  • Southern Highlands
    SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS This information is intended as a guide only. Please check websites. Location: The Southern Highlands is a region south west of Sydney and quite close (45 – 60 minutes by car) to the outer suburbs of Sydney. It is area managed by Wingecarribee Shire Council. The main towns in the region are Mittagong, Bowral, Moss Vale, Bundanoon and Robertson. There are also a number of small villages set in a rural environment. It is on the major route between Sydney and Melbourne (the M5 and Hume Highway) and is about 2 hours from Canberra, the national capital. Overview: The proximity of the Southern Highlands to Sydney, plus its cool temperate climate and vibrant cultural life has attracted many people to live in this region as they can commute to Sydney for work. The region also attracts day trippers and holiday makers from Sydney and Canberra, drawn there by its spectacular natural scenery, beautiful gardens and historic towns such as Berrima. Other tourist attractions include galleries, cafes and restaurants, bush walks, caves and wineries. The various towns in the Southern Highlands each have their own character and special events. As the towns are quite close to each other, people can live in one town and easily visit the others. Because of its proximity to South West Sydney, there is the possibility for people on SHEV visas to live in the Southern Highlands and commute to work or study in an area such as Campbelltown which is 45 minutes by car and 1 hour by train. It is also easy to get back to Sydney to see family and friends and participate in cultural or religious celebrations.

  • Chapter 5 Ecosystem Health
    Chapter 5 Ecosystem Health Key Points Indicator Status of Indicator 5.1 Ecosystem water quality Since the 2003 Audit period, the number of locations exceeding ANZECC water quality guidelines has increased for physical parameters such as conductivity, remained high for nutrient parameters and reduced for toxicants. 5.2 Macroinvertebrates There are less sampled locations with similar to reference ratings compared with the 2003 Audit period. Macroinvertebrate assemblages at 32% of the sampled locations in the Catchment were found to be significantly impaired and 5% of all sampled locations had a severely impaired rating. 5.3 Fish Monitoring of fish communities in the Catchment is still needed as a potentially useful indicator of ecosystem health. 5.4 Riparian vegetation Riparian zones outside the Special Areas are likely to be under variable pressure due to little to no standing vegetation cover, stock access, and the presence of exotic species. Change in condition of vegetation in the riparian zone is not able to be determined. 5.5 Native vegetation Native vegetation covers approximately 50% of the Catchment. Approved land clearance substantially decreased over the 2005 Audit period. Healthy and intact natural ecosystems play a crucial role in maintaining water quality as they provide processes that help purify water, and mitigate the effects of drought and flood. An overall picture of the ecological health of a catchment can be achieved using tools such as water quality, habitat descriptions, biological monitoring and flow characteristics (Qld DNRM 2001). Ecosystem health assessment has become more ecologically based in recent years with biological measures such as ecosystem structure and species diversity having been added to traditional physico-chemical water quality analysis to provide a more comprehensive picture of the condition or catchment health (Qld DNRM 2001).
