I have been asked to review the material provided to me and prepare an expert witness statement in respect to the CORA development proposal and C125 planning scheme amendment, which: ◼ considers my own opinions, within the limits of my expertise, with respect to the appropriateness of the proposal in relation to all relevant integrated water management considerations; ◼ explains the relevant flood risk in respect to the site and surrounds; ◼ considers the appropriateness of the proposal in respect to proposed flood mitigation measures; and ◼ provides a response to any submissions received from other parties arising from public exhibition. I understand that the proposal in relation to groundwater management has been considered as part of the expert witness statement prepared by Mr Andrew Telfer. 20010145_R01_v02e_Expert Report.docxWitness COESR Pty Ltd | January 2020 CAPE OTWAY ROAD AUSTRALIA (‘CORA’) DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE Page 8 4 BASIS OF THIS REPORT This report is based on: ◼ Review of Amendment C125 to the Surf Coast Shire Planning Scheme supporting information and technical reports, including: ◼ Development Advisory Committee Stage 1 Report (17 April 2019) ◼ Cape Otway Road Australia Comprehensive Development Plan (17 September 2019) ◼ Flood Report (Water Technology, September 2019) ◼ Integrated Water Management Plan (Water Technology, September 2019) ◼ Land Capability Assessment for Sustainable Irrigation of Recycled Water (Out Task Environmental, August 2018) ◼ Biodiversity Assessment (Ecology & Heritage Partners, September 2019) ◼ Cora Precinct Plan, Concept Masterplan and Landscape Masterplan, Tract, 18 Dec 2019 ◼ Review of any additional publicly available information, including: ◼ LiDAR (survey) and VicMap information; ◼ Submissions received in respect to the proposed CORA development and Amendment C125 to the Surf Coast Shire Planning Scheme; ◼ Relevant guidelines and standards, including: ◼ DELWP’s Guidelines for Development in Flood Affected Areas (2019); ◼ Infrastructure Design Manual; ◼ State Rivers and Water Supply Commission Memorandum, Drainage of Lake Modewarre into Thompson’s Creek, 16 September 1977 This report has been prepared in accordance with the relevant procedures and practice notes applied by Planning Panels Victoria on Expert Evidence. I have read the “Guide to Expert Evidence” and am aware of my overriding duty to assist the Panel on matters relevant to my expertise. I have had no direct input to the development of the proposal or the supporting documents submitted as part of the amendment. Following early discussions with the planning consultant (Tract), prior to Water Technology’s engagement to undertake investigations, my role was Project Director. This is a supporting role (as required) to the Project Manager and did not involve any technical input or review. This role typically becomes active when there are technical or client issues that need my assistance. In this instance there were no such concerns and I remained at “arms length” from the project. Similarly, my colleague Bertrand Salmi had no involvement in the development of the technical reports. We have therefore undertaken a peer review of the previous Water Technology reports, independent of the previous work, and undertaken further analysis to inform my response to instructions. 20010145_R01_v02e_Expert Report.docxWitness COESR Pty Ltd | January 2020 CAPE OTWAY ROAD AUSTRALIA (‘CORA’) DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE Page 9 5 INTRODUCTION I have been instructed by Planning & Property Partners on behalf of COESR Pty Ltd to provide expert evidence at the upcoming Panel Hearing in relation to relevant drainage and flooding matters associated with the elite sport, training, tourism and accommodation development in

  • Annual Water Outlook 2019-2020
    Annual Water Outlook 2019-2020 30 November 2019 December 2019 marks 100 years since work to build Lake Glenmaggie commenced in 1919. Glenmaggie Weir has brought many benefits to the local district. Its primary purpose is to supply irrigation to the Macalister Irrigation District, but the Lake is also an iconic holiday destination and recreation facility. Introduction The Minister for Water has delegated Southern Rural Water (SRW) with the responsibility for managing surface water licensing, groundwater extraction, storage dams and irrigation districts across the southern third of Victoria. Within this wide geographic area, SRW manages take and use licenses from waterways, farm dam registrations, licences relating to catchment dams and seven major dams, and operates irrigation districts. Water use is primarily for agricultural, urban and industrial purposes. SRW manages the Macalister Irrigation District (MID) in central Gippsland and the Werribee (WID) and Bacchus Marsh (BMID) irrigation districts west of Melbourne. The majority of the water used in the irrigation districts is for primary agricultural production, along with stock and domestic and minor industrial use. Water shares are held by individual customers within the districts and transactions are recorded in the Victorian Water Register. Blue Rock Lake (part of the Latrobe River system) plays a major role in providing cooling water for Victoria’s brown coal power generation. These are bulk entitlements held by the various companies which own and run the power stations. Blue Rock Lake and Lake Glenmaggie have environmental water entitlements (bulk entitlements and water shares respectively) that are managed by the West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority on behalf of the Victorian Environmental Water Holder.

Introduction This submission is made jointly by Environmental Justice Australia (EJA) and the Yarra Riverkeeper Association (YRKA).

EJA undertakes litigation, law and policy reform, campaigns and community legal education. YRKA is a nongovernmental organisation that was established in order to provide a ‘voice’ for the Yarra River and its communities. YRKA has engaged extensively for more than a decade on campaigning, policy reform and community engagement for the protection, improvement and restoration of the River. EJA and YRKA have worked closely and collaboratively for law and policy reform for the Yarra River since 2014.
