Identification of Myrtle Rust (Uredo Rangelii)
Identification of Myrtle Rust (Uredo rangelii) 6 October 2010 Hosts Myrtle Rust has been found on the NSW Central Coast on eleven species of cultivated native plants: • Agonis flexuosa (willow myrtle) cv. 'Afterdark' and cv. 'Burgundy' • Tristania neriifolia (water gum) • Syncarpia glomulifera (turpentine) • Callistemon viminalis (bottle brush) • Leptospermum rotundifolium (tea tree) • Syzygium leumannii x Syzygium wilsonii (lilly pilly) • Syzygium jambos (rose apple) • Syzygium australe cv. 'Meridian Midget' • Metrosideros collina cv. Dwarf • Austromyrtus inophloia cv. 'Aurora' and 'Blushing Beauty' (renamed to Gossia inophloia) • Rhodamnia rubescens (scrub turpentine) Other known hosts include Myrtus communis (common myrtle). At present, severe infestation has only been observed on A. flexuosa (willow myrtle) cv. 'Afterdark', Tristania neriifolia (water gum) and Austromyrtus inophloia cv. 'Aurora' and 'Blushing Beauty'. Spread Rust spores travel very long distances on the wind and may infect stands of susceptible plants many kilometres from the original infestation. Rust spores are also gathered and spread by bees. These are natural means of spread that are difficult to control. Humans can also easily spread Myrtle Rust in infested plant material including cut flowers and nursery stock, on clothing and dirty equipment including containers and pruning shears, and on contaminated timber products. Always practise good hygiene when working with native plants and general nursery stock. Images See the following pages.

Landcorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey
LandCorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey October 2016 Executive summary Introduction Through the Royalties for Regions “Growing our South” initiative, the Shire of Denmark has received funding to provide a second crossing of the Denmark River, to upgrade approximately 6.5 km of local roads and to support the delivery of an industrial estate adjacent to McIntosh Road. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was commissioned by LandCorp to undertake a biological assessment of the project survey area. The purpose of the assessment was to identify and describe flora, vegetation and fauna within the survey area. The outcomes of the assessment will be used in the environmental assessment and approvals process and will identify the possible need for, and scope of, further field investigations will inform environmental impact assessment of the road upgrades. The survey area is approximately 68.5 ha in area and includes a broad area of land between Scotsdale Road and the Denmark River and the road reserve and adjacent land along East River Road and McIntosh Road between the Denmark Mt Barker Road and South Western Highway. A 200 m section north and south along the Denmark Mt Barker Road from East River Road was also surveyed. The biological assessment involved a desktop review and three separate field surveys, including a winter flora and fauna survey, spring flora and fauna survey and spring nocturnal fauna survey. Fauna surveys also included the use of movement sensitive cameras in key locations. Key biological aspects The key biological aspects and constraints identified for the survey area are summarised in the following table.

Lower Warren River Action Plan
Lower Warren River Action Plan 2006 Lower Warren River Action Plan 2006 Prepared for Warren Catchments Council- Southern Forests Landcare and the Manjimup Land Conservation District Committee Funded by the Natural Heritage Trust and the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality ISBN: 978-0-9802852-1-5 How to use this river action plan How to use this river action plan This report was prepared for the Manjimup Land Conservation District Committee (LCDC) to assist landholders in the lower Warren River catchment. It is hoped that by providing this summary of lower Warren River foreshore condition and weed presence, future works in the area can be more focused on identified management priorities and issues. The action plan is separated into eight sections. A brief overview of the river action plan and key findings is given in the summary. The lower Warren River has been divided into four sections for assessment and reporting purposes. A map accompanying the summary (Figure 1, p. vii) gives an indication of these sections. This overall map relates to smaller, section-specific maps in Section 7. Section 1 provides background information on the river action plan, including aims and objectives of the study and involvement of various groups and persons. Section 2 outlines the study area, covering issues such as landscape, climate, flora and fauna, as well as Indigenous heritage values. Section 3 covers general river processes as well as water quality issues specific to the lower Warren River. Section 4 provides an overview of the methodology involved in assessing foreshore condition. Section 5 outlines management issues identified as a result of the foreshore surveys.

Species Information
Species information 1 Forest Products Commission Species information Beefwood Grevillea striata Beefwood is a medium-sized tree to 14 m, usually with a single trunk and diameter up to 600 mm. Bark is deeply fissured, rough dark grey to the branches, while new bark is rufous red. It grows in the northern Goldfields, Murchison, eastern Gascoyne, southern Pilbara and the Kimberley. Wood description Heartwood is a rich red colour, and straight-grained, with distinctive rays on quartersawn timber. Sapwood is a pale yellow. Wood density Green density is about 1230 kg/m3, air-dry density about 965 kg/m3, and basic density about 820 kg/m3. Drying and shrinkage Tangential and radial shrinkage are about 3.3 and 2.0 per cent respectively. Workability Goldfields craftsmen rate beefwood as very poor for sanding, average for boring, screwholding, stability and finishing, good for machinability and gluing, and excellent for turning. Strength group and properties AS2879 rates beefwood as (S3) and (SD4), which was confirmed by the above air-dry density. The more important strength properties based on strength groups are given in the table below. Property Units Green Dry Modulus of Rupture MPa 73 94 Modulus of Elasticity MPa 12400 14000 Max Crushing Strength MPa 36 54 Hardness KN - - Availability Limited availability because of the scattered nature of the resource. Uses Aborigines used the dark hard resin as an adhesive in tool manufacture. The timber has considerable potential for craftwork, particularly as inlays in marquetry. 2 Forest Products Commission Species information Black morrel Eucalyptus melanoxylon Black morrel is a small to medium-sized tree scattered through the eastern Wheatbelt and central Goldfields, extending south-east of Lake King.

Wildland Urban Interface Approved Plant List
WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE APPROVED PLANT LIST This approved plant list has been developed to serve as a tool to determine the placement of vegetation within the Wildland Urban Interface areas. The approved plant list has been compiled from several similar lists which pertain to the San Francisco Bay Area and to the State of California. This approved plant list is not intended to be used outside of the San Mateo County area. The “required distance” for each plant is how far the given plant is required to be from a structure. If a plant within the approved plant list is not provided with a “required distance”, the plant has been designated as a fire-resistant plant and may be placed anywhere within the defensible space area. The designation as a fire-resistant plant does not exempt the plant from other Municipal Codes. For example, as per Hillsborough Municipal Code, all trees crowns, including those that have been designated as fire resistant, are required to be 10 feet in distance from any structure. Fire resistant plants have specific qualities that help slow down the spread of fire, they include but are not limited to: • Leaves tend to be supple, moist and easily crushed • Trees tend to be clean, not bushy, and have little deadwood • Shrubs are low-growing (2’) with minimal dead material • Taller shrubs are clean, not bushy or twiggy • Sap is water-like and typically does not have a strong odor • Most fire-resistant trees are broad leafed deciduous (lose their leaves), but some thick-leaf evergreens are also fire resistant.
