  • Recreational Activity Surveys During COVID-19 and Comparison with Pre-Lockdown Activity Levels
    More people out on bicycles: Recreational activity surveys during COVID-19 and comparison with pre-lockdown activity levels May 2020 Measuring recreational activity in unprecedented times Lockdown in Victoria On 30 March 2020, the Minister for Health and Medical Research signed an Order for stage 3 lockdown measures to be put in place across Australian states, following a national outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The Order, which in Victoria falls under section 200 of the Public Health and Wellbeing Act (2008)1, 2, places legally enforceable restrictions on all non-essential gatherings, as a means of minimising the spread of the deadly virus. During the stage 3 restrictions, there are only four reasons for Victorian residents to be outside: • purchasing food and essential supplies; • medical, care or compassionate needs; • exercise; and • work and study if they cannot be undertaken remotely2. How has this affected our recreational activities? An arising question is how these restrictions have affected the recreational needs of residents in Victoria and elsewhere. A recent survey by Bicycle Network3 found that, in response to stage 3 restrictions across Australian states: • 73 per cent [of respondents] are planning to use a bicycle to access essential services (shops, healthcare, work and education) in the coming weeks and months; • 84 per cent of healthcare workers said they would ride bicycles more or the same amount; and • Most respondents (39 per cent) said that they will be riding a bicycle outdoors to get their daily exercise. In addition, emerging data suggests an increase in bicycle purchases during lockdown restrictions4. These findings suggest that, given these increased needs for bicycle-related transport, exercise and recreation; Australian roads and shared paths may be exhibiting major deviations from normal bicycle traffic volumes.

  • Community Vision 2040 Vision
    BrimbankCommunity Vision 2040 Vision: By 2040, the Brimbank community will be healthy and safe and we will be united through a sense of belonging and pride. Our city will be inclusive, resilient, innovative and vibrant and our people will share equally in the City's prosperity and opportunity. The environment will be protected and enhanced and Brimbank’s diverse neighbourhoods and housing will offer something for everyone. 2 Mayor’s Foreword I am proud to introduce the Brimbank Community Vision 2040, which is a long term plan for Brimbank over the next two decades. It sets out a plan for the community, Council and partner organisations to work towards together. Like much of Melbourne’s West, Brimbank is growing and changing. The population is forecast to increase by 25,000 to 230,000 in 2040. In order to plan for additional people, we sought to find out how you hope Brimbank will change and how you hope it will remain the same in 2040. Since the election of the Council in November 2016, we have had many conversations with people about their hopes and dreams for Brimbank and these have formed the basis of the Brimbank Community Vision 2040. Our People: We have heard that you value the cultural diversity and vibrancy of Brimbank’s people and are proud of the Indigenous culture and industrial history of the area. We also heard some frustration that sometimes a negative image of the area obscures all the positive things about the community. There is optimism and excitement about how Brimbank is changing, but also a clear concern that everyone should be able to share in this growth and for noone to be left behind.

  • Nest Boxes Do Not Cause a Shift in Bat Community Composition in an Urbanised Landscape Stephen R
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Nest boxes do not cause a shift in bat community composition in an urbanised landscape Stephen R. Grifths 1*, Linda F. Lumsden2, Kylie A. Robert 1 & Pia E. Lentini 3 Nest boxes are often used to provide supplementary roosts for cavity-dependent wildlife, but little is known about if they infuence faunal community composition. Long-term monitoring of bat boxes in south-eastern Australia indicated that their use was dominated by one generalist species (Chalinolobus gouldii), causing concern that installing bat boxes could cause a shift toward less diverse bat communities. To test this, we conducted a large-scale before-after control-impact experiment at 18 sites, over fve years. Sites were either: (1) those with existing bat boxes, (2) those where boxes were added during the study, or (3) controls without boxes. We used echolocation call data from 9035 bat detector nights to compare community composition, diversity, and species’ relative activity between the sites. Chalinolobus gouldii continued to dominate the use of existing boxes, but we found little diference in community composition between sites based on the presence, absence, or addition of boxes. Our study is the frst to explore the infuence installing artifcial hollows has on localized faunal assemblages over spatio-temporal scales relevant to management. We conclude that there is cause for optimism that bat boxes might not have perverse outcomes on local community composition in the short- to medium-term, as we had feared. Tree hollows and cavities are keystone habitats used by a broad range of fauna for shelter and breeding1.
