Appendix 4 Public Comment Summary 35 PLAN OVERVIEW Lake Monger Reserve is a conservation wetland and an important habitat and permanent drought refuge for a range of fauna. it is a regionally significant recreation reserve and is registered as an Aboriginal heritage site of historic and mythological significance. The Lake Monger Management Plan 1993-1998 Part 1 - Background and Part 2 - Plan for Management were written and released in November 1992 by the City of Perth. In accordance with the recommendations made in these reports and the Lake Monger Rehabilitation Plan 1995 the Town of Cambridge has undertaken numerous works involving the rehabilitation of the lake and upgrading of lake facilities. Revision of these management plans along with other council documents, community consultation and Aboriginal Heritage consultation has resulted in this Lake Monger Reserve Management Plan 2008-2018. The plan identifies the remaining works from previous plans as well as highlighting major initiatives to be undertaken over the next ten years. The plan was prepared after extensive consultation with users, nearby residents, the broader community and indigenous people for whom the reserve is culturally significant, see appendix one and two. Initiatives will be undertaken in accordance with the principles embodied in the Town’s vision for the reserve. The vision: “For Lake Monger Reserve to be recognised as a Conservation Wetland and a significant recreational facility enjoyed and managed with the community.” The long-term goal: “To establish an ecologically sustainable system within Lake Monger Reserve, ensuring its long term viability; and to continue the Reserve’s positive contribution to the quality of life of those who live in and are visitors to the area. Progress over the past ten years, objectives, strategies and priorities for the next ten years are identified under the following management categories; • Lake and Stormwater • Fauna Habitat • Ecological Restoration • Trees and Turf • Risk Management • Visitation and Recreation • Planning and Community Liaison • Information, Interpretation and Education • Cultural Heritage Community involvement including Aboriginal Heritage consultation played a key role in preparation of the plan and will be a significant factor in its implemenation. Refer to the map on page 22 for an overview of proposed works for Lake Monger Reserve from 2008-2018.

It consists of a lake (71ha) and is surrounded by a mixture of open parkland and scattered trees on the north, south and west sides and thickets of rehabilitated native vegetation on the east side (38ha). Despite the reserve’s modified state, the lake is still an important habitat and permanent drought refuge for a range of fauna, in particular the birdlife. The number and variety of waterbirds found at Lake Monger Reserve is one of its greatest attractions, particularly its usage by the black swan, whose numbers can reach the hundreds. It is also a regionally significant recreation reserve and is registered as an Aboriginal Heritage site of historic and mythological significance. Children punting and canoeing on Lake Monger, 1914 (courtesy of Battye Library-BA 1104/12, 000474D) LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS The Town of Cambridge as the managing Authority must comply with all relevant legislation applicable to Lake Monger Reserve. Environmental Protection (Swan Coastal Plain Lakes) Policy 1992 Lake Monger Reserve is a Conservation Category wetland and is protected under the Environmental Protection (Swan Coastal Plain Lakes) Policy 1992 (the Lakes EPP) which provides statutory protection for the Swan Coastal Plain Lakes from filling, draining, mining and effluent discharge. The wooded shores of Lake Monger, 1914 (courtesy of Battye Library-BA 1104/15, 000477D) Lake Monger Reserve has a dual history, both Aboriginal and European. Before European settlement the lake and its surrounds were an Aboriginal camping and hunting ground, important for its food resources and mythological significance. After the Europeans arrived the area was greatly modified and valued more for its recreational and aesthetic qualities. The indigenous people of the area called Lake Monger, Lake Galup. After European settlement, it became known as either Large Lake or Triangle Lake (based on its roughly triangular shape) before being named Monger’s Lake in 1831. In April 1932 it was changed to its current name of Lake Monger. Community involvement and opinion have been identified as priorities for this plan due to the popularity and usage of the Viewing platform at the northern end of Lake Monger Reserve Reserve by the public. Planning needs to be flexible to best manage unforseen events and to provide interim solutions while longer-term plans are being developed. Resources will be allocated to the highest priority activities. 2 Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 A total of four significant Aboriginal Heritage sites are recorded with the Department of Indigenous Affairs on Lake Monger Reserve (site IDs; 3160, 3318, 3323, 3788) (Department of Indigenous Affairs 2008) and is therefore under the protection of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972, which protects all Aboriginal sites in Western Australia. Being a registered site under this Act means that any development on the Reserve and the lake that may disturb the site, must be referred to the Department of Indigenous Affairs. Contaminated Sites Act 2003 Due to the historical use of the Reserve as a refuse site possible contamination of the soil and groundwater has become an issue. The Contaminated Sites Act 2003 requires the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) to classify sites reported to it and inform the relevant people, such as owners and occupiers. A memorial has Adult swan and her cygnet been registered against Lake Monger Reserve under section 58(b) of the Act, which means subdivision or any proposed development of the land may not be approved without seeking further advice from DEC as to its impact and suitability. Objectives Disability Discrimination Act 1992 • A clean, safe and vibrant environment The Town of Cambridge has a responsibilty to ensure that all • Enhanced natural and built environment facilities and access to facilities within Lake Monger Reserve • Quality public open space and recreational facilities comply with the standards set by the above Act. • Sound and sustainable environmental management • Diversity and compatibility in land use and Environmental Protection Act 1994 development Any proposal that is likely to have a significant impact on the environmental values of Lake Monger is required under section 38 of this act to be referred to the EPA for environmental assessment.

