1.0 INTRODUCTION 

This is the Riverdale Native Vegetation Precinct Plan (‘the Riverdale NVPP’) listed under the Schedule to 

Cluse 52.16 of the Wyndham Planning Scheme incorporated in to the Wyndham Planning Scheme pursuant 

to Clause 81.01. 

The removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation in accordance with this Native Vegetation Precinct 

Plan does not require a permit provided conditions and requirements specified in this Native Vegetation 

Precinct Plan are met. 

The Riverdale Native Vegetation Precinct Plan applies to land within the NVPP area as shown on NVPP Map 

1, which comprises land within the Riverdale Precinct Structure Plan. 

The Victorian Government entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth Government, under section 

146 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (the EPBC Act 1999), to conduct 

a strategic assessment of the potential impact of ‘Delivering Melbourne’s Newest Sustainable Communities’ 

on matters of national environmental significance (the Melbourne Strategic Assessment). 

For areas within Melbourne’s Strategic Assessment, the NVPP regulates the protection and offset of 

communities listed for protection under the EPBC Act 1999 and State native vegetation. Current EPBC 

approvals conducted under part 10 of the EPBC Act are based on the retention and implementation of 

identified offsets and compensatory habitat for communities listed under the EPBC Act in this NVPP (refer 

to Table 1). 

Within the Riverdale NVPP, the requirement for protection and offset for the Natural Temperate Grassland of 

the Victorian Volcanic Plain, Golden Sun Moth habitat, Growling Grass Frog habitat, Striped Legless Lizard 

habitat and threatened flora, including Spiny Rice Flower as outlined in the draft Biodiversity Conservation 

Strategy (DSE 2011) in native vegetation has been considered as part of this NVPP. 

2.0 PURPOSE 


The purpose of the Riverdale Native Vegetation Precinct Plan is to: 

• Apply a holistic, landscape wide approach to retention and removal of native vegetation, within the 

Westbrook NVPP Area as identified in NVPP Map 1. 

• 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 Riverdale Precinct Structure Plan. 

• Ensure that native vegetation specified to be protected is consistent with conserving the ecological 

values of these areas and is in accordance with Melbourne’s Strategic Assessment (under part 10 of the 

Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) and Victoria’s Vegetation Management 

– a Framework for Action (DSE 2002). 

• Set out the works of other necessary actions required to offset the removal, destruction or lopping of 

native vegetation. 

• Streamline the planning approvals process through a Precinct wide landscape approach to native 

vegetation protection and management.

3.0 VEGETATION PROTECTION OBJECTIVES TO BE ACHIEVED 

The objectives of this Native Vegetation Precinct Plan are: 

• To protect and manage native vegetation shown as ‘to be protected’ including floristic communities 

and species listed under the State Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 and ecological communities and 

species listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. 

• To manage the native vegetation to be protected for conservation purposes and allow for passive 

recreation such as walking and cycling on the edge of conservation areas, where appropriate, without 

damaging native vegetation. 

• To protect the connectivity of native vegetation within the precinct and outside the precinct. 

• To protect and manage the habitat zones and scattered trees identified as ‘to be protected’, as they 

represent the genetic lineage of site-adapted species, function to link habitat across the landscape, and 

provide a focus for revegetation activities. 

• To maximise the ability of native vegetation to persist without human interception. 

• To protect and manage the long-term health and habitat value of the native vegetation specified to be 

protected in identified offset areas. 

• To provide for the protection of revegetated areas of native vegetation on offset sites as required by the 

responsible authority. 

3.1 Requirements under Melbourne’s Strategic Assessment 

The Victorian Government entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth Government, under 

section 146 of the EPBC Act, to conduct a strategic assessment of the potential impact of the ‘Delivering 

Melbourne’s newest sustainable communities’ on matters of national environmental significance (the 

Melbourne’s Strategic Assessment). 

This NVPP includes Federally listed native vegetation communities and species habitat that has been 

protected under this agreement as indicated by the column ‘EPBC Act listed ecological community’ in 

Tables 1 and 3 and by the column ‘Like for Like Requirements (EVC or threatened species) in Table 5. Further 

removal of these Federally listed native vegetation communities and species habitats (that are shown to be 

protected in this NVPP) is in breach of approval issued under the Melbourne’s Strategic Assessment and will 

require further consideration under the EPBC Act. 

4.0 THE NATIVE VEGETATION TO BE PROTECTED 

4.1 General Requirements for Native Vegetation to be Protected 


The native vegetation to be protected is described in NVPP Tables 1 and 2 and shown on NVPP Map 2 and 

should not be removed. 

The native vegetation shown as ‘to be protected’ is based on a landscape wide approach to retention and 

removal of native vegetation rather than a site by site approach. 

Decisions relating to the removal of areas of individual trees and / or areas of native vegetation have been 

made in a holistic manner taking into account habitat zones and scattered trees which are proposed to be 

protected. The ad hoc removal of native vegetation which is identified as ‘to be protected’ may undermine 

the holistic and landscape wide approach of the NVPP. 

