The West Wimmera Action Group was formed after a public meeting held at the Winiam Hall, south of Nhill last week.

Meeting organiser John Bennett, who farms on the northern side of the desert near Kaniva, said there had been concern about a number of issues in the wake of the fires, which burnt out the majority of the Little Desert National Park earlier in the year.

He said park management, the Victorian government's fire levy, which it is compelling local councils to collect, and the issue of dingo breeding within the Little Desert were the three major topics of conversation.

In regards to park management Mr Bennett said issues such as a lack of planned burns, communications among fire fighting bodies and resourcing were all raised.

"The aim of the meeting was not to point fingers but to find a constructive solution to ensure we don't get in these type of situations again," he said.

"We feel that a situation where a town like Dimboola is in that much danger needs to be avoided and we have to look at anything we can do to stop a repeat of the situation," Mr Colbert said.

"This won't be just one action, but a lot of different things, whether it be prescribed burns, or forward fire planning or whatever."

On the topic of dingo management, Mr Colbert said the focus was on ensuring there were no unintended consequences should legal dingo breeding programs, such as the one conducted at the Little Desert Lodge at Winiam, be damaged in a natural disaster.

"The prices have gone up almost six times in just three years, farmers that were paying $4000 or so in 2022 could be looking at just under $24,000 this year, it is a very steep increase and it is linked to land ownership, rather than income, so if a farm has a bad year it is a big impost."
