AVIRA Conceptual Framework Annett and Adamson (2008) describe a conceptual framework for an asset-based approach to natural resource management investment (refer to Figure 2.1). Figure 1 - The Asset-Based Approach Conceptual Framework The conceptual framework for AVIRA has been adapted from this framework and covers the first four stages. The first three stages are described in the following sections (and detailed in Figure 2.2 and Table 2.1). The fourth stage (risk assessment) is described in AVIRA Risk Assessment Process (Peters 2009) and summarised in Part F of this report. The final two stages (covering prioritisation, planning and investment) were undertaken outside of AVIRA for the RWSs. Defining Assets Assets are described as the biophysical elements of our environment that are valued by people for a variety of reasons. To determine the assets and associated values of waterways, the following asset categorisation steps have been adopted. Asset Classes Aquatic asset classes can be divided into river reaches, wetlands, estuaries, groundwater and marine. Ocean waters are considered outside the scope of AVIRA and hence are not considered any further. In addition, due to the current lack of knowledge and information regarding groundwater, this asset class will only be considered as it relates to the condition of river reaches, wetlands and estuaries.
Lake Albacutya; Port Phillip Bay and Bellarine Peninsula; Western District Lakes; and Western Port. Valuing Ramsar Sites To be listed as a wetland of International Importance, or a ‘Ramsar site’, wetlands must meet one or more internationally accepted criteria in relation to their zoology, botany, ecology, hydrology or limnology and importance to waterfowl. Therefore, only those waterways specifically listed in a Ramsar Site Strategic Management Plan as key features of a Ramsar site will be considered. AVIRA Metric - International Significance (Ramsar Sites) Based on the above, International Significance (Ramsar Sites) value was scored using the following metric: High Value Waterway Descriptor Data Descriptor Yes International Significance – listed as a key feature of a Ramsar site Listed No Not listed as a key feature of a Ramsar site Not Listed Data Sources: Ramsar Site Strategic Management Plans Australian Wetlands Database International Significance - East Asian-Australasian Flyway Sites Background Australia provides critical non-breeding habitat for millions of migratory waterbirds each year. Migratory waterbirds include species such as plovers, sandpipers, stints and curlews. The corridor through which these waterbirds migrate is known as the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. To ensure their conservation, the Australian Government has fostered international cooperation through the recently launched East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership. Under the Flyway Partnership, the site network for shorebirds has been combined into a single network, referred to as the East Asian–Australasian Flyway Site Network. There are 17 sites in Australia that are listed in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway Site Network with five sites occurring in Victoria, namely: Corner Inlet; Western Port; Port Phillip Bay (Western Shoreline) and Bellarine Peninsula; Shallow Inlet Marine and Coastal Park; and Discovery Bay Coastal Park.
C - 249 parks and reserves D - 495 parks and reserves E - 1922 reserves The highest priorities are those parks and reserves in Park Groups A1 and A2 (refer to Appendix E). To determine which waterways within these Park Groups should be considered as key features, it is recommended that CMAs and Melbourne Water consult with regional Parks Victoria staff (using the waterways cited in park management plans as a preliminary list). AVIRA Metric – State Significance (Victorian Parks and Reserves) Based on the above, State Significance (Victorian Parks and Reserves) value was scored using the following metric: High Value Waterway Descriptor Data Descriptor Yes State Significance - key feature of a park or reserve listed within Park Groups A1 or A2 * Park A1 or A2 No Not a key feature of a park or reserve listed within Park Groups A1 or A2 Not Park A1 or A2 Data Sources: Parks Victoria MS Access Database Parks Victoria Management Plans, Parks Notes, etc. Local knowledge * Some waterways will not be linked to ISC reaches. State Significance - Victorian Heritage Sites Background Places and objects included in the Heritage Register are generally considered to be of 'state-wide' significance. In other words, of importance to the understanding of Victorian history. The types of places included on the Victorian Heritage Register include: buildings and places; objects; gardens and trees; cemeteries; precincts; archaeological places and relics; and shipwrecks, relics and protected zones. Valuing Victorian Heritage Sites There are 1,783 places listed in Victoria. Of these places, no attempt has been made to identify the number with waterways listed as key features. Therefore, it is recommended that the CMAs and
Valuing Important Bird Habitats Measure 1 - Important Bird Areas Important Bird Areas (IBAs) are sites of global bird conservation importance and are priority areas for bird conservation. Each IBA meets one of four global criteria used by BirdLife International. The following IBAs are located in Victoria: Cheetham & Altona Anderson's Inlet Werribee & Avalon Avoca Plains Barmah - Millewa Bellarine Wetlands Victorian Box-Ironbark Carrum Wetlands Corner Inlet Discovery Bay to Picanninnie Ponds Gabo & Tullaberga Island Gippsland Lakes Lake Buloke Lake Corangamite Complex Lawrence Rocks Little Desert Lower Snowy & Brodribb Rivers Murray-Sunset, Hattah & Annuello Nadgee to Mallacoota Inlet Natimuk-Douglas North Victorian Wetlands Otway Ranges Patho Plains Phillip Island Port Fairy to Warrnambool Pukapunyal Riverland Shallow Inlet Swan Bay & Port Phillip Bay Islands Terrick Terrick woodlands Wandown Westernport Bay Wilson's Prom Islands Wyperfeld, Big Desert & Ngarkat Yambuk Victorian Alps Descriptor Data Descriptor Important bird area Important Not considered to be an important bird area Not Important Measure 2 - Migratory Shorebird Sites In addition to the five internationally significant shorebird sites occurring in Victoria (refer to Section 4.2), Birds Australia have listed an additional 12 sites considered important to migratory shorebirds (Birds Australia ~2009), namely: Lough Calvert Lake Martin Lake Murdeduke Ocean Grove to Barwon Heads Gippsland Lakes Port Fairy to Warrnambool coast Lake Tutchewop, Kerang Lake Buloke Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands Anderson Inlet Hazelwood Cooling Pond Lake Hindmarsh
