    Submission Cover Sheet North East Link Project EES IAC 402 Request to be heard?: No, but please email me th Full Name: Phil Turner Organisation: Maroondah City Council Affected property: Attachment 1: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 2: Maroondah_Coun Attachment 3: Comments: To the North East Link Inquiry & Advisory Committee (IAC) Maroondah Council provides the following submission to the IAC, in relation to the EES for the North East Link project. While Council formally supports the objectives of the NEL project, I advise that the support of Maroondah Council has been conditional on appropriate traffic considerations being made with regard to the impact of the project on the Eastlink tunnels, the Ringwood Bypass and by extension the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. Council previously commissioned a review by O’Brien Traffic that considered the project in the context of the tunnels and impacts on Ringwood, and it was determined that without ancillary works to take traffic pressure off the Eastlink tunnels and the Ringwood Bypass, the project would potentially fail and have a major detrimental impact on the viability of the Ringwood Metropolitan Activity Centre. The O’Brien Traffic report attached to this submission details the basis for those concerns. Council’s concerns were previously forwarded to NELA and Council officers have met with NELA officers on these matters, however, to date Council has not received an appropriate response that addresses these concerns, including within the ESS. In support of this submission, the following documents have also been uploaded: o A submission letter signed by Council’s Mayor Rob Steane documenting the history of Council’s dealings regarding NEL, and outlining Council’s concerns current with the project; o Council Report September 2018; o O’Brien Traffic Review dated 12 September 2017; o Council letter to NELA (26 February 2018) and NELA response (14 March 2018); o Correspondence from Council on Bypass concerns (including technical reports); and o Minutes from MCC / NELA meetings 6 April 2018 and 30 April 2018.

  • Controlling Deer in Victoria
    Controlling deer in Victoria AN OPEN LETTER TO The Hon. The Hon. The Hon. Jaclyn Symes Lily D’Ambrosio Lisa Neville Minister for Minister for Energy, Minister for Water Regional Development, Environment and Minister for Police and Agriculture and Resources Climate Change Emergency Services Level 36, 121 Exhibition St, Level 16, 8 Nicholson St, Level 17, 8 Nicholson St, Melbourne VIC 3000 East Melbourne VIC 3002 East Melbourne VIC 3002 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 2 May 2019 Dear Ministers Symes, D’Ambrosio and Neville, We are writing to you in your roles as key natural resource Ministers in the Victorian Government. We are concerned that Victoria’s Draft Deer Management Strategy (2018) fell far short of addressing the considerable problems feral deer bring to peri-urban and regional communities, and to wetlands, catchments and the natural environment. We offer here some recommendations for the final strategy; it is a critical opportunity to control deer populations and to reverse the increasing impacts they are having. We agree with the rough estimate for the state’s deer population, as documented in the draft strategy, at ‘between several hundred thousand up to one million or more’. The population is growing rapidly at an exponential rate1, and far exceeds the capacity for control by recreational hunters. Research into the native habitats of the four main species of deer in Victoria indicates that they can continue to extend their range, potentially occupying almost every habitat in the nation2. Victoria’s biodiversity is at risk.

    The many dedicated groups already working in the catchment the are limited in their ability to deal with the scale of works necessary to improve the condition of the area. promise A coordinated approach is needed to shape future urban and the vision natural environments so they set standards for and attract the most sustainable 21st century investments and development. iving Links will establish an interconnected web of habitat corridors, linking existing open space, conservation reserves, recreation L facilities and the many fragmented patches of native vegetation across the catchment.
