It is a remnant Western Basalt Plains Grassland of State Significance. Native grasslands were once widespread in southern Victoria, but there is now less than 0.1% of their original extent remaining (Craigie, 1998). As of September 2008 the ecological community has been listed as a nationally threatened under the Environment Protections and Biodiversity (EPBC) Act 1999 as ‘Natural Temperate Grassland of the Victorian Volcanic Plain’. The grassland supports three different Ecological Vegetation Classes; EVC 132-61 Heavier Soils Plains Grassland, EVC 649 Stony Knoll Shrubland and EVC 125 Plains Grassy Wetland. These correspond to the (Plains Grassland, Stony Knoll Grassland and Grassy Wetland respectively identified in Williams, (2000). There have been 121 species of indigenous flora recorded (see Appendix 1 Central Creek Grasslands (Ngarri-djarrang) Flora Species list), 93 species of exotic plant and 29 species of indigenous vertebrate fauna recorded (5 frog species, 3 reptile species, 23 bird species and 1 mammal species) (Williams, 2000) but more fauna species are likely to occur on the site (Meredith, 2000). A number of these indigenous species are considered significant: of the flora species, two are nationally significant, one is of state significance and 51 are regionally significant (Barlow et al., 2000). Of the fauna species, one is of national significance and 4 are of regional significance; it is possible that a further one species of national significance and two species of state significance are also present on or near the site (Williams, 2000). Since 1993, Merri Creek Management Committee (MCMC) has been actively managing the grassland’s environmental values. Works initially focused on the south block due to uncertainty about the future reserve boundaries north of Davidson St (Appendix 2). MCMC’s work has been funded by direct grants from Council including Parks Victoria Agency Grants and by Australian Government Envirofund grant. In 2002, 9 hectares of the grassland was gazetted to create a crown land grassland reserve with Darebin City Council as the Committee of Management. The remaining 6.65 hectares of open space on the northern and eastern side of the grassland north of Davidson St has been developed for housing by the Urban and Regional Land Corporation (URLC). In mid 2010, only six house blocks facing the creek remained to be developed. As part of the development and reservation process, a Grassland Environmental Management Plan (GEMP) was prepared to provide management guidelines for the grassland (Barlow et al., 2000). The GEMP was intended to guide the development of a specific works program for the grassland reserve. In 2002, Darebin City Council engaged MCMC to prepare a specific works program for the grassland reserve, based on the GEMP. This Works Plan set out the specific grassland management tasks for the five years from 2003-2008, within an annual budget of $20,000. The Works Plan described and elaborated the minimum necessary tasks to maintain current environmental values and to allow clearly planned, detailed implementation of the goals and objectives of GEMP and other grassland management guidelines (e.g. Bush and Faithfull, 1997). This current document is an update of the original Works Plan, including assessments of the actions of the previous plan. It has been expanded with inclusion of results from monitoring to date and inclusion of a detailed monitoring program. Taxonomy has been updated and new actions reflecting the adaptive management approach and developments in the science of Native Grassland management have been included. This Works Plan should be read in conjunction with the GEMP and not as a stand-alone document. Central Creek Grasslands Works Plan 2009-2014 page 4 2 Management Elements The Central Creek GEMP (Barlow et al., 2000) outlined a proposed 12 month work program, under the following 6 management element headings: · Biomass management · Fire management · Weed management · Significant species management · Visitor & edge management · Monitoring This Works Plan elaborates a five year detailed works program, based on the GEMP’s works program and utilising the same management element headings. These headings have been retained as the structure for the 2009-13 action plan. Detailed guidelines for implementation of each of the management elements are elaborated in the following sections. Background notes on the rationale for actions are contained in the Appendices. All management actions require a high standard of grassland management expertise; particularly important are plant identification skills and high standards of hygiene of vehicles, plant and operators to ensure weed seeds are not imported into the grassland reserve. All spray equipment must be in good working order to ensure no inadvertent leaks, and all herbicide applicators should have completed certificated training in herbicide use and have substantial experience in weed

  • A Project to Reconnect Matted Flax-Lily Populations Along the Merri Creek Brian Bainbridge Merri Creek Management Committee
    Linking Landscapes Symposium Bendigo, May 2017 Biolinksalliance.org.au Symposium Presentation No. 9 Pollen Pathways: A project to reconnect Matted Flax-lily populations along the Merri Creek Brian Bainbridge Merri Creek Management Committee www.mcmc.org.au Summarised by Dr Peter Mitchell, Biolinks Alliance What does a bottle of pasta sauce have to do with connectivity? Read to the end for an answer. What does habitat connectivity look like to a plant with its roots rooted to a spot? In a series of projects on the conservation of the Matted Flax-lily (Dianella amoena), the Merri Creek landscape has been looked at from a plant’s-eye view. Along the way, the projects uncovered a whole range of stories that have really captured the imagination of the local community. Plants might be rooted in the soil, but they need their seeds to disperse around the landscape to areas suitable for colonisation – or re-colonisation. And to produce that seed, most plants need pollen from another plant probably not too closely related. Without that outcrossing, plants will not produce viable seed. So we need to consider habitat connectivity from the point of view of a “pollen pathway”. Different plants have different seed dispersal and pollination syndromes and these are affected to different degrees by fragmentation. Ary Hoffman (see Talk 2) identified how we need to have genetic diversity in plants to foster adaptation – what he called “adaptive capacity”. So we need to think about pollen when we think about habitat connectivity. For wind pollinated she-oaks and grasses, even quite large gaps can be spanned by pollen.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA.

This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups.
