Brockman 4 Camps Vegetation and Flora Survey
Biota (n): The living creatures of an area; the flora and fauna together 21 August 2012 Peter Royce Principal Advisor - Environmental Approvals Approvals Division Rio Tinto Central Park 152-158 St George’s Terrace Perth WA 6000 (via email) Dear Peter Brockman 4 Camps Vegetation and Flora Survey Biota Environmental Sciences (Biota) was commissioned by Rio Tinto Pty Ltd (Rio Tinto) to conduct a vegetation and flora survey for the Brockman Camps area (hereafter referred to as the “study area”), located east of the operational BS4 mine and immediately adjacent to the existing accommodation village. This brief report presents the results obtained during that field work. Scope and Objectives The potential development site (defined by the boundaries of the study area) around the Brockman Camps extends over an area of 180 ha, of which 53 ha has been cleared or is deemed as extensively disturbed. Prior to this clearing, a survey conducted by Biota in early December 2006 and late January 2007 recorded no flora of conservation significance in this area (Biota 2007). Vegetation over about 30 ha of the remaining area was previously mapped as part of the Brockman Syncline 4 (BS4) project (Biota 2006). The botanical field survey was therefore conducted over the remaining 97 ha of the study area (adjoining the previously surveyed BS4 study area). This survey was undertaken in accordance with the Guidance Statement No. 51 "Terrestrial Flora and Vegetation Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment in Western Australia" (EPA 2004).

(Malvaceae) is described below as part of a large revision of the Australian components of H. sect. Bombicella DC. Restricted to Katjarra (the Carnarvon Range), part of the Birriliburu Indigenous Protected Area some 160 km north-north-west of Wiluna, this species was first collected in 1998 but only recognised as distinctive in 2012 when it was added to Western Australia’s vascular plant census under the name H. sp. Carnarvon (S. van Leeuwen 5110) by Johan Hurter (Parker & Biggs 2013). It was subsequently recollected during regional surveys in August 2012 and May 2013 by Gibson et al. (2014), who astutely collected ample herbarium samples along with detailed habitat notes and photographs. Examination of this material, along with specimens from all Australian members of sect. Bombicella, has confirmed that it is morphologically distinct, with its novel status further supported by a preliminary molecular phylogeny of the Australian Hibiscus (McLay, in prep.). -

Conservation Science W. Aust. 8 (1) : 95–111 (2011) Flora and vegetation of banded iron formations of the Yilgarn Craton: the Montague Range Zone of the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt WENDY A THOMPSON AND NIALL B SHEEHY Science Division, Department of Environment and Conservation, PO Box 51, Wanneroo, Western Australia, 6946. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Montague Range of the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt is located in the central portion of the Yilgarn Craton, c. 70 km north of the township of Sandstone. Fifty permanent vegetation quadrats were established, within which all vascular flora and a series of environmental attributes were recorded. A total of 91 taxa were recorded, representing 28 families and 43 genera. Five taxa of conservation significance were identified, including Acacia burrowsiana (P1), Stenanthemum mediale (P1), Calytrix praecipua (P3), Sauropus ramosissimus (P3), and Baeckea sp. Melita Station (H Pringle 2738; P3). A single putative variant of the Acacia aneura complex was identified; further material of A. aneura aff. argentea is required for confirmation. Three taxa (A. aneura aff. argentea, A. aneura var. conifera, A. cockertoniana) represented significant range extensions. No weeds or regional endemics were collected during the survey. Six floristic communities were identified from the survey, which were related to topographical position, geology and edaphic factors. The Montague Range represents an important repository of significant taxa and floristic communities associated with banded ironstone formations. Any future exploration or development should ensure that the important conservation values and condition of the range are retained.
