The Roadside Conservation Management Plan, adopted on 15 September 2020, covers all rural roads within Indigo Shire Council that are not under the direct control of VicRoads or the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). Roads within the urban areas have not been included. The DELWP and Parks Victoria are responsible for managing most roads within declared Crown Land including National Parks, State Parks and State Forest areas.
The Plan focuses primarily on the protection and management of remnant native vegetation and biodiversity values located on roadsides. The Plan also recognises and promotes opportunities to restore and enhance this remnant vegetation and habitats for indigenous plants and animals on our roadsides.
