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 RIVERDALE NATIVE VEGETATION PRECINCT PLAN 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. 5
