1. ARMSTRONG CREEK EAST PRECINCT NATIVE VEGETATION PRECINCT PLAN – JANUARY 2010

This is the Armstrong Creek East Precinct Native Vegetation Precinct Plan (NVPP) listed under Schedule to Clause 52.16 of the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme.

The Armstrong Creek East Precinct Native Vegetation Precinct Plan applies to all land shown in Figure 1.


Figure 1: Armstrong Creek East Precinct Locality Map


Purpose

In accordance with clause 52.16 of the City of Greater Geelong Planning Scheme, the purpose of this plan is to:

Specify the native vegetation to be protected and the native vegetation that can be removed, destroyed or lopped;

Ensure that areas set aside to protect native vegetation are managed to conserve ecological values in accordance with the Armstrong Creek East Precinct Structure Plan;

Ensure that the removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation specified to be protected is consistent with conserving the ecological values of these areas and is in accordance with the three-step approach to net gain as set out in (Victoria’s Native Vegetation Management – a Framework for Action, DSE 2002);

Set out the works or other necessary actions to offset the removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation; and

Streamline the planning approvals process through a landscape approach to native vegetation protection and management.

Vegetation Protection Objectives to be Achieved

The objectives of the Armstrong Creek East Precinct NVPP are to:

1. Provide for the protection of native vegetation within the landscape that recognises the conservation significance of native vegetation in accordance with Victoria’s Native Vegetation Management – A Framework for Action (the Framework) (DNRE 2002);

2. Be consistent with, and complement the desired outcomes of the Armstrong Creek East Precinct, Precinct Structure Plan (PSP);

3. Ensure that appropriate biodiversity outcomes are achieved through the retention of specified native vegetation, habitat enhancement and waterway protection; and

4. Support the provision of Public Open Space (POS) and dedicated conservation areas that avoid vegetation loss, minimise impacts and enhance native vegetation protection through the precinct vegetation offsetting.


2. THE NATIVE VEGETATION TO BE PROTECTED

The native vegetation to be protected is:

- Summarised in Table 1 and Table 2 to this Plan;

- Presented in Figures 2 and 3 in Appendix A to this Plan; and

- Set aside and available as offsets for vegetation removed within the area to which this Plan applies.

3. NATIVE VEGETATION WHICH CAN BE REMOVED, DESTROYED OR LOPPED

The native vegetation described in Tables 3 and 4 and shown as native vegetation that can be removed in Map 2 can be removed, destroyed or lopped, subject to the requirements and conditions set out in this template under "5. Works, payment or other actions necessary to offset the removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation." The native vegetation that can be removed, destroyed or lopped is:

- Summarised in Table 3 and (Note: in the case where part of the habitat zone is to be retained and part is to be removed, the habitat zone will be split into two separate areas in the NVPP to allow retention of required part).

- Table 4 to this Plan;

- Presented in Figures 2 and 3, Appendix A to this Plan; and

- Required to meet the conditions and requirements for the removal of native vegetation.

4. MAP 2 AND 3: NATIVE VEGETATION TO BE PROTECTED AND REMOVED

Map 2 and 3 located within Appendix A contain the following information:

1. Native vegetation to be protected.

2. Native vegetation which can be removed. This is the vegetation that may be removed by the developer without permit subject to the offsets requirements specified in the NVPP.

3. Any areas of land required to protect native vegetation that is specified to be protected (including areas around protected trees of at least twice the canopy radius and areas to ensure manageable boundaries and access or fire buffers as needed around retained and protected Habitat Zones in accordance with cl. 52.16–2 dot point four).

4. Areas containing no native vegetation: Areas mapped as currently not having any native vegetation. Unless offset areas are located in this map unit, no permits to remove native vegetation under Cl. 52.17 of the Planning Scheme will be required for the removal or destruction of native vegetation in these areas at anytime in the future. This provides the required certainty to developers.

It is important that the PSPs and associated biodiversity values are discoverable. Therefore, an appropriate planning tool should be used.


