Mallee Catchment Management Authority

Mallee Catchment Management Authority Mallee CMA is the peak body for the delivery of natural resource programs in the Mallee.

Our work is based on science and delivered through meaningful partnerships with government agencies, local organisations such as Landcare, and community groups in the Victorian Mallee. The Mallee CMA region covers 3.9 million hectares - about one fifth of Victoria. It is the largest catchment area in the state and runs along the Murray River from Nyah to the South Australian border, and south to t

he vast dryland cereal and wheat crops of the Wimmera. The Mallee CMA’s project responsibilities include the management of:
Waterways
Biodiversity (including vegetation restoration and threatened species recovery)
Floodplains
Salinity
Land and soil health

To increase the knowledge of botanical values of Tyrrell Creek in the Culgoa Township, Culgoa Landcare Group successfully applied for Victorian Government Landcare Grant funding to commission a floristic survey.
Four species were found that are listed as critically endangered on the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 Threatened List, with Cyperus bifax (Downs Nutgrass) and Cyperus concinnus (Trim Flat-sedge) occurring in less than 30 sites across the whole of Victoria!
This project provides important information to guide the group in future management of the site.
This project is supported by the Victorian Government through the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) Victorian Landcare Grants program.

H5 bird flu update: 8 August
New South Wales has confirmed a detection of H5 bird flu in Wentworth, near the Victorian border and town of Mildura.

Residents along the river and throughout the region are encouraged to be aware and:
✅ AVOID contact with sick or dead wild birds or wildlife and their environment
✅ RECORD what you see, including location, species, how many
✅ REPORT to DEECA online or by calling the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.

Report clusters (5 or more) of sick or dead wild birds of any species, anywhere in Victoria.

Report even one sick or dead:
✅ wild seabird, waterbird, shorebird or bird of prey
✅ marine mammal (e.g. seal, sea lion, dolphin).

We will assess each report and decide if testing and sampling are needed based on location and species type.
