Draft of revised permit arrangements for Western Treatment Plant, Werribee, Vic

In the new draft plans for the WTP,
it mentions opening the gates to Ryans Swamp during seasonal inundation.

Has Ryans Swamp always been accessible
to birdwatchers via Paradise Rd?  

If so, is someone able to tell me how
to get to it with G2 key access?

What are people general feelings about
the proposed changes? 

Looks like general access birdwatchers
are going to lose access to Barrow Pits, and the conservation lagoons,
plus all the coastline between Little River and Werribee River.
