Region: Otways

Legal Number: LEGL/93-48/1

Plantation: Webster Hill

93-48j: July 2001 - Otway Ranges. Appalling logging operation in a tributary of Asplin Creek-Gellibrand River. Note destruction of non-plantation species, with trees cut into gully, flattening vegetation, including old tree ferns. This area provides drinking water for over 50,000 people!

93-48k: July 2001 - Otway Ranges. Logging inside Webster Hill plantation. Note small width of buffer zones.

93-48l: July 2001 - Otway Ranges. Inappropriate roading inside a domestic water supply catchment. Note amount of soil bulldozed straight into tributary of Asplin Creek.

93-48m: July 2001 - Otway Ranges. Another tributary of Asplin Creek (Warrnambool's water supply) with sediment obviously entering waterway. What will happen to this sediment during a heavy rainfall event? This is totally inappropriate logging practice in a domestic water catchment.

93-48n: July 2001. Another trashed gully line in the Asplin Creek catchment. Where are the buffers?
