100 Acres Reserve Melway Ref: 35 F9-F10 Suburb: Park Orchards Precinct: 100 Acres Catchment: Regional Major Functions: Flora/fauna, informal recreation Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Horse riding on Remnant vegetation (Biosite) Open drainages lines, perimeter horse trail dams and wetlands Dogs prohibited & dogs on lead Path network 100 Acres Reserve is 41 hectares (102 Acres) in size and classified as a Reserve of Regional significance, forming part of One Hundred Acres, Biosite 14. The western third of the Reserve is in an ecological condition that is rarely rivalled in the Melbourne Region, even in National Parks, and is considered very high priority in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. The Reserve is managed primarily for biodiversity conservation whilst also providing a range of recreation opportunities in a natural setting, including walking, jogging, dog walking, horse riding, cycling and nature appreciation. The 100 Acres Friends Group has significantly contributed to the ongoing management of the Reserve and has worked closely with Council's Bushland Crew over many years. A review of The 100 Acres Reserve Management Plan (1996) was completed in 2010 and actions to be implemented include continuing to improve the Reserve’s biodiversity, weed and pest control programs, protection of rare or threatened flora species, path upgrades, signage and changes to dog controls in high conservation areas. The main Reserve entrance is from Knees Road and located within Domeney Reserve. Other entrances are Arundel Road, Berringa Road, Wirth Road and three local streets to the north. Improved connection to the yet to be developed Yanggai Barring Linear Park to the north-east is a longer term action. Acheron Reserve Melway Ref: 47 B2 Suburb: Doncaster Precinct: Ruffey Catchment: Local Functions: Informal recreation, drainage Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Play equipment (small) Informal grassed area Dogs on lead Basketball goal Picnic table Acheron Reserve has a dual function for community recreation and drainage (with a drainage pit and an overland flow path). The Reserve measures 2,672m², is flat and provides informal recreation opportunities, with a basketball pad and play equipment (1-4 year olds). Play opportunities should remain small and continue to cater for the pre-school age group. A path connects Acheron Street to Ella Court. The area bounded by Doncaster Road, Elgar Road and the Eastern Freeway is generally well provided with play opportunities and basketball towers. Future development of Acheron Reserve should complement the opportunities offered at nearby Wilsons and Carawatha Reserves. There is the potential to improve the landscape amenity through additional canopy tree planting. Aintree Reserve Melway Ref: 48 D1 Suburb: Donvale Precinct: Zerbes Catchment: Local Functions: Informal recreation Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Play equipment (small) Informal grassed area Dogs on lead Although small (1293m²), Aintree Reserve is important in the provision of open space within the local area, given the current lack of quality open space north of Doncaster Road. The Reserve provides some seating and play opportunities for 2-8 year olds. Although there are poor pedestrian links to the Reserve, the playground is in the catchment of Donburn Primary School families. Scope of play will always be small but additional landscaping would improve accessibility and amenity of this currently uninspiring reserve. Aird Reserve Melway Ref: 24 F12 Suburb: Wonga Park Precinct: Wonga Park Catchment: Local Functions: Informal recreation, drainage Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Unstructured bush play Mature trees Dogs on lead This a large (5,212m²) single lot located at the end of Aird Court in a low density residential area, less than 200m south of Wonga Park Reserve. Roads in this area have very poor connectivity and as such pedestrian links are limited. There is a natural drainage line through the Reserve. Due to poor pedestrian accessibility, the surrounding low density development and the proximity of other more viable reserves, this is a very low priority site for further development. Additional canopy tree planting would add to the amenity of the Reserve. Akoonah Reserve Melway Ref: 34 G10 Suburb: Donvale Precinct: The Pines Catchment: Local Functions: Pedestrian link, drainage Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Informal grassed area Dogs on lead The primary function of this reserve is for drainage, as it contains a Melbourne Water main drain. The Reserve also provides a connection between Serpells Terrace and Valepark Drive, which in turn, connects Allara Reserve with Valepark Reserve. This Reserve is a low priority for development. A footpath connection may be useful for local residents. There is limited potential for landscaping. Alan Morton Reserve Melway Ref: 35 C12 Suburb: Park Orchards Precinct: 100 Acres Catchment: District Functions: Flora/fauna, linear park, drainage Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Shared path Remnant vegetation (Biosite) Dogs on lead Open drainage line and wetland Principal pedestrian network Alan Morton Reserve is a linear reserves along a natural drainage line that runs alongside Park Road. It aids the pedestrian links to the Park Orchards centre from the south. The Reserve is located within the Rainbow Valley Road, Biosite 20 and is considered a very high priority in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. The Alan Morton Reserve Concept Plan was developed in 1995 and works since implemented include a wetland system to filter storm water runoff. As part of the Park Road upgrade in 2011, a shared path was constructed through the Reserve from Kebun Court to Enfield Avenue, as Park Road was too difficult to widen for this purpose. The Friends of Alan Morton Reserve Group is still active and holds regular working bees that include planting, weed management and mulching. Further works required to the Reserve include seating, signage and staged removal of pine trees. Albany Reserve Melway Ref: 34 D9 Suburb: Doncaster East Precinct: The Pines Catchment: Local Functions: Informal recreation, pedestrian link Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Play equipment (small) Informal grassed area Path network Picnic table Dogs on lead Albany Reserve provides a link from Albany Way to Refuge Place, which in turn provides access to bus stops and shared pathways on both Blackburn and Andersons Creek Roads. Albany Reserve has a playspace which was installed in 2008 catering for 1-8 years. The area is well serviced by play opportunities and is not in the catchment of a primary or pre- school. Accessibility is good, with a sealed pathway, and shade has been considered. Apart from additional planting this Reserve is not a priority for further development. Alexander Reserve Melway Ref: 22 H12 Suburb: Warrandyte Precinct: Currawong Catchment: Local Functions: Flora/fauna, drainage Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Remnant vegetation (Biosite) Dogs off lead Alexander Reserve is 6,186m² and located in the Naughton Avenue, Biosite 15 in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. Its main functions are the conservation of remnant indigenous vegetation and drainage. The adjoining area is low density residential and rural conservation and Warrandyte State Park is also nearby. The sewerage backlog program is proposing a sewerage main and small pump station within the Reserve. There is limited potential for recreation provision due to lack of links to the local community and its location within low density residential development. Definition of the Reserve boundaries, signage and some revegetation will enhance the Reserve. Allara Reserve Melway Ref: 34 G9 Suburb: Donvale Precinct: The Pines Catchment: Local Functions: Informal recreation Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Play equipment (small) Informal grassed area Dogs on lead Path network Allara Reserve provides access between The Elms, Allara Court and Serpells Terrace and is in close proximity to two primary schools. The playspace was upgraded in 2002 and caters for 2-8 year olds. Given its steep topography, catering for 3+ year olds should be considered when upgrading. However, as the area is well provided with play and informal recreation opportunities, the playspace should remain small. The steep embankment on Serpells Terrace was improved in recent years through construction of a retaining wall and landscaping. The Reserve would benefit from additional canopy tree planting in the open areas and further boundary landscaping. Aloha Reserve Melway Ref: 34 A6 Suburb: Templestowe Precinct: Green Gully Catchment: Local Functions: Flora/fauna, drainage Recreation Facilities Vegetation Other Elements Remnant vegetation (Biosite) Dogs off lead Informal grassed area Aloha Reserve comprises most of the Urban Miscellaneous (Reynolds Road), Biosite 35 in Council’s Healthy Habitats Bushland Management Strategy 2012. The large local park (0.75 ha) runs along a drainage line and is well established with mature, remnant vegetation. The Reserve connects Reynolds Road to Aloha Gardens but due to lack of footpaths, or bus stops, along this section of Reynolds Road, there is little pedestrian traffic through the Reserve. This steep site should be managed primarily as a conservation site. Consideration could be given to seating. Anderson Park Melway Ref: 34 E7 Suburb: Doncaster East Precinct: The

