Kororoit Creek Upper Summary Key stakeholders - Melton Council was involved and Melbourne Water Took time to orientate ourselves Rural dominated management unit - what's the nest way of including privates landholders? Outside of UBG Lengthy discussion about whether PO's were applicable Quite a discussion about private wetland - is there enough protections/guidance for subdivisions e.g. setback of septics etc. ID Performance Objectives (preliminary) Who's in? PO1 Target three areas (min. 2 ha) for habitat improvement for Bibron's Toadlet. PO2 Increase the length of continuous riparian vegetation from 12% to 18% (approximately 9 kilometres) from the headwaters at Mt Aitken to Plumpton. PO3 Increase participation rates in capacity building and citizen science programs from moderate to high Enviro groups (local groups) - refer to Melton for info. Schools. Landholders/farmers. PO4 High priority Low Flow Dependent Ecosystems are managed as guided by the Low Flow Dependent Ecosystem Plan to protect and maintain them in the landscape Add in PO Perhaps include something about wetland protection Add in PO Collect data on birds Enviro groups . Citizen Science Add in PO Farming practices e.g. nutrient runoff Comments on PO's PO1 "2ha per site or 2ha total across three sites?" "What’s habitat?" PO1 Is [Bibron's Toadlet] currently in the area? Area we focussing on improving condition and habitat? Why focussing on Bibron's in this area? Not GGF? PO2 Opportunities for linking important areas with reveg. For what purpose? Is there opportunities for access by community? PO2 Is 12% current state? Need an understanding of land tenure. PO3 Opportunities for long term relationships with schools in this area. E.g. local curriculum focussing on waterways. PO3 "about what?" "Weed management, environmental enhancement program - through Melton Council. Melton has engaged Citizen Science programs" Comments on map Need land tenure included to show better picture Where is Mt Aitken? Mainly green wedge Plumpton: "tourism", "GGF conservation areas" "UGB" marked near Melton Highway Green wedge area marked about Melton Highway - perhaps the map could show the green wedge area Reservoir/dam: "Russo's Estate" adjacent to Holden Rd - "partially subdivided, multiple landholders", "Brett Lane and associates work on this site?" "What is this site? Surrounded by cropped land. Worthy of protection?" Digger's Rest is marked - perhaps should be included on map Comments on Feedback sheet What is your overall response to the targets Moderate - High Why did you mark that spot?/Is anything missing? Need some more time and context to be sure. Access probably not relevant - private land General Comments Planning Scheme - issues with subdivision - need guidance for setback of septics etc. e.g. wetland Werribee workshop 3 - map comments (raw data) 14 March 2018 Toolern Creek Summary More detailed performance objectives than some other areas Hit most of the target categories Some refinement and clarification required e.g. stormwater Where are the stakeholders? Very Melbourne Water dominated group. ID Performance Objectives (preliminary) Who's in? Treat urban development (e.g. Melton) so DCI of Toolern Creek remains below existing levels (3.3% at confluence with Werribee River). For every hectare of new impervious area, this requires harvesting around 3.6 ML/y and PO1 infiltrating 0.6 ML/y. This equates to 2.8 GL/y and 0.5 GL/y for ultimate urbanisation, i.e. the anticipated long term urban footprint within this catchment. PO2 Target three areas (min. 2 ha) for habitat improvement for Bibron's Toadlet. PO3 Increase riparian vegetation cover from 20% to 35% (about 4 kilometres) along the upper reaches of Toolern Creek PO4 Protect and enhance high quality vegetation along the upper reaches of Toolern Creek adjacent to, and around, the Lerderderg State Park (Pyrete Range) through reducing threats from invasive flora and fauna PO5 Increase access along waterways from 14% to 20% (about 2 km) with a focus on urban and urban growth PO6 Have in place methods to assess volume and source of litter to inform litter reduction programs PO7 Increase participation rates in capacity building and citizen science programs from moderate to high Comments on PO's PO1 What dies this really mean? Clarify what is actually meant. PO2 Why specific species for frogs? PO5 Also opportunities for older areas - not all urban growth area e.g. Arnolds Creek and Ryan's Creek PO6 Need to take action. Lack of internal (MW) focus on litter e.g. clean up Australia Day PO7 Could be difficult to achieve. PO7 Re citizen science "Is this participation? Condition metric." PO7 Or "double participation