  • Sedgelands in Holocene Dune Swales Recovery Plan
    INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 314 SEDGELANDS IN HOLOCENE DUNE SWALES RECOVERY PLAN September 2011 Department of Environment and Conservation Species and Communities Branch Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, WA, 6983 FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) Policy Statements Nos 44 and 50. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. DEC is committed to ensuring that critically endangered ecological communities are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by DEC’s Director of Nature Conservation. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from September 2011 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the community is still listed as critically endangered after five years, the need for an updated plan will be evaluated. The provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities. Information in this IRP was accurate at September 2011. This interim recovery plan replaces plan number 110 Sedgelands in Holocene dune swales 2002-2007 by V. English, J. Blyth, N. Gibson, D. Pember, J. Davis, J. Tucker, P. Jennings and B. Walker. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This interim recovery plan was prepared by Gemma Grigg and Valerie English.

  • Executive Summary
    Point Peron “K” Battery Conservation Management Plan March 2016 Executive Summary i) Background The South West Corridor Development Foundation Incorporated (SWCDeF Inc) appointed Hocking Heritage Studio to prepare a conservation management plan (CMP) for the Point Peron “K” Battery site, following an approach by the Point Peron Rehabilitation Committee (PPRC) and the securing of grant funds for this purpose. The PPRC was established in late 2014 by the Hon. Phil Edman MLC as a voluntary committee of stakeholders with an interest in rehabilitating the historic Point Peron Battery “K” structures built during World War II. The PPRC propose that a museum should be established on the site of the former Barracks/Recreation Camp in the northern part of the Point Peron headland, to recognise the important defence role of Point Peron as part of the “Fremantle Fortress” and to house safely valuable memorabilia and artefacts gathered to date. The CMP forms the first step in the larger Point Peron Restoration project, which seeks to rehabilitate the site, conserve the structures with possible adaptive reuse for some elements of the infrastructure, and introduce improved visitor services whilst celebrating the role these structures played in the coastal defence of Western Australia during WWII. Fremantle was the Allies’ major Indian Ocean gateway during World War II and as such needed to be defended. Point Peron “K” Battery was one of seven similar gun emplacements built between 1937 and 1945 to defend major Australian ports from bombardment by warships. By 1967, all of the batteries had become obsolete and were closed down. As with the other sites, Point Peron was stripped of its guns and has since been left to fall into a state of disrepair.
