Appendix 1. Threatened species likelihood of occurrence ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TSC Scientific Name EPBC Act Habitat Likelihood Act Grows mainly in heath and dry sclerophyll forest in sandy soils. Mainly south of Dora Creek-Morisset area to Berrima and the Illawarra region, west Acacia bynoeana E V Low to the Blue Mountains, also recorded from near Kurri Kurri in the Hunter Valley and from Morton National Park. None Allocasuarina glareicola E E This species is restricted to a few small populations in and around Castlereagh, north-east of Penrith, NSW. None Occurs north of Sydney, in the Baulkham Hills, Hawkesbury and Hornsby local government areas. Also likely to occur in the western part of Asterolasia elegans E E Gosford local government area. Known from only seven populations, only one of which is wholly within a conservation reserve. None The Tessellated Spider Orchid is found in grassy sclerophyll woodland on clay loam or sandy soils, though the population near Braidwood is in low Caladenia tessellata E V woodland with stony soil. Known from the Sydney area (old records), Wyong, Ulladulla and Braidwood in NSW. Populations in Kiama and Queanbeyan are presumed extinct. None Recorded from the Georges River to Hawkesbury River in the Sydney area, and north to the Nelson Bay area of NSW. Recorded in 2000 at Coalcliff in the northern Illawarra. For the Sydney area, recent records are limited to the Hornsby Plateau area near the Hawkesbury River. The Callistemon linearifolius V - species was more widespread in the past, and there are currently only 5-6 populations remaining from the 22 populations historically recorded in the Sydney area. Three of the remaining populations are reserved in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, Lion Island Nature Reserve and Spectacle Island Nature Reserve. The species has also been recorded from Yengo National Park. Low Cryptostylis hunteriana V V Grows in swamp-heath on sandy soils, chiefly in coastal districts, south from the Gibraltar Range. None Cynanchum elegans E E Recorded from rainforest gullies scrub and scree slopes from the Gloucester district to the Wollongong area and inland to Mt Dangar. Moderate Epacris purpurascens Recorded from Gosford in the north, to Narrabeen in the east, Silverdale in the west and Avon Dam vicinity in the South. Found in a range of V - var. purpurascens habitat types, most of which have a strong shale soil influence. None The Narrow-leaved Peppermint occurs in grassy or sclerophyll woodland, in association with other eucalypts that grow in the region, including New Eucalyptus nicholii V V England Blackbutt (Eucalyptus andrewsii) and many of the stringybarks, such as Broad-leaved Stringybark (E. caliginosa). The species is found on shallow, relatively infertile soils on shale and slate geology. Moderate Grows in sandy or light clay soils usually over thin shales. Occurs in a range of vegetation types from heath and shrubby woodland to open forest. Grevillea parviflora V V Found over a range of altitudes from flat, low-lying areas to upper slopes and ridge crests. Often occurs in open, slightly disturbed sites such as subsp. parviflora along tracks. Terrestrial Ecology Impact 25 Bulli Seam Operations ‐ Mine Safety Gas Management Project s75W Modification Assessment TSC Scientific Name EPBC Act Habitat Likelihood Act None Grows on hillsides and riverbanks and may be restricted to fine sandy soils Within NSW, has only ever been recorded at three sites, to the west of Sydney, near the Colo, Georges and Nepean Rivers. The most recent sighting was of a single male plant near the Colo River within Wollemi Gyrostemon thesioides E - National Park. The species has not been recorded from the Nepean and Georges Rivers for 90 and 30 years respectively, despite searches. Also occurs in Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania. None Haloragis exalata subsp. exalata occurs in New South Wales and Victoria from as far north as the NSW north-western slopes (near Narrabri), south to the Glenelg River in south-western Victoria. In New South Wales populations are known from the areas of western Sydney, Kosciuszko National Park, the Bega Valley, Bungonia Gorge east of Goulburn on the Central Tablelands, the Shoalhaven River and Lake Illawarra on the Haloragis exalata subsp. Central Coast, the North Coast and the Northern Tablelands. In Victoria populations are known from near the Glenelg and Curdies Rivers, both in V V exalata the south-west of the state. Important populations occur in the following NSW National Parks: Kosciuszko National