Bulgana Wind Farm Pty Ltd commissioned this HHA. All historic archaeological sites are protected under the Heritage Act 1995 and extant historic places may require consideration for inclusion on the Northern Grampians Shire Planning Scheme Heritage Overlay under the Planning and Environment Act 1987. This assessment addresses both historic extant and archaeological sites in accordance with statutory requirements. The site of the proposed Bulgana Wind farm covers approximately 7,524 hectares of private and public land located within the Bulgana, Joel Joel, South Joel, Congongella and Great Western districts, in central western Victoria. It lies approximately 11.7 kilometres north of Ararat, at its southern extent, and 11.2 kilometres east of Stawell, at its north-west extent. Great Western is the nearest significant sized settlement approximately two kilometres to the south-west of the site. The proposed Bulgana Wind Farm comprises a maximum of 67 wind turbines and associated permanent and temporary infrastructure. Permanent infrastructure will include: • Approximately 53 km of site access tracks, • Creation and improvement of up to 9 access points from public roads, • Permanent anemometry masts, • Approximately 47 km of underground cabling, • Approximately 11.4 km of overhead wires, • A collector substation and connection of underground cables to overhead line, • A terminal substation and connection to the existing SP Ausnet 220kV high voltage transmission line located at the northern end of the site. Temporary infrastructure will include construction compounds, turbine component lay down areas, and a concrete batching plant/s. The need for and location of borrow pits and dams for use during construction and for fire fighting purposes are also being considered. It is the intention of the proponent to only seek consent for these items after planning permit approval is given for the wind farm, at which stage more detailed geotechnical assessments and construction planning will be undertaken. The following individuals and organisations were consulted during this assessment: • Australian Heritage Database (AHD accessed 11 July 2013) • Victorian Heritage Database (VHD accessed 11 July 2013) • Northern Grampians Shire Planning Scheme Heritage Overlay (NGSPS accessed 11 July 2013) • Northern Grampians Shire Planning Department (phone 14.8.2014) • Stawell Historical Society (email 14.8.2014) iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DESKTOP ASSESSMENT (SECTION 2) The desktop assessment reviewed the geology, landform and climate (Section 2.1.1); vegetation and fauna (Section 2.1.2), historical background (Section 2.2); existing site registrations, reports and published works (Section 2.3.1); heritage registers (Section 2.3.2). The relevant evidence is used to produce a site prediction model for the Activity Area (Section 2.3.3). The model predicted the most likely place-types in the Activity Area (see Table 4) and the areas in which they may occur (Map 4). Desktop Assessment Historic Heritage Sensitivity Model (Table 4) Period Places & Location Sensitivity Pastoral Era Homesteads, staff quarters & outbuildings Likely th (mid 19 century) Shepherds huts & stockyards Likely Early Selection & Freehold Houses & sheds (close to roads), farming Likely (mid to late 19th century infrastructure (entire study area) Closer Settlement Houses & sheds (close to roads), farming Likely (late 19th century to 1950s) infrastructure (entire study area) The desktop assessment has demonstrated that: 1. There are no registered historic places within the Activity Area. 2. The Activity Area has not been subject to previous ground surface survey. 3. It is reasonably possible that historic heritage places are present in the Activity Area. 4. There is potential for the project to impact unknown historic heritage places. 5. The most likely site types for the Activity Area are structural features and archaeological deposits associated with pastoral occupation dating from the mid 1800s (rare) to later land sales post 1880s (common). LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS (SECTION 3) The legislative requirements for historic heritage at the local, state and federal government levels were presented. MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS (SECTION 4) Recommendation 1 Survey to be Conducted A survey should be conducted to identify and record, if present, any historic heritage that is likely to be impacted by the wind farm. The survey should be conducted by a suitably qualified archaeologist. iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY iii 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 Principle Reason for the Work 1 1.2 Name of the Commissioning Agency 1 1.3 Aims and