This may include rainwater, stormwater, creek/river water and recycled water. Blackwater: Sewage or water discharged from toilets and kitchen sinks. Catchment: An area that drains to a given point, typically drainage is dictated by topography but may be modified by man-made structures including drains and canals. Desalinated Water: Potable water that is produced by removing salt and other minerals from seawater or brackish water. Directly connected impervious (DCI): the proportion of the impervious surface of a catchment that is directly connected to a stream through a conventional drainage connection. It is an established indicator of the likely degradation of ecological health in urban waterways due to stormwater. Evapotranspiration: The combined processes of evaporation (i.e. the transfer of water from the land to the atmosphere) and transpiration (i.e. the transfer of water from plants to the atmosphere). Green Roofs: Green roofs consist of a growing medium, typically soil, and vegetation placed on a roof surface. The vegetation and soil soak up rainfall and in the process reduce runoff and pollutants entering the stormwater drainage network. Green roofs may be extensive (i.e. thin growing media that only support small plants) or intensive (i.e. deep growing media that supports large shrubs and even trees). Green Walls: A wall that is partially or completely covered with vegetation, this vegetation is supported by a growing medium such as soil.

CONCLUSION 22 REFERENCES 23 APPENDIX – SUMMARY OF FAUNA OBSERVATIONS 25 Executive Summary Recommendation A75 of Manningham City Council’s Green Wedge Strategy was to conduct a study into the location and effectiveness of existing habitat corridors and the opportunities for improving mobility of wildlife across the Manningham landscape. We conducted this study in 2006-8 and expanded it to include an investigation of the mobility of fauna in areas other than corridors. This document reports the outcomes of the project and its relevance to Council. A literature survey found that most quantitative demonstrations of the usage of corridors by wildlife anywhere in the world have involved costly and demanding methods beyond Council’s resources, such as genetic analyses and radio tracking. New methods of fieldwork were therefore developed for our project, taking advantage of what has been learned by previous studies of wildlife movements.

    INTRODUCTION My Name Is Julie Pryor. I Have Held a Wildlife Shelter Permit in Victoria for Over 20 Years. My Permit Is Held With

    INTRODUCTION My name is Julie Pryor. I have held a Wildlife Shelter Permit in Victoria for over 20 years. My Permit is held with the Department of Sustainability and Environment. My Permit number is SP/031199. My Shelter at Wonga Park has been Koala only for the past 15 years. This inquiry is very much needed as Ifeel the Koalas are in deep trouble and if something is not done soon we will be only able to see koalas in books. Ihope my submission will show the inquiry my concerns. Over the last 15 years I have watched the Warrandyte and surrounding areas koala populations decline. The area we rescue koalas is Doncaster, Warrandyte, Wonga Park, Ringwood, Mitcham, Warranwood, Park Orchards, Donvale, Doncaster East, Blackburn and any where in between. We have had a lot of koalas corne into care. The majority have not come back to the shelter. We rescue the animal and take them to the Vet. to be Euthanased. I have taken koalas to several Vets. over the years and the outcome is always the same. We noticed over 10 years ago the females were corning in withoutjoeys and they looked like they had never had a joey. This was telling us we were losing the population. Koalas live for 10 to 12 years, in my area they have stopped breeding, over 10 years ago, they will not be here much longer, koalas corning into care now are very old. Residents of these areas are telling me they don't see koalas anymore. I have heard this from many other carers in many other areas of Victoria.