Park, Geehi Valley (NSW), Lower Glenelg National Park, Moleside Creek (VIC), Gulaga National Park, Wallaga Lake (NSW), Eurobodalla National Park, Corunna Lake (NSW) and Marramarra National Park (NSW). Other important populations occur at Cuttagee Lake (NSW), Gooseberry Island in Lake Illawarra (NSW) and Bungonia State Conservation Area (NSW). Low Leucopogon exolasius V V Grows in woodland on sandstone. Restricted to the Woronora and Grose Rivers and Stokes Creek, Royal National Park. Low Biconvex Paperbark generally grows in damp places, often near streams or low-lying areas on alluvial soils of low slopes or sheltered aspects. Melaleuca biconvexa V V Scattered and dispersed populations found in the Jervis Bay area in the south and the Gosford-Wyong area in the north. None Melaleuca deanei V V Grows in wet heath on sandstone in coastal districts from Berowra to Nowra. Low The species is known to occur in habitat usually located just above the high water level of irregularly inundated or ephemeral lakes. During dry Pelargonium sp. E E periods, the species is known to colonise exposed lake beds. In New South Wales, Pelargonium sp. is currently known to occur at four localities in striatellum the Southern Tablelands, at altitudes ranging from 680-1030 m a.s.l. Low Persoonia bargoensis E V The Bargo Geebung occurs in woodland or dry sclerophyll forest on sandstone and on heavier, well drained, loamy, gravely soils. Low Persoonia hirsuta E E The Hairy Geebung is found in sandy soils in dry sclerophyll open forest, woodland and heath on sandstone. Low Confined to aeolian and alluvial sediments and occurs in a range of sclerophyll forest and woodland vegetation communities, with the majority of Persoonia nutans E E individuals occurring within Agnes Banks woodland or Castlereagh Scribbly Gum woodland. Restricted to the Cumberland Plain in western Sydney, between Richmond in the north and Macquarie Fields in the south. Low Pimelea curviflora subsp. curviflora occurs on ridge tops and upper slopes in open forest and woodland on sandy soil derived from sandstone on Pimelea curviflora shaley/lateritic soils and shale/sandstone transition soils. The population at Albion Park on the Illawarra coastal plain occurs in Lowland Grassy V V subsp. curviflora Woodland habitat. It often grows among dense grasses and sedges (CSIRO Plant Industry & Threatened Species Unit 1999) making it difficult to detect. Terrestrial Ecology Impact 26 Bulli Seam Operations ‐ Mine Safety Gas Management Project s75W Modification Assessment TSC Scientific Name EPBC Act Habitat Likelihood Act Low Once widespread on the Cumberland Plain, the Spiked Rice-flower occurs in two disjunct areas; the Cumberland Plain (Narellan, Marayong, Prospect Reservoir areas) and the Illawarra (Lansdowne to Shellharbour to northern Kiama). In both the Cumberland Plain and Illawarra Pimelea spicata E E environments this species is found on well-structured clay soils. On the inland Cumberland Plain sites it is associated with Grey Box and Ironbark. In the coastal Illawarra it occurs commonly in Coast Banksia open woodland with a better developed shrub and grass understorey. Low The species is expected to live for 10 - 20 years, while the minimum time to produce seed is estimated to be 4 - 6 years. Found in a very limited Pomaderris brunnea V V area around the Colo, Nepean and Hawkesbury Rivers, including the Bargo area. It also occurs at Walcha on the New England Tableland and in far eastern Gippsland in Victoria. Low Restricted to western Sydney between Freemans Reach in the north and Picton in the south. Most commonly found growing in small pockets of Pterostylis saxicola E E shallow soil in depressions on sandstone rock shelves above cliff lines. The vegetation communities above the shelves where Pterostylis saxicola occurs are sclerophyll forest or woodland on shale-sandstone transition soils or shale soils. Low Prickly Bush-pea is restricted to the Woronora Plateau, a small area between Helensburgh, south of Sydney, and Mt Kiera above Wollongong. The Pultenaea aristata V V species occurs in either dry sclerophyll woodland or wet heath on sandstone. Low Pultenaea pedunculata occurs in a range of habitats. NSW populations are generally among woodland vegetation but plants have also been found Pultenaea pedunculata E - on road batters and coastal cliffs. It is largely confined to loamy soils in dry gullies in populations in the Windellama area. Low Syzygium paniculatum occupies restricted habitats that have been extensively cleared or modified (DECC 2007) including lowland and littoral rainforest.
