Paper No. 1 (BIP1) is compiled in association with the annual Budget Papers to inform Parliament and the community, about Victoria’s capital asset program and has been produced annually since 1984-85. BIP1 presents: • detailed listings of major asset investment in 2007-08 for the general government sector and for major public non financial corporations; • summary information for a number of significant corporations that provide goods and services in a commercial market place; and • major public sector asset investment projects being delivered under Partnerships Victoria during 2007-08. The general government sector asset investment projects reported in BIP1 support the outputs detailed in 2007-08 Budget Paper No 3, Service Delivery. Departmental responsibility for projects reflects machinery of government changes announced after the 2006 State election, however, it does not reflect changes announced after June 2007. Projects with Total Estimated Expenditure (TEI) equal to or greater than $100 000 are reported. The document does not include projects due for completion with planned capital expenditure of less than $30 000 in 2007-08. Minor asset expenditure where projects are funded from ongoing minor works allocations and capital grants paid to other sectors (including the private sector) are not included. ASSETS Asset investment projects result in the production, enhancement and acquisition of non-current physical assets, typically infrastructure assets. Infrastructure assets provide services used to support or produce outputs in the form of final services or products. The State’s asset portfolio includes road and railway networks, information technology systems, schools and hospitals, as well as water storage and distribution infrastructure, correctional centres, courts, cultural assets such as historic museum collections, and environmental assets such as public reserves, parks and public open spaces. Public Sector Asset Investment Program 2007-08 Introduction 1 DOCUMENT STRUCTURE Projects are listed together with their location under entity headings. Details of TEI are provided, including investment activity up to and including 30 June 2007, together with projected asset investment expenditures on individual projects for 2007-08 and beyond. For each entity, the asset investments are listed as either: • ‘Existing’ – projects that have received government approval and were being delivered as at 30 June 2007; or • ‘New’ – projects approved and announced to commence by government as part of the 2006-07 Budget Update or the 2007-08 Budget. BIP1 is prepared by the Department of Treasury and Finance with input from the entities concerned. It should be noted that project details as listed reflect the intentions and priorities at the time of compilation. However, since asset investments are rarely static, it can be expected that some re-scheduling and re-programming will occur during the course of the year. 2 Introduction Public Sector Asset Investment Program 2007-08 CHAPTER 1: PUBLIC SECTOR ASSET INVESTMENT PROGRAM 2007-08 The public sector asset investment program includes capital projects that either increase service capacity or sustain the existing service capacity of assets to meet the needs of all Victorians. This chapter highlights major asset investments of the general government sector and major public non-financial corporations (PNFCs), and Partnerships Victoria projects. 2007-08 ASSET INVESTMENT INITIATIVES The 2007-08 Budget continues to deliver the Government’s commitments which were outlined in Growing Victoria Together, Sustaining Our Assets and Melbourne 2030. These commitments included health and education services, creating a safer environment, and a better future – all within an ongoing framework of sound financial management and fiscal responsibility. This framework also supports major Government policy statements designed to build a strong and innovative economy, create jobs and growth, and deliver a competitive business environment. The asset investment program includes many significant capital projects, including commitments that have been made under the following Government policy statements: • A Fairer Victoria; • Meeting Our Transport Challenges; • Moving Forward – Making Provincial Victoria the Best Place to Live, Work and Invest; • Healthy Futures – Delivering better health, research and jobs for Victorians; and • Maintaining the Advantage – Skilled Victorians. Major strategic asset investments announced in the 2007-08 Budget were presented in Chapter 1, Service and Budget Initiatives and in Appendix A, Output, Asset Investment and Revenue Initiatives of 2007-08 Budget Paper No 3, Service Delivery.

  • Conversion of a Decommissioned Oxidation Lagoon Into a Functional Wetland

Mat. & Env., ISSN: 2186-2982(Print), 2186-2990(Online), Japan CONVERSION OF A DECOMMISSIONED OXIDATION LAGOON INTO A FUNCTIONAL WETLAND Jeram Mallis1, Rhiannon Hamilton2, Scott Rayburg3 and Melissa Naeve4 1City West Water, Australia; 2Phoenix Mecano, Australia, 3Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia; 4Centre for Urban Research, RMIT University, Australia ABSTRACT: This study proposes an ecologically valuable reuse for a decommissioned oxidation lagoon at the Altona Treatment Plant in Victoria, Australia, which could be replicated elsewhere. Previous design attempts for this project had failed due to the potential risk they posed to both the surrounding environment and the Treatment Plant itself. Therefore one of the objectives was to undertake multiple assessments to mitigate these risks. The most important of these, and the focus of this paper, was the determination of the optimal source and quantity of water needed to sustain the wetland. Potential water sources included: water from a nearby estuarine swamp; treated class C or class A effluent from the treatment plant; and rainfall-fed runoff from the treatment plant site. Through an analysis of cost and quality of the available water sources, it was determined that locally captured rainfall-fed runoff with Class-A recycled water as a backup supply was the most feasible. In addition, hydrologic modelling revealed that this source could maintain flow in the wetland year round, even in drought years. Keywords: Constructed Wetland, Recycled Water, Asset Recycling, Water Reuse 1. INTRODUCTION as ‘ecogenocide’ by draining the marshlands of Iraq to destabilise the human inhabitants of an area Wetlands in Australia have immense ecological which had revolted against the regime.
