  • Indigenous Scoping Project – Emerald and Surrounds
    Indigenous scoping project – Emerald and surrounds Compiled by Georgia Lloyd Objectives This project investigated the Indigenous heritage of the Dandenong ranges, including: - Information about the Wurundjeri and Bunurong clans and their association with the area - Seasonal movements of the groups - Indigenous sites in the area and - Bush foods and their uses The area of interest for this study can be defined as from Belgrave to Gembrook, north to Monbulk/Yellingbo, and south to Cardinia Dam/Belgrave South/Paternoster Road with the main focus though on the area around Emerald. Findings Clan groups Indigenous groups have occupied the Dandenong ranges for over 35,000 years (Rhodes and Bell 2004, p. i). The study area for this project falls within the land of the Bunurong and Wurrundjeri peoples. The tribal lands of the Bunurong are thought to have extended from Western Port Bay to the Dandenong Ranges, including all of the Mornington Peninsula (Butler et al. 1999, p.10). The lands of the Wurrundjeri extended to the north and to the west, along the Yarra River and its catchment (Rhodes and Bell 2004, p. i). There is some dispute about where the boundary between the two groups falls. It is believed that Koo-wee-rup and the lower Dandenongs were created by the Dreamtime ancestor Lohan and are known as marr ne bek or ‘excellent country’. Following from this, the Bunurong people, as descendent of Lohan, would be the custodians of this land (Rhodes and Bell 2004, p. i). However, other researchers dispute this finding and believe that the Wurrundjeri are the traditional owners of this area.

  • Environmental Infrastructure Inquiry Submission S157 Received 28/09/2020
    Hume City Council – submission to Environment and Planning Committee Inquiry into Environmental Infrastructure for Growing Populations Terms of Reference: An inquiry into the current and future arrangements to secure environmental infrastructure, particularly parks and open space, for a growing population in Melbourne and across regional centres to the Environment and Planning Committee for consideration and report no later than 31 December 2020. 1. Introduction Hume City Council welcomes the opportunity to submit into the Environment and Planning Committee Inquiry into Environmental Infrastructure for Growing Populations in Victoria. To address the terms of reference for this inquiry Hume City Council submits on three key areas, these are: Section 2 - Community-focussed Open Space Mapping Section 3 - Delivery of effective walking and cycling infrastructure Section 4 - Delivery of Regional Parks Section 5 - Delivery of Waterway Corridors Section 6 - Protecting existing canopy cover in developments Section 7 - Funding opportunities for pipeline projects Section 8 - Addressing issues with the implementation of the Melbourne Strategic Impact Assessment. Section 9 - Implementation of Integrated Water Management For the purposes of this submission, Environmental Infrastructure has been defined to include all passive and active open space, conservation areas and waterway reserves, plus the infrastructure to support and connect those reserves including paths, trails, vegetation, and the management practices to support them. The submission will highlight contemporary policy and implementation concerns that need to be addressed, to pave the way for an integrated, sustainable, and socially responsible approach to environmental infrastructure. Council recently submitted into the Inquiry into Ecosystem Decline – many of the points covered in this submission are rearticulated here, as the issues cross over significantly.

  • Response 1 I Am Writing to You Regarding the Latest Agenda Item for the 23 June Council Meeting Regarding the Trial Transport Projects
    Response 1 I am writing to you regarding the latest agenda item for the 23 June council meeting regarding the trial transport projects. I have submitted a response for tomorrow's meeting but am messaging you here as my full submission is longer than allowed and seek some further information. The proposed transport, movement and access trials are a good initiative for public safety, health and improving the current road hierarchy, particularly to support cycling. The strategic move of not letting a good crisis go to waste is also appreciated and I fully support these trials in these times. However, a comprehensive analysis of traffic conditions (before and after), community consultation and transparent process must be adhered too. Traffic surveys and evidence to justify their permanency post-trial needs to be transparent and open for discussion via good community consultation. Concerns: Trenerry Crescent closure: - It is expected that this will cause significant delays to local community traffic in the Clifton Hill pocket bordered by Heidelberg Road to the north and Hoddle Street to the west. Without any southern access point, it will divert all traffic towards these major arterials. Whilst I understand this is the desired outcome and will prevent rat-running through this pocket (which there is a substantial amount of), it does require serious consideration of the impact to this community. It will cause significant delays for local traffic which will now be funneled towards these state arterial routes which already experience substantial congestion particularly at peak times. Further, there are 3 main exits for residents from this pocket, being Roseneath, Ramsden and Fenwick.
