  • Merri Creek Sediment Project: a Model for Inter-Government Solution Development
    Merri Creek Sediment Project: A model for Inter-Government Solution Development Melanie Holmes & Toby Prosser Melbourne Water Corporation, 990 La Trobe Street, Docklands VIC 3008 [email protected] [email protected] Background The Merri Creek, a tributary of Melbourne’s Yarra River, Figure 1: Merri Creek Catchment originates near Wallan, flowing 70km through Melbourne’s northern suburbs to its confluence near Dights Falls in Abbotsford. With a catchment of approximately 390 km2, it falls within the municipal areas of Darebin, Hume, Mitchell, Moreland, Whittlesea and City of Yarra. It is a high profile waterway, supporting good remnant ecological values in its upper, and, significant recreational values in its lower reaches. Merri Creek Management Committee (MCMC) and Friends of Merri Creek both play an active role in environmental protection and advocacy. As with other urban and peri urban waterways, Merri Creek is impacted by stormwater runoff from its catchment areas, varying in effect due to catchment activities and the level of impermeability. Merri Creek has been identified as Melbourne’s most polluted waterway (The Age, 2011), and has recently been subject to heavy rainfall driven sediment loads. This issue has also been the focus of community and media scrutiny, with articles in the Melbourne metropolitan daily newspaper (The Age) and local newspapers featuring MCMC discussing the damaging effects of stormwater inputs. Sediment is generated through the disturbance of soils within the catchment through vegetation removal, excavation, soil importation and dumping, as well as in stream erosion caused by altered flow regimes, such as increases in flow quantity, velocity and frequency as a result of urbanisation.

  • Victorian Heritage Database Place Details - 27/9/2021 Spencer Street Bridge
    Victorian Heritage Database place details - 27/9/2021 Spencer Street Bridge Location: Between Spencer Street & Clarendon Street,, MELBOURNE VIC 3000 - Property No B6799 Heritage Inventory (HI) Number: Listing Authority: HI Extent of Registration: Statement of Significance: The Spencer Street Bridge built by the Victorian Railways Construction Branch in 1929-30 is significant as a major new crossing of the Yarra River reflecting engineering and design standards intended to enhance the Yarra River as an aesthetic and recreational adjunct to the City of Melbourne. The Spencer Street Bridge is significant for aesthetic/architectural, historic, and technical reasons at a State level. Spencer Street Bridge was constructed after a long period of stagnation in road and bridge development in Victoria in a climate of controversy and rivalry between public authorities, local councils and politicians. The Spencer Street Bridge is of historical significance as the first major new crossing (as opposed to replacement of older bridges on existing crossings such as the 1924 Church Street Bridge) to be created over the lower Yarra in Melbourne after a considerable lull in such projects since the Morell Bridge of 1899-1900. Its construction demonstrates the political difficulties of the time and the growing importance of motor vehicle traffic to Melbourne's commerce. The Spencer Street Bridge was the first permanent structure over the Yarra built below "the falls" (a natural rock barrier that formed the upstream limit of practical river navigation) and as such is historically important because it was the first bridge to effectively cut the city off from direct contact with its port.

  • State of the Environment Report
    State of the Environment Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is a growing focus in the community on restoration of urban and other areas damaged by human actions. We want to clean up the environment close to where we live - our air, our open spaces, and our water. This study examines the potential for restoration of one such damaged system - the waterways of the Merri Catchment, in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. The Merri Creek rises in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range near Wallan, approximately sixty kilometres north of Melbourne, and flows south, through rural, industrial and residential areas to its confluence with the Yarra River near Dights Falls in the inner city suburb of Abbotsford. The Merri Creek itself is approximately 80 kilometres long and the catchment drains an area of approximately 400 square kilometres. This study presents all the available information on the state of the waterways of the Merri Catchment. It identifies, as far as possible, the problems resulting from human activities. Throughout the study the principles of Integrated Catchment Management have been used, in particular the concepts of: • recognition of the intrinsic worth of the natural environment • an interdisciplinary approach and a systems perspective • concern to include community values • an integrated environmental and socio-economic approach The most important findings of the State of the Environment Report are that: • Agricultural practices - such as removal of riparian vegetation, drainage of wetlands and stock trampling of stream banks - are a major cause of aquatic ecosystem degradation. • Urban development has massively altered the flow and the water quality of the waterways, for example by increasing the quantity of stormwater which carries a high load of contaminants.

