SC6.1.13 Landscape Plans and Plant Species SC6.1.13 Landscape Plans and Plant Species SC6.1.13.1.1 Purpose (1) The purpose and effect of this policy is to: (a) outline the circumstance when Council is likely to request a landscape plan in association with other development; (b) describe the standard of information required in a landscape plan for various types of development; (c) describe the type of information and design requirements to be included in a landscape plan; and, (d) provide information on appropriate species selection for landscaping works associated with new developments in the region. SC6.1.13.1.2 When Council may request Landscape Plans (1) Without limiting its discretion under SPA section 2763, Council may request landscape plans in any circumstances Council determines. SC6.1.13.1.3 Definitions “landscape plan” means a plan containing the information detailed in SC6.1.13.1.4 and SC6.1.13.1.5 below. “landscaping” means the treatment of premises for the purposes of enhancing or protecting the amenity of a site and the surrounding locality by: (a) Screening by fences, walls or other means; (b) Planting of trees, hedges, shrubs and grass; (c) Formation of banks, terraces or other alterations to the land form; (d) Laying out of gardens or courts; (e) Installation of other amenity features, including hardscape elements of seats, rubbish bins, bollards, shade structures, lighting and playgrounds. The term excludes any form of paving for vehicle driveways, parking areas, access lanes and the like. Groundcovers (0-1 metre): compact low herbaceous plants and shrubs that cover the surface of the ground helping to prevent erosion and weed invasion (includes grasses, clumping vines, strappy leaved plants, rushes and small shrubs). Shrub (1-5 metres): multi-stemmed, woody plants of relatively low height, vegetation can be to the ground, plants able to be pruned without adversely affecting health. Tree (5 plus metres): commonly a single trunked woody plant of significant size when fully grown. SC6.1.13.1.4 Standard of Landscape Plans and information required (1) Without limiting its discretion under SPA section 2764, Council may request the standards of landscape plans and specific information identified in Table SC6.10 Landscape Plan Standards for the following types of applications: (a) preliminary approval - Conceptual Landscape Plan; (b) development permit for subdivision of land - Limited Landscape Plan; (c) development permit for material change of use - Full Landscape Plan.

  • BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
    BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands.

First Published: 1990 580.994 1 Australian Etext Collections at botany prose nonfiction 1940- women writers The flower chain the early discovery of Australian plants Sydney Kangaroo Press 1998 Preface Viewing Australia through the early European discovery, naming and appreciation of its flora, gives a fresh perspective on the first white people who went to the continent. There have been books on the battle to transform the wilderness into an agriculturally ordered land, on the convicts, on the goldrush, on the discovery of the wealth of the continent, on most aspects of settlement, but this is the first to link the story of the discovery of the continent with the slow awareness of its unique trees, shrubs and flowers of Australia. The Flower Chain Chapter 1 The Flower Chain Begins Convict chains are associated with early British settlement of Australia, but there were also lighter chains in those grim days. Chains of flowers and seeds to be grown and classified stretched across the oceans from Botany Bay to Europe, looping back again with plants and seeds of the old world that were to Europeanise the landscape and transform it forever.
