REVISION: 5/10/2007 2:36 PM Page 2 Foreword

Caring for our environment is one of the great challenges facing Australians in this new century.

One of the most compelling environmental challenges facing Australia at present is to reverse the long-term decline in the quality and extent of our native vegetation.

Native vegetation is an integral component of sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation. Within New South Wales road reserves represent 5% of the land area and play an important role as corridors across a highly modified landscape and provide habitat for native plants and animals and linkages to other remnant areas.

Roadside vegetation also has many benefits for land management and contributes to sustainable agriculture by providing shelter for livestock and crops, minimising erosion, improving water quality and a vital grazing area for travelling stock.

The Junee Roadside Vegetation Survey is an important management tool for identifying the aims of local conservation values and incorporating concepts in planning of road maintenance. The survey has been partly funded by a grant from the Federal Government’s Natural Heritage Trust and with a financial contribution from the Junee Shire Council.

By assisting this project, Junee Shire Council has shown foresight and demonstrated a commitment to the sustainable management of roadside vegetation.

I would like to thank the Council, the numerous volunteers and the contribution made by staff from other agencies for their assistance in preparing the survey, and in particular Council staff for their cooperative effort in this project.

1.1 The importance of roadside vegetation

Box woodlands that once covered much of the fertile wheat-sheep belt of south eastern Australia have been extensively cleared for agricultural activities. On the fertile soils and lower slopes of the South West Slopes it is estimated that 98% of the former range of Yellow Box (Eucalyptus melliodora) woodlands has been cleared for agriculture (Sheahan, 1998). Much of the remaining vegetation is in a degraded condition. Across Eastern Australia less than 0.1% of the original Grassy White Box Woodland is in near natural condition (Prober and Thiele, 1995, 1999). Importantly, good quality examples of these vegetation communities are found within some road reserves, and represent a more diverse range of vegetation communities than those in formal conservation areas.

Most remnant vegetation communities are now restricted to roadsides, travelling stock reserves, State Forests, Nature Reserves and National Parks. Throughout New South Wales, the network of road reserves represents about 5% of the land area, an area equivalent to that covered by National Parks. Currently in the South West Slopes region less than 1% of the original extent of native vegetation is managed under formal reserve systems.

Roadside reserves are important as they form corridors across the highly modified landscape, provide habitat for native plants and animals and linkages to other remnant areas. Roadside vegetation also has many positive values for land management. It contributes to sustainable agriculture by providing shelter for livestock and crops, preventing erosion, improving water quality, lowering water tables and thus helping reduce salinity, providing a buffer from weed invasion and grazing for travelling stock.

Roadside vegetation is a valuable educational resource as it is prominent and easily accessible. These areas are often used by amateur birdwatchers, wildflower enthusiasts, school and university students and botanical researchers for environmental studies.

Roadside reserves are a valuable source of native plant seed for revegetation projects, and are a guide for revegetation planning.

The roadside environment has many social values. It often contains significant cultural or historical items such as survey marks, bridges, rest areas and Aboriginal scar trees. The natural roadside vegetation contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the region and provides a pleasant environment in which to live and work.

1.2 The Junee Roadside Vegetation Survey

The Junee Shire Roadside Vegetation Survey was initiated by members of the community, who sought to work with Junee Shire Council to identify, protect and enhance native vegetation throughout the Shire.

The expectations of the community for conservation may conflict with the obligations of Council to maintain roads. Concern had been expressed over the impact on native vegetation of some roadside management practices employed by Council. In 1999 a meeting between Will Howard, a concerned member of the community, and Council staff identified an opportunity to work together to produce an inventory of roadside vegetation and management guidelines to ensure the preservation of this valuable natural asset.

Financial support was sought from the Natural Heritage Trust to fund the project. Although initially unsuccessful, persistence by Council was rewarded with a grant in 2000-2001.

Through the vegetation survey and management guide, Council sought to: • Classify the conservation value of roadside vegetation. • Develop management guidelines to maintain and enhance the native vegetation under Council control. • Ensure management of roadside vegetation is consistent with statutory requirements, other land managers, and community expectations. • Encourage the community and adjoining landholders to help manage and enhance the roadside environment.

Following a public tender process Greening Australia NSW was engaged to conduct the vegetation survey in August 2001.

