Biodiversity Assessment: Cape Bridgewater 4 1 Introduction Ecology and Heritage Partners Pty Ltd was commissioned by Australian Tourism Pty Ltd to conduct a Biodiversity Assessment at Lot 1 PS500866 Blowholes Road, Cape Bridgewater. The purpose of the assessment was to identify the extent and type of remnant native vegetation present within the study area, as well as conduct targeted surveys for species listed under the EnvironmentP rotectionandBiodiversityConservation Actand to determine the presence of significant flora and fauna species and/or ecological communities. This report presents the results of the assessments and discusses the potential ecological and legislative implications associated with the proposed action. 2 Study Area The study area is located at Lot 1 PS500866 Blowholes Road, Cape Bridgewater, approximately 20 kilometres west of Portland (Figure 1). The site covers approximately 10 hectares and is bound by Blowholes road to the north, Bridgewater bay to the south, and pastureland to the east and west. Although the entire property is private land, the Great Southwest Walk intersects through the eastern coastal headland within the property. The site holds hilltops within the central to western extent which slopes downwards towards the Great Southwest Walk. To the east of the Great Southwest Walk, the landscape has formed steep cliff faces amongst slopes greater than 20 percent gradient. According to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) NatureKit Map (DELWP 2019a), the study area occurs within the Bridgewater bioregion. It is located within the jurisdiction of the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and the Glenelg Shire Council municipality. 3 Methods 3.1 Desktop Assessment Relevant literature, online-resources and databases were reviewed to provide an assessment of flora and fauna values associated with the study area. The following information sources were reviewed: The DELWP NatureKit Map (DELWP 2019a) and Native Vegetation Information Management (NVIM) Tool

  • The Gunditjmara Land Justice Story Jessica K Weir
    The legal outcomes the Gunditjmara achieved in the 1980s are often overlooked in the history of land rights and native title in Australia. The High Court Onus v Alcoa case and the subsequent settlement negotiated with the State of Victoria, sit alongside other well known bench marks in our land rights history, including the Gurindji strike (also known as the Wave Hill Walk-Off) and land claim that led to the development of land rights legislation in the Northern Territory. This publication links the experiences in the 1980s with the Gunditjmara’s present day recognition of native title, and considers the possibilities and limitations of native title within the broader context of land justice.

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the stratigraphy of the host Bridgewater Formation (Pleistocene) at Moyjil and provides the context to the shelly deposits, evidence of fire and geochronological sampling. We have identified five superposed calcarenite–palaeosol units in the Bridgewater Formation, together with two prominent erosional surfaces that may have hosted intensive human activity. Part of the sequence is overlain by the Tower Hill Tuff, previously dated as 35 ka. Coastal marine erosion during the Last Interglacial highstand created a horizontal surface on which deposits of stones and shells subsequently accumulated. Parts of the erosional surface and some of the stones are blackened, perhaps by fire.
