Consult with the City of Melbourne, the City of Port Phillip, the City of Stonnington, the Shrine of Remembrance and Shrine Trustees, University of Melbourne and Heritage Victoria as applicable. Policy documents that should be referenced to re-establish trees and valued landscape character include: The City of Melbourne’s Tree Retention and Removal Policy and Urban Forest Strategy, South Yarra Urban Forest Precinct Plan, Central City Urban Forest Precinct Plan and Carlton Urban Forest Precinct Plan (excluding sections 8.2 and 8.3) The City of Port Phillip’s Community Amenity Local Law No. 1 and Greening Port Phillip – An Urban Forest Approach The City of Stonnington’s General Local Law 2008 (No 1) and City of Stonnington Street Tree Strategy Any associated precinct plans Specific policies of the Domain Parklands Conservation Management Plan for trees within Domain Parklands Shrine of Remembrance Conservation Management Plan (Lovell Chen, 2010) or any future review and the Shrine of Remembrance Landscape Improvement Plan (rush Wright Associates, 2010) South African Soldiers Memorial Conservation Management Plan (in preparation, Context, 2016) The preferred future character of the University of Melbourne, for in the grounds of the University of Melbourne. The re-establishment of trees must also consider the contribution to creation of habitat corridors and linkages where possible.

Hydrology, water quality and waste management: To protect waterways and waterway function and surface water and groundwater quality in accordance with statutory objectives, to identify and prevent potential adverse environmental effects resulting from the disturbance of contaminated or material and to manage excavation spoil and other waste in accordance with relevant best practice principles C1 Prior to construction of main works or shafts, prepare and implement a Spoil Management Plan (SMP) in accordance with MMRA’s Spoil Management Strategy and relevant regulations, standards and best practice guidance. The SMP shall be developed in consultation with and to the satisfaction of the EPA. The SMP will include but is not limited to the following: Applicable regulatory requirements Identifying nature and extent of (clean fill and contaminated spoil) across all precincts Roles and responsibilities Identification of management measures for handling and transport of spoil for the protection of health and the environment Identification, design and development of specific environmental management for temporary stockpile areas Identifying suitable sites for re-use, management or disposal of any spoil Monitoring and reporting requirements Identifying locations and extent of any prescribed industrial waste (PIW) and characterising PIW spoil prior to excavation Identifying suitable sites for disposal of any PIW.

protect waterways and waterway function and surface water and groundwater quality in accordance with statutory objectives, to identify and prevent potential adverse environmental effects resulting from the disturbance of contaminated or material and to manage excavation spoil and other waste in accordance with relevant best practice principles GW2 Develop a groundwater model in a process that involves ongoing referral to the Independent Environmental Auditor consistent with the Australian Groundwater Modelling Guidelines (Barnett et al, 2012). Apply the model for the detailed design phase to predict impacts associated with any changes to construction techniques or operational design features proposed during detailed design, and reconfirm that the Environmental Performance Requirements and mitigation measures are sufficient to mitigate impacts from changes in groundwater levels, flow and quality. The groundwater model should be updated to address comprehensively; transient calibration, aquifer specific storage parameter values and their justification, prediction of cumulative impacts during construction and uncertainty assessments. Undertake monitoring during construction to ensure that predictions are accurate and mitigation measures are appropriate. All GW001 to GW059 GW3 Develop and implement a Groundwater Management Plan (GMP) detailing groundwater management approaches to address the predicted impacts to groundwater dependent values during construction. The GMP must be based on the detailed design phase groundwater model, and should include the following details: Approach to collection, treatment and disposal of groundwater collected during construction in accordance with the MMRA Groundwater Disposal Strategy Identifying and if necessary, specifying mitigation measures to protect groundwater dependent vegetation during periods of drawdown An approach identified in consultation with the EPA so that contaminant migration cause no significant impacts on beneficial uses and vapour intrusion into underground structures, and establish appropriate monitoring networks to confirm effectiveness of approach Methods for minimising drawdown in areas of known PASS and establishing appropriate monitoring networks to confirm effectiveness of approach All GW001 to GW059