  • Hawthorn Heritage Study
    HAWTHORN HERITAGE STUDY APRIL 1993 The Hawthorn Heritage Study was one of the three Special Strategy Plan Projects started during 1991. The Heritage Study was prepared by a team led by Meredith Gould, Conservation Architect, with substantial input from the Townscape and Heritage Topic Group as part of the Hawthorn Strategy Plan process. Some sections of the study were completed in draft form as early as late 1991; other sections have only reached completion now. This Study is the first ever comprehensive assessment of Hawthorn's urban and landscape heritage. Every bUilding in Hawthorn has been assessed for its heritage value. Significant trees, parks, landscapes and roadways have also been evaluated and recorded. The heritage areas proposed in the Study were endorsed by Hawthorn Council for the purpose of public consultation on 10 December 1991. Comments were sought by means of a map and explanatory material in a Strategy Plan booklet letterboxed throughout Hawthorn in March 1991. On 25 August 1992, Council resolved that a proposed Planning Scheme Amendment be drafted to include: Heritage protection for areas Protection of individual buildings of stand alone and contributory signiticance outside heritage areas. Voluntary registration of other individual places outside heritage areas, for the purpose of heritage protection. A degree of heritage control substantially reduced compared to normal Urban Conservation Areas. Council on 20 April 1993 resolved to publish the completed study; to notify property owners of buildings recommended for inclusion on the Historic Buildings Register, the National Estate Register and the Significant Tree Register; and to refer for further officer investigation the recommendations on signiticant street trees, kerbs/gutterslfootpaths/roadways, laneways, drains and creeks, Yarra River/Gardiners Creek, parks/reserves, and the establishment of an internal monitoring system.

Queens Bridge Street (originally called Moray Street North, along with City Road, provided the main access into South and Port Melbourne from the city when the only bridges available for foot and wheel traffic were the Princes the Falls bridges. The Kearney map of 1855 shows land north of City Road (then Sandridge Road) as poorly-drained and avoided on account of its flood-prone nature. To the immediate south was Emerald Hill. The Port Melbourne railway crossed the river at The Falls and ran north of City Road. By the time of Commander Cox’s 1866 map, some industrial premises were located on the Yarra River bank and walking tracks connected them with the Sandridge Road and Emerald Hill.

  • Response 1 I Am Writing to You Regarding the Latest Agenda Item for the 23 June Council Meeting Regarding the Trial Transport Projects
    Response 1 I am writing to you regarding the latest agenda item for the 23 June council meeting regarding the trial transport projects. I have submitted a response for tomorrow's meeting but am messaging you here as my full submission is longer than allowed and seek some further information. The proposed transport, movement and access trials are a good initiative for public safety, health and improving the current road hierarchy, particularly to support cycling. The strategic move of not letting a good crisis go to waste is also appreciated and I fully support these trials in these times. However, a comprehensive analysis of traffic conditions (before and after), community consultation and transparent process must be adhered too. Traffic surveys and evidence to justify their permanency post-trial needs to be transparent and open for discussion via good community consultation. Concerns: Trenerry Crescent closure: - It is expected that this will cause significant delays to local community traffic in the Clifton Hill pocket bordered by Heidelberg Road to the north and Hoddle Street to the west. Without any southern access point, it will divert all traffic towards these major arterials. Whilst I understand this is the desired outcome and will prevent rat-running through this pocket (which there is a substantial amount of), it does require serious consideration of the impact to this community. It will cause significant delays for local traffic which will now be funneled towards these state arterial routes which already experience substantial congestion particularly at peak times. Further, there are 3 main exits for residents from this pocket, being Roseneath, Ramsden and Fenwick.
