PART 1 – ASSESSMENT

This Cultural Heritage Management Plan (CHMP) has been carried out in relation to a

proposed residential village at 92 Elizabeth Avenue, Rosebud West (Lot B on PS401415),

in the local government authority of Mornington Peninsula Shire (Parish: Wannaeue). The

CHMP has been sponsored by Watermark Village Pty Ltd (ABN 105 648 557, ACN 11 105

648 557) (Appendix 1). The activity area comprises areas of cultural heritage sensitivity as

defined in the Aboriginal Heritage Regulations 2007 (Regulation 23 – land within 200m of a

named waterway (Chinaman’s Creek), Regulation 37 – dunes, and Regulation 38 – sand

sheets), and the activity is a high impact activity (Regulation 46 (1) – Subdivision of land).

The activity area is located in Rosebud West, approximately 60km south of Melbourne on

the Mornington Peninsula. The activity area is bound by Residential development to the

north and east, Elizabeth Avenue to the northeast, Hiscock Road to the south and former

landfill to the west (Maps 1-2).

This CHMP has been prepared to cover the following activities:

a 2 lot village and wetland (Map 4a);

a 99 lot residential village and wetland (Map 4b); and ,

a residential village comprising of 163 dwellings and wetland (Map 4c).

The activity area is owned and managed by the sponsor.

Andrea Murphy and Andrew Morris (Archaeology At Tardis Pty Ltd) are the cultural

heritage advisors and authors of this plan. Andrea Murphy holds an Honours degree in

archaeology and has over twenty years’ experience in all facets of cultural heritage

management. Andrew Morris holds an Honours degree in archaeology and has seven

years’ experience in cultural heritage management (see Appendix 5).

There are no previously registered Aboriginal heritage places within the activity area, and

no Aboriginal cultural heritage places within 50m of the activity area boundaries.

There is one previously registered Aboriginal cultural heritage place within 200m of the

activity area boundary (stone artefact scatter VAHR7821-0854). There are no other

Aboriginal cultural heritage places within 500m of the activity area boundary.

There is no Registered Aboriginal Party (RAP) in relation to the activity area. A Notice of

Intent to Prepare a Cultural Heritage Management Plan (NOI) was submitted to the Office

of Aboriginal Affairs Victoria (OAAV) on 7th

November, 2014. The OAAV notified the

sponsor on 7th

November, 2014 that they have allocated this CHMP the number 13320

(Appendix 1).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

iv

The Boonwurrung Foundation Limited (BWFL) and the Bunurong Land and Sea

Association Inc. (BLSA) hold current RAP applications which include the activity area. The

Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation held a previous RAP application that

included the activity area, however this was declined by the VAHC on 1st

September, 2011.

The OAAV considers all three groups to represent Traditional Owners in the region;

therefore both groups were consulted throughout the assessment.

This CHMP is a medium-sized activity as defined by the Aboriginal Heritage Regulations

2007, and comprises a desktop, standard and complex assessment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

v

DESKTOP ASSESSMENT (SECTION 5)

The activity area has been subject to previous ground surface survey (Murphy

2006);

The activity area comprises areas of cultural heritage sensitivity as defined in the

Aboriginal Heritage Regulations 2007 (Regulation 23 – land within 200m of a

named waterway (Chinaman’s Creek Drain), Regulation 37 – dunes, and

Regulation 38 – sand sheets), and the activity is a high impact activity (Regulation

46 (1) – Subdivision of land).

There are no previously registered Aboriginal heritage places within the activity

area, and no Aboriginal cultural heritage places within 50m of the activity area

boundaries.

There is one previously registered Aboriginal cultural heritage place within 200m of

the activity area boundary (stone artefact scatter VAHR7821-0854). There are no

other Aboriginal cultural heritage places within 500m of the activity area boundary.

There are nineteen previously registered Aboriginal heritage places within the

geographic region (Appendix 2).

Site types which have been previously found throughout the geographic region are:

stone artefact scatters (n=13 (68%)), shell middens (n=4 (21%)) and two object

collections (n=2 (11%))

Soil profiles within the activity area will likely be composed of deep sands in dunes,

and shallow silts and overlying clay deposits in the swamp;

The most likely place type within the activity area will be low density stone artefact

scatters in a sub-surface context, and will likely be composed of quartz, silcrete

and quartzite, basalt or marine flint;

Due to historic vegetation removal, there is no possibility for Aboriginal scarred

trees to exist within the activity area;

The activity area has suffered disturbance via historic clearing of trees, repeated

ploughing and cropping, grazing and erosion, therefore the integrity of any

archaeological material within the activity area will be poor.

The following model predicts the likely Aboriginal cultural heritage values within the activity

area are presented below. The relevant information for the model is presented in Table 4:

1. The dunes in the north are considered to have low to moderate potential for

Aboriginal cultural heritage, primarily stone artefact scatters and shell middens.

