More than 7000 homes and businesses in Victoria's north could soon be flooded as the state's historic emergency event continues. Shepparton residents are continuing to be bombarded with flood water, while other areas start the clean up process following last week's monster deluge. The Goulburn River may peak near 12.1m later on Monday morning, potentially putting 7300 homes and businesses in Shepparton, Mooroopna and Kialla in danger of being surrounded or filled with flood water. Victorian Emergency management commissioner Andrew Crisp said they received 56 requests for rescues in those areas overnight on Sunday, with some yet to be undertaken. Bureau of Metrology meteorologist Dean Narramore said several river catchments are expected to peaked on Monday. “On the Avoca River around the Charlton area, it looks like will peak around 8m today with major floods that will cause some issues there today,” he told the ABC. “Moving further eastwards, we're looking at major flooding continuing and it will for a number of days on the Campaspe and the Goulburn River. “We'll see the floodwaters peak in Echuca and Moama, similar to the 1993 levels. “Shepparton as well looking to peak sometime later today or into tonight. Similar to the levels of 1974, so it's going a long way back. “There's a massive amount of water on the Goulburn right now and that all feeds into the Murray River, so we're concerned for Echuca and Moama in the coming days.” But he warned more heavy rainfall has been “unfortunately” forecast for later in the week, with up to 25mm potentially hitting already flood-affected areas like Echuca and Shepparton. “Not good news for our flood-affected areas ... looking at widespread 25-50mm falls over much of inland New South Wales, northern Victoria and Queensland,” Mr Narramore said. “This is a lot less than what we saw, but with everything now so wet and saturated, this is going to lead to renewed river level rises on many of our already flooded rivers. “Particularly as we get in towards that Thursday and Friday time frame … we could see quite a few severe thunderstorms through inland areas across multiple days later this week and into the weekend.” Mr Narramore also said “it could be a while” until the rain lets up for residents in Australia's east. “It looks like we will get a brief break over the weekend Sunday and Monday, but there is another system hot on its heels as we move into early parts of next week,” he told The Today Show. “ This wet pattern continues to bring widespread flooding across eastern Australia.” Federal Emergency Management Minister Murray Watt said Victoria was facing a “a very serious situation”. “The reports I‘m getting, we could be looking at up to 9000 homes inundated in northern Victoria and potentially close to about 34,000 homes in Victoria either inundated or isolated,” he told the ABC. Mr Crisp said around 300 to 400 homes have inundated with flood water in Echuca, while about 800 to 900 have been affected in Rochester. “I had the opportunity to fly over Rochester yesterday. To be frank, it‘s depressing, there's water everywhere,” he told the ABC. “We'll work with, stand with, and support the community of Rochester and we'll be doing everything we can to help them get back on their feet.” On Saturday morning, a respected member of the Rochester community sadly lost his life in his backyard during the relentless weather event. Kevin Wills, 71, who was born in the Victorian town lived with his wife on High Street for years, with the community heartbroken at the loss. Mr Wills' wife was also found by emergency services trapped at the property but was rescued safely. Victoria SES has issued more than 60 flood warnings across the state, more than 100 Australian Defence Force personnel have been deployed, while around 120 schools and 100 early learning centres are closed on Monday. The state and federal governments have prepared the Centre for National Resilience in Mickleham to provide crisis care for those needing accommodation. The Mickleham facility will provide 250 beds from Tuesday next week for people who have lost their homes in the floods. Residents will also receive food and other support services at the site, as well as remotely. The Commonwealth built and owned Mickleham location recently closed as a quarantine hub, allowing it to now open its doors to flood victims. Emergency Management Victoria, along with Emergency Recovery Victoria and Covid-19 Quarantine Victoria, are working collaboratively to set the facility up, using the existing quarantine staff and service providers to get support to those who need it quickly. The centre will act as a hub, as residents will be supplied with free regular transport on a provided shuttle bus to the local train station and shopping centre. Every room provided to those in need will hold toiletries and necessities, and people will be provided with three meals per day. Local charities are working to provide items that families may have had to leave behind in the floods, such as clothing. The federal government also made disaster assistance payments available for 44 flood affected areas across Victoria, NSW and Tasmania. In Victoria those 23 local government areas are: Alpine Benalla Buloke Campaspe Central Goldfields Corangamite Gannawarra Greater Bendigo Greater Shepparton Hepburn Horsham Loddon Macedon Ranges Mansfield Maribyrnong Mitchell Shire Moira Moonee Valley Murrindindi Northern Grampians Pyrenees Strathbogie Wangaratta One-off Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payments are also available in Campaspe, Greater Shepparton, Maribyrnong, Mitchell and Strathbogie. There is $1000 per adult and $400 per child in recognition of the significant losses people in those areas have experienced due to the floods. The state government also revealed on Sunday that Melbourne Water will conduct a review into the 3m floodwater wall around Flemington Racecourse. It will investigate claims from frustrated residents that the racecourse managed to avoid the severe flooding because the wall pushed water into the surrounding Maribyrnong area. “Melbourne Water will conduct a thorough review of this flood event and any impact that wall had on this flood event,” Mr Andrews said. “And they'll do that work at arm's length from the government and report progress.” Racing Victoria chief executive Andrew Jones told Channel 9 over the weekend the well had created “unintended consequences”. “The VRC took steps to flood-protect its property 15 years ago, which it's entitled to do. That's obviously had unintended consequences for neighbouring residents,” he said. “Obviously there was no intention of the VRC to cause harm. They tried to protect the spring carnival and the Melbourne Cup Carnival, which is a massively important part of Victorian life and the Victorian economy, so I think this is an unintended consequence.” FLOOD WARNINGS Major Flood Warning for the Avoca River Major Flood Warning for the Broken River Major Flood Warning for the Campaspe River Major Flood Warning for the Goulburn River Major Flood Warning for the Loddon River Major Flood Warning for the Seven and Castle Creeks Major Flood Warning for the Wimmera River Moderate Flood Warning for the Barwon River Moderate Flood Warning for the Ovens and King Rivers EMERGENCY WARNINGS Echuca and Echuca Village (Evacuate Immediately) Bunbartha (Evacuate Immediately) Charlton (Evacuate Immediately) Shepparton, Mooroopna, Orrvale, Murchison, Kialla West (Too Late to Leave) Rochester (Move to Higher Ground) Campaspe River downstream of Rochester (Move to Higher Ground) Nanneella, Fairy Dell, Koyuga and Kanyapella South (Move to Higher Ground) Campaspe River Lake Eppalock to Barnadown (Move to Higher Ground) Loddon River Loddon Weir to Kerang (Move to Higher Ground) - by Hamish Spence and Isabel McMillan, news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AN ARMY of selfless volunteers, helpful neighbours and have-a-go heroes are banding together, evacuating vulnerable residents and manning sandbag stations in Central Victoria as towns brace for devastating flooding to hit today. MELBOURNE has plunged out of the nation's million-dollar home club with an almost $80,000 hit to the city's house price in the past three months. A REVIEW will be conducted by Melbourne Water to determine whether a 3m floodwater wall around Flemington Racecourse exacerbated the severity of the flood that devastated Maribyrnong on Friday. TEACHERS are scouring social media for lesson plans because of a lack of quality school resources that forces them to “fend for themselves”, resulting in poorer education outcomes.