A minimum of fifty mature males was collected from each of five water- 29 bodies in the Swan Coastal Plain, Western Australia, in order to measure morphological 30 features related to reproduction. A set of morphological measurements were used to 31 derive the following indices: gonopodium length/standard body length, pre-anal 32 length/standard body length, the index of elongation and the percentage of male fish with 33 hooks on the distal end of the gonopodium. Indices of male mosquitofish collected from 34 Jack Finney Lake, located in the Curtin University campus, suggest the presence of 35 endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in this water-body, while those from Lake 36 Kulinup suggest this is a site of concern.

  • From Perth's Lost Swamps to the Beeliar Wetlands
    Coolabah, No. 24&25, 2018, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians i Transnacionals / Observatory: Australian and Transnational Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Reimagining the cultural significance of wetlands: From Perth’s lost swamps to the Beeliar Wetlands. Danielle Brady Edith Cowan University [email protected] Jeffrey Murray Australian Army Copyright©2018 Danielle Brady & Jeffrey Murray. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged, in accordance with our Creative Commons Licence. Abstract: The history of Perth, Western Australia, has been characterised by the incremental loss of its wetlands. While disputes about wetlands are often framed solely in terms of the environment, they are places of cultural significance too. The extensive wetlands of central Perth, food gathering and meeting places for Noongar people are now expunged from the landscape. Urban dwellers of Perth are largely unaware that the seasonal lakes and wetlands of the centre of the city were the larders, gardens, hideouts, dumps and playgrounds of previous generations; both Noongar and Settler. The loss of social memory of these lost cultural/natural places entails the framing of wetlands as aberrant and continues to influence Perth’s development and the sense of place of its inhabitants. Reimagining Perth’s Lost Wetlands was a project which attempted to reimagine the pre-colonial landscape using archival material. Reimagining the past allows connections to be made to the last remaining wetlands in the wider metropolitan area. The fight to save the Beeliar Wetlands in southern suburban Perth as a cultural/natural place illustrates the changing value of wetlands and the laying down of social memories of place.

  • History Comes to Life on Lake Monger's Shores
    MEDIA RELEASE: Wednesday, 18 November 2020 HISTORY COMES TO LIFE ON LAKE MONGER’S SHORES Galup Ian Wilkes and Poppy van Oorde-Grainger with an oral history from Doolann Leisha Eatts Co-produced by Same Drum and Performing Lines WA Image cr: Daniel Grant On the shores of Lake Monger, step back in time to the 1830s as Noongar performer Ian Wilkes guides you through real events from our city’s collective past. Galup is the Noongar word for Lake Monger, meaning “place of fire” where Whadjuk Noongar families lived and maintained their home campfires for millennia. Today, thousands of people visit Lake Monger and its famous black swans every week without knowing the events that happened there or understanding the significance of this important site in suburban Perth. Galup seeks to change all that by inviting people to take a walk around the lake at sunset to hear, watch and participate in retelling of some of its largely unknown stories. Kaya wanjoo ngany boodja, Galup. Welcome to my home, Galup – place of fire. Created by Wilkes and fellow Western Australian artist/filmmaker Poppy van Oorde-Grainger, Galup is an interactive 3.5km walking performance on-country that will be one of the highlights of Perth Festival. With an oral history from Elder Doolann-Leisha Eatts, this intimate, truth-telling performance will resonate long after it ends. ‘I have lived my whole life dreaming that this story would be told. It was my greatest desire, right from when I was 10 years old,’ says Doolann-Leisha Eatts. ‘Seeing the performance at the lake was one of the proudest days of my life.’ An hour before sunset, Wilkes meets his audience at the foot of a bridge over the Mitchell Freeway.

This circular gives; an introduction to the Southwest, (botanical and historical), dates of the ANN2016 and associated tours, details of location, format, accommodation and catering, details of pre and post tours, cost of events and accommodation, enrolment form, and details of timing and payment options. 1 Introduction to the Southwest The unique biogeographic region of Southwest Australia, stretching from Shark Bay in the north to Israelite Bay in the south, covers over 300 000 square kilometres and is recognised as an international biodiversity hotspot. https://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/conservation/hotspots. Briefly a Global Biodiversity Hot Spot is one where there are over 1500 endemic plant species and where 70% of the land has been cleared. The Southwest of Western Australia has over 5710 plant species and some 3000 (52.5%) are endemic. The uniqueness of our flora is the result of growing in an area which has been exposed and uninfluenced by glaciation or volcanism for at least 290 million years, which has been totally isolated by seas and deserts for 30 million years and which has had a drying summer climate for 10-15 million years.
