flag Ghow Swamp, a site of deep Aboriginal cultural significance for tens of thousands of years, has been declared an Aboriginal Place under Victorian law, ensuring its protection. flag It is now being considered for inclusion on Australia’s National Heritage List, a move supported by the Yorta Yorta Nation and federal authorities. flag The nomination aims to preserve the area’s ecological and Indigenous heritage, though it has drawn criticism from some local officials, including Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh, who opposes similar efforts for nearby Kow Swamp, warning of excessive restrictions on land use and public access. flag The final decision on Ghow Swamp will depend on a comprehensive assessment and stakeholder consultation, reflecting ongoing national debates over heritage recognition, land management, and Indigenous rights.
