Under current legislation the Project will likely be subject to assessment and approval by both State and Commonwealth Ministers. Approval is required under Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act 1999 (EPBC Act) for significant impacts on Commonwealth Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES). Approval is also required by the South Australian Minister for Planning and Local Government under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (PDI Act). Subject to planning and environmental approval, construction will likely commence in early 2025 for the Project to be generating electricity by 2026/27. This EIS Scoping Report has been prepared to provide preliminary information to support the future Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Project. The Project will support the South Australian Government’s target of net 100% renewable energy by 20302 and its ambition to be a national and international exporter of clean energy. It would also contribute to the Australian Commonwealth Government target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 26- 28% below the 2005 levels by 20303. Relevant Matters & Potential Impacts More specific to the proposed site and Project Area, a desk-based search found the following key environmental aspects, which will need to be considered during design development and for the planning and environmental approvals: Onshore Commonwealth matters of significance: • Nearby Commonwealth protected areas, including: • Conservation Parks / Areas • Heritage Sites • Nearby nationally important wetlands: 1 https://saoffshorewindfarm.com.au/ 2 https://reneweconomy.com.au/south-australia-minister-aiming-for-100-per-cent-renewables- before-2030-2030/ 3https://www.pmc.gov.au/sites/default/files/publications/Summary%20Report%20Australias%202 030%20Emission%20Reduction%20Target.pdf 278441-ENV-SA-RPT-004 | Rev 0 | 9 August 2021 | Arup i \\GLOBAL.ARUP.COM\AUSTRALASIA\PER\PROJECTS\278000\278441-00 AUSTRALIS ENERGY OWFS\WORK\INTERNAL\SA\STAGE 2\ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING REPORT\FINAL SUBMISSION\278441-ENV-SA-RPT-004_REV1.DOCX SA Offshore Windfarm Pty Ltd SA Offshore Windfarm Project EIS Scoping Report • The Coorong, Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert • Watervalley Wetlands • Commonwealth listed Critically Endangered Threatened Ecological Community (TEC), Seasonal Herbaceous Wetlands (Freshwater) of the Temperate Lowland Plains and Subtropical and Temperate Coastal Saltmarsh, likely to occur in the Project Area • A number of Commonwealth Listed Threatened and Migratory Species in the area, including birds, frogs, mammals, plants and reptiles. State matters: • State flora sites in the area and within the site bounds, including rare and endangered species • Patches of remnant native vegetation • Native Title claim by First Nations of the South East #1 (SAD211/2017), covering all land within Project Area to a point 500m seaward of the Mean Low Water Mark. There is also a claim from Ngarrindjeri and Others Native Title Claim (SAD6027/1998), which also covers the area of Coorong and Kingston SE district • State fauna sites within the Project Area, including rare, vulnerable and endangered species. Offshore Commonwealth matters of significance: • Adjacent to a Commonwealth Marine Area • Located within the Bonney Coast Upwelling (as mentioned above), a key ecological feature important for the biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and integrity of the Commonwealth Marine Area • Commonwealth listed Critically Endangered TEC (Giant Kelp Marine Forests of South East Australia) potentially occurring within the Project Area • A number of Commonwealth Listed Threatened, Marine and Migratory Species within the area, including birds, fish, whales, dolphins, turtles, sea dragons, sharks, seals and sea lions. State matters: Project infrastructure to be partly located within a State Marine Park, in a Habitat Protection Zone (HPZ) and a General Managed Use Zone (GMUZ). Some inter- array cables may also need to be located within a Sanctuary Zone (SZ), although this would be avoided where possible. The values and impacts to the SZ zone and surrounds will be further investigated during the next stage of the Project. 278441-ENV-SA-RPT-004 | Rev 0 | 9 August 2021 | Arup ii \\GLOBAL.ARUP.COM\AUSTRALASIA\PER\PROJECTS\278000\278441-00 AUSTRALIS ENERGY OWFS\WORK\INTERNAL\SA\STAGE 2\ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING REPORT\FINAL SUBMISSION\278441-ENV-SA-RPT-004_REV1.DOCX SA Offshore Windfarm Pty Ltd SA Offshore Windfarm Project EIS Scoping Report Other State matters include: • Areas of dense seagrass from the coast leading to a low profile platform reef • Located within the Coorong Coastal Commercial Fishing Zone and Pipi (Goolwa Cockle) Harvest Area • Nearby Rock Lobster sanctuary located off Cape Jaffa. It is likely that the Project will be deemed as Impact Assessed Development for the following considerations: • Potential impacts on marine environment and migratory species • Large scale of the Project with less understood impacts in South Australian context • Location within a State Marine Park • Underwater noise and/or vibration potentially impacting on sensitive marine receptors and species (offshore) • Potential impact on South Australian benthic or marine species and communities, or their habitat • Potential adverse impacts during operation and maintenance on visual and/or seascape and landscape values experienced from public open space (coast) or residential areas • Socio-economic impacts (access restrictions and/or impacts to community, recreational use and public open space and disruption to local or regional businesses). It is expected that the Project will be deemed a Controlled Action and require approval under the EPBC Act for impacts to MNES, including Threatened Ecological Communities and Threatened and Migratory Species. Proposed Mitigation Measures Future comprehensive marine and terrestrial studies will be undertaken to collect baseline data and characterise the existing conditions of the Project Area. Additional survey effort will be required to confirm the marine and terrestrial flora and fauna species likely to be present on site and confirm their known habitat. Further landscape, seascape and visual assessments and noise modelling and monitoring would identify risks and potential impacts to sensitive receptors. Community Engagement The development and implementation of a robust and proactive stakeholder engagement and community consultation program will be carried out to ensure increased inclusivity in environmental decision making. Incorporating local knowledge into the design process and strong communication around key and perceived environmental impacts will also help to manage community related risks and perceived negative Project outcomes. 278441-ENV-SA-RPT-004 | Rev 0 | 9 August 2021 | Arup iii \\GLOBAL.ARUP.COM\AUSTRALASIA\PER\PROJECTS\278000\278441-00 AUSTRALIS ENERGY OWFS\WORK\INTERNAL\SA\STAGE 2\ENVIRONMENTAL SCOPING REPORT\FINAL SUBMISSION\278441-ENV-SA-RPT-004_REV1.DOCX SA Offshore Windfarm Pty Ltd SA Offshore Windfarm Project EIS Scoping Report Arup has prepared a Stakeholder and Community Engagement Plan for the current phase of the Project. The Plan is based on the principle that involving people from the very beginning of a project is the best way to achieve great outcomes and ensure the Project achieves and maintains a social licence to operate. The plan will be updated for each phase of the Project and will include consultation approaches for key stakeholders such as government departments and key agencies, community groups, local businesses and community members. 278441-ENV-SA-RPT-004 | Rev

  • BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address

    BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address

    BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address: Blackford Reserve Rowney Road Blackford SA 5275 SUMMARY OF HERITAGE VALUE: Description: The Blackford Reserve consists of a large area of land bisected by Rowney Road. There are two stone cottages standing on the east side of the road, and one of stone and mixed materials on the west side. Most of the reserve is covered by native scrub, in a district where most land has been cleared for farming. Statement of Heritage Value: Commencing in about the 1880s, the Blackford Reserve was continuously occupied by an Indigenous community until the 1940s, and is still used today. It is the most substantial evidence of the historical and continuing relationship between European and Aboriginal people in the South-East. In addition, while there are a number of places entered in the SA Heritage Register because of their role in the interaction between European and Aboriginal South Australians, including all or part of the settlements at Poonindie, Moorundie, Point Pearce, Raukkan (Point McLeay) and Killalpaninna, all these settlements differ from Blackford Reserve in one fundamental respect. All were created, administered and supervised on a day-to-day basis by European staff. Most were run by church missionaries, Moorundie and Point Pearce by government officers, but all were European. Blackford is fundamentally different in being a settlement run entirely by and for its Aboriginal residents. Relevant Criteria (Under Section 16 of the Heritage Act 1993): (a) It demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the State's history (d) It is an outstanding representative of a particular class of places of cultural significance RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Blackford Reserve be provisionally entered in the South Australian Heritage Register, and that it be declared a place of archaeological significance.

