South Creek Subcatchment South Creek Appendix 4.2 Appendix Subcatchment summaries Subcatchment South Creek Subcatchment South Creek The South Creek subcatchment encompasses most of the Cumberland Plain of Western Sydney. The catchment is a shale-based catchment with no gorges or sandstone dominated landscapes. The majority of the streams are “meandering vertical” river channel types streams, which are under great threat as they are confi ned largely to the Cumberland Plain in the Hawkesbury Nepean catchment. South Creek subcatchment is perhaps the most degraded subcatchment in the Hawkesbury Nepean. Hydrological and sediment regimes have been dramatically altered due to catchment vegetation clearance and increasing urbanisation. Increasing impervious surfaces in the catchment are causing changes to hydrology which has greatly altered the geomorphology and ecology of the watercourses. A number of major Sewerage Treatment Plants discharge into South Creek and these, along with stormwater from urban areas and agricultural run off , contribute to the poor water quality of the streams. The recovery potential of the catchment’s streams is very low; however, there are some very important remnants of endangered vegetation along the riparian zones. The watercourses form extremely important habitat corridors although heavy woody weed invasion exists in the riparian zones.

  • State of the Cumberland Plain Report 2017-2018
    About this report The Cumberland Plain, Western Sydney is our home - and it is in crisis. Government policy on population, planning and biodiversity are driving some of the highest rates of landclearing seen anywhere in the world and forcibly displacing entire rural communities. Our communities and our ecosystems are at breaking point: this is a war on people, community and the wild. This report outlines the state of the natural environment of Cumberland Plain in 2018 in our own voices. The Cumberland Plain is more than just an ecosystem or a calculation of hectares conserved and lost: it is our home and the traditional lands of the Darug and Gundungurra people. This report presents a review of the state of the environment in Western Sydney from the voices of local experts and volunteers here on the ground. The report has been published by the The Greater Sydney Landcare Network (GSLN), a membership-based community organisation that aims to support individuals and groups who are working to protect, restore and improve the natural environment of Greater Sydney. The report has been developed collectively through the Cumberland Conservation Network (CCN), an informal network of over 80 local conservation-minded people in Western Sydney. The CCN brings together the local environment groups, community champions, Bushcare and Landcare leaders, teachers, ecologists and government staff to provide a common voice on issues we care about. A number of incorporated groups have also provided support to this report including: ● Greater Sydney Landcare Network ● National Parks Association - Macarthur Branch ● Blacktown & District Environment Group ● Mulgoa Landcare ● Razorback Environment Protection Society Cover: Eastern Grey Kangaroos at Shanes Park.

  • Review of the Conservation Values of Commonwealth Land in Western Sydney
    Review of the Conservation Values of Commonwealth land in Western Sydney TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. INTRODUCTION 1 2. METHODOLOGY 1 3. RESULTS 2 3.1 Llandilo Conservation Values 4 3.2 Orchard Hills Conservation Values 8 3.3 Ingleburn Conservation Values 11 3.4 Holsworthy Conservation Values 15 4. DISCUSSION 20 5. CONCLUSION 22 1. INTRODUCTION The requirement for this review follows a decision by the Howard Government in 2001 in which it was decided that 828 hectares, including all of the endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland, on the former Australian Defence Industries Site in the western Sydney suburb of St Mary’s was to be protected. Around the time of this decision, the Environment Minister Senator the Hon Robert Hill noted in a media release that Cumberland Plain Woodland was once abundant in western Sydney but due to intense agricultural and urban development only eight per cent now remained. In a media release, Senator Hill stated that the Government would commission a review of all remaining Commonwealth open space in western Sydney to assess its conservation values. Senator Hill suggested that the purpose of the review was to ensure that future development of such land is compatible with good conservation practice. 2. METHODOLOGY The Department of Environment & Heritage has conducted an assessment of Commonwealth properties in western Sydney using existing in–house data on tenure, vegetation mapping, species point location records and National Estate values. In view of the commitment to review open space, only properties that were larger than 5 hectares were considered. A list of properties was derived from NSW Department of Information Technology and Management in the absence of a comprehensive Commonwealth list.

  • Newstreams a NSW DPI Email Newsletter for Recreational Fishers and Others Interested in Improving Fish Habitat to Build Native Fish Stocks
    Newstreams A NSW DPI email newsletter for recreational fishers and others interested in improving fish habitat to build native fish stocks No 5. November 2006 About Newstreams Newstreams is an email newsletter to keep people up to date about NSW fish habitat activities, and about important aquatic habitat developments in Australia and around the world. It is published electronically every two months by NSW Department of Primary Industries. In NSW many estuarine and freshwater habitats for juvenile and adult fish have been degraded or lost through urban, industrial and agricultural development. Communities around NSW are working actively to restore fish habitat. NSW NEWS Barwon-Darling snag mapping Staff from NSW DPI’s aquatic habitat rehabilitation unit have mapped 4085 snags along 175km of the 200km of Barwon-Darling River between Bourke and Brewarrina weirs. The team also assessed the condition of trees, shrubs, grasses, reeds, water plants and groundcover along parts of the river bank as part of a three year project funded by the Western CMA to develop a demonstration reach to show what native fish need to maintain and increase their numbers in freshwater rivers. Information collected from the mapping will be used to select the best sites for management options such as strategic resnagging, remediation of deep holes, protection and restoration of river bank vegetation, weed removal, carp control, fencing and alternative stock watering. Landholders, fishers and members of the community who would like to be involved with the project can contact David Cordina, conservation manager, NSW DPI Bourke, 02 6872 2077, [email protected].
