Forests and Woodlands of the Adelaide Plains in 1836 a Native Vegetation Planting Guide FORESTS AND WOODLANDS OF THE ADELAIDE PLAINS IN 1836 A NATIVE VEGETATION PLANTING GUIDE How to use this Planting Guide: Gawler Belt Hewett This poster has been designed as a native planting guide. Looking at the map, locate your suburb's colour and match to the coloured,num- Willaston bered boxes below. This identifies the plant group appropriate to our area. On the back of this poster find your suburb's number and Ward Belt colour to identify those plants indigenous to your area. These have been listed under layer headings - ie. trees, shrubs, ground cover. Dots Gawler down the list indicate the presence of species in each group.

  • Plant Life of Western Australia
    INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm.

  • Stormwater Connections to Natural Waterways Rouse Hill Development Area
    Stormwater connections to natural waterways Rouse Hill Development Area Overview What This guide explains what you need to do when building a stormwater connection into Sydney Water’s natural open channel waterways in the Rouse Hill Development Area (RHDA). We allow stormwater connections that ensure: stable transition from a constructed drainage system to the natural waterway sustainable water quality management restoration of vegetation following construction. Who This guide applies to owners and developers proposing to build a stormwater pipe connecting to a waterway owned or managed by Sydney Water in the RHDA. This applies to connection proposals for residential, commercial, industrial and other government agencies (e.g. Roads and Maritime Services) developments. Why Construction of stormwater connections to natural waterways affects the waterway and the riparian corridor. This guide ensures that owners and developers design and construct stormwater connections to a safe and sustainable standard by: minimising the number of uncontrolled stormwater discharges ensuring new stormwater connections cause minimal environmental impact to the waterway and its water quality restoring and maintaining disturbed waterfront and riparian vegetation following construction activities.

There are also extensive tracts on alluvial flats of the major south-west rivers. The forests are dominated by various mixtures of L. lanigerum and M. squarrosa but with varying lesser amounts of various species of Acacia and rainforest species also present.

  • Environmental Consulting Options Tasmania
    Environmental Consulting Options Tasmania AN ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PROPOSED STATE FOREST COUPE BG034A FOR SPECIES OF NATIVE ORCHID Environmental Consulting Options Tasmania (ECOtas) for Forest Practices Authority 20 September 2007 Mark Wapstra ABN 83 464 107 291 business ph.:(03) 62 513 212 28 Suncrest Avenue email: [email protected] personal ph.: (03) 62 283 220 Lenah Valley, TAS 7008 web: www.ecotas.com.au mobile ph.: 0407 008 685 ECOtas…providing options in environmental consulting ECOtas…providing options in environmental consulting Background, Scope and Purpose ECOtas was engaged to provide an assessment of the significance of proposed State forest coupe BG034A for Tasmanian native orchid species. This consultancy has arisen because Forestry Tasmania (Mersey District) proposes to subject BG034A to native forest silviculture. In correspondence (27 March 2007) between the Crowther family (who live immediately adjacent to the State forest) and Mr Bob Hamilton (Forestry Tasmania, Mersey District), the potential significance of this part of State forest for terrestrial native orchids was raised. Specifically, the Crowther family indicated that about 40 species of orchids have been found from within the proposed coupe area (and several more species in nearby areas), and the list provided in correspondence included three species currently listed on the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. The Forest Practices Authority engaged ECOtas to determine the significance of the proposed coupe, especially in regard to the potential of the area to support species of high conservation significance (e.g. legislatively listed species, species with unusual or disjunct distributions, etc.). The report is deliberately brief and is not intended to provide recommendations or management prescriptions for threatened flora.
