Mr Buller said the River Reserve committee, which manages the reserve along the river on behalf of DELWP, had been involved from the start because of their concern about erosion. The project also got the thumbs-up from Warburton Advancement League president, Jeff Gill, and Upper Yarra River Reserve Committee of Management president, Gordon Buller. The installation of a stormwater pollutant trap will further stop litter and nutrients from stormwater entering the river.Ĭr Child said the lookout platform over the river would also be rebuilt and signage and footpath upgrades would help formalise access to the river bank, encouraging visitors to keep off other vegetated areas to avoid further damage. Rain gardens along the bank will be renewed and replanted to assist in maintaining water quality and a water-sensitive wetland will also be created to help reduce pollution and litter in the river. ![]() “This project is particularly important because it reduces stormwater, creates healthier waterways and improves the local environment for the Warburton community and visitors.” Melbourne Water Manager Regional Services (North-East), Greg Bain, said the Yarra River was vital to Melbourne’s status as the world’s most liveable city and an essential component of the Warburton community. “However, over the years this popularity has meant we are now seeing signs of erosion along this particular section (Thomas Avenue) of the river bank, which will require some stabilisation works to ensure it can remain a place for people to use,” he said. O’Shannassy ward councillor Jim Child said the Yarra River in Warburton was a beautiful place for people to sit and relax or fish. Works are expected to begin just after Easter, and be completed in 2017. The project will involve stabilising the river bank with rock work stepping down into the river, which will help protect the bank during peak river flows.Ĭouncil has been working with Melbourne Water on the design of the $385,000 project, taking into account feedback from community consultation on the project last year. Yarra Ranges Council is partnering with Melbourne Water on a project aimed at restoring the eroded riverbank and providing more stable access to the river for water play, swimmers, canoeists and anglers. NSIRA and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada jointly conducted a review of 2020 disclosures.THE popularity of the Yarra River behind the main street in Warburton brings the town alive in summer, but it has had some unforeseen consequences which are about to be remedied. The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency ( NSIRA) conducted a review of 2019 disclosures under SCIDA. The National Security and Intelligence Review Agency Act established an independent review function of SCIDA. ![]() SCIDA permits disclosures where the disclosing institution satisfies itself that the information will contribute to the exercise of the recipient institution’s jurisdiction or responsibilities in respect of activities that undermine the security of Canada, and will not affect any person’s privacy interest more than is reasonably necessary (the disclosure test). SCIDA seeks to strike a reasonable balance between privacy and national security. ![]() SCIDA authorizes institutions to disclose information relevant to national security, including personal information, to a select group of federal government institutions with national security mandates.Īn important concern in the development of SCIDA was risk to law-abiding citizens that comes when the personal information of many is shared to identify the few individuals actually involved in activities of concern to national security. The Security of Canada Information Disclosure Act ( SCIDA) was adopted in 2019 after much parliamentary debate with an aim to enable more timely and effective information sharing across government for national security purposes.