In this NVPP, the protection area of a tree (including a tree in a habitat zone or a scattered tree) refers to an 

area of twice the canopy diameter of the tree(s) at its widest point. 

Protection of a scattered tree means that the protection area must be: 

• Protected from adverse impacts, grazing, burning and soil disturbance. 

• Managed to retain fallen timber, control weeds and provide intervention and or management if 

necessary to ensure adequate natural regeneration or planting can occur. 

• Protected from earthworks, compaction during construction and adverse modification of existing 

drainage patterns.

6 


These protection measures may be varied if adequate justification is provided and agreed to in writing by 

the Department of Sustainability and Environment. 

The following Habitat Zones in are identified to be protected in this NVPP: 

• Property 234 - Habitat Zones 889, 890 

• Property 243 - Habitat Zones 927, 928, 929 

• Property 247 - Habitat Zones 933, 934, 935, 936 


• Property 250 - Habitat Zones 941, 942 

• Property 252 - Habitat Zones 951, 952, 953, 954, 961, 962 

• Property 255 - Habitat Zones 974, 975, 976, 977, 978, 979, 980, 981 


• Property 323 - Habitat Zones 963, 965, 966, 967, 968, 969, 970, 971, 972 

• Road Reserve – Habitat Zone 987 

They are to be protected within the Growling Grass Frog corridor along the Werribee River, Davis Creek and 

the Sewells Road Reserve. 

Trails to be provided through and alongside the Growling Grass Frog Corridor or the Sewells Road Reserve 

are to be designed to minimise impacts to vegetation to the satisfaction of the Department of Sustainability 

and Environment. 

To minimise the risk to trees identified as ‘scattered trees to be protected’, having to be removed at a later 

time, public sue areas including playgrounds, barbeques etc should be located at a minimum distance of 15 

metres away from identified scattered trees so as not to pose a risk to personal safety or property 

4.2 Property Specific Requirements for Consideration of Applications to Remove 

Protected Native Vegetation 

Clause 52.16-3 allows and application to be made for the removal of protected native vegetation. This 

NVPP recognises that permits for further native vegetation removal may be reasonably sought for the land 

listed below: 

• Native vegetation shown on NVPP Map 2 to be protected will require a planning permit for removal. 

The vegetation concentrated along the Werribee River or in close proximity to it may be removed in 

relation to the construction of the bridge crossings shown on Plan 5 in the Riverdale Precinct Structure 

Plan; however removal must be kept to the minimum required for the project. Any removal must be to 

the satisfaction of the Department of Sustainability and Environment. 

• Offsets and compensatory habitat fees for the native vegetation removal will be in accordance with this 

NVPP and DSE’s Native Vegetation Time Stamping Data. 

22 May 2013 6:23 PM


4.3 Conditions for Subdivisions, Buildings and Works or Vegetation Removal within 50m 

of Native Vegetation to be Protected as Identified in NVPP Tables 1 & 2 and shown to 

be Protected on NVPP Map 2 of this Native Vegetation Precinct Plan 

The following conditions must be included on all planning permits for subdivision, buildings and works or 

vegetation removal within 50 metres of native vegetation identified ‘to be protected’ in NVPP Tables 1 and 

2 and on NVPP Map 2 of this NVPP unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Department of Sustainability 

and Environment: 

• Only the native vegetation which is identified for removal in the incorporated NVPP applying to the land 

may be removed, destroyed or lopped. 

• Prior to commencement of works within 15 metres of native vegetation identified as ‘native vegetation 

to be protected’ on NVPP Map 2 in this NVPP applying to the land, 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 all other native vegetation which have been identified as to be protected in the NVPP 

referred to in the Schedule to Clause 52.16 unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Department of 

Sustainability and Environment. 

• Any: 

• Works carried out in respect of any subdivision; 

• Construction of buildings and associated works; and 

• Removal, lopping or destruction of native vegetation on the land as authorised by the NVPP; 

must be carried out in accordance with all of the requirements set out in the incorporated NVPP applying 

to the land to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority. 

• Any construction stockpiles, fill and machinery must be placed away from areas supporting native 

vegetation and drainage lines 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) or updated version. 

• Any public open space infrastructure or trails are to be located outside a protection area of a scattered 

tree or Habitat Zone at an appropriate buffer distance. Public open space infrastructure provided within 

15 metres of native vegetation (including scattered trees and habitat zones) shown as to be protected 

must be constructed and designed to ensure that the native vegetation is protected from adverse 

impacts during construction unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Department of Sustainability 

and Environment. 

• To minimise the risk to trees identified as ‘scattered trees to be protected’, having to be removed at 

a later time, public use areas including playgrounds, barbeques etc are to be located so that they are 

not within the protection area of the scattered trees and therefore likely to present a structural failure 

hazard or pose a risk to personal safety or property. 

• No earthworks, compaction or modification of existing drainage patterns may be undertaken which 

present a risk to any remnant trees, understorey or revegetation areas.