5. THE WORKS, PAYMENTS OR OTHER ACTIONS NECESSARY TO OFFSET THE REMOVAL, DESTRUCTION OR LOPPING OF NATIVE VEGETATION

The following requirements must be met:

A planning permit must not be granted to use or subdivide the land or to construct a building or carry out works until the Offset Plan in accordance with Table 5 and 6 (the NVPP) has been prepared to the satisfaction of the Department of Sustainability and Environment and has the approval of the responsible authority;

The landowner must enter into a legal, on title agreement prior to subdivision or building and works that provides for the management and ongoing protection of the offset in accordance with the approved Offset Plan and must include, as appropriate:

- The Offset Plan;

- the on-going land use commitments to manage the offset primarily for protection of the native vegetation values in perpetuity;

- specification of the identity of the responsible monitoring authority and the reporting responsibilities of the land owner; and

- specification of the terms in which the responsible authority can visit and monitor the site.

If the Offset Plan varies from the offset strategy, proposed changes will need to be to the satisfaction of DSE;

Offsets must commence within one year of the approval of the Offset Plan, except for Very High Conservation Significance vegetation where initiation of the Offset Plan must commence prior to vegetation removal. Implementation must be completed according to the schedule of works in the Offset Plan, to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.

Offset management prescriptions shall be detailed in a specific Offset Management Plan that must be approved by the DSE.

The offset requirements for habitat zones losses in the Armstrong Creek East Precinct are identified in Table 5. The offset requirements for scattered tree losses (including large old trees in habitat zones) are identified in Table 6.

*Note: To receive a site condition gain score of 12 points (0.12 Hha), logs within the re-vegetated area must be meet the benchmark log length, including large logs. For Grassy Woodland, large logs are 35cm in diameter for Eucalypt spp., 20cm for Allocasuarina spp. and 15cm for Acacia spp.. The benchmark log length is 15m / 0.1 ha or 150m per hectare.

Complete details of Net Gain calculations and offset management prescriptions can be found in the Armstrong Creek East Precinct Detailed Ecological Assessment Report (SMEC Australia 2009).


6. CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR PERMITS

The following conditions must be included in the schedule to the UGZ:

The works, payments and other actions necessary to offset the removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation as set out in the Armstrong Creek East Precinct Detailed Ecological Assessment Report (SMEC Australia, 2009) must be provided to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority;

All offsets are to be located within the area to which this Plan applies and be consistent with the principles set out in Victoria’s Native Vegetation Framework – A Framework for Action (DSE 2002);

If native vegetation identified as being capable to be removed is instead to be retained, offset requirements will be reduced accordingly;

Where offsets are required, an offset management plan must be prepared to the satisfaction of the Secretary to the Department of Sustainability and Environment and those offsets shall be protected through measures such as conservation covenants, Section 173 agreements or gifts to the Crown (where such gifts are accepted) to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority;

All earthworks must be undertaken in a manner that will minimise soil erosion and adhere to Construction Techniques for Sediment Pollution Control, EPA 1991.

No grazing may occur on native vegetation to be protected (unless it is permitted by a Management Plan approved by the responsible authority).

Soil must not be stockpiled on native vegetation that is to be protected.

Only indigenous plants of local provenance may be used in revegetation works.

Any native vegetation to be removed (in accordance with this NVPP) must be clearly marked on site.

Prior to commencement of any works during the construction phase, a highly visible vegetation protection fence must be erected around twice the canopy distance of each scattered tree and more than 2 metres from areas of native vegetation which have been identified to be protected.

The placement of fill must be designed to ensure that it does not compromise native vegetation to be protected.

Water run-off must be designed to ensure that native vegetation to be protected is not compromised.

Prior to felling any tree which may be removed, the tree must be examined by a suitably qualified zoologist for the presence of fauna in hollows or external nests. If native fauna species are located, they must be salvaged and relocated to the closest suitable vegetation in consultation with the Department of Sustainability and Environment

The removal of native vegetation which is identified within this NVPP does not require a further permit; and

Offsets must commence within one year of the approval of the Offset Plan (except for Very High Conservation Significance vegetation where initiation of the Offset Plan must commence prior to vegetation removal). Implementation must be completed according to the schedule of works in the Offset Plan, to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority and DSE.


7. PROCEDURES FOR THE COLLECTION OF ANY PAYMENTS

No payments are necessary or specified.


8. OTHER INFORMATION

The specific controls contained within this incorporated document do not expire.