    South Australia's National Parks Guide

    SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S NATIONAL PARKS GUIDE Explore some of South Australia’s most inspirational places INTRODUCTION Generations of South Australians and visitors to our State cherish memories of our national parks. From camping with family and friends in the iconic Flinders Ranges, picnicking at popular Adelaide parks such as Belair National Park or fishing and swimming along our long and winding coast, there are countless opportunities to connect with nature and discover landscapes of both natural and cultural significance. South Australia’s parks make an important contribution to the economic development of the State through nature- based tourism, recreation and biodiversity. They also contribute to the healthy lifestyles we as a community enjoy and they are cornerstones of our efforts to conserve South Australia’s native plants and animals. In recognition of the importance of our parks, the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources is enhancing experiences for visitors, such as improving park infrastructure and providing opportunities for volunteers to contribute to conservation efforts. It is important that we all continue to celebrate South Australia’s parks and recognise the contribution that people make to conservation. Helping achieve that vision is the fun part – all you need to do is visit a park and take advantage of all it has to offer.

    Broken Hill Complex

    Broken Hill Complex Bioregion resources Photo Mulyangarie, DEH Broken Hill Complex The Broken Hill Complex bioregion is located in western New South Wales and eastern South Australia, spanning the NSW-SA border. It includes all of the Barrier Ranges and covers a huge area of nearly 5.7 million hectares with approximately 33% falling in South Australia! It has an arid climate with dry hot summers and mild winters. The average rainfall is 222mm per year, with slightly more rainfall occurring in summer. The bioregion is rich with Aboriginal cultural history, with numerous archaeological sites of significance. Biodiversity and habitat The bioregion consists of low ranges, and gently rounded hills and depressions. The main vegetation types are chenopod and samphire shrublands; casuarina forests and woodlands and acacia shrublands. Threatened animal species include the Yellow-footed Rock- wallaby and Australian Bustard. Grazing, mining and wood collection for over 100 years has led to a decline in understory plant species and cover, affecting ground nesting birds and ground feeding insectivores. 2 | Broken Hill Complex Photo by Francisco Facelli Broken Hill Complex Threats Threats to the Broken Hill Complex bioregion and its dependent species include: For Further information • erosion and degradation caused by overgrazing by sheep, To get involved or for more information please cattle, goats, rabbits and macropods phone your nearest Natural Resources Centre or • competition and predation by feral animals such as rabbits, visit www.naturalresources.sa.gov.au

    The Environmental, Social and Human Health Importance of the Aquifers and Wetlands of the Lower South East of South Australia An

    The environmental, social and human health importance of the aquifers and wetlands of the Lower South East of South Australia and SW Victoria and the increasing threats to their existence. My submission to the Senate Select Committee on Unconventional Gas Mining March 2016 I am Marcia Lorenz B.A. Grad. Dip. Ed. Admin., a retired school teacher. I only discovered the attractions of the South East when I came to Beachport 12 years ago. I am a volunteer at the Millicent High School where I support the Aboriginal children in their work with their culture and the environment. I am also a volunteer with other environmental groups in the region. My submission concerns the likely detrimental effect of unconventional gas extraction (“fracking”) on the aquifers and wetlands of the South East of South Australia and therefore on the myriad of species, both flora and fauna that constitute wetland habitats. 1 HISTORY Historically, post white settlement, wetlands were viewed as wastelands with no thought being given to the natural environment and the diversity of species they contained. Economics was the driving force. It would be wonderful if we could say that times have changed and politically there is the realisation that in order for humans to exist, the natural environment must be taken into consideration. After all we now have knowledge that wasn’t available to the ordinary person in the early days of settlement. Post European settlement change in land use has significantly altered the landscape of the South East resulting in the loss of many areas of wetland habitat with <6% of the original wetland extent now remaining.1 An estimated 2,515 km.

There was a pair of Malleefowl tending a mound in the reveg patch at the Lodge Border Campout which was a rare opportunity for us to see the birds th working their mound. Unfortunately, it took several September 28 – trips to the mound, just missing the birds each st time, until the last morning of our stay when one of October 1 the birds had just finished opening up the mound and was still present when we arrived.