5.0 NATIVE VEGETATION WHICH CAN BE REMOVED, DESTROYED OR 

LOPPED 

5.1 Conditions For Removal of Native Vegetation 

The native vegetation described in Table 3 and shown on Map 2 as native vegetation that ‘can be removed’, 

can be removed, destroyed or lopped under Clause 52.16-3 of the Wyndham Planning Scheme subject to 

the following conditions: 

1. Only the native vegetation which is identified for removal in the incorporated NVPP applying to the land 

may be removed, lopped or destroyed without a planning permit. 

2. Before removal, destruction or lopping of any native vegetation (identified by the Property Number in 

Map 2 of the Riverdale NVPP) the owner of the land from which the native vegetation is being removed 

must provide offsets for all native vegetation within that property in accordance with Table 3 and 

Table 5 unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Department of Sustainability and Environment. 

Removal of native vegetation must be offset to the satisfaction of the Department of Sustainability and 

Environment as follows: 

a. EVC Plains Grassland – by providing an allocated credit extract for credits from the Western 

Grasslands Reserve issued by the Department of Sustainability and Environment. 

b. For all other native vegetation by either: 

i. Providing an allocated credit extract issued by the Department of Sustainability and Environment 

for the extent of native vegetation removed; or 

ii. Preparing and submitting an Offset Plan to the satisfaction of the Department of Sustainability 

and Environment and have the Offset Plan approved by the Responsible Authority in accordance 

with Victoria’s Native Vegetation Management: A Framework for Action. 

3. Where an Offset Plan is approved: 

a. Before the removal, destruction or lopping of any native vegetation, the owner of the land from 

which the vegetation is being removed must arrange for the owner of the approved offset site to 

register and agreement on the land title securing the offset site in perpetuity. The owner of the 

land from which the vegetation is being removed must pay the reasonable costs of the preparation, 

execution and registration of the on-title agreement. The on-title security must provide for the 

implementation of the Offset Plan and be to the satisfaction of the Department of Sustainability and 

Environment. 

b. Offsets must be implemented according to the schedule of works in the Offset Plan to the satisfaction 

of the Department of Sustainability and Environment. 

4. Before the removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation, any native vegetation to be removed 

must clearly be marked on site to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority whilst works are being 

undertaken within the vicinity. 

5. Before the felling of any trees with nest or hollows the tree must be examined for fauna by a suitably 

qualified zoologist. If native fauna species are found, they must be salvaged and relocated where 

possible to the nearest suitable habitat, in consultation with the Department of Sustainability and 

Environment. 

6. Any construction stockpiles and machinery must be placed away from areas supporting native vegetation 

to be protected and drainage lines to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority. 

7. Prior to the commencement of any works, a highly visible vegetation protection fence must be erected 

around twice the canopy diameter of each scattered tree and more than 2 metres from all other native 

vegetation areas which have been identified as to be protected in this Native Vegetation Precinct Plan 

unless otherwise agrees to in writing by the Department of Sustainability and Environment and to the 

Satisfaction of the Responsible Authority. 

8. Prior to the removal of any native vegetation compensatory habitat fees for Spiny Rice Flower habitat 

within the lot must be provided to the satisfaction of the Department of Sustainability and Environment. 

All patches of native vegetation are deemed to be Spiny Rice Flower habitat in accordance with the 

Biodiversity Conservation Strategy. The fee for Spiny Rice Flower habitat within a lot is calculated based 

22 May 2013 6:23 PM

on the area of all native vegetation patches illustrated in plans and tables incorporated in the Riverdale 

Native Vegetation Precinct Plan. 

9. Prior to the commencement of any buildings or works or removal of any native vegetation, a contributory 

habitat fee for Growling Grass Frog Category 2 habitat on the land must be provided to the satisfaction 

of the Department of Sustainability and Environment. 

10. Where native vegetation removal will impact on an area identified on the Threatened Species Action 

Plan (Plan 7) in the Riverdale Precinct Structure Plan as Golden Sun Moth habitat the following condition 

applies: 

a. Prior to the removal of native vegetation compensatory habitat fees for Golden Sun Moth habitat 

within the lost must be provided to the satisfaction of the Department of Sustainability and 

Environment. The fee for Golden Sun Moth habitat within a lot is calculated based on the habitat 

area illustrated in Plan 7 Threatened Species Action Plan of the Riverdale PSP. 

11. Where native vegetation removal will impact on an area of land identified as potential habitat for 

Striped Legless Lizard on the Threatened Species Action Plan (Plan 7) of the Riverdale Precinct Structure 

Plan the following condition applies: 

a. The Salvage and Translocation of Striped Legless Lizard in the Urban Growth Areas of Melbourne: 

Strategic Approach (DSE 2011) and Salvage and Translocation of Striped Legless Lizard in the Urban 

Growth Areas of Melbourne: Operational Plan (DSE 2011) must be implemented to the satisfaction 

of the Secretary of the Department of Sustainability and Environment before, during and after 

the carrying out of any buildings or works or native vegetation removal and all specifications and 

requirements of the approved plan must be complied with. 

5.2 Offset Calculations 

The offset requirements for native vegetation which can be removed, destroyed or lopped are described in 

NVPP Tables 5 and 6. 

5.3 Procedures for the Collection of Any Payments 

No payments are necessary or specified.
