  • Blackburn Creeklands Master Plan
    BLACKBURN CREEKLANDS MASTER PLAN September 2002 Blackburn Creeklands Master Plan OVERVIEW Information from a range of sources has been compiled for the Blackburn Creeklands to build a picture of the park and of its past and present management. This background information acknowledges the community‟s close association with the Creeklands, the value that the community places on each of the three parks in the chain, the efforts of the Blackburn Creeklands Advisory Committee and improvements undertaken by Council. Relevant strategies and policy documents provide a City-wide and regional context for the Master Plan. In addition, a study of flora, fauna and habitat by Practical Ecology Pty Ltd was commissioned specifically for the Master Plan (refer Appendix A) and is a major component of the Plan. The recent study of Gardiners Creek by Ove Arup for Melbourne Water is also highly relevant to the future directions for the Creeklands. The site analysis considers the separate components that make up the Creeklands. It provides a detailed description of existing conditions for each component across the whole park and from this, key issues and opportunities for improvement are highlighted. Broadly, the site analysis covers the following: Environmental elements . Vegetation, fauna and habitat . The creek . Visual attributes, such as terrain and landscape character The park user . Park facilities, particularly access trails, entrance treatments, fencing and car parking, as well as playgrounds, lighting and seats. Activities, visitor needs, park interpretation and community education . Heritage interests Property management . Leases, tenant groups, adjoining land and other general property matters. The objectives of the Master Plan are intended to reflect those matters that are important to the community, Council and other key stakeholders.

We would also like to thank the City of Whitehorse for their cooperation. Cover Photograph: Blackburn Lake Photographer: Manfred Lux, Freshwater Sciences, EPA Freshwater Sciences Environment Protection Authority 40 City Road Southbank Victoria 3006 Australia Printed on recycled paper Publication 679 © Environment Protection Authority, February 2000 ISBN 0 7306 7571 8 ii An Environmental Study of Blackburn Lake ABSTRACT Blackburn Lake is a small urban lake constructed on Gardiners Creek. This study was conducted in 1993 to gain a better understanding of the ecology of the lake and its level of contamination. The concentrations of nutrients, heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine insecticides were measured in the water, sediments and biota at several locations within the lake. In addition, an assessment of the invertebrate, zooplankton and phytoplankton communities was undertaken. The major problems identified in Blackburn Lake were: very low dissolved oxygen levels in the bottom waters; substantial petroleum hydrocarbon, copper, lead and zinc contamination of the sediments; and high levels of petroleum hydrocarbon in the yabbies. The invertebrate communities were typical of other urban waterbodies.
