Biodiversity Conservation Advisory Committee
The plant’s Biodiversity Conservation Advisory Committee (BCAC) provides specialist advice to Melbourne Water on the conservation and management of the Western Treatment Plant’s native biodiversity values. It plays an important role in preparing biodiversity conservation management plans for the site.
The Committee includes organisations with a role in biodiversity conservation on the site, people with specialist knowledge and groups with members who visit the site for its conservation values.
Members include:
- Melbourne Water
- Representatives of neighbouring State government and council property
- Other government agencies
- Expert advisors in botany, ornithology, mammalogy/herpetology, and marine biology
- Representatives of interest groups that visit the site for bird watching and studies of birds and other wildlife.
The committee meets four times a year at the plant.
