3. Records review 3.1 Search of public records 3.1.1 Certificates of title Land ownership records were reviewed to obtain evidence of previous land uses on the various parcels of land as the occupation of land owners is often included. While an occupation does not necessarily denote land use for a property, it can give a good indication of potential land use. Current certificates of title for all site properties were requested from the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE). Crown allotment land for which titles could not be obtained is listed in Table 4. Table 4 Crown allotment land Street Address Legal Description Location Donnybrook Road CRAIGIEBURN 3064 CA 2003 Kalkallo Parish The Merri Creek channel Site title information for significant parcels is listed in Table 5. Copies of current certificates of title are presented in Appendix B.

Nominees Pty Ltd (Market garden) Zaysung Pty Ltd (Gasoline Service Stations company) 12.3 9.6 14/07/89 Borsato Constructions Pty Ltd 12.9 Lavender Rain Pty Ltd (Cattle and sheep breeders and sellers) A search of Victoria EPA records, including the Priority Sites Register (EPA Victoria, 2012a) and the list of issued Certificates and Statements of Environmental Audit (EPA Victoria, 2012b), was performed to identify subject site or vicinity properties that have been listed as having been issued a cleanup notice or pollution abatement notice (relative to land and/or groundwater) or undergone a statutory environmental audit. No locations were identified on PSP Area 25 or within 2 km of the site. 33.3
3.1.3 Local government records The Hume City Council and City of Whittlesea council do not maintain contaminated site registers and requests for specific properties of interest based on review of historic aerial photographs or observations made during the site visit provided no information regarding potential on site or vicinity property contamination. 3.1.4 Other government records WorkSafe Victoria was contacted on 10 July 2012 regarding Dangerous Goods Licenses for site properties and responded that a Letter of Authorisation would be required from each property owner before a record search for that property could be conducted. Dangerous Goods Licenses permit storage and handling of dangerous goods, including flammable and combustible liquids, as defined in the 2000 Victoria Code of Practice for the Storage and Handling of Dangerous Goods. Letters of Authorisation from the site property owners have not been, and are not anticipated to be, provided for this desktop study and the lack of data regarding Dangerous Goods Licenses is considered to be a data gap. 3.1.5 Aerial photographs Aerial photographs dating back to 1963 were either provided by United Photo and Graphics in Blackburn, Victoria or viewed on Google Earth and reviewed to obtain information on the historic use and development of the site. No aerial photographic coverage was available for the northern third of the Area until 1979. A listing of the aerial photographs reviewed is presented in Error! Reference source not found.. Table 7 summarizes notable observations from each photograph. Copies of the historical aerial photographs from 1963 to 1998 are presented in Appendix D of this report.