2. The flat and low lying Tootgarook Swamp, which comprises the southern two-thirds

(approx.) of the activity area is unlikely to contain Aboriginal cultural heritage.

3. Place-types unlikely to be present include earth features, quarries, rock art and

stone features.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

vi

4. Stone artefact scatters

Extremely low density stone artefact scatters are most likely to occur in

association with middens on dunes, rises, undulations and sand sheets,

although they can also be found on the plain.

Artefact scatters are typically dominated by flakes and angular fragments.

Artefact raw materials are dominated by chert/ flint, silcrete, basalt and

quartz.

Artefacts have been found to a maximum depth of 60cm in sandy profiles

(typically residuals from bioturbation) with the majority being located

between 20 – 40cm in depth.

Due to the nature of disturbance no high integrity occupation deposits are

expected.

Stone artefact scatters likely date to the Middle -Late Holocene to Contact.

5. Shell Middens

Shell middens are most likely to occur on sandy profiles on dunes, rises,

undulations and sand sheets, although they can also be found on the plain.

The most common species of shellfish likely to be found will be rocky shore

species Mytilus, Subninella, Chiton & Limpet and sandy shore species

Katelysia & Donax.

Due to the impact of bioturbation and the nature of past historic disturbance

within the activity area no high integrity occupation deposits are expected.

VAHR 7821-0755 charcoal sample dated to 6622 +/- 87 BP (Wk-22925).

Shell middens will likely date to the Middle -Late Holocene.

6. Scarred Trees

Due to historic vegetation removal, there is no possibility for Aboriginal

scarred trees to exist within the activity area;

7. The activity area has been subject to ground disturbance via vegetation clearance,

ploughing, long term grazing and stock trampling.

8. Ground disturbance reduces the spatial and temporal integrity of stone artefact

scatters and shell middens, and consequently reduces their scientific significance.

9. It is unlikely that any places above moderate scientific significance are present.

10. Human Remains

There is a potential for human burials to occur in any sandy

environment.

Arboreal burials will not be possible given the level of historical

vegetation clearance.

Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Prediction Model for the Activity Area and Implications for this Investigation

The results of the desktop assessment have been used to assess the likelihood of the

activity area to contain Aboriginal cultural heritage. The most likely place types to occur

within the activity area are stone artefact scatters. Table 4 assesses the potential of the

activity area to contain Aboriginal cultural heritage.

STANDARD ASSESSMENT (SECTION 6)

The desktop assessment (Section 5) has shown that it is reasonably possible that

Aboriginal cultural heritage is present in the activity area, and therefore a standard

assessment is required.

The activity area was subject to ground surface survey in accordance with proper

archaeological practice (Burke & Smith 2004).

Ground surface survey was restricted to areas which will be subject to impact

associated with the activity (ie northern portion (Map 10).

No obstacles physical or otherwise constrained the effectiveness of the standard

assessment.

For the majority of the activity area, ground surface visibility was very poor (<1%),

and total effective survey coverage was <1%, which is very poor (Map 11).

No Aboriginal cultural heritage was identified in the surveyed area.

No caves, rockshelters, grinding grooves, quarry sites or shell middens were

identified during the ground surface survey of the activity area and no mature native

vegetation which had the potential to exhibit cultural scarring was located within the

surveyed area.

The ground surface survey revealed three landforms within the activity area;

elevated dune (Survey Unit 1), moderate and steep sloping land (Survey Unit 2),

and low lying swamp (Survey Unit 3).

The elevated dune (Survey Unit 1) has moderate archaeological potential for stone

artefact scatters and shell middens, the moderate and steep slopes (Survey Unit 2)

have low archaeological potential for stone artefact scatters and shell middens.

The low lying Tootgarook Swamp (Survey Unit 3) is assessed as unlikely to contain

Aboriginal cultural heritage of any type.

Areas of archaeological potential are presented in Map 12.

Complex assessment was carried out to confirm the subsurface nature of the

activity area, determine the presence or absence of Aboriginal cultural heritage in

the activity area, and to confirm the conclusions reached in the desktop and

standard assessments of this CHMP (Table 6)

COMPLEX ASSESSMENT (SECTION 7)

The desktop and standard assessments indicated that there was a moderate to high

potential Aboriginal cultural heritage was present in elevated dunes within the activity area,

and that it was not possible to identify the nature, extent and significance of the Aboriginal

cultural heritage without carrying out a complex assessment. The desktop and standard

assessments found that it was unlikely that Aboriginal cultural heritage would be found

within the low lying Tootgarook Swamp.

The complex assessment has investigated the activity area, and confirmed the unlikely

potential for Aboriginal cultural heritage to exist within the activity area.

