  • YARRA VALLEY WATER's NITROGEN MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Maarten De Beurs Yarra Valley Water
    YARRA VALLEY WATER’S NITROGEN MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Paper Presented by: Maarten De Beurs Authors: Maarten De Beurs, Environmental Scientist, Sabina Fahrner, Planning Engineer, Yarra Valley Water 73rd Annual Water Industry Engineers and Operators’ Conference Bendigo Exhibition Centre 31 August to 2 September, 2010 73rd Annual Victorian Water Industry Engineers & Operators Conference Page No. 53 Exhibition Centre – Bendigo, 31 August to 2 September, 2010 YARRA VALLEY WATER’S NITROGEN MANAGEMENT STRATEGY Maarten De Beurs, Environmental Scientist, Yarra Valley Water Sabina Fahrner, Planning Engineer, Yarra Valley Water ABSTRACT Nitrogen in Port Phillip Bay needs to be managed in the long term to ensure the environmental sustainability of the bay (Port Phillip Bay Environmental Study, CSIRO, 1996). To address this issue Yarra Valley Water (YVW) has developed a self imposed cap of 87t of TN (Total Nitrogen) for discharges that contribute to the load received by the bay. To ensure continued compliance with the cap a number of nitrogen reduction projects have been identified and assessed on a $Net Present Cost ($NPC) per kilogram of nitrogen removed basis. Comparing these projects against other stakeholder’s potential nitrogen reduction projects indicates that YVW’s projects are financially competitive and will remove more nitrogen. YVW therefore sees the potential for surplus projects to be made available to other stakeholders to assist with Lowest Community Cost management of nitrogen loads to the Bay. In order to achieve this YVW has been consulting with both EPA and Melbourne Water on the potential development of an environmental offsetting framework. This paper focuses on the nitrogen reduction projects identified and how they may be implemented in the context of either an internal or external offsetting framework with stakeholders such as the EPA and Melbourne Water.

  • Draft Yarra Strategic Plan
    PART 2 LAND USE FRAMEWORK Draft Yarra Strategic Plan Part 2 63 The Yarra River at the centre of planning LAND USE The Yarra Strategic Plan provides a regional framework for land use planning and decision-making on both public and freehold private land at a local level. The framework complements the FRAMEWORK collaborative actions set out in Part 1 by ensuring all activities within the corridor align with the performance objectives in the next 10 years. Purpose of the land use framework The land use framework sets out the spatial directions for the Yarra Strategic Plan, as required by Sections 20 and 21 of the Yarra River Protection (Wilip-gin Birrarung murron) Act 2017 (the Act). To deliver on the intent of the Act, while also reflecting the unique characteristics of the Yarra River, the land use framework provides direction at a whole-of-river scale and within each of the four reaches. Preparation of the land use framework has drawn from the many existing studies, strategies and projects occurring within the corridor. The framework aims to strengthen and coordinate existing work and fill gaps where required. Relevant responsible public entities will align their business-as-usual activities to the recommendations of the land use framework in order to deliver outcomes for the Yarra Strategic Plan. Application of the land use framework Once the Yarra Strategic Plan is finalised, Clause 12.03-1R ‘Yarra River Protection’ of the Planning Policy Framework found in the Victoria Planning Provisions will be updated, and the final Yarra Strategic Plan will be referenced or incorporated in planning schemes.
