Executive Summary Edwardes Lake is located in Reservoir contained within the 26 hectare Edwardes Lake Park. The park attracts over 135,000 visitors a year for a variety of recreational and social purposes. It is an important habitat for birds and other wildlife. A large stormwater catchment feeds directly into Edwardes Lake and indirectly through upstream Edgars Creek. Increased levels of water pollution in the lake have resulted in a decline in water quality and hence changed usage over time. Originally the lake was used for water activities including rowing, sailing, swimming and fishing. These activities are no longer able to be enjoyed at the lake. As part of the Edwardes Lake Masterplan, Darebin City Council (DCC), Melbourne Water (MW) and the Victorian Stormwater Action Fund have funded major capital works at the lake since 2002 aimed at addressing its environmental problems. However, physical works are only one part of the solution and the Edwardes Lake, Our Lake Neighbourhood Environment Improvement Plan (NEIP) is focused on engaging the community in the task of creating a more sustainable Edwardes Lake. The NEIP brings together the community of people and organisations who live in, work in and visit Edwardes Lake and its surrounding neighbourhood. The NEIP sets out a 3 year plan of action for improving the environmental sustainability of the Edwardes Lake Neighbourhood. The motivating vision is that in the long term we would like Edwardes Lake to be safe to swim and fish in. In order to achieve this vision, the NEIP has the following objectives and 3-year targets: • Improve water quality within Edwardes Lake – the most significant issue within the lake, including, - sediment and suspended solids levels reduced from 2005 levels; - nutrient levels reduced from 2005 levels; - number and severity of pollutant spills reduced from 2005 levels; - number and severity of botulism outbreaks reduced from 2005 levels; • Reduce litter within Edwardes Lake Park – weight of litter reduced from 2005 levels; • Improve amenity of Edwardes Lake Park – visitation numbers increased from 2005 levels; • Improve biodiversity within the Edwardes Lake Neighbourhood – relative to 2005 levels, an increased number of native species and an increased number of individuals within each species of birds, other animals, aquatic life and plants; • Improved community awareness and participation in the environmental issues of the Edwardes Lake Neighbourhood – numbers of people participating in Edwardes Lake NEIP related activities increased from 2005 levels. The NEIP proposes a range of new actions to be implemented in order to achieve these objectives and targets. And a range of existing or ongoing actions have been identified that also contribute to these objectives and targets. These actions are outlined in Section 11 of the NEIP. A working group, made up of representatives from various community groups, businesses, relevant state government agencies, local government and other community members, has developed the NEIP over a number of years. There have been a number of events and communications that have encouraged broad community engagement including membership of the working group and this draft of the NEIP document has been made available for community consultation. After incorporating feedback, the NEIP will then be ‘signed-off’ by NEIP partners and submitted to the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) for approval and gazettal. This process commits working group members to implement the actions contained herein over the next 3 years. There will be regular monitoring and evaluation of progress towards objectives and targets. And at the end of this implementation time, the NEIP will be formally reviewed. Page 3 Edwardes Lake, Our Lake NEIP 2.

What is a Neighbourhood Environment Improvement Plan (NEIP or plan)? NEIPs were introduced into the Environment Protection Act 1970 in 2001. A NEIP is intended to enable sustained environmental improvements at a local community scale by developing an approach agreed to by the local residents, businesses and government that clearly defines roles and responsibilities, actions and timelines. A NEIP may provide a wide-ranging program of environmental improvements that reflects community priorities and aspirations, and promotes the understanding and ownership of these improvements. The basic requirements for a NEIP are for an open and public process to: • Bring together community members and establish environmental concerns; • Develop and obtain endorsement from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) of a NEIP proposal in accordance with the guidelines; • Develop a NEIP with agreed actions and timelines for improvements in the neighbourhood; • Gain EPA approval and Gazettal of the final plan that reflects the commitment of all participants in the NEIP; and • Provide for the regular review and updating of the NEIP. The NEIP sets out agreed actions and timelines for improvements within the neighbourhood. 5. A definition of the neighbourhood Edwardes Lake Edwardes Lake is a constructed lake that is located in Reservoir. It is one of the largest lakes in metropolitan Melbourne, with a capacity of approximately 85 million litres and an area of 6.3 hectares. The first mud-brick weirs were constructed in the late 1800s to enable rowing and boating at the lake. In 1914 Thomas Dyer Edwardes donated 34 acres of land to Preston Council for a park. In 1919, returned service men constructed a permanent concrete weir on Edgars Creek. Edwardes Lake Park was officially opened in 1920 and now spreads across a 26 hectare area. The park is a highly valued resource for the community and attracts over 135 000 visitors a year. Peak usage occurs during the Darebin Festival, which attracts a crowd of many thousands. Other park users include senior citizens groups, sporting clubs, environmental groups, local schools, scouts and guides and a range of other specific interest groups and informal users who use the park for gatherings and social functions. Park users consist of local residents and a larger population who often travel a considerable distance to use the Park facilities. Increased levels of water pollution in the lake have resulted in a decline in water quality and hence changed usage over time. Originally the lake was used for water activities including rowing, sailing, swimming and fishing. These activities are no longer able to be enjoyed at the lake. The lake has also been an important place for birds and other wildlife. The recent infrastructure works undertaken by the Darebin City Council (DCC), with funding from Melbourne Water and the EPA,
