2008 The previous Essendon Airport Master Plan was approved in October 2008.
Ongoing Ongoing training and consultation has raised awareness of environmental issues throughout the Airport’s tenants and operators. Ongoing Consultation with tenants and operators is a key focus of projects undertaken at Essendon Airport. This has resulted in an increased awareness of environmental issues amongst airport staff, tenants and operators. 2010 - 2013 The Airport participated in a number of community activities and provided numerous donations to various community based organisations and events. 2012 A Ground Running Procedure was formalised in 2012, which incorporates a new site for the mobile testing vehicle.
2012 A Stormwater Monitoring Procedure was completed by Meinhardt Infrastructure and Environment Pty Ltd in March 2012.
2011 - 2012 Environmental Awareness training was developed and implemented in 2011; further training is currently under development. 2001 - 2014 EAPL has retained Meinhardt Infrastructure and Environment to assist with environmental matters on an ongoing basis, and Godden McKay Logan to assist with heritage matters. 2014 The current Essendon Airport Master Plan was approved in April 2014 Ongoing Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMP’s) are developed to manage potential risks to the environment associated with the development of buildings and car parks with significant environmental risks.

Tenants of the airport are subject to regular audits to ensure compliance. Most of the dangerous goods and hazardous substances are aviation fuels currently stored at one aviation fuel depot, which is operated by Mobil. This depot is subject to tenant audits and to Mobil’s own quality control procedures. A number of aviation tenants at the Airport store small quantities of fuel and oils. Apart from fuels and oils, there are only minor quantities of other hazardous materials on site. 10.1 PREVIOUS ACHIEVEMENTS Dangerous Goods & Hazardous Substances

Essendon Airport has conducted a number of studies focused on the flora and fauna at the site, in consultation with State and Federal conservation bodies to identify areas of environmental significance. A summary of the assessments conducted is included below. EAPL will continue to assess its environmental impact in accordance with EPBC Act for the duration of this plan. Where amendments to EPBC lists are made EAPL will amend its environmental assessment processes to ensure that the organisation’s legal obligations to protect new listings are met.
FLORA AND FAUNA SURVEYS CARRIED OUT BETWEEN 1998 - 2014
DATE REPORT GENERAL FINDINGS
1998 Flora and Fauna Essendon Airport is an area of low biological value. More than 70 years of clearance within the airport Study grounds and rapid urbanisation of surrounding areas has contributed to elimination of most native vegetation in the area. No environmentally significant areas were found within the airport’s grounds.
2004 Flora and Fauna No flora or fauna species of national or state conservation significance were recorded. Survey of the Bulla The survey of the Bulla Precinct located a small area of Natural Temperate Grasslands (referred to then Precinct as the modified Plains Grassy Woodlands) adjoining the southern end of the main north-south airstrip.
2007 Flora and fauna No flora or fauna of national or state conservation significance was found. Most of the area is modified Report of the and of limited ecological value. Wirraway North Site The Natural Temperate Grasslands occupies the majority of the study area. The area was assessed to be “modified and of limited ecological value.” 2008 Golden Sun Moth This survey did not detect either a viable population or any individuals of this species. It is thought that (Synemon plan) localised extinction of this species occurred in the past. Survey
2008 EPBC Act The Natural Temperate Grasslands of the Victorian Volcanic Plain (NTGVVP) were listed on the EPBC Act in June 2008 as a habitat for Golden Sun Moths and Legless Lizards.
2012 Golden Sun Moth A further survey of the entire undeveloped land was conducted in 2012 to determine the presence of Survey the Golden Sun Moth. No Golden Sun Moths were detected during the targeted surveys. The survey concluded that development of the site is not likely to have an impact on this species.
2014 Flora and Fauna Since the listing of NTGVVP on the EPBC Act in 2008, a flora and fauna assessment of the Airport’s Assessment – north north east section identified four patches of Natural Temperate Grasslands of the Victorian Volcanic east section Plain totalling 4.13 ha. The assessment considered the patches to be of “low quality”and of “low ecological value.” 2014 Flora and Fauna A flora and fauna assessment of grassed areas within the English Street Precinct in May 2014 found Assessment that the areas assessed have little to no ecological value in their current condition. The assessment – English Street stated “no additional assessments or referral under the EPBC Act is considered necessary for works Precinct within the assessed areas.”

2007 - 2011 Successful redevelopment of heritage buildings (Buildings 79 and 83).
2011 A Heritage Impact Statement for proposed works at Hangar 4 was commissioned by EAPL in July 2011. The proposed works aim to sympathetically repair and restore the external fabric of the Hangar and internally provide facilities that will attract a long term tenant. 2011 A Conservation Management Plan, (CMP) was completed for Hangars 4 and 5. The primary objective of the CMP was to establish a policy framework, in order to promote their significance and to outline policies that support their continued use and management. 2012 EAPL prepared a Conservation Management Plan for Essendon Airport Terminal, which was completed in early 2012. This document will assist in the planning for the re-development of this building.