1.3 Responsibility for road reserve management

Management of road reserves is defined by a number of State Government Acts. Local government is responsible for the management of road reserves under its care and control, as set out in the Roads Act, 1993.

Section 145 or the Roads Act, 1993 defines the following road classes: • Council Public Roads as vested in the Local Government • Crown Public Roads as vested in the Crown • Freeways as vested in the Roads and Traffic Authority

Public Roads may be either • Formed in general terms under the control of Council • Unformed in general terms under the control of the Department of Land and Water Conservation

Section 5 of the Roads Act, 1993 states:

“A member of the public is entitled, as of right, to pass along a public road (whether on foot, in a vehicle or otherwise) and to drive stock or other animals along the public road”

Section 88 of the Roads Act, 1993 states:

“A roads authority may, despite any other act or law to the contrary, remove or lop any tree or other vegetation that is on or overhanging a public road if, in its opinion, it is necessary to do so for the purpose of carrying out road work or removing a traffic hazard”

Any roadside management activities must be undertaken with regard to the Native Vegetation Conservation Act 1997. This act is aimed at: • Preventing inappropriate clearance of native vegetation; • Sustainably managing native vegetation that remains; • Preventing further economic loss from unsustainable clearing & land degradation; • Encouraging revegetation and rehabilitation of land with appropriate native vegetation; and • Streamlining native vegetation management.

Under the Rural Fires Act 1997, a public authority has a duty to take measures to prevent the occurrence of bush fires on land under its control and is responsible for the costs incurred. The operation of other responsibilities under this act is discussed further in the Management Guide section of this report.

The Noxious Weeds Act 1993 defines the weeds that are declared noxious, the control categories for those weeds, and the responsibilities of land managers for weed control.

With regard to road reserves: • An occupier of land is responsible for weeds on land they are occupying REVISION: 5/10/2007 2:36 PM Page 7 • A public authority that is the occupier must control weeds on that land to the extent necessary to prevent weeds from spreading to adjoining lands • A local control authority (e.g. Council) must control weeds on roads to the extent necessary under the category for that weed (Section 14) • Any public road enclosed with adjoining lands is considered to be occupied by that person (Section 17)

The Rural Lands Protection Act 1998 provides for travelling stock routes and travelling stock reserves along public roads. Under the Act, Rural Lands Protection Boards must prepare Function Management Plans for reserves under their control (Sections 44 & 45). The plans are to include conservation values. A Board may remove, fell, or destroy timber from a reserve under its control but will need to reference National Parks and Wildlife Service or State Forests of NSW in most cases (Section 89). Rural Lands Protection Boards are required to control noxious weeds as a public authority under the Noxious Weeds Act.

1.4 Junee Shire – an overview

Situated midway between Melbourne and Sydney on the western extremity of the South West Slopes region of New South Wales, Junee Shire encompasses an area of 2031 square kilometres in a predominantly fertile, undulating landscape. Major geographic features are the Bethungra Hills to the north east of the Shire, and the Murrumbidgee River which forms the Shire’s south eastern boundary. Soils of the Junee area are generally red podzolic with a granite base. The average annual rainfall is 532mm but varies across the Shire with the north western portion significantly drier than the southern areas. The median summer maximum temperature is 31.3ºC and the winter median minimum is 2.6ºC.

Junee Shire has a population of 5839 with four villages in addition to the major township of Junee. These urban areas occupy approximately 5 square kilometres of the Shire, with rural residential land covering approximately 4 square kilometres.

Gross value of agricultural commodities produced in Junee Shire is in the order of $275 million annually. Cereals, canola and pasture seeds are the main crops, and the Shire is a major producer of prime lamb, wool and beef. Agricultural diversification is increasing with products such as emu, llama, lavender, olives, pulse crops, nuts and niche marketed meats. 1.5 Survey Methodology

The standard survey method developed by the NSW Roadside Environment Committee was used for the Junee Shire survey. This method has been employed by a number of Shires throughout the region. It is designed to enable survey staff and volunteers to consistently collect and record data over vast lengths of road from varying roadside vegetation communities.

The survey technique aims to record the main indigenous and introduced plant species, wildlife habitat quality, and potential damage by management practices. A broad conservation value is then assigned to roadsides according to the relative condition of the native vegetation. As this is a rapid survey method, only those plant species easily identified from a moving vehicle are recorded. More comprehensive

REVISION: 5/10/2007 2:36 PM Page 8 assessments were conducted in several areas of high conservation value. Further botanical surveying of these areas may be warranted in the future.

