1. Introduction
1.1 Background
Biosis Pty Ltd was commissioned by Australia Pacific Airports Melbourne (APAM) to prepare an Ecological
Management Plan (EMP) for the replacement High Intensity Approach Lighting (HIAL) for the runway 27
approach area at Melbourne Airport.
Previously Biosis undertook a broader biodiversity assessment of the proposed footprint for works
associated with the replacement of all HIAL within Melbourne Airport (Biosis 2014). An objective of the Biosis
(2014) assessment was to provide biodiversity information for a broader HIAL project to be assessed as part
of a major development planning process. This was considered appropriate as the broader project had the
potential to impact on a number of matters of national environmental significance (MNES).
Subsequently the HIAL replacement project has been divided into smaller components and the Runway 27
HIAL replacement project is not considered to be a major development project. The rationale for this
(including pers. comm. from Paula Bradshaw, APAM) is as follows:
The project does not trigger any part of section 89 (meaning of a major airport development): the
project involves replacement of the existing high intensity lighting (HIAL) system at the end of Runway
27 and does not meet the definitions provided in s.89;
S.89 (m) the development does not have a significant environmental or ecological impact (as further
explained in this document); and
S.89 (n) the development does not significantly affect an area identified as environmentally significant
in the Environment Strategy. Section 11.2.8 of the Melbourne Airport Master Plan 2013, notes three
areas of environmental significance on airport grounds including the Annandale Grasslands, the Grey
Box Woodland and the areas surrounding Deep Creek and Moonee Ponds Creek. The HIAL 27 route
passes over Moonee Ponds Creek, but construction of proposed footings will occur either side of the
creek and will therefore not directly impact the creek area.
As such this project will not be assessed as part of a Major Development Plan.
As identified by Biosis (2014) the Runway 27 HIAL replacement project does encounter areas of native
grassland. The grassland is representative of the nationally significant ecological community Natural
Temperate Grassland of the Victorian Volcanic Plain (NTGVVP), which is listed as Critically Endangered under
the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
The proposed works will also span Moonee Ponds Creek, which includes habitat for the Growling Grass Frog a
species listed as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act.
The location of proposed works and native grassland vegetation is indicated in the GHD drawing attached
(SK002), with higher resolution aerial imagery provided in Figure 1.
As identified in the figures much of the vegetation around the existing lighting is dominated by introduced
grasses and herbs. This is not unexpected given the level of soil disturbance associated with the initial
installation of these lights and associated tracks. However, there are areas that have been recolonised by
indigenous grasses typical of the surrounding NTGVVP. While these areas do satisfy the definition of NTGVVP
and are contiguous with other areas of this community, the area to be impacted by the Runway 27 HIAL
replacement project has been disturbed in the past and does not represent high quality, species rich
examples of this vegetation type. DEWHA (2008: page 4) indicates that the guide for determining the
© Biosis 2016 – Leaders in Ecology and Heritage Consulting www.biosis.com.au 4
presence of NTGVVP suggests that poor quality patches (of NTGVVP) are not listed but if managed may be
regarded as part of the listed community. While no definition of poor quality is provided and similar
vegetation has been considered as NTGVVP, the history of disturbance around the existing HIAL facility and its
low diversity suggests it is a candidate for classification as poor quality native grassland.
The works required will include the replacement and installation of a number of elevated lights and
associated footings as well as construction of an elevated steel structure over Sunbury Road and Moonee
Ponds Creek. Installation of the footings will require excavation and ground preparation using lightweight
earth moving equipment at the location of the elevated lights. This will accommodate either pre-cast or cast
in-situ concrete footings. The lights will be powered and controlled by a series of primary and secondary
electrical cables that will be installed within a pit and conduit system alongside the elevated lights as well as
running across the elevated structure spanning Sunbury Road and Moonee Ponds Creek. The trenching for
the cables will be completed using 'cut and cover' excavation. A 2.7 metre wide construction zone has been
identified along the length of the HIAL where native grassland vegetation is present to minimise removal of
this vegetation and the overall construction footprint.
The total area of NTGVVP to be impacted during construction is 432 square metres or 0.0432 hectares.
Following trenching of the cables, the ground will be physically rehabilitated to its natural level allowing
recolonisation by native grass species. This will also be facilitated by the sowing of indigenous grass seed
from the same species present before construction. Except for the light footings, no other permanent
features, such as a road or track will be constructed as part of the development. The total area of permanent
grassland removal for footings and structures will be 19 square metres in area (GHD figure attached).
Under the definition of NTGVVP, an area of grassland which meets the definition of NTGVVP needs to be a
minimum of 500 square metres in extent (DSEWPaC 2011: page 22). While the broader area of grassland is
significantly greater than this, the impact on this community within the Runway 27 HIAL replacement project
has been minimised so that the impact will be below this threshold. This provides a measure of the
mitigation measures undertaken to minimise any impact to NTGVVP.
