Thank you for your interest in this survey. The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Victoria is currently evaluating the effectiveness of a website developed to communicate information relating to a multi-agency environmental management project named the “Lower Murray Landscape Futures.” This project spanned across the South Australian Murray-Darling Basin, Victorian Wimmera Catchment Management Authority (CMA), Victorian Mallee CMA, and NSW Lower Murray-Darling CMA regions (Figure 1). Landscape Futures represent different possible outcomes from implementing regional natural resource management plans and targets.

Participants who complete and submit the survey will go into a draw to win a ticket to attend the “Place and Purpose Symposium” held in Adelaide between the 30th September and 1st October 2009 (click here to download brochure) . The prize will include symposium registration. Only one prize will be issued.

We promise to keep unit record data confidential. All survey results will be presented in aggregated form. Because we value your responses, we will send you an electronic copy of the survey results if you tick the box at the end of the Survey.
