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. The Department is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered taxa 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 the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from June 2001 to May 2004 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be replaced by a full Recovery Plan after three years. This IRP was approved by the Acting Director of Nature Conservation on 10 August 2001. The provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the Department, as well as the need to address other priorities. Information in this IRP was accurate at June 2001. 2 Interim Recovery Plan for Grevillea phanerophlebia SUMMARY Scientific Name: Grevillea phanerophlebia Common Name: Vein-leaf grevillea Family: Proteaceae Flowering Period: September The Department’s Midwest The Department’s Geraldton Region: District: Shire: Mingenew Recovery Team: Geraldton District Threatened Flora Recovery Team Illustrations and/or further information: Olde, P.

  • Species List
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • Selecting and Planting Trees to Lower Risk of Pipe Blockages
    Pipes : Selecting and planting trees to lower risk of blockages This guide is designed to help you select tree and shrub species that will minimise a common problem caused by trees in home gardens – blockages (or chokes) in sewerage and water pipes. Blockages of pipes don’t only cause inconvenience; they can also result in serious health problems if they lead to sewage overflowing. They are expensive to clear and if sections of pipe need to be replaced, or a problem tree removed, the cost can be significant. Many people don’t plant trees anywhere near their pipes, though this guide lists many species you can confidently plant as close as two metres. Fine hair roots will seek out and penetrate even small cracks or joints in pipes. In addition, the force from larger roots can crack previously sound pipes, creating an entry point. Once roots have entered a pipe they grow quickly and can cause serious and costly failures in pipe systems. Some species’ roots, for instance willows and poplars, can be found more than 30 metres from the tree base. It’s much better to avoid the cause of tree root problems rather than face an inconvenient and costly remedy after the damage has been done. What if the blockage is on my property? If you have a blockage in pipes before the connection to SA Water’s mains in the street or an easement, it is your responsibility. To clear any blockages and replace sections if necessary, the services of a registered plumber must be used – this is a legal requirement of the Sewerage Act 1929.