The complex assessments confirmed the findings of the desktop and standard

components, namely:

No Aboriginal cultural heritage places are recorded within the activity area;

No new Aboriginal heritage places were identified during the complex assessment;

It is unlikely that Aboriginal cultural heritage will be located within the activity area;

No grinding grooves, quarries, caves or rockshelters exist within the activity area;

No evidence of shell middens were located within the activity area;

No mature native trees capable of presenting cultural scarring are present within

the activity area;

No organic material with cultural association was identified during the sub-surface

testing;

The pH levels obtained from the sub-surface testing ranged between 6.0 and 8.0

(slightly acidic to slightly basic). Acidic soils offer poor preservation conditions for

bone and other organic materials (Gordon & Buikstra 1981);

No suitable sample material was available for radiometric dating or environmental

analysis.

In the unlikely event that unknown Aboriginal cultural heritage is located within the activity

area, such heritage must be managed by adopting the appropriate contingency (Section

11).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

xi

RECOMMENDATIONS (Section 10)

These recommendations become compliance requirements once the Cultural Heritage

Management Plan is approved.

RECOMMENDATIONS

No Aboriginal cultural heritage was identified during the field assessment of this CHMP.

Therefore no specific management recommendations are required in order to avoid or

minimise harm to known Aboriginal cultural heritage.

Land south of the development area (Map 2) will not be impacted by the activity and has

been assessed as being unlikely to contain Aboriginal cultural heritage (Tootgarook

Swamp). No recommendations are required for this area. As part of this plan, if land

outside the development area is to be subject to a high impact activity then a CHMP will

need to be commissioned if it includes a statutory trigger.

During the activity, if any unexpected Aboriginal cultural heritage is discovered, the

appropriate contingency plan(s) must be adopted (Section 11)

PART 1 - ASSESSMENT 1 INTRODUCTION

This Cultural Heritage Management Plan (CHMP) has been carried out in relation to a

proposed residential village at 92 Elizabeth Avenue, Rosebud West (Lot B on PS401415),

in the local government authority of Mornington Peninsula Shire (Parish: Wannaeue). The

CHMP has been sponsored by Watermark Village Pty Ltd (ABN 105 648 557, ACN 11 105

648 557) (Appendix 1). The activity area comprises areas of cultural heritage sensitivity as

defined in the Aboriginal Heritage Regulations 2007 (Regulation 23 – land within 200m of a

named waterway (Chinaman’s Creek), Regulation 37 – dunes, and Regulation 38 – sand

sheets), and the activity is a high impact activity (Regulation 46 (1) – Subdivision of land).

The activity area is located in Rosebud West, approximately 60km south of Melbourne on

the Mornington Peninsula. The activity area is bound by Residential development to the

north and east, Elizabeth Avenue to the northeast, Hiscock Road to the south and former

landfill to the west (Maps 1-2).

2 ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION This CHMP has been prepared to cover the following activities:



a residential village comprising of 163 dwellings wetland (Map 4c).

All of these options will be concentrated in the northern portion of the activity area.

Preliminary Concept Plans have been provided as Maps 4a - c. These Concept Plans are

subject to change and are dependent upon final approvals, and have been supplied for

illustrative purposes only. These plans are not to be considered a final design.

2 lot residential village (Map 4a)

The concept plan for the 2 lot residential village presents a 1 lot village over the northern

6.194ha (approx.) of the activity area. South of the residential development, two wetlands

will be constructed where the land falls away to a low swamp subject to seasonal

inundation. The residential development will comprise (but not be limited to) earthworks

and excavation for dwellings, surface and subsurface utilities, roads and footpaths. It is

considered that minor amendments to the Concept Plan presented in this CHMP, such as

relocation of road pavements and lot configuration and/or density, will not affect the

validity of this CHMP. If however, development of land south of the present village and

wetland footprint is to occur, then a new CHMP will be required for that activity.

99 lot residential village(Map 4b)

The concept plan for the 99 lot residential village presents a 98 lot village over the northern

6.194ha (approx.) of the activity area. South of the residential development, two wetlands

will be constructed where the land falls away to a low swamp subject to seasonal

inundation. The residential development will comprise (but not be limited to) earthworks

and excavation for dwellings, surface and subsurface utilities, roads and footpaths. It is

considered that minor amendments to the Concept Plan presented in this CHMP, such as

relocation of road pavements and lot configuration and/or density, will not affect the

validity of this CHMP. If however, development of land south of the present village and

wetland footprint is to occur, then a new CHMP will be required for that activity.

