Acknowledgements Data compilation: GHD Editor: Ann White Foreword The challenge of the thirteenth straight year of drought was dramatically highlighted in the Victorian Water Accounts 2008-2009. The year started with water supplies and inflows at extremely low levels and it ended with storages in a worse situation: the total volume stored in Victoria’s major rural reservoirs fell from 22 per cent of capacity at the start of the year to only 17 per cent. In addition, the worst bushfires in a century directly affected water supplies in several towns and damaged a third of Melbourne’s catchments, fortunately without threatening the city’s two major storages. All irrigation systems in northern Victoria started the year with a zero allocation for the second successive year; 366 towns were on some form of restricted water use; several small towns were experiencing extreme water shortages; and groundwater resources were under pressure. To manage these challenges, the Victorian Government worked closely with water businesses, progressing water augmentations across the state and facilitating emergency response measures when required. Lessons learned through managing scarce water resources since 2006/07 were applied. Various responses were developed, including water restrictions in urban areas, seasonal allocations of surface water and groundwater in regulated systems; restrictions, rosters and bans on users in unregulated systems; operating the emergency water supply network; augmenting water supply systems; water carting; and qualifying rights to water. This responsiveness and flexibility were among several positives to emerge from this difficult year of continuing low flows. Apart from capably managing scarce water resources, the water industry saw the benefits start emerging from Our Water Our Future: The Next Stage of the Government’s Water Plan. The first pipeline project completed under the Victorian Water Plan – the Goldfields Superpipe supplying water from the Goulburn system to Bendigo and Ballarat – provided a reliable supply of water to the drought-affected cities. The reconnected Tarago Reservoir increased the water supply available to Melbourne. These projects were among many initiatives implemented under the Victorian Water Plan, which aims to secure future water supplies through augmentation such as the desalination plant and Tarago reconnection, water saving projects such as irrigation modernisation and the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline, increased recycling, expanding the water grid and conservation. This report includes an update on the plan. I commend this report as an important account of water availability, entitlement, use and related water resource management measures in 2008/09.

  • Local Context and Site Description

    Local Context and Site Description

    LOCAL CONTEXT AND SITE DESCRIPTION Metropolitan and Regional Context The Greenvale Central Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) area is located approximately 20 kilometres north of the Melbourne CBD, within the Hume Growth Area shown on Plan 1. Melbourne‟s Hume Growth Area generally extends north from Somerton Road (west of Sydney-Melbourne rail line) to Gunns Gully Road at Merrifield. It includes parts of the suburbs of Greenvale and Craigieburn and the localities of Donnybrook, Kalkallo and Beveridge. The Hume Growth Area, along with the Mitchell and Whittlesea Growth Areas, make up the Melbourne North Growth Corridor. The Melbourne North Growth Corridor Plan details the strategic direction for future urban development within this region. The corridor is characterised by strong population growth occurring on various fronts. The population base is projected to increase from its current level of around 170,000 residents to over 220,000 people and has the capacity to provide for at least 68,000 jobs. The North Growth Corridor Plan provides an opportunity to establish new communities to assist in meeting Melbourne‟s urban growth needs over the next 30 years. The plan ensures that the following existing key roles and features are maintained within the Hume Growth Area: A strategic transport corridor of state and national significance; A gateway to Melbourne for interstate and international visitors; Large areas for future employment and industrial development; Highly self-contained working population (with approximately 50% of Hume‟s workforce employed within the municipality); Significant water catchments, creek corridors, remnant vegetation and stone resources on its east and west boundaries; and Important landscape features and biodiversity assets including grasslands and grassy woodlands.