Under the significant impact guidelines for MNES a number of significant impact criteria are listed (DEH 2006:
page 13). In the context of the proposed works, the extent of NTGVVP within the airport and the proposed
implementation of this EMP it is considered unlikely that the project would trigger any of the significant
impact criteria listed, particularly given the existing history of disturbance at this location and the associated
mitigation measures identified in this EMP. The criteria are assessed as follows:
reduce the extent of an ecological community: While a small area identifiable as NTGVVP would be
impacted, impacts to this vegetation will not change the broader extent of occurrence for the
community.
fragment or increase fragmentation of an ecological community, for example by clearing vegetation for
roads or transmission lines: the proposed works occur on the disturbed margins of a broader area of
NTGVVP and would therefore not separate or fragment the broader representation of NTGVVP within
the airport.
adversely affect habitat critical to the survival of an ecological community: This area has not been
identified as a significant area of NTGVVP and its degraded nature suggests it is not habitat critical to
the persistence of NTGVVP.
modify or destroy abiotic (non-living) factors (such as water, nutrients, or soil) necessary for an ecological
community’s survival, including reduction of groundwater levels, or substantial alteration of surface water
drainage patterns: While the works will have a localised impact on soils supporting NTGVVP the
proposed works are not expected to have a broader impact on vegetation given the constrained
nature of the works and flat topography of the site.
© Biosis 2016 – Leaders in Ecology and Heritage Consulting www.biosis.com.au 5
cause a substantial change in the species composition of an occurrence of an ecological community,
including causing a decline or loss of functionally important species, for example through regular burning
or flora or fauna harvesting: The species poor nature of the existing areas identified as NTGVVP and
the proposed rehabilitation works with the same species provides a degree of confidence in achieving
appropriate revegetation to a very similar species composition.
cause a substantial reduction in the quality or integrity of an occurrence of an ecological community,
including, but not limited to:
-- assisting invasive species, that are harmful to the listed ecological community, to become established,
or
-- causing regular mobilisation of fertilisers, herbicides or other chemicals or pollutants into the ecological
community which kill or inhibit the growth of species in the ecological community: While the proposed
works will provide opportunities for accelerated weed invasion, the proposed revegetation
management works are expected to result in little change to the quality or integrity of this example of
NTGVVP.
interfere with the recovery of an ecological community: These areas of grassland are not subject to
active recovery works and are not part of any NTGVVP recovery program. The proposed works will
therefore not interfere with the recovery of this ecological community.
The threshold for referral of a project to the Department of the Environment (DoE) is reduced on
Commonwealth land to a significant impact on the environment in general (DSEWPaC 2013). In this instance
the limited and localised nature of the proposed works and the associated implementation of this EMP, are
not considered to result in a significant impact on the local environment. The self assessment process is
outlined in Figure 1 of DSEWPaC (2013). The environmental context of the development is such that it is
proposed to occur in an area subject to past physical disturbance, and while it has in part been recolonised by
indigenous species to the point where it satisfies the definition of NTGVVP, it represents a relatively poor
example of that community. The area of proposed impact has also been minimised to the extent where
impacts to NTGVVP have been reduced to an area of less than 500 square metres. The potential impacts
would be that the area becomes dominated by introduced species, however, proposed mitigation
management in the way of weed control works and revegetation effort, would only result in minor impacts.
Given the extent of natural recolonisation of disturbed ground within the airport ground, it is reasonable to
be confident of a good revegetation outcome given active management of ground disturbed by this project.
As part of the self assessment process (DSEWPaC 2103: Figure 1 page 6), APAM have utilised the advice
provided by Biosis to decide that the Runway 27 HIAL replacement project does not represent a significant
impact on the relevant MNES (NTGVVP) or the environment in general. The project would therefore be
implemented without referral to the DoE but will otherwise be subject to the protocols and requirements
outline by the EMP.
Biosis has prepared this EMP as a protocol for APAM to manage the potential impacts of proposed works on
features of ecological significance and sets out specific management strategies and practices that will ensure
that any potential impacts are avoided and/or mitigated.
All construction personnel are to be made aware of the ecological values within the study area and the
requirements for protection.
Biosis will induct the site foreman who will then be responsible for induction of all other contractors working
on the project.
The EMP will be made available for placement in site handbooks and use in contractor inductions.

2. Ecological Management Plan
2.1 Site induction
Site induction for all personnel working on site and sub-contractors, must be undertaken by the site
supervisor or Biosis botanist before personnel commence work.
Where works occur within the vicinity of native grassland (Figure 1), contractors are to be inducted so
that they are familiar with the locations of native grassland in order to avoid these areas during
works.
Where works occur within 200 m of Arundel Creek contractors are to be inducted so that they are
familiar with Growling Grass Frog and what to do if they encounter one during works (refer to the
Growling Grass Frog fact sheet attached in Appendix 1).
Details of attendance at the induction will be recorded for each person (Appendix 2). The induction
process will describe the location of copies of the EMP and will provide the contact details for the
Project Manager and Ecologist.
'Ask before Acting' will be emphasised and encouraged to help prevent incidents.
2.2 Natural Temperate Grassland of the Victorian Volcanic Plain – 'No-go
Areas'
Why is protection required?