Residential village comprising 163 dwellings (Map 4c)

The concept plan for the residential village comprising 163 dwellings presents a 162 lot

village over the northern 6.194ha (approx.) of the activity area. South of the residential

development, two wetlands will be constructed where the land falls away to a low swamp

subject to seasonal inundation. The residential development will comprise (but not be

limited to) earthworks and excavation for dwellings, surface and subsurface utilities, roads

and footpaths. It is considered that minor amendments to the Concept Plan presented in

this CHMP, such as relocation of road pavements and lot configuration and/or density, will

not affect the validity of this CHMP. If however, development of land south of the present

village and wetland footprint is to occur, then a new CHMP will be required for that activity.



Final and precise depths of cut and fill, and founding depths of drainage pipelines, are

dependent on final engineering designs and cannot be provided here. However, it is

anticipated that such activities will impact upon any former buried land surfaces to a

maximum of 2m depth. It is anticipated that wetland construction will impact upon any

former buried land surfaces to a maximum of 2m depth.



3 EXTENT OF THE ACTIVITY AREA

The activity area is located at 92 Elizabeth Avenue, Rosebud West (Lot B on PS401415), in

the local government authority of Mornington Peninsula Shire (Parish: Wannaeue). The

activity area is bound by Residential development to the north and east, Elizabeth Avenue

to the northeast, Hiscock Road to the south and former landfill to the west (Map 1). The

total activity area measures 29.9ha, however development will only occur in the northern

7ha (approx.)(Maps 4a-c).

The activity area comprises land which falls from approximately 8m ASL in the north to

approximately 4m ASL in the south. A significant drop in height occurs in the north of the

activity area, with the majority of the activity area south of the northern rises comprising a

flat swamp lying at 4-5m ASL (Map 3a-b). The swamp has largely been drained via a drain

known as Chinaman’s Creek Drain which runs north – south on the eastern boundary and

through the centre of the study area. This channel does not necessary reflect the pre-

contact alignment of this creek. The construction of the drain on the eastern boundary of

the activity area has resulted in a large levee bank within the study area. There are very few

trees across the property and most are recent exotic and some native regrowth.

Salient features of the activity area include (Map 2):

Sand dunes in the north of the activity area;

Tootgarook Swamp in the south of the activity area;

Chinaman’s Creek Drain running north-south on the eastern boundary and through

the centre of the activity area;

Moderate to steeply graded slopes between the two landforms;

A shallow drain (Chinaman’s Creek) running between Elizabeth Avenue and the

southwest corner; and,

Post and wire fencing.

The VAHR was accessed on numerous occasions between 7th

November, 2014 and

submission of the CHMP.




activity area boundary (stone artefact scatter VAHR7821-0854), comprising a single

silcrete flake in a subsurface context. There are no other Aboriginal cultural heritage places

within 500m of the activity area boundary.

There are nineteen Aboriginal cultural heritage places within 2000m of the activity area

boundary (Table 1).

Table 1 Previously Registered Aboriginal Heritage Places within 2000m of the Activity Area

There are nineteen Aboriginal cultural heritage places within the geographic region (2000m

of the activity area boundary) (Table 1, Appendix 2).

The majority of these places comprise Stone Artefact Scatters, typically containing low (or

unspecified) numbers of stone artefacts, and typically containing artefacts made from

silcrete, quartz and quartzite and flint. Shell middens are also a significant site type within

the geographic region, and these typically comprise shellfish from both the rocky and

sandy shorelines. These places are discussed in section 5.3.

5. 2 The Geographic Region

The activity area is located in Rosebud West, approximately 60km south of Melbourne

(Map 1).

The distance to rich resource zones such as the coast line and large areas of swampland

is relevant to this assessment as it provides an indicator of potential Aboriginal

archaeological site-types, location and antiquity. For example, larger, denser, more

complex and important sites are generally located in close proximity to rich resources

zones in the region (e.g., Port Phillip Bay, Tootgarook Swamp). The activity area is located

along the northern fringe of the Tootgarook Swamp, and is less than 1.5km from the Port

Phillip Bay. Strategic values of the activity area are discussed further in Section 5.7.

The geographic region relevant to this investigation is land within 2km of the activity area

(Map 5). The majority of this region comprises the alluvial plains associated with the

Tooradin Swamp.

The prominent waterway within the geographic region is the Chinaman’s Creek, a

constructed drain which runs east of the original waterway and drains the Tootgarook

Swamp into the bay.

The landforms that typify the geographic region are:

Low foredunes associated with Port Phillip Bay coastal margin;

High density residential development and associated infrastructure on largely

levelled sandy coastal plain;

The large, drained Tootgarook Swamp and its margins; and,

The north east margin of “The Cups”.

The geographic region nominated is considered to contain a large enough sample of

landforms, features and associated cultural heritage in order to produce an Aboriginal

cultural heritage archaeological model.

For further detailed information on the landforms/geomorphology, geography and

environmental background of the geographic region refer to Section 5.6.
