“It was a good event yesterday I thought, one of the better ones I’ve been to and certainly the best
from a community involvement perspective.”
“It is important to consider the Yarra River as one entity,
fully connected from its source to its estuary”

Objectives for today
5
• To re-connect as a group and to build / strengthen relationships
• To celebrate the success of the volunteer group – and hear where they got to on the Goals
• To learn more about the Science – the impacts of urbanisation and climate change – Dr. Yung En Chee from Melbourne Uni.
• Using the draft goals and our understanding of the catchment values and threats, start to identify opportunities and actions we can undertake to meet the goals
Agenda for today
6
Catchment Goals
Yarra Strategic Plan Update
Dr Yung En Chee: • Understanding key threats – climate change and urbanisation • Model supports
Work together on opportunities and actions • What actions and opportunities can you support? • How do you want to be involved
Program logic
8
• Program logic is like a roadmap for a project that sets out how a project/program or strategy will achieve its desired outcomes
• It shows the relationships between your planned work and the intended results.
• The Healthy Waterways Strategy program logic is in place to ensure that the planned management opportunities will protect, maintain or improve the status of the key values.

The Maribyrnong River and its tributaries are important bio-links – corridors of secure, high quality habitats that allow plants and animals to move and adapt to changes in catchment conditions and climate.
A Maribyrnong catchment whose ecological health has significantly improved since 2018…
Activity
11
We are building on the work from workshop #1
We will use the goals and information on the key values to identify management activities (actions)
Break into smaller groups in two rooms (13 tables = 12 areas + whole catchment)
There will be two rounds - opportunity to work on two areas
Start on the area that you are most familiar with
1st round – 30 minutes
2nd round – 25 minutes
Report – 20 minutes
Hear from the other room & sensing sheets – 10 min
We have lots of info in the handouts and maps about the values and threats within the catchment, which will help guide our decisions on management opportunities, activities and actions.

Activity Draft goals
14
1. Protect and improve the significant environmental values and ecological processes of all of the Yarra Catchment waterways. 2. Riparian and instream habitats provide landscape connectivity that allows movement of native species and resilient populations. 3. Cultural and heritage values are recognised, protected, maintained and improved. 4. People appreciate waterways and use them appropriately for active and passive recreation that supports mental and physical well-being. 5. An engaged and knowledgeable community in the Yarra catchment acts to protect and promote waterway values. Our waterways are a place of continuous learning. 6. The waterways of the Yarra Catchment support potable water supply, agriculture, industry and tourism in a balanced and sustainable manner. 7. Urban and rural waterways are protected and improved through innovation and cooperation.
Purpose To identify a set of environmental, social, economic and cultural actions that will enable us to, together, achieve the catchment goals. How • 1st round – 30 minutes • 2nd round – 25 minutes • Report – 20 minutes • Hear from the other room &
sensing sheets – 10 min

Next steps
• Management opportunities will be ‘tested’ for feasibility, cost effectiveness and ability to contribute to improving, maintaining or protecting the key environmental values.
• We will use a range of tools to do this including:
• Conceptual models about the key values • Habitat suitability models • Expert opinion • Engagement with key delivery partners
• Reference group
