A mandatory CHMP is required for an activity if (Regulation 6)- (a) all or part of the activity area for the activity is an area of cultural heritage sensitivity; and (b) all or part of the activity is a high impact activity. Is this activity area an area of cultural heritage sensitivity? Yes. The activity area is in an area of cultural heritage sensitivity as the activity area is located within 200m of the high water mark according to Regulation 28 (1). Is this activity a high impact activity? The proposed activity is a high impact activity, as defined in Division 5, Regulation 45 as it includes: (1) The construction of three or more dwellings on a lot or allotment This CHMP has been mandatorily prepared to allow activities associated with the proposed construction works that may disturb Aboriginal heritage sites within the activity area, and provide contingency arrangements for managing the discovery of any further Aboriginal heritage sites identified during construction works associated with the development. Sponsor The sponsor of this CHMP is LT Corporation Pty Ltd Cultural Heritage Advisor This CHMP has been authored by qualified archaeologists and heritage consultants, experienced in professional Aboriginal heritage assessment and evaluation since 1991, in accordance with section 189 of the Act. Qualification details can be found in Appendix 5. The author of this CHMP: Melinda Albrecht Project Manager Activity Description The activity area is located approximately 140 km southeast of the Melbourne CBD at Rhyll, on Phillip Island, Western Port and is the proposed development of the a residential hotel, conference centre, serviced apartments and dwelling. The proposed development extends across a former caravan park site situated behind properties along Beach Street to the south and east, and Jansson Road to the west, with a frontage along Lock Street in the north. It should be noted that all activities will be conducted in accordance with the Mixed Use Zone (MUZ) as per the Bass Coast Planning Scheme (see Appendix 7).1 The activity area is approximately 1.83 hectares in size, and is situated on a flat, low coastal bench overlooking Rhyll inlet, approximately 300m south by south west of Lady Nelson Point. To the south and west of the activity area is the slope of a former cliff line, representing a prior shoreline of Westernport Bay. 1 http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/planningschemes/basscoast/ordinance/32 21/02/11 04s basc.pdf - accessed http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/planningschemes/aavpp/32 29/11/10. 04.pdf - accessed ED19/67661 The proposed development of the activity area involves two planning permit applications. The first application (Application 100441), at 1 - 11 Lock Road, Rhyll, involves the construction of 33 serviced apartments within 2 buildings, a residential hotel comprising 84 rooms, including a conference centre, staff amenities meeting room, dining area and kitchen within a three-storey building as well as the development of a café and day spa with a variation to the standard car parking requirement of Clause 52.06 of the Planning Scheme. This development will also include a sealed driveway and car parking area. The second planning permit application seeks to construct 32 dwellings on the land at part of 1 - 11 Lock Road and 45 Jansson Road, Rhyll. The proposed development includes the construction of nine main buildings across the activity area. Building 1, to be located in the north eastern corner of the activity area, will contain a day spa, meeting room, dining area and kitchen, as well as staff facilities. This building will be a multi-storey development with these facilities located at ground floor in addition to the lobby. The first floor will contain residential hotel rooms and the conference room, and the second floor will contain residential hotel rooms. Building 2 is to be situated in the north western section of the activity area, and will also be a multi-storey building with a ground floor, and a first and second floor. A lap pool and a wading pool will be constructed south east of this structure, enclosed by a glass roof, with a child care facility and cafe/bar south of these pools. Building three will be situated along the western boundary of the property, west of the pools, child care facility and cafe/bar. This building will contain a ground floor, first floor and second floor. The ground and first floor contain serviced apartments whilst the second floor contains residential hotel rooms. The area in the south eastern section of the property, east of building three, will be utilised for a sealed driveway and car parking. Buildings four to nine, form part of the second planning permit application (Application 100480), and are of a similar size and design, and will contain a ground floor and a first floor. These buildings will be located in the southern section of the property and will contain 32 dwellings. According to Regulation 68, the proposed development of the subject land will constitute a medium-size activity in relation to the prescribed review fees for this CHMP. The likely impact on the land surfaces within these defined areas will be extensive, with the removal of topsoil, and existing vegetation, and localised deeper excavations into the underlying subsoil across the proposed building sites. The construction works may also involve filling in sections of the property. The specific depth of these excavations is unknown at this stage, however the excavations for the apartments and proposed pools are likely to exceed 1m depth due to the sandy nature of the soil deposits. Evaluation Methodology Based on the results of the Desktop and Standard Assessments as well as taking into consideration the views and recommendations of the Traditional Owner Group community members, a testing programme combining a controlled lxlm hand excavation and the controlled hand excavation of shovel test pits was implemented as the most effective means of investigating the archaeological potential across the flat to gently inclined sandy dunes landform present within the activity area. 15th The testing was undertaken between February 2010 to the 17 February 2010, with a total of 3 days of excavation and field recording. A total of 35 shovel test pits and one 1x1m test pit were hand excavated in a grid pattern across the activity area, with 4 shovel test pits excavated across the gently inclined sandy dune in the north eastern corner and northern portion of the activity area (identified during the standard assessment as Survey Unit 2) and 31 shovel test pits excavated across the remainder of the activity area (identified during the standard assessment as Survey Unit 1). The lxlm test pit was positioned on a cleared area of the property that contained less ground disturbance than the remainder of the property. • The locations any artefacts identified throughout the testing programme were then subject to targeted shovel test z• n pitting where shovel test pits were radiated at 5m intervals around artefact find spots. o lL1 _J The specific aims of the subsurface testing follows: - programme were as rr o 1.
