We remove and spray weeds, cut grass and plant native trees and shrubs. What we have done Why We plant native trees and shrubs along waterways to provide habitat for birds and animals. Revegetating waterways and replacing weeds 4 km Revegetation with native plants prevents erosion and improves water quality. Introduced and noxious weeds can choke waterways and take over 60 km Weed control from plants that provide healthy habitats for birds and animals. Silt and sediment is removed for drainage and flood protection and to prevent pollution building up in our waterways. Excess silt 3 Sediment/ and sediment in waterways and wetlands can impact habitat for 803 m silt removal native plants and animals.

Regional Rail link (west of weRRibee to DeeR PaRk) The proposal for the Regional Rail Link – west of Werribee to Deer Park is being planned in an integrated manner with the changes to Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary, the Outer Metropolitan Ring / E6 Transport Corridor and the preservation of grasslands areas in Melbourne’s west. The Regional Rail Link can allow urban growth areas in Melbourne’s west to be served by high-quality public transport infrastructure early on in their development. It is of strategic importance to Victoria in achieving its wider transport planning vision as outlined in The Victorian Transport Plan and urban growth planning as outlined in Melbourne 2030 and Melbourne @ 5 million. 9.1 Understanding the Corridor The Regional Rail Link – west of Werribee to Deer Park is a 30 kilometre long section of up to 50 kilometres of the rail project linking the Melbourne-Geelong railway west of Werribee to Southern Cross Station via the Melbourne-Ballarat railway, connecting at Deer Park. The other section of the Regional Rail Link uses the existing rail corridors between Southern Cross Station and Deer Park. Both sections of the overall Regional Rail Link can be developed independently of each other, although both are proposed to be developed together to reduce construction times and ensure overall project benefits are realised as early as possible. 9.2 assessment The selection and assessment process to determine the alignment for the Regional Rail Link – west of Werribee to Deer Park involved: > Preparing route concepts to identify a broad range of options considering engineering constraints and benefits.

  • Adopted by Wyndham City Council on 26 October 2015

    Adopted by Wyndham City Council on 26 October 2015

    Adopted by Wyndham City Council on 26 October 2015. SUMMARY Indicators suggest that the health of the Werribee River is poor, particularly in its lower reaches. This is primarily due to low flow rates downstream of the Werribee Diversion Weir and large amounts of litter entering the River from stormwater drains between Shaws Roads and the Maltby Bypass. Although some research is occurring at the river estuary, there is currently no water quality monitoring points downstream of the Werribee Diversion Weir. This is a concern as the lower reaches of river are in the worst condition and suffer from blue-green algal blooms due to high nutrients and low water flow. Council is not directly responsible for the health of the river. This responsibility lies with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP), Melbourne Water and regional water utility companies. There are however still opportunities for Council to promote and address some of the health challenges facing the river. Recommendations to Council made in this report include: 1. Advocate to the Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water, and/or the Victorian Environmental Water Holder to increase environmental flows using yet-to-be-allocated water at Lake Merrimu. 2. Advocate to the Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water, DELWP, the Victoria Environmental Water Holder and Melbourne Water to increase the percentage of water allocations for environmental flows and/or fund water recovery purchases. 3. Advocate to Melbourne Water to create additional water quality monitoring points downstream of the Werribee Diversion Weir. 4. Advocate to DELWP and the relevant waterway management authorities to facilitate a forum focusing on the future of the Werribee River with the aim of enhancing partnerships and identifying opportunities to work together to improve the health of the River.
