  • Yaouk Nature Reserve
    YAOUK NATURE RESERVE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Part of the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water August 2009 This plan of management was adopted by the Minister for Climate Change and the Environment on 18th August 2009. Acknowledgments The NPWS acknowledges that this reserve is in the traditional country of the Walgalu people. This plan of management is based on a draft plan prepared by the staff of the South West Slopes Region of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), part of the Department of Environment and Climate Change. Cover photograph of Yaouk Nature Reserve by Jo Caldwell, NPWS. For additional information or any inquiries about this reserve or this plan of management, contact the NPWS South West Slopes Region Office at 7 Adelong Road Tumut, NSW, 2720 or by telephone on 6947 7000. © Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (NSW) 2009: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment. ISBN 978 1 74232 423 4 DECCW 2009/594 FOREWORD Yaouk Nature Reserve is located northeast of Adaminaby, within the sub-alpine and montane regions of New South Wales. The reserve covers an area of 2,924 hectares. Yaouk Nature Reserve protects Candlebark shrubland, a sub-alpine vegetation community which has a very limited distribution, is not well represented in conservation reserves, and is highly vulnerable to drought and frequent fire regimes. It also has abundant bird life, with 25 species recorded to date. The reserve also contains Aboriginal sites of considerable interest given the landscape settings and the elevation at which they were found, and was part of a squatter’s run selected in 1838.

    Namadgi National Park, ACT and Kosciuszko National Park, NSW 8–14 December 2013 Bush Blitz Species Discovery Program Namadgi National Park, ACT and Kosciuszko National Park, NSW 8–14 December 2013 What is Bush Blitz? Bush Blitz is a multi-million dollar partnership between the Australian Government, BHP Billiton Sustainable Communities and Earthwatch Australia to document plants and animals in selected properties across Australia. This innovative partnership harnesses the expertise of many of Australia’s top scientists from museums, herbaria, universities, and other institutions and organisations across the country. Abbreviations ABRS Australian Biological Resources Study ANIC Australian National Insect Collection CSIRO Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation EPBC Act Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth) 2 Namadgi National Park, ACT and Kosciuszko National Park, NSW 8–14 December 2013 Summary In December 2013, a Bush Blitz survey was conducted in parts of Namadgi National Park in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales (NSW). While the areas had been surveyed previously, the remoteness and roughness of the terrain meant that many of the collections were restricted to the more accessible sites. In addition, the parks had not been surveyed for some taxa, for example Namadgi had never been surveyed for spiders. This survey gave researchers an opportunity to explore little-known areas and to benchmark the biodiversity of the Australian alpine regions. The survey focused on flora and invertebrate groups. The survey took place in early summer and provided ideal conditions for collecting. Namadgi and Kosciuszko National Parks are situated in Australia’s alpine region and provide habitat for a wealth of alpine and sub-alpine species.

  • Cooma-Monaro Economic Development Marketing Strategy
    COMMERCIAL-IN-CONFIDENCE COOMA-MONARO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MARKETING STRATEGY PREPARED BY THE CREATIVE ALLIANCE PTY LTD www.creativealliance.net.au MARCH 2015 CONTENTS PREAMBLE 5 BACKGROUND 7 MARKETING BRIEF & SCOPE 11 CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS 15 ECONOMIC PROFILE 21 THE VISITOR ECONOMY 33 STRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES 43 MARKETING STRATEGY 55 CREATIVE CONCEPTS 60 TIMING & DELIVERY 113 SUMMARY 115 APPENDIX 118 2 3 PREAMBLE The Cooma-Monaro Economic Development Taskforce was set-up as a 12-person committee in June 2013 to make recommendations concerning the development of the Shire’s economy. The Taskforce Report was presented to Council in late 2013. In order to gain traction and momentum for the report’s recommendations, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council is developing a marketing strategy in pursuit of the vision articulated by the Economic Development Taskforce. It is envisaged that the marketing strategy would be comprehensive and integrated addressing the key drivers in accelerating growth of Cooma-Monaro Shire’s economy. 4 5 BACKGROUND The need for a Shire marketing strategy was identified in the final report of the Cooma- Monaro Economic Taskforce. The recommendations of this community and business group, which was convened by Council and facilitated through Dr Kim Houghton, were adopted in December 2013. The Taskforce report presented a positive vision for Cooma-Monaro Shire. “Cooma-Monaro’s population will again be growing, especially with people of working age, due to the vibrancy and diversity inherent in our great lifestyle which is appealing to residents and visitors alike. Cooma positions itself as a major commercial, retail, educational and services centre. Our Shire will offer a range of employment options and we will be known for our strengths in specialist manufacturing, energy technology, agriculture and active tourism.

  • Proceedings of an International Year Of
    The Australian Alps And The Great Escarpment Of Eastern Australia Conservation Corridors Ian Pulsford, Graeme Worboys, Jane Gough and Tim Shepherd Ian Pulsford - Divisional Manager, Conservation Programs and Planning Division, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Graeme Worboys – Deputy Vice-Chair Mountains, IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, Director Jagumba Consulting Pty Ltd Jane Gough - Senior Technical Officer, Conservation Programs and Planning Division. NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Tim Shepherd – Regional Manager, Far South Coast Region, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service The views and opinions expressed in the paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the policy or policies of any organisation Abstract Two outstanding Australian conservation corridors have been established in south eastern Australia during 60 years of conservation land use decisions. The establishment of these two conservation corridors is presented. The Australian Alps conservation corridor straddles the Great Dividing Range and extends along natural lands from central Victoria through south eastern New South Wales to the Australian Capital Territory. This corridor includes the highest peaks of Australia. The southern section of another conservation corridor is located along the Great Escarpment of Eastern Australia. This geomorphic feature extends north-south from East Gippsland in Victoria to the north of Cairns in Queensland. These conservation corridors are described and their potential role in strategic biodiversity conservation at a continental scale discussed. The conservation corridors form the core around which further integrated landscape conservation management outcomes can be achieved. The benefits of an integrated landscape conservation system are being driven through a range of public and community initiatives.

  • Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps
    Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps Alpine National Park Avon Wilderness Park Bimberi Nature Reserve Brindabella National Park Kosciuszko National Park Mount Buffalo National Park Namadgi National Park Scabby Range Nature Reserve Snowy River National Park Peter Coyne May 2001 A report to the Natural Heritage Working Group of the Australian Alps Liaison Committee Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps About the author Peter Coyne has had an interest in the Australian Alps from early childhood and a long history of interest and involvement in protected area issues. This began with preparation of a management plan as an honours project when such a document was a real novelty. He had the rare opportunity to create national parks, working with the Land Conservation Council in Victoria where he defined the boundaries and gave names to proposed new national parks, including Croajingalong, Snowy River and Tingaringy, which the Government adopted. Dr Coyne joined the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service in its early days and spent four years establishing the Service’s office and operations on Norfolk Island, and introducing the concept of environmental management to the island’s community and government (which led to the creation of the Norfolk Island National Park). He then headed the ANPWS Park Planning Section, personally preparing the management plan for Kakadu National Park and having responsibility for preparation of other plans ranging from central Australia (Uluru–Kata Tjuta) to marine national nature reserves in the Coral and Timor Seas, and park plans for Australia’s remote Indian Ocean Territories. During this time he also developed the legislation and lease to enable transfer of Uluru to its traditional Aboriginal owners and its lease back to the Director of National Parks and Wildlife for continuing use as a national park.
