), building on other strategic plans such as the Goulburn Broken Native Vegetation Management Strategy (2000). | |
| Biodiversity Risk Mitigation Protocols for Roadsides Roadsides provide immensely important refuge for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. This report provides clear guidelines and simple measures to improve the capacity of local government to manage roadside management activities so as to reduce the risk of inadvertent damage to biodiversity values. | |

Native Vegetation in the Shepparton Irrigation Region
This document was developed to provide detailed information on native flora in the SIR and allow easy identification of the varied vegetation covering the region from magnificent River Red Gums, through to sweet-smelling Bursaria, petite Tiny Stars and elusive Blue Caladenia's.

Threatened Native Vegetation Communities of the Goulburn Broken Region
An information package has been compiled by the DSE and the GBCMA to provide information on the identification, management and conservation of threatened grassy vegetation communities in the Goulburn Broken Catchment.
The vegetation communities highlighted in particular include:
- Grey Box-Buloke Grassy Woodlands,
- Northern Plains Grassland and
- Box-Gum Grassy Woodlands and derived grasslands.
In addition there are two documentaries 'Treasures of Our Grassy Woodlands' and 'Native Grasslands of the Victorian Riverina' which are a good introduction to the subject matter.

Ecological Vegetation Class (EVC) Information Sheets
The following information sheets provide an overview of the key components of each EVC and outline threats, management tips and key flora and fauna species. They also contain a description of the EVC, images of the EVC in different parts of the Catchment, a distribution map and, in most cases, comparative images of the EVC in good and degraded condition.