In the fourth Episode of INNOVATING FOR THE EARTH, innovation expert and radio and TV presenter James O'Loghlin talks with Simon Thomsen, Project Engineer at Calix and responsible for the R&D on the LEILAC 2 project about how LEILAC Carbon Capture technology is applied to the cement industry. The LEILAC technology is based on Calix's Direct Separation technology, which aims to enable the efficient capture of the unavoidable process carbon emissions, derived from its original application in the magnesite industry. Applying and scaling up the technology to the cement industry carries a large number of risks. To quickly and effectively apply this technology, the European-Australian collaboration LEILAC projects include consortia of some of the world's largest cement, and lime companies, as well as leading research and environmental institutions. LEILAC will deliver a stepchange in the efficiency of capturing CO2 emissions. See www.project-leilac.eu for more information and follow it on twitter under ‘ProjectLEILAC'. Simon Thomsen has taken on a multitude of roles as required by the varying needs of a fast growing company. These have included project managing periodic upgrades of the CFC15000 facility, managing the delivery of services for high value customers such as Melbourne Water and most recently, held a pivotal role in completing the engineering on the pre-FEED study for the LEILAC project before moving to Europe full time in 2017 to work on the project full time. With the LEILAC 1 project now successfully completed, he has transitioned into the LEILAC 2 project to manage the research and development program, which needs to resolve the remaining scale up and integration technology challenges. The LEILAC 2 project has now successfully completed its pre-feasibility study and is progressing with Front End Engineering Design.

BONUS Dr Karen Morley on how to acknowledge, address and beat gender bias. This week we celebrated International Women's Day and the timeliness of this conversation could not be better. Karen’s new book “Beating Gender Bias” persuasively challenge what we don’t know, elegantly reframes the conversation around gender as opposed to just women and expertly engages both individuals and organisations to be part of the solution. That said, every professional woman we speak, and many men, are looking for not just what has to change but HOW it can be different and this conversation with Karen highlights the importance of leading the way when it comes to Gender bias in our organisational culture, team work and at even more granular levels in how to change the conversations and meetings to reflect great gender equity. This show will give you two big things. Firstly it will give you optimism and hope that we can all be part of the change that needs to take place. Secondly, it will give you practical steps to make the personal changes that need to take place as well as the more substantive, organisational changes, that need to occur. Dr Karen Morely brilliantly helps us with the what, why and how in her book ‘Beating Gender Bias.”   About Dr Karen Morley: Karen Morley is an authority on the benefits of gender balanced leadership and how to help women to succeed at work. It’s her own history of experiencing difference and exclusion that drives Karen’s motivation to beat bias. She’s working hard to help leaders understand the value of inclusive leadership to organisational as well as social outcomes. Karen has helped organisations like Bunnings, CSL, Department of Education, Department of Justice, Downer, Fulton Hogan Australia, HASSELL, Melbourne Water, QBE, Officeworks, and the University of Melbourne on their diversity and inclusion programs. She has previously published Gender-Balanced Leadership: An Executive Guide to help organisations be fairer and get great results and Lead like a Coach: How to Make the Most of Any Team to help leaders increase engagement and get better work done.

