    GINNINDERRA PEPPERCRESS LEPIDIUM GINNINDERRENSE ACTION PLAN 174 Ginninderra Peppercress Action Plan PREAMBLE The Ginninderra Peppercress (Lepidium ginninderrense N.H.Scarlett) was declared an endangered species on 4 September 2001 (Instrument No. DI2001-299 under the Nature Conservation Act 1980). Under section 101 of the Nature Conservation Act 2014, the Conservator of Flora and Fauna is responsible for preparing a draft action plan for listed species. The first action plan for this species was prepared in 2003 (ACT Government 2003). This revised edition supersedes the earlier edition. This action plan includes the ACT Native Grassland Conservation Strategy set out in schedule 1 to the ‘Nature Conservation (Native Grassland) Action Plans 2017’, to the extent it is relevant. Measures proposed in this action plan complement those proposed in the action plans for Natural Temperate Grassland, Yellow Box/Red Gum Grassy Woodland, and component threatened species such as the Striped Legless Lizard (Delma impar), Grassland Earless Dragon (Tympanocryptis pinguicolla) and the Golden Sun Moth (Synemon plana). Therefore, it is a key habitat for breeding, CONSERVATION STATUS dispersal and the ongoing survival of Lepidium ginninderrense is recognised as a Ginninderra Peppercress; and as 100% of the threatened species in the following sources: plants occur on this site, the habitat is critical to maintain genetic stock and potential long-term National evolutionary development Criterion (e).’ Vulnerable species – Environment Protection Note that the EPBC listing of the critical habitat and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC was made in 2005 before the discovery of the Act) according to the following criteria: low smaller Franklin population. population size, restricted area of occupancy, and no evidence of continuing decline Australian Capital Territory (Department of Environment and Heritage Endangered – Nature Conservation Act 2014.

The information contained in this report was considered by the ACT Heritage Council in assessing the nomination for the Corroboree Ground and Aboriginal Cultural Area, Queanbeyan River against the heritage significance criteria outlined in s 10 of the Heritage Act 2004. HISTORY The Ngunnawal people are traditionally affiliated with the lands within the Canberra region. In this citation, ‘Aboriginal community’ refers to the Ngunnawal people and other Aboriginal groups within the ACT who draw significance from the place. Whilst the term ‘Aboriginal community’ acknowledges these groups in the ACT, it is recognised that their traditional territories extend outside contemporary borders. These places attest to a rich history of Aboriginal connection to the area. Traditional Aboriginal society in Canberra during the nineteenth century suffered from dramatic depopulation and alienation from traditional land based resources, although some important social institutions like intertribal gatherings and corroborees were retained to a degree at least until the 1860s.

  • Carps, Minnows Etc. the Cyprinidae Is One of the Largest Fish Families With
    SOF text final l/out 12/12/02 12:16 PM Page 60 4.2.2 Family Cyprinidae: Carps, Minnows etc. The Cyprinidae is one of the largest fish families with more than 1700 species world-wide. There are no native cyprinids in Australia. A number of cyprinids have been widely introduced to other parts of the world with four species in four genera which have been introduced to Australia. There are two species found in the ACT and surrounding area, Carp and Goldfish. Common Name: Goldfish Scientific Name: Carassius auratus Linnaeus 1758 Other Common Names: Common Carp, Crucian Carp, Prussian Carp, Other Scientific Names: None Usual wild colour. Photo: N. Armstrong Biology and Habitat Goldfish are usually associated with warm, slow-flowing lowland rivers or lakes. They are often found in association with aquatic vegetation. Goldfish spawn during summer with fish maturing at 100–150 mm length. Eggs are laid amongst aquatic plants and hatch in about one week. The diet includes small crustaceans, aquatic insect larvae, plant material and detritus. Goldfish in the Canberra region are often heavily infected with the parasitic copepod Lernaea sp. A consignment of Goldfish from Japan to Victoria is believed to be responsible for introducing to Australia the disease ‘Goldfish ulcer’, which also affects salmonid species such as trout. Apart from the introduction of this disease, the species is generally regarded as a ‘benign’ introduction to Australia, with little or no adverse impacts documented. 60 Fish in the Upper Murrumbidgee Catchment: A Review of Current Knowledge SOF text final l/out 12/12/02 12:16 PM Page 61 Distribution, Abundance and Evidence of Change Goldfish are native to eastern Asia and were first introduced into Australia in the 1860s when it was imported as an ornamental fish.