rates" -> option for different wording Comments on targets Amenity/Recreation/Connection: Good opportunities for social outcomes in this space Comments on map Melton (Toolern Creek): Lots of friends groups active in this area e.g. Ryan's creek rehabilitation Wetland marked East of Toolern Creek South of Melton General Comments Participation - how do people connect, branch out to other areas etc.? How do citizens find opportunities and get involved e.g. is there a 'living links' model in this area? Ramp up Living Links in this region - not siloing organisations Opportunities for home corp. agenda for litter management within Melbourne water. Werribee workshop 3 - map comments (raw data) 14 March 2018 Parwan Creek Summary (Little River Upper and Parwan Creek) Commitment to monitor and assess catchment-based impacts require an intervention commitment (consistently e.g. water quality, quantity and litter) Channel form is not addressed in the performance objectives and known to be an issue in this catchment Parwan is light-on for performance objectives. Conceding low environmental values ID Performance Objectives (preliminary) Who's in? PO1 Improve riparian vegetated buffer for bird habitat. PO2 Protect and enhance high quality vegetation along the upper reaches of the Parwan River adjacent to, and around, the Werribee Gorge State Park through reducing threats from invasive flora and fauna PO3 Increase participation rates in capacity building and citizen science programs from moderate to high Comments on PO's PO1 Be more spatially explicit PO2 Wrong management unit? Eflow target? Water quality issues from firefighting water PHAs Physical form PO required for this management unit Include physical form as a condition - either use ISC data. Comments on map Jenz Swamp should be labelled General Comments What's missing: Channel form as a factor contributing to values? Only 2 [environmental] performance objectives seems low - is this ok? Werribee workshop 3 - map comments (raw data) 14 March 2018 Little River Upper Summary (Little River Upper and Parwan Creek) Commitment to monitor and assess catchment-based impacts require an intervention commitment (consistently e.g. water quality, quantity and litter) Channel form is not addressed in the performance objectives and known to be an issue in this catchment ID Performance Objectives (preliminary) Who's in? PO1 Increase riparian vegetation cover from 25% to 40% (about 6 km) along the main stem of the Little River from Balliang Creek to Stony Creek Melbourne Water PO2 Protect and enhance high quality vegetation along the upper reaches of 'Little River' around the Brisbane Ranges National Park Melbourne Water PO3 Have in place methods to assess volume and source of litter to inform litter reduction programs PO4 Increase participation rates in capacity building and citizen science programs from moderate to high PO5 Reduce threat to water quality from agriculture to protect instream values PO6 High priority Low Flow Dependent Ecosystems are managed as guided by the Low Flow Dependent Ecosystem Plan to protect and maintain them in the landscape PO7 50 per cent of waterway within the management unit will meet ecological watering objectives Add in PO Provide fish passage along the main stem of Little river towards Balliang Creek Comments on PO's PO2 Define "high quality" PO3 Doesn't feel like it's necessary here - should be overarching. Plus need a 'Action' litter target that's spatially explicit PO5 What water quality attribute? Comments on map Wetlands labelled on the map: Greens Road East Wetland, Rabbiters Swamp, west Quandong Swamp Werribee workshop 3 - map comments (raw data) 14 March 2018 Laverton Creek Summary Awareness raising within the community of neighbourhood values (i.e. interpretation signage) RAMSAR boundary at estuaries Clarity around some objectives: distance of waterway, access to waterway, appropriate plantings for EVC Wording - weed control and farm control ID Performance Objectives (preliminary) Who's in? PO1 Protect and where possible enhance riparian and wetland habitat for birds and frogs PO2 Increase tree canopy cover in urban areas along waterways by about 3 km and maintain existing trees PO3 Increase access along waterways from 25% to 40% (about 5 km) with a focus on urban and urban growth PO4 Have in place methods to assess volume and source of litter to inform litter reduction programs PO5 Increase participation rates in capacity building and citizen science programs from moderate to high Add in PO Awareness raising within general community with the environmental they live Add in PO Kayes Drain and other formalised drainage lines (concrete example).