Val and Faith take to the studio on a glorious late winter Monday morning. Val sets the theme,  reciting The Lady Cyclists Soliloquy, an adaptation of a well known Shakespearean verse, of 1897. We share our respective bike moments, only to discover they converge on the recent Melbourne Water pipe replacement project, before taking a look at some news. The 2019 edition of the Tour de France proved to be one of the most interesting for a long time, and we suggest riders in the City of Port Philip area or those who use or may use St Kilda Rd take a look at the Domain Precinct Draft Masterplan and have their say on the proposal. Sticking with Shakespeare, we introduce an article written by a Melbourne woman in 1896 in which examples of Shakespeare's work foretelling the bicycle are explored. We follow this up with a later article from 1935 which introduces a few more examples. Running out of time we quickly mention the RSL Returned Scyclists League Party coming up this Friday at Curve and the upcoming Melbourne Grand Prix of Cyclocross weekend at Broadford. 

When we talk about people leadership, we're also talking about leading yourself through your career and in areas of influence. No one knows this better than Vicki Bryce, Engagement Advisor for Melbourne Water.

On 19 May 2011, Senior Station Officer Adrian Devenish of the CFA was the initial incident controller at the TriTech Lubricants fire located in Dandenong South, Victoria, Australia. Over 100 firefighters and 30 fire appliances were required to combat the blaze.   Dandenong, Victoria, Australia Dandenong is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, approximately 30 km south-east from the Melbourne CBD. Over 160,000 people live in Dandenong.  Greater Dandenong is the most culturally diverse are in Victoria, with over half of its population born overseas, from more than 160 different birthplaces. The industrial areas of Dandenong form part of one of Australia’s most significant manufacturing places. TriTech Lubricants TriTech Lubricants was located in Dandenong South, in Victoria, Australia. The business stored large quantities of oil products, including engine oil and transmission oil for the domestic and industrial use. Review of the TriTech Lubricants Factory Fire A review into the fire was requested by the then Fire Services Commissioner. The terms of reference of the report were threefold. The command and control arrangements. The control strategies employed. The issuing of community information. This report can be downloaded from the Emergency Management Victoria website. Key learnings from Adrian's interview: Establish an Incident Emergency Management Team Early An Incident Emergency Management Team (IEMT) should be established as early as possible. An IEMT is particularly important where multiple agencies are combatting an incident. In such cases, the Incident Controller forms the IEMT to assist in determining and implementing appropriate strategies. The Fundaments of Emergency Management (Class 1 Emergencies) states that the "first contact between the Incident Controller and support agencies represents the formation of the IEMT". The Incident Emergency Management team established for the TriTech fire included: Victoria Police, Environmental Protection Agency, The city of Greater Dandenong, Viridian New World Glass, Energy authorities (gas and power), Melbourne Water, South East Water, Ambulance Victoria and the TriTech owner.   Ask your questions or share your feedback Comment on the show notes Email feedback@emergencymanagementpodcast.com (audio files welcome) Connect with me Subscribe to the Emergency Management Podcast on Apple Podcasts or on Android Join the Facebook Page

Treatment was a two-day, site-responsive public art project on display (via an eighty-minute bus tour) at Melbourne Water’s Western Treatment Plant in Werribee on 14 and 21 November 2015. Curators David Cross and Cameron Bishop invited six artists to work with the plant’s sights and sounds—its treatment lagoons and abandoned former township, its world-renowned wetlands and resident waterfowl—in order to explore its history, landscape and technology. Listen to this MTalk as David and Cameron lead Treatment’s six featured artists—Catherine Bell, Bindi Cole Chocka, Megan Evans, Shane McGrath, Techa Noble and Spiros Panigirakis—in a round-table conversation that will look back at the project and specifically consider how each artist chose to respond to the 11,000-hectare site. The six works (from performance to sound and film installation) will ground a broader discussion about how we curate and make temporary public art that responds to highly particular cultural, environmental and technological conditions. What benefits arise from artworks popping up in the street, the park, the paddock? Can public art engage a community’s collective mind and change the way it is perceived?
