Yellow-gum woodland with grass and sedge understorey occur on the plains north of Armstrong Creek. Riparian buffer distances reflect the many benefits riverbank vegetation has on water quality, bank stability, salinity, aquatic habitat, and terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity. Clearing within the riparian buffer distance around certain wetlands or in or within 20m of a prescribed stream generally is not considered best practice because it is deemed to cause negative impacts on water quality. Roadsides throughout the area retain important remnants of grassy woodland dominated by Drooping Sheoak, Bellarine Yellow-gum, River Red Gum and other native trees. All roadside native vegetation is considered to be of at least regional significance, and therefore to be retained and enhanced. Most are covered by existing Vegetation Protection Overlays (VPOs). Excluding development from these areas allows the most significant ecological values of the study area, for flora and fauna, to be identified, reserved for management and protection, and in several cases for use as multiple-use parkland and greenways. Several of the native vegetation remnants are of the rarest and most threatened kind (Bellarine Yellow-gum woodland on Drews Road and Barwarre Road; River Red Gum woodland on Baenchs Lane), and are sensitive to disturbance—these will be set aside for management for conservation with controlled public access. Most other remnants are either somewhat degraded or linear in nature, or both; these areas are amenable to multiple uses and less controlled public access. Iconic species and communities of the growth area The following species of flora and fauna are representative of the surviving indigenous biodiversity of the Armstrong Creek study area. Many are paramount in supporting the ‘area character’, and are ideal candidates for inclusion in conservation and re-establishment programs. Bellarine Yellow-gum – Endangered tree species confined to Otway Plain (OtP) Bioregion sections of the study area; high value remnants at Drews Road, Barwarre Road and the corner of Horseshoe Bend Road and Lake Road; good horticultural potential as ornamental planting species throughout the OtP sections of the study area River Red Gum – many old growth specimens across the Victorian Volcanic Plain (VVP) Bioregion sections of the study area, including the Armstrong Creek floodplain; good horticultural potential as ornamental planting species throughout the VVP sections of the study area ARMSTRONG CREEK URBAN GROWTH PLAN / VOLUME 1 (ADOPTED 13 MAY 2008, AMENDED MAY 2010) 26
Drooping Sheoak – as for above species, but occurs on both OtP and VVP substrates Blackthorn, Cherry Ballart, Blackwood, Harlequin Mistletoe, Studley Park Gum, Swamp Gum - ditto Native grassland plants – grasses, lilies, etc. – Kangaroo Grass, Common Tussock-grass, Wallaby-grasses, Swamp Wallaby-grasses, Wheat Grass, Spear-grasses, Chocolate Lily, Black-anther Flax-lily, Yellow Rush-lily, Milkmaids, Mat-rushes Native daisies – Milky Beauty-heads, Scaly Buttons, Common Everlasting, Fireweeds Plains Grassy Woodland Riparian Woodland Wetland – Reeds and Cumbungi, Sedges and Rushes, Tangled Lignum Waterbirds – herons, egrets, ibis, ducks, swans, waders, etc. Woodland birds – honeyeaters, Willie Wagtail, Australian Magpie, Grey Butcherbird, parrots (cockatoos, rosellas, lorikeets, etc.) Growling Grass Frog, other frogs, Glossy Grass Skink Water-rat, Echidna and Swamp Wallaby Remnant vegetation conservation value The remnant native vegetation has been categorised according to its conservation value, as follows: Very high conservation significance, highest level of constraint, irreplaceable values High conservation significance, but amenable to passive recreation use in part or whole Moderate – high conservation significance, but degraded to some extent and amenable to passive recreation; some could be offset if lost Low – moderate conservation significance, can be offset if lost ARMSTRONG CREEK URBAN GROWTH PLAN / VOLUME 1 (ADOPTED 13 MAY 2008, AMENDED MAY 2010) 27