Melbourne Water is responsible for 8,400 km of rivers and creeks, TREES 428 wetland treatment systems and more than 1,400 km of PLANTED ALONG regional drainage systems in the Port Phillip and Westernport region. TOOLERN CREEK This work is funded by the Waterways and Drainage Charge, which is paid by property owners and collected by water retailers on our behalf. $206,204 Within your local area, Melbourne Water cares for the following IN COMMUNITY waterways: FUNDING • Little Blind Creek • Toolern Creek • Werribee River • Eynesbury Creek 60 km • Kororoit Creek • Djerriwarrh Creek WEED CONTROL ALONG WATERWAYS Healthy waterways Maintenance and new projects Each year we create and maintain healthy waterways by removing litter, debris and excess sediment. We remove and spray weeds, cut grass and plant native trees and shrubs. What we have done Why We plant native trees and shrubs along waterways to provide habitat for birds and animals. Revegetating waterways and replacing weeds 4 km Revegetation with native plants prevents erosion and improves water quality. Introduced and noxious weeds can choke waterways and take over 60 km Weed control from plants that provide healthy habitats for birds and animals. Silt and sediment is removed for drainage and flood protection and to prevent pollution building up in our waterways. Excess silt 3 Sediment/ and sediment in waterways and wetlands can impact habitat for 803 m silt removal native plants and animals. Litter can have devastating consequences for native animals and plants living in waterways.

    PaRt 3: assessment of tRansPoRt CoRRiDoRs 9. Regional Rail link (west of weRRibee to DeeR PaRk) The proposal for the Regional Rail Link – west of Werribee to Deer Park is being planned in an integrated manner with the changes to Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary, the Outer Metropolitan Ring / E6 Transport Corridor and the preservation of grasslands areas in Melbourne’s west. The Regional Rail Link can allow urban growth areas in Melbourne’s west to be served by high-quality public transport infrastructure early on in their development. It is of strategic importance to Victoria in achieving its wider transport planning vision as outlined in The Victorian Transport Plan and urban growth planning as outlined in Melbourne 2030 and Melbourne @ 5 million. 9.1 Understanding the Corridor The Regional Rail Link – west of Werribee to Deer Park is a 30 kilometre long section of up to 50 kilometres of the rail project linking the Melbourne-Geelong railway west of Werribee to Southern Cross Station via the Melbourne-Ballarat railway, connecting at Deer Park. The other section of the Regional Rail Link uses the existing rail corridors between Southern Cross Station and Deer Park. Both sections of the overall Regional Rail Link can be developed independently of each other, although both are proposed to be developed together to reduce construction times and ensure overall project benefits are realised as early as possible. 9.2 assessment The selection and assessment process to determine the alignment for the Regional Rail Link – west of Werribee to Deer Park involved: > Preparing route concepts to identify a broad range of options considering engineering constraints and benefits.

Despite the cool, drizzly weather 25 people attended and thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. Nineteen animals were trapped, identified, sexed, weighed and released over the weekend. The species trapped were Dusky Antechinus, Agile Antechinus, Bush Rat and House Mouse. This information will be included in the Atlas of Victorian Wildlife database. Twenty eight species of bird were identified during day and evening walks as well as two frog species, Brush Tail Possums, Sugar Gliders and Swamp Wallabies. The Field Naturalists are keen to return to conduct a bat survey and possibly a reptile survey. The information from these surveys increases our understanding of the species diversity and habitat within YNCR which assists with future management plans.

Email: [email protected] 2. Melbourne Water Corporation, Melbourne VIC, 3008 Key Points • Platypuses have recently been upgraded to ‘Near Threatened’ by the IUCN due to mounting evidence of population declines and localized extinctions. • Traditional methods of surveying platypuses are time and labour intensive and can have low sensitivity resulting in limited information on population trends across their range. • Environmental DNA is an effective and cost-effective method to ascertain the distribution of platypuses over a large spatial scale. • These data provide a baseline to assess the impacts of future threats and effectiveness of management actions. Abstract The platypus was recently upgraded to ‘Near Threatened’ by the IUCN based on mounting evidence of population declines, local extinctions and fragmentation. Platypus populations in Victorian were identified as under the greatest stress. However, it is recognised that there is a scarcity of data on distribution or population trajectories at a local and catchment scale to fully understand their conservation status and threats. Traditional monitoring methods based on live-trapping using mesh or fyke nets is time and labour intensive and restricted to certain habitats by water depth and flow, which has inherently limited the acquisition of data over a broad spatial scale. Over the past few years, EnviroDNA, in collaboration with University of Melbourne and Melbourne Water, has developed and tested environmental DNA (eDNA) as a viable method to detect platypuses using a long-term monitoring dataset from the greater Melbourne region.