Objectives of the Study 1 1.4 Individuals and Organisations Undertaking the Study 1 1.5 Individuals and Organisations Consulted during the Study 1 1.6 Date and Location of the Survey 1 1.7 Location of the Activity Area 2 1.8 Description of the Activity Area 2 1.9 Owners and Occupiers 2 1.10 Project Description 3 2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION – DESKTOP ASSESSMENT 6 2.1 Environmental Background 6 2.1.1 Geology, Landform & Climate 6 2.1.2 Vegetation and Fauna 9 2.2 Historical Background 9 2.3 Archaeological Background 24 2.3.1 Previous Archaeological and Heritage Studies 24 2.3.2 Heritage Registers 25 2.3.3 Site Prediction Model 26 2.4 Conclusions 27 4 LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS 29 5 MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS 32 APPENDICES 1 HV Notice, Cadastre & Landowners 33 2 Glossary 36 3 Summary CVs 38 REFERENCES 41 TABLES IN TEXT 1 Registered Historic Places within 1.5km of the Activity Area 26 2 Desktop Assessment Historic Heritage Sensitivity Model 26 MAPS IN TEXT 1 Activity Area Location 4 2 Activity Area Concept Plan 5 3 Activity Area Geology 8 4 Predicted Areas of Historic Cultural Heritage Sensitivity 28 v FIGURES IN TEXT 1 Squatting Runs 12 2 Runs on the Wimmera River & Its Tributaries 13 3 Allanvale Run 14 4 Allanvale Pre-Emptive Right 15 5 Concongella Run 16 6 Six Mile Creek Run 17 7 Parish of Watta Wella 20 8 Parish of Joel Joel 21 9 Parish of Concongella 22 10 Parish of Bulgana 23 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Archaeology At Tardis Pty Ltd would like to thank the following people for their assistance: Alastair Smith, Rhiannon Olle, Patrick Wallace – Wind Prospect Pty Ltd Brett Thomas – SABBLE All landowners Maddison Miller – Heritage Victoria ABBREVIATIONS AAT Archaeology at Tardis Pty Ltd AHD Australian Heritage Database asl Meters Above Sea Level BP Years Before Present (1950) dGPS Differential Global Positioning System DTPLI Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure DSE Department of Sustainability and Environment HV Heritage Victoria Ka Thousand years ago LGM Last Glacial Maximum LV Land Victoria Ma Million years ago PGC Primary Grid Coordinate SLV State Library of Victoria VHD Victorian Heritage Database VHI Victorian Heritage Inventory VHR Victorian Heritage Register *Throughout this report several technical terms are used that may not be familiar to some readers.

Source: L. Jacka Environmental Indicators Weather Rainfall December 2006 had below average rainfall across the state with parts of the south west and east of the state receiving well below average rainfall. A significant area of the north east had the driest December on record (Figure 1). 2006 was a very dry year in south east Australia, with a number of places receiving record low annual totals and a number of other places receiving less than half their usual rainfall. The year will be remembered for being the 10 th consecutive year with below normal rainfall. It was the third driest year on record for Victoria. This is in marked contrast to the north and west of Australia where rainfall was well above average. In January 2007 the west of the state received above average totals while the east of the state was below average (Figure 2). Most of the rain fell between the 19 th and the 22 nd . The highest rainfall total recorded for the month was Casterton Showgrounds with 172 mm. DSC Report 1 Figure 1.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.

Thest; were published in the report entitled Reforming Victoria's Water Industry: a Competitive Future - Water. In that report the Government stated its intention to form three "health and_environment" related working groups, namely • rural drinking water quality; • effluent standards; and • litter in waterways. These working groups were subsequently formed and this report summarises the findings of the working group on rural drinking water quality. A more detailed report containing all of the monitoring results for the individual supplies is being prepared for wide public distribution. While this summary report shows that many supplies still fail to meet the guidelines for bacteriological quality, there does not appear to be any great groundswell of public opinion demanding better bacteriological quality. This is not surprising when one considers that bacteriological contamination is invisible, without any tell-tale smell or taste. Unless the water is tested and the results are published, people have no way of telling if the water they are· receiving is safe to drink. The information in this report, therefore, should provide .a useful benchmark for measuring the performance of water authorities in the critically important area of drinking water quality.
