Wellington National Park, Westralia Conservation Park and Wellington Discovery Forest WELLINGTON NATIONAL PARK, WESTRALIA CONSERVATION PARK AND WELLINGTON DISCOVERY FOREST Management Plan 2008 Department of Environment and Conservation Conservation Commission of Western Australia VISION Over the life of the plan, a balance will exist between the conservation of the planning areas’ natural values and the public demand for recreation and water supply. The area will make an important contribution to reservation of the Jarrah Forest, where natural values, such as granite outcrops, mature growth forest, ecosystems of the Collie River, and our knowledge of them, will be maintained and enhanced for future generations. Visitors to the area will enjoy a range of sustainable recreation opportunities in a variety of forest settings, and provide a benefit to the regional economy. The community will regard the area as a natural asset and will have a greater understanding of its values, and support for their management, through the Wellington Discovery Forest and other education and interpretive facilities. The ancient landscape of the Collie River valley will be recognised as a forest environment of great visual aesthetic appeal, and for its rich Aboriginal heritage, which will be kept alive through the active and ongoing involvement of local Aboriginal people. ii PREFACE The Department of Environment and Conservation (the Department) manages reserves vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia (Conservation Commission) and prepares management plans on their behalf. The Conservation Commission issues draft management plans for public comment and provides proposed (final) management plans for approval by the Minister for the Environment. The Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 (the ‘CALM Act’) specifies that management plans must contain: a) a statement of policies and guidelines proposed to be followed; and b) a summary of operations proposed to be undertaken. In accordance with section 55 of the CALM Act, the term of the final management plan will be 10 years, or until the plan is superseded by a new management plan. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This management plan was prepared by the planning team for Wellington National Park, Westralia Conservation Park, proposed Westralia Forest Conservation Area and the Wellington Discovery Forest: Denam Bennetts (Planner and management plan co-ordinator), Drew Griffiths and Peter Henderson. Comment and advice during the preparation of the plan was provided by: Departmental staff—in particular Roger Armstrong, Robert Chandler, Peter Hanly, Paul McCluskey, Dave Hampton, Daryl Moncrieff, Kim Williams and Wellington District Staff; specialist branches within the Department; the Department’s Corporate Executive; the Department of Water (DoW) and Water Corporation (WC), and members of the Conservation Commission.

However, for a variety of reasons the editors of most of these journals are unwilling to accept articles that are lengthy or contain information that is preliminary in nature. Nevertheless, much material of this type is of interest and value to other scientists, administrators or planners and should be published.

  • Fishes and Freshwater Crayfishes Of
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 91: 155–161, 2008 Fishes and freshwater crayfishes of major catchments of the Leschenault Estuary: Preston and Brunswick River, including first record of a freshwater gudgeon (Eleotridae) from south-western Australia D L Morgan1 & S J Beatty2 1 Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research, Murdoch University, South St, Murdoch, WA 6150. [email protected] 2 Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research, Murdoch University, South St, Murdoch, WA 6150. [email protected] Manuscript received September 2007; accepted February 2008 Abstract A paucity of information exists on the fish and crayfish communities of two major rivers that flow into the Leschenault Inlet, south-western Western Australia. This study documents these communities and assesses their ecological significance. During February 2006, seven sites were sampled for fish and freshwater crayfish on each of the Brunswick River and Preston River with additional sites having been previously sampled in the summer of 1999/2000. The rivers generally had similar native fish communities with four endemic species, Freshwater Cobbler, Western Minnow, Western Pygmy Perch and Nightfish making up 60% of all fish captures (2670) with the remaining being from three feral freshwater and six estuarine species. Two native species of freshwater crayfish were also recorded, the Marron and Gilgie. The endemic Western Minnow and Western Pygmy Perch were the most common and widespread native fish species in both rivers. This study recorded what appears to be the Empire Gudgeon in the Preston River; the first record of this northern Australian species in the South-west Drainage Division, and its presence was attributed either to marine larval drift or as a result of an aquarium release.

Current address: Department of Aquattic Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Perth, Western Australia, 6986, Australia * correspondence to [email protected] SUUMMARY Margaret River and the Cape to Cape region in the extreme south-western tip of Australia are located between Capee Naturaliste in the north and Cape Leeuwin in the south and encompass all intervening catchments that drain westward to the In- dian Ocean. The region has a Mediteerranean climate and houses 13 native, obligate freshwater macrofauna species (i.e. fishes, decapod crustaceans and a bivalve mol- lusc), four of which are listed as threatened under State and/or Commonwealth leg- islation. The most imperiled species are the Margaret River Burrowing Crayfish (Engaewa pseudoreducta) and Hairy Marron (Cherax tenuimanus), both of which are endemic to the Margaret River catchment and listed as critically endangered (also by the IUCN), and Balston’s Pygmy Perch (Nannatherina balstoni) which is vulner- able. The region also houses several fishes that may represent neew, endemic taxa based on preliminary molecular evidence. Freshwater ecosystems in the region face numerous threats including global climate change, a growing huuman population, introduced species, destructive land uses, riparian degradation, waater abstraction, declinning environmental flows, instream barriers, and fire.

INTRODUCTION Little intensive research has been done on the lichen flora of Western Australia though collections were nade at quite an early date, The earliest taxononic publication appears to be that of Fries (1846), who described 25 species, the Tesult of collections by L. Preiss fron Rottnest Island and the south-west part of the state. The following year Taylor (1847) listed 1"6 lichens from Western Australia in his catalogue of the W.J. Hooker Herbariun. Mueller (1887) collated the early records and produced a list of Australian lichens, includlng two species from Western Australia which had not previously been recorded:.

FOREWORD Recovery Plans are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Policy Statements No 44 and 50. Recovery Plans outline the recovery actions that are required to address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. Recovery Plans delineate, justify and schedule management actions necessary to support the recovery of threatened species and ecological communities. The attainment of objectives and the provision of funds necessary to implement actions are subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery Plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official position of individuals or organisations represented on the Recovery Team. This Recovery Plan was approved by the Department of Environment and Conservation, Western Australia. Approved Recovery Plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in status of the taxon or ecological community and the completion of recovery actions.
