NOTES: 1.

The Primary Conservation Zone provides maximum protection for the most important areas of habitat for the Growling Grass Frog. It will include existing and proposed dedicated Growling Grass Frog wetlands and other important wetland habitats, fringing terrestrial zones, critical terrestrial foraging habitat and dispersal routes, and existing native vegetation. 2. The Secondary Conservation Zone provides other wetland habitats and terrestrial foraging habitat for the Growling Grass Frog. This zone will include mown/slashed short grass, sparse trees, shrubs and grasses, potentially suitable wetland habitats and existing native vegetation. This zone may be utilised for low intensity passive recreation where this does not compromise conservation outcomes. 3. The Water Management Zone may provide for the construction and management of stormwater treatment infrastructure, including wetlands, swales and sediment ponds, to the satisfaction of DEPI. 4. Infrastructure or works, other than shown in this plan or associated with the conservation of the Growling Grass Frog or native vegetation, are not suitable within the Primary Conservation Zone. Any such infrastructure or works within this zone requires DEPI’s approval. 5. Infrastructure associated with low intensity passive recreation, such as built structures, hard surfaces, paths, lighting and mulched areas, must be placed a minimum of 30m from the edge of the Primary Conservation Zone and outside the tree protection zone of scattered trees, unless shown on this plan. Lighting must be designed and baffled to prevent light spill and glare into this zone. 6. Any planting and revegetation must be consistent with DEPI’s requirements. 7. Existing native vegetation must be protected and retained unless otherwise approved by DEPI. 8. Refer to the Werribee River Shared Trail Strategy for more information on the planning and design of the shared path. 9. A Fire Management Plan is to be prepared for the conservation area to the satisfaction of the Country Fire Authority. 10. Drainage from stormwater treatment infrastructure must be designed to minimise impacts on the biodiversity values of the conservation area. 11. The conservation area is to be designed and managed as a ‘dog on-lead’ area.
