1. INTRODUCTION

This is the Manzeene Village, Lara Native Vegetation Precinct Plan (NVPP) listed

under the Schedule to Clause 52.16 of the Greater Geelong City Council Planning

Scheme. The removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation in accordance

with this Native Vegetation Precinct Plan, does not require a permit provided

conditions and requirements specified in this Native Vegetation Precinct Plan are

met.

The Manzeene Village NVPP applies to all land presented in Figure 1 (the

precinct). Land parcels within the precinct are also presented in Figure 1 and the

corresponding addresses, lots and plan numbers are provided in Table 1. The

proposed precinct covers approximately 60-hectare of land consisting of larger

rural living size properties on and around Manzeene Avenue, Lara. The Manzeene

Village development is a project consisting of 23 landholders in a joint

management structure.

The precinct is west of the town centre of Lara and has been identified in the City

of Greater Geelong’s Lara Structure Plan as an area of future residential growth.

The Manzeene Village precinct is bound on the east by established residential

development, Patullos Road to the south, rural/agricultural land to the west

(O’Hallorans Road) and Windermere Road to the north.

2. PURPOSE

The purpose of the Manzeene Village, Lara Native Vegetation Precinct Plan is to:

Specify the native vegetation to be protected and the native vegetation that

can be removed, destroyed or lopped.

Ensure that areas set aside to protect native vegetation are managed to

conserve ecological values in accordance with the Greater Geelong City

Council Precinct Structure Plan.

Ensure that the removal, destruction or lopping of native vegetation specified

to be retained is consistent with conserving the ecological values of these

areas and is in accordance with no net loss objectives as set out in Permitted

clearing of native vegetation- Biodiversity Assessment Guidelines (DEPI 2013).

Set out the works or other necessary actions required to offset the removal,

destruction or lopping of native vegetation.

Streamline the planning approvals process through a landscape approach to

native vegetation protection and management.


Page | 5

3. NATIVE VEGETATION TO BE PROTECTED

No native vegetation (remnant patches or scattered trees) is to be retained under

this Native Vegetation Precinct Plan.


Page | 6

4. NATIVE VEGETATION THAT CAN BE REMOVED, DESTROYED OR

LOPPED

The native vegetation described in Table 2 and shown as native vegetation that

can be removed in Figure 2 can be removed, destroyed or lopped, subject to the

requirements and conditions set out below as allowed under Clause 52.16.

Habitat zones B, E, F, G, I, L, M, N, O, R, V and Y constitute a Federal EPBC Act

listed community: Natural Temperate Grassland of the Victorian Volcanic Plains,

and can be removed subject to the approval of the Commonwealth Department of

the Environment.

5. OFFSET CALCULATIONS

Offset Calculations

Vegetation offsets specified in Table 3 (summary) and Table 4 (detailed) of this

Plan are to be located on an appropriate third party offset site. This site is to be

identified through the Department of Environments and Primary Industries’ (DEPI)

Bushbroker or the City of Greater Geelong.

6. REQUIREMENTS

6.1. General requirements for removal, destruction or lopping of native

vegetation

Any vegetation removal and disposal must not cause damage to vegetation

stands to be retained and to drainage lines and/or watercourses; and

The vegetation to be removed in accordance with this Plan must be marked on

the site to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.

6.2. Specific requirements

No specific requirements apply regarding biodiversity issues within the Native

Vegetation Precinct Plan.


Page | 14

7. CONDITIONS

The following conditions apply from the gazettal of this Native Vegetation Precinct

Plan.

All earthworks must be undertaken in a manner that will minimise soil erosion

and adhere to Construction Techniques for Sediment Pollution Control (EPA

1991);

Only indigenous plants of local provenance may be used in revegetation works

of conservation areas;

Water run-off must be designed to ensure that native vegetation to be

retained is not compromised;

Any native vegetation to be removed (in accordance with this Native

Vegetation Precinct Plan) must be clearly marked on site to the satisfaction of

the Responsible Authority whilst works are being undertaken within the

vicinity;

Prior to the issuing of the Statement of Compliance for any relevant stage of

subdivision, evidence that an offset for any native vegetation removed has

been secured for to the satisfaction of the responsible authority. This offset

must meet the offset requirements set out in this Native Vegetation Precinct

Plan and be in accordance with the requirements of Permitted clearing of

native vegetation – Biodiversity assessment guidelines and the Native

vegetation gain scoring manual. Offset evidence can be either:

o A security agreement, to the required standard, for the offset site or

sites, including a 10 year offset management plan; or

o A credit register extract from the Native Vegetation Credit Register.

Before works start, a high visibility vegetation protection fencing must be

erected around each scattered tree identified to be retained. This fence will

protect the tree by demarcating the tree retention zone and must be erected

at a radius of 12 x the diameter at breast height to a maximum of 15 metres

but no less than 2 metres from the base of the trunk. Except with the written

consent of the responsible authority, within the tree retention zone:

o No vehicular or pedestrian access, trenching or soil excavation is to

occur;

o No storage or dumping of tools, equipment or waste is to occur; and

o No entry and exit pits for underground services are to be constructed.

Before works start, high visibility vegetation protection fencing must be

erected around all remnant patches of native vegetation to be retained on

site. This fence must be erected around the patch at a distance of 2 metres

from the retained native vegetation. Except with the written consent of the

responsible authority, within the tree retention zone:

o No vehicular or pedestrian access, trenching or soil excavation is to

occur;

o No storage or dumping of tools, equipment or waste is to occur.
