INTRODUCTION The Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) contains a list of threatened species and ecological communities that are considered to be of national conservation significance. Any impacts on these species considered significant requires the approval of the Australian Minister for the Environment. If there is a possibility of a significant impact on Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES), a Referral under the EPBC Act should be considered. The Minister will decide after 20 business days whether the project will be a ‘controlled action’ under the EPBC Act, in which case it cannot be undertaken without the approval of the Minister. This approval depends on a further assessment and approval process (lasting between three and nine months, depending on the level of assessment). Brett Lane and Associates Pty Ltd (BL&A) were engaged by EMKC Developments Pty Ltd, on behalf of MarksX Group Pty Ltd, to undertake an assessment of MNES, specifically flora and fauna species and ecological communities listed under the EPBC Act within a portion of the property at 489-555 Robinson’s Road, Truganina (the ‘study area’), in Melbourne’s western suburbs. The study area is proposed to developed into an industrial area. The location and extent of the study area is presented in figures 1 through 4, 6 & 7 and 10 & 11 throughout this report. This assessment is a follow up to similar assessments undertaken within and adjacent the study area in 2007 by BL&A and Ecology Partners Pty Ltd. During these assessments, one MNES was recorded in the study area – Natural Temperate Grassland of the Victorian volcanic Plain (NTGVVP), an ecological community listed as critically endangered under the EPBC Act. Another MNES, Spiny Rice-flower – also listed as critically endangered under the EPBC Act, was recorded immediately north of the study area. This assessment was commissioned to determine the current presence and status of any MNES which have the potential to occur in the study area, determine whether development of the study area would have a significant impact on any MNES found to occur there and provide recommendations on the next course of action. This assessment was undertaken by a team from BL&A, comprising Elinor Ebsworth (Senior Ecologist), Teisha Lay (Zoologist), Jackson Clarke (Zoologist), Curtis Doughty (Senior Zoologist), Davide Coppolino (Senior Ecologist) and Brett Macdonald (Senior Ecologist and Project Manager).

  • Assessment of Transport Corridors 9
    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.

  • The Yalukit-Willam
    THE YALUKIT-WILLAM The First People of Hobsons Bay THE YALUKIT-WILLAM The Aboriginal people who lived in what we now know as the City of Hobsons Bay are known as the Yalukit-willam, a name meaning ‘river camp’ or ‘river dwellers’. The Yalukit-willam are associated with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay that extends from the Werribee River, across to Williamstown, Port Melbourne, St. Kilda, and Prahran. The language of the Melbourne people, includes three dialects, Daung wurrung, Woi wurrung, and Boon wurrung, and is part of a group of related languages collectively known as the Kulin group of languages, or the Kulin Nation. The three Melbourne dialects are referred to as the East Kulin area. The Kulin people, even those who lived great distances from one another, understood each other’s dialects and had an agreement about intermarriage. One of the bonds maintaining this agreement was “moiety affiliation”: The Kulin divided their world into two halves or “moieties”, with one half of the people known as waa (crow) and the other, bunjil (eaglehawk). Individuals were identified with one or other of these moieties and could marry only someone from the other moiety. Belonging to this land were clans, comprising one or two extended families who hunted and gathered together. These families moved through the landscape using their knowledge of the environment and the seasons. The clans were sometimes distinguished by the names of their leading men. Two such leaders of the Yalukit-willam were Benbow and Derrimut. The neighbouring group to the Boon wurrung were known as the Woi wurrung and one of their clans, the Wurundjeri-willam were the neighbours of the Yalukit-willam and as such had custodial obligations and shared rights.