Natural Temperate Grassland of the Victorian Volcanic Plain (NTGVVP) is a threatened ecological community
protected under Commonwealth legislation (EPBC Act).
Native grassland in airfield dominated by Wallaby Grass (NTGVVP)
© Biosis 2016 – Leaders in Ecology and Heritage Consulting www.biosis.com.au 8
Where is it needed?
The locations of NTGVVP in relation to the HIAL 27 works area are indicated in Figure 1 in yellow shading.
The project construction methodology has been designed to specifically minimise impacts on the protected
grassland community. A 2.7 metre construction corridor will be established where the construction works are
in the vicinity of the protected grassland community in order to minimise construction disturbance.
All site access, elevated light installation works and trenching is to be confined to this 2.7 metre wide zone.
What is involved?
1. All native grassland to be avoided is to be clearly marked on site. Prior to works commencing a Biosis
Botanist will assist the site supervisor mark out the boundaries of NTGVVP in the vicinity of relevant
works with high visibility materials, star pickets and/or flagging tape to provide a visible barrier to the
'no-go zones'.
2. All construction workers are to be inducted as to the location and purpose of the no-go zones.
3. No vehicles, machinery or materials are to enter the marked areas to avoid damage to the native
grassland.
4. No vehicles or machinery are to drive across patches of native grassland to reach site works areas.
Vehicles and machinery must go around these areas to avoid trampling of vegetation and
disturbance to the soil.
5. Biosis can be contacted during works if there are any questions about the native grassland or the
EMP.
2.3 Growling Grass Frog
Why is protection required?
The Growling Grass Frog is threatened in Australia and protected under Commonwealth legislation.
Growling Grass Frogs have been recorded in Moonee Ponds Creek, which is located to the east of Sunbury
Road. The frogs use terrestrial habitat (e.g. grassy paddocks) for foraging and may reside in grass tussocks
and other ground layer debris up to 200 m from streams.
Excavation of footings within this area either side of Moonee Ponds Creek therefore has the potential to
disturb terrestrial habitat for the nationally vulnerable Growling Grass Frog.
Where is it needed?
Where site disturbance works occur within 200 m either side of Moonee Ponds Creek.
What is involved?
To prevent accidental mortality of frogs during the construction works, it is recommended that a zoologist
search the area within the works and plant manoeuvring zones to capture and relocate any frogs that might
be present.
Biosis will undertake this work as they hold all necessary permits for the humane capture and relocation of
Growling Grass Frogs from impacted areas to nearby undisturbed habitat.
© Biosis 2016 – Leaders in Ecology and Heritage Consulting www.biosis.com.au 9
The protocol for Growling Grass Frog is as follows:
A Biosis zoologist is to be present to supervise any site disturbance works within 200 m of Moonee
Ponds Creek.
The Project Manager is to notify Biosis of start date a minimum of 1 week prior to works.
Biosis zoologist is to be present each morning prior to site disturbance works to look for frogs within
the works areas (once frog checks have been completed, the zoologist does not need to be present
for the rest of the day).
Biosis will capture and release any Growling Grass Frogs found in accordance with our management
authorisation under the Wildlife Act 1975.
Following excavation of column footing holes by the Contractor, holes are to be backfilled on the
same day they are excavated.
If a Growling Grass Frog is identified within the works area when a Biosis ecologist is not on site, stop
work in the vicinity of the frog and call the Project Manager or Biosis for instructions on how to
proceed.
Refer to the Growling Grass Frog fact sheet attached in Appendix 1.
2.4 Post construction rehabilitation
Physical site attributes
After the replacement installation of the HIAL for runway 27 is complete all construction materials and waste
will be removed. If the ground level of areas impacted by works contrast with the pre-construction condition
(i.e. the soil surface appears as a mound or a depression) then the natural surface levels will be restored.
Facilitating revegetation
Ground disturbed during construction will then be sown with indigenous grass seed (Appendix 3) collected
from the local area (i.e. from the Victorian Volcanic Plain and within 100 km of the airport). This is consistent
with the species identified in the listing advice for this community. Sowing will occur when soil moisture
conditions are likely to be favourable for germination (i.e. from late winter to early spring) and grass
establishment. If the disturbed ground is colonised by introduced species, these will be subject to weed
control works until the cover of indigenous grass species is considered by an experienced grassland ecologist
to be comparable to the surrounding areas of NTGVVP.
All areas of NTGVVP impact would therefore be rehabilitated to support a species composition and cover very
similar to the pre-disturbance condition.

Growling Grass Frog fact sheet
General Appearance
The Growling Grass Frog is recognisable by its warty back, large size (up to 10cm), dull green to olive green
back (with most individuals appearing a bright olive- green) and obvious eardrum (dark circular disc just
behind the head). Sometimes, the frogs appear as darker brown.
Habitat
Growling Grass Frogs inhabit a range of habitats including creeks, drains, wetlands and dams. The Growling
Grass Frog can sometimes be seen basking amongst water plants during sunny weather but is most often
encountered sheltering under logs or rocks. It can move long distances and may be found away from water.
Similar species
The Spotted Marsh Frog looks very similar to the Growling Grass Frog but is much smaller.
