A requirement of the contract is that BHFL obtain an Environmental Audit under Section 57AA of the Environment Protection Act in order to demonstrate that the land is suitable, in an environmental sense, for its intended end use. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The site is located in former rail yards in an area situated between Footscray Road and Spencer Street Station as shown in Figure 1. The boundary of the site for audit purposes is the current lease boundary running outside the structure wall as shown in Figure 2. The boundary is likely to be brought in to the outside wall of the Stadium to allow maximum space for other developers within the precinct’. The site covers a total area of approximately 4.5 hectares with boundaries as shown in Figure 2. 2.1 Site History A requirement of the general Docklands Environmental Management Plan is that an archaeological investigation be carried out as part of the development of all areas of the Docklands. BHFL commissioned Mr. Gary Vines of the Living Museum of the West to carry out such a study. The program included: 0 background study of the history of the area; 0 a watching brief during initial earthworks on the site; and 0 the preparation of an archaeological assessment report. The report makes interesting reading and it helps explain the ground conditions encountered during the excavation of the site. The report has been included as Appendix A. The land on which the Stadium is being constructed is part of a large reclaimed area to the West of the City. The land was reclaimed starting in the mid 1800’s by filling with a variety of materials including silt dredged from the harbour, industrial waste and construction rubble. Very little archaeological evidence was found during the

Gold discoveries in the early 1870s stimulated the development of Foster, initially known as Stockyard Creek.

  • A Boggy Question Differing Views of Wetlands in 19Th Century Melbourne
    UHPH_14: Landscapes and ecologies of urban and planning history | 617 A Boggy Question Differing views of wetlands in 19th century Melbourne Gary Presland University of Melbourne [email protected] The site of European settlement in the Port Phillip region was a place of many swamps. For the Indigenous population these features were essential to their way of life, for the wide diversity of foodstuffs and raw materials they provided. They were the main support for the meetings of large numbers of the Kulin nation that occurred regularly around the top of the Bay. As the immigrant population of Melbourne increased so too were the indigenes excluded from their customary haunts, and were thus eventually unable to maintain their traditional ways. The immigrant settlers viewed the swamps in a different light: they were a source of disease, and of such little regard they could be used as dumping grounds. As Melbourne grew and the need to improve commercial facilities increased, these areas were progressively transformed into a range of other, more culturally useful forms. The ways in which these wetlands played a part in the histories of both Indigenous and settler populations are examined. Keywords: wetlands, swamps, Eastern Kulin, Melbourne Introduction Swamps or wetlands—whatever term one applies,1 terrestrial features that comprise more or less permanent, but relatively shallow, water—have had an interesting conceptual place in western cultures. Perhaps this is because, unlike other parts of the landscape, they did not fit easily into the natural classification of environment as either land or water (Giblett 1996). Wetlands could not be farmed or built upon; but neither could they be put to the same uses as rivers, lakes or the ocean.

Queens Bridge Street (originally called Moray Street North, along with City Road, provided the main access into South and Port Melbourne from the city when the only bridges available for foot and wheel traffic were the Princes the Falls bridges. The Kearney map of 1855 shows land north of City Road (then Sandridge Road) as poorly-drained and avoided on account of its flood-prone nature. To the immediate south was Emerald Hill. The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road. By the time of Commander Cox’s 1866 map, some industrial premises were located on the Yarra River bank and walking tracks connected them with the Sandridge Road and Emerald Hill.

  • Proposal to Vary Registration of Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural
    STATEMENT OF BASIS ON WHICH THE VICTORIAN ABORIGINAL HERITAGE COUNCIL CONSIDERS IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO VARY THE REGISTRATION AREA OF WURUNDJERI WOI WURRUNG CULTURAL HERITAGE ABORIGINAL CORPORATION DATE OF PROPOSAL: 7 June 2021 1 Council’s View The Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council (Council) has formed the view that it would be appropriate to exercise its power pursuant to section 155 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (Act) to vary the registration area of Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation (WWW). The variation Council considers appropriate relates to some, but not all, of an extension of its registration area sought by WWW.1 2 Procedural Background of Proposal The following section provides a summary of the procedural steps leading to Council’s eventual substantive consideration of whether to exercise its power to vary the area of the WWW’s RAP application area. Council received a written request to vary the registration boundary from WWW in August 2020. It is to this request that this proposal relates. However, the procedural background to consideration of this request involves earlier discussions between WWW and Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (BLCAC) regarding their respective registration boundaries. It is therefore useful to commence by setting out the procedural background also to the BLCAC registration boundary variation request. In 2017 BLCAC applied to Council for appointment as a registered Aboriginal party (RAP) under s 150 of the Act. Council acknowledged receipt of BLCAC’s RAP application on 24 February 2017. BLCAC’s RAP application was determined for part of the area it applied for on 19 July 2017.
