Audit Summary Soil Assessment Results Following remediation of soils the remaining contaminants of concern beneath the Site were nickel and lead as listed in Table 10, Section 6.2. It must be noted that the reported results are below relevant health criteria for the proposed site development (i.e. NEPM HIL ‘D’). One soil analytical result was above the conservatively adopted NEPM HIL ‘A’ criteria for lead and another sample was above NEPM EIL (ecological) criteria for nickel, however values for these contaminants are well below criteria when considered in the context of statistically averaged concentrations across the Site (i.e. 95% UCL average concentrations). This Environmental Audit has been undertaken to assess the suitability of land for all potential land uses. The auditor considers that the site is conditionally suitable for all beneficial uses of land, as outlined below: • Parks & Reserves, • Agricultural, • Sensitive use – high density ( residential with minimal access to soil ), • Recreation/Open Space, • Commercial, and • Industrial. The site is considered unsuitable for the beneficial use of land Sensitive use – Other due to the potential for soil contamination to occur during existing site infrastructure demolition activities. It is noted that a management plan (i.e. a Construction Management Plan (CMP) incorporating a Project Environmental Management Plan (PEMP) as Section B) has been prepared and included in this audit report for the purposes of ensuring that the demolition is conducted appropriately.

  • Newsletter No. 108: September 2014
    NEWSLETTER No. 108 September 2014 Serving the community, families, schools, students, historians and The Housemuseum other researchers A number of historians and biographers have described the lives of artists with a connection to Kew. Some artists were born in Kew, such as the modernists George Bell (1878-1966) and Horace Brodzky (1885-1969). Others made their homes here, including Artur Loureiro (1853-1932), William Nichols Anderson (1872-1927), Alice Bale (1875-1955) and Alma Contents Figuerola (1895-1969). Mme. Figuerola, who lived in d’Estaville in Barry Street, was one of the first members of the Kew Historical Society. W. Nichols Anderson, a pupil of Frederick McCubbin, lived at various times in Cobden SOCIETY ACTIVITIES Street, Parkhill Road and High Street. His daughter was to donate one of his 3 News about exhibitions, special paintings to the Society. Anderson’s depiction of ‘Adeney Avenue from High events, past and future meetings Street, Kew’ (1906) is now one of the ‘treasures’ of our collection. Kew has also been home to significant patrons of the arts.

  • SHADY PLACES : Hawthorn's Parks, Gardens and 'Public' Property
    Hawthorn’s creeks, perhaps the main one once as Boorondara SHADY PLACES : Hawthorn's Parks, Gardens and 'Public' Property. 1 The name Boroondara came from an aboriginal word meaning ‘place of shade’, chosen by government surveyor Robert Hoddle for a Parish, covering an area similar to the present City. The first white visitors commented on the dense forests - of stringybark, box and mountain ash - stretching for miles beyond the river. There are still indigenous gums, wattles and casuarinas, but our shade provided now mainly by exotic foreign trees and buildings. Land near Melbourne was surveyed, with numbered Allotments leased to squatters or woodcutters then sold. ‘Reserve’ was marked, by a river or creek with access to water, for a village or some public use. Today, pockets of public land are dotted across Boroondara - like odd-shaped beads on a broken string - some not far from the river, but following watercourses now not so obvious with creek later a drain. Some parks and gardens (now with bike paths, as on-leash or off-leash for dogs…) were donated by public-spirited citizens, acquired in lieu of unpaid rates, or not suitable for building - as swampy, flood-prone, where clay or road- metal was dug, and land-fill unstable. However, in recent years,‘public’ places once with community services for elderly citizens or child care seem to have gone, with churches ‘uniting’, or property sold. In 1886 Hawthorn Council discussed using brickpits for rubbish dumps - dismissed as foolish but adopted - for useful rather than recreational purposes: where horses were stabled, road-metal stored, until required Dog Parks for community centre, drill hall, kindergarten, then power line or freeway.

  • Glass's Creek Pound
    Kew Historical Society - Commerce and Industry series Glass’s Creek Pound The City of Boroondara currently advises that any dogs and cats ‘found at large’ will be taken to the Council Pound in Glen Iris. Before the amalgamation of individual cities into the City of Boroondara in 1994, most cities funded and managed their own pounds. The term pound comes from the Middle English ‘pund’, used to define or describe an enclosure. Current usage of the term derives from this original meaning and encompasses places for the detention of stray animals, a space where automobiles are impounded, a section of a canal between two locks, and even a type of fishing net. It can be difficult to establish with certainty the dates when the first pounds were established in the Port Phillip District. A Proclamation by Governor Gipps in 1840 ordered and directed that ‘Notice of all Cattle impounded in the Public Pounds in the District of Port Phillip should be published by the Poundkeepers of such Pounds in one or more of the Newspapers published at the Town of Melbourne, in the County of Bourke ...’. The Proclamation, amended in 1846, presupposes that a number of public pounds already existed. While the first successful land sales in Boroondara occurred in Hawthorn in 1843, and Kew in 1845, these areas were to be without local pounds until April 1858, when the Governor of Victoria, in accordance with Act 18 Victoria No 30, was pleased to direct the establishment of a Pound at Glass’s Creek on that part of land bounded by the Kilby Road, Burke Road and High Street.
