The Activity COESR Pty Ltd is proposing to rezone the land in the study to construct a multi-purpose development, known as ‘CORA’ (Map 3), including: • Retail Village (design studio, art gallery, microbrewery, shop, food and drink); • Hotel; • Wellness Centre; • Media Centre; • Elite Sports Facility, Sports Science Hub, Wave Pool and Gymnasium; • Managers Residence, Rural Residential Quarters (49 No.), Surf Eco Lodges (15 No.), Woodland Eco Lodges (22 No.), Staff Accommodation, Staff Apartments (28 No., Caretakers Dwellings (6 No.) and Artists in Residence; • Organic Farming; • Sculpture Garden; and • Road Infrastructure. The Study Area The study area is located at Cape Otway Road and Connies Lane, Modewarre, Victoria (Map 2). Methods The assessments undertaken as part of this desktop CHA were a desktop assessment only. The desktop assessment consisted of reviews of relevant heritage registers and databases, previous archaeological publications and unpublished reports, and a review of the environmental context of the study area, culminating in a predictive statement regarding the likelihood of Aboriginal cultural heritage occurring in the study area. A field survey or inspection did not form part of the scope of works for this assessment. Results The desktop assessment indicated that there have been 57 Aboriginal places previously recorded within a 12-km radius of the study area and four historical heritage places within 2 km of the study area (Map 8). No Proposed Elite Sports Retreat, Modewarre, Victoria: PCHS, March, 2018 vi previously registered Aboriginal or historical places are located in the study area. The desktop assessment concluded that artefact scatters and low-density artefact distributions are the types of Aboriginal places and domestic sites, farming sites and tree plantings are the types of historical heritage places most likely to occur within the study area. Most of the study area comprises ephemeral wetland, albeit rarely and has been subject to regular agricultural modification since the mid-19th century. The slightly elevated lands to the east, south east and south west are the areas considered most likely to have Aboriginal and historical archaeological potential. Two areas of cultural heritage sensitivity (under the Aboriginal Heritage Regulations 2007) are located in the study area. Conclusions The following conclusions are made regarding the likely presence of Aboriginal and/or historical heritage within the study area: • There are no registered Aboriginal places recorded within the study area or within 50 m of the study area. • The study area is located within a mapped area of cultural heritage sensitivity, being land within 200 m of a waterway; • The study area also contains large areas of wetland, including two permanent waterbodies and land subject to inundation). Although these areas are not considered to meet the definition of a waterway under r.4 of the Aboriginal Heritage Regulations 2007, the margins are considered likely to contain cultural deposits and are considered to be ‘Areas of Aboriginal Archaeological Likelihood’; • Formal visual assessment of whether the areas of sensitivity have been subject to SGD did not form part of the scope of works for this assessment. However, it is considered that on the balance of probability part or all of the areas of sensitivity have not been subject to SGD. • Several sections of the study area have potential to retain archaeological deposits due to their positions in the landscape in landforms that may be culturally sensitive. These are on elevated lands on the margins of the waterways (Map 10). • There are no registered historical places within the study area. • The desktop assessment identified two areas where historical heritage and/or archaeological sites may be present: 1320 and 1340 Cape Otway Road, Modewarre. Recommendations Recommendation 1: Mandatory CHMP Required As there are two areas of cultural heritage sensitivity located in the study area and the activity is considered to be a high impact activity, a mandatory CHMP under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 is required. Although the entire study area will need to be assessed as part of the CHMP, survey (and subsurface testing effort Proposed Elite Sports Retreat, Modewarre, Victoria: PCHS, March, 2018 vii should concentrate on the areas of higher ground on the margins of the permanent and ephemeral wetlands. Recommendation 2: Requirement for Further Historical Archaeological Investigation As a mandatory CHMP is required for the activity, a formal archaeological survey and HHA report under s.131 of the Heritage Act 1995 will be required. Although historic heritage may occur anywhere in the study area, the survey should focus on the farm complexes, and surrounding land, located at 1320 and 1340 Cape

It includes both transnational, comparative and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna- tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic focus.

Message from our Chief Executive I am delighted to present Alfred Health’s first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP): a living and practical plan built around strong relationships, respect and pride in our local Aboriginal community and the potential for employment and business opportunities. This plan is something of a watershed in our relationship with our Aboriginal community. It recognises that we need to do better in providing care for our Aboriginal patients and commits us to a journey to achieve greater equality in healthcare for our first peoples. Already it has been a two-year journey in developing this plan and along the way we have learnt much about what reconciliation means to us and the importance of meaningful and respectful relationships. Thanks must go to the many people involved in creating this plan, particularly to local elder Caroline Briggs, The Boon Wurrung Foundation, and Reconciliation Australia who have supported and guided us through this process. More about our plan The vision for reconciliation is for all Australians to be equal, to have equal opportunities and for there to be trust as we move forward in a shared vision for our country. I sincerely hope that this plan This plan is a summary of and the energy and commitment of our Alfred Health staff will contribute to achieving this vision.

The purpose of the Study is to complete the identification, assessment and documentation of places of post-contact cultural significance within Corangamite Shire, excluding the town of Camperdown (the study area) and to make recommendations for their future conservation. This volume contains the Reviewed and Revised Thematic Environmental History. It should be read in conjunction with Volumes 1 & 2 of the Study, which contain the following: • Volume 1. Overview, Methodology & Recommendations • Volume 2. Citations for Precincts, Individual Places and Cultural Landscapes This document was reviewed and revised by Ray Tonkin and Samantha Westbrooke in July 2013 as part of the completion of the Corangamite Heritage Study, Stage 2. This was a task required by the brief for the Stage 2 study and was designed to ensure that the findings of the Stage 2 study were incorporated into the final version of the Thematic Environmental History. The revision largely amounts to the addition of material to supplement certain themes and the addition of further examples of places that illustrate those themes. There has also been a significant re-formatting of the document. Most of the original version was presented in a landscape format.
