Regional Matters - an Atlas of regional Victoria

Regional Matters - An Atlas of Regional Victoria 2005

Regional Matters, 2005 builds upon the previous edition released in 2002. Like its predecessor, the 2005 Regional Matters publication aims to highlight issues of the impact of change on regional areas. The publication comprises eight themes: changing populations; community well-being; servicing communities; industry and skills; water in a dry land; land and people; coastal development, and energy choices. Recognising the interrelatedness of many of the issues within these themes is a key objective of the publication.

The Regional Atlas will be updated with 2011 Census data in 2013
