From the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (20/2/25)…
(I know it’s a distance away but it always nice to know of good things happening around the state.)
The Plains Facts Newsletter, Summer 2025
We are thrilled to announce that we are partnering with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation to co-deliver the Karrkiyn Warbulloc Project, protecting and restoring grasslands across the Victorian Volcanic Plain!
The project is based on Karrkiyn Warbulloc (Lava Stone Plain) on Wadawurrung Country, and provides an opportunity tocontinue focusing on Natural Temperate Grasslands and Grassy Eucalypt Woodlands across public and private land.
Karrkiyn Warbulloc will span five years, and support Wadawurrung and other and managers in the restoration of significant areas and threatened species through conservation agreements, flora species reintroduction and burning.
Working together in these grasslands not only protects them from extinction, but also creates and maintains habitat for endangered animals such as the Plains Wanderer and Grassland Earless Dragon – recently rediscovered in Victorian grasslands after being presumed extinct.To further enhance the health and ongoing management of the Plain, we are actively engaging with community member through knowledge and skills development and building custodianship of these rare ecological communities.
This project is funded by the Australian Government Natural Heritage Trust and delivered by Corangamite Catchment Management Authority, a member of the Commonwealth Regional Delivery Partners panel, in partnership with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation.
