Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands The Edithvale and Seaford Wetlands are two freshwater wetlands located in Melbourne’s south-east. Edithvale Wetlands is located on 107 hectares of Melbourne Water freehold land and a small area of 5.2 hectares of Crown land. Seaford Wetlands is located mostly on 78 hectares of Melbourne Water freehold land. Approximately 21 hectares is located on reserved Crown land (Seaford Wetlands Reserve) and four hectares of other Crown land. City of Frankston owned land (not considered public land under the VEAC Act) makes up the remainder of the wetland. Combined, the Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands are recognised for their high waterbird diversity and numbers and for supporting threatened species. While these wetlands contain limited remnant vegetation, shallow freshwater marshes and reed beds continue to provide important habitat with over 190 bird species and 25 migratory bird species recorded. Importantly, these sites also regularly support populations of the Australasian bittern Botaurus poiciloptilus (considered endangered in Victoria and listed under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988) and more than one per cent of the East Asian-Australian fl yway population of the migratory sharp-tailed sandpiper. Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands are internationally recognised as a wetland of importance under the Ramsar convention. The two wetlands, along with Melbourne Water freehold land at Centre Swamp in Chelsea, are the last remains of Carrum Carrum Swamp; a shallow freshwater marsh that was largely drained following European settlement. The draft recommendations describe both Melbourne Water and Crown land within the Ramsar wetland boundary. They do not apply to Centre Swamp at Chelsea. DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands (a) That Melbourne Water continues to manage Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands to protect and enhance their biodiversity values; and (b) Melbourne Water considers the establishment of an agreement, such as those provided for under section 69 of the Conservation, Forests and Lands Act 1987, for the management, use, and conservation of the area; and (c) should Melbourne Water no longer require the areas within the red boundaries on fi gures 10.6 and 10.7, that these areas be transferred to the Crown and reserved for conservation purposes under the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978. DRAFT RECOMMENDATION Edithvale Wetland E2 The area of 5.2 hectares of Crown land, shown hatched on fi gure 10.6, be reserved for conservation purposes under the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978 and used in accordance with natural features reserves general recommendation E. Seaford Wetland E3 The area of 4 hectares of Crown land at Seaford Wetland, shown hatched on fi gure 10.7 be added to the existing natural features reserve-bushland area (Seaford Wetland Reserve) under the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978. 157