Assessment by this technique provides a snapshot of the health of roadside vegetation at the time of survey. The conservation status of any roadside may change over time depending on how it is managed.

Surveying was conducted from October to December 2001 by Greening Australia staff with assistance from local volunteers. Spring to early summer is considered the best period to undertake surveying as many plant species are flowering at this time, making plant identification easier.

The categories of roadside vegetation are divided into ‘low’, ‘medium’ and ‘high’ conservation value. High conservation value roadsides contain good representation of overstorey and understorey species, few if any introduced plants, wildlife habitat and reasonable regeneration, occurring within a road reserve at least six metres wide.

Medium conservation roadsides are partially modified, have higher weed populations and often lack understorey. Some wildlife habitat is provided, although to a lesser extent than in high conservation value areas.

Low conservation roadsides will usually have isolated trees, little or no understorey, little or no regeneration, a large quantity of introduced plants within a reserve of five metres or less in width.

The term conservation value is used in this context as representative of the quality of native vegetation present and does not suggest that a roadside with low conservation value will have no plants of conservation merit within it.

The assessment sheet, at Appendix C, is divided into three sections; the header (A), scored boxes (B to F) and an unscored section (G to M). Information to locate each roadside section is recorded in the header. Scored boxes are completed to determine the conservation value. The unscored section provides information which is useful to road managers, but is not required for determining a conservation value.

SURVEY RESULTS

2.1 Roadside vegetation in Junee Shire

The roadside vegetation survey assessed 886 kilometres of road reserves within Junee Shire. Appendix A lists all the roads assessed, with details of road length, road type, conservation value, native plants, introduced plants and comments.

Survey results reveal that within Junee Shire:

• 12% of roadsides are of high conservation value • 35% of roadsides are of medium conservation value • 53% of roadsides are of low conservation value

Conservation values were assessed separately for each side of the road reserve, and these percentages represent an average of both sides.

A description of each section of road surveyed, including conservation value, species identified and management comments is located at Appendix A.

2.2 Species Recorded

The survey identified 131 native plant species, and 97 introduced plants (including exotics and non-local natives).

No rare or threatened native species were located, however a number of locally significant species were recorded. These are identified in Section 2.3. Declared noxious weeds, with their appropriate control category, are identified in Section 2.4.

It is possible that other native plants present in the Shire have not been identified during the survey, either due to their ephemeral nature or the limitations of the survey method.

NOXIOUS WEEDS

Control categories for noxious weeds are defined under the Noxious Weeds Act (1993) as follows:

W2 weeds – must be fully and continuously suppressed and destroyed

W3 weeds – must be prevented from spreading and numbers and distribution reduced

W4g weeds – must not be sold, propagated or knowingly distributed

REVISION: 5/10/2007 2:36 PM Page 20 MANAGEMENT OF ROADSIDE VEGETATION

3.1 Management according to conservation status

Having recognised the importance of native vegetation on roadsides it is essential that these areas be managed to maintain and enhance the vegetation present, while balancing the needs of all road users. Road maintenance, the provision of services, and other roadside activities can be planned in a way that is sympathetic to the conservation values of the roadside vegetation.

Guidelines for management can be broadly prescribed for each road section according to the assigned conservation values. More specific guidelines are set out for particular activities, and for areas of high conservation value.

High Conservation Value indicates areas in a relatively natural undisturbed state. These are usually fairly stable environments, requiring low management input and therefore costing less to maintain. The continued stability of these areas depends on keeping disturbance to a minimum. The impact of cars, machinery, stock and indiscriminate fire are disturbances which destroy the stability of the roadside environment and may lead to management problems such as weed invasion or soil erosion.

Medium Conservation Value indicates areas that may benefit from active management. Depending on the management goals, there are a range of actions that may be taken. Some of these areas could achieve a high conservation value status with weed control and revegetation activities. This has long term cost benefits to Council as good quality native vegetation requires little maintenance and suppresses weeds.

Low Conservation Value indicates the most degraded roadside environments, although these may still have some native vegetation present. These areas often incur high maintenance costs due to the prevalence of weeds and other exotic vegetation. They may be subject to erosion, or pose a high fire risk due to the presence of annual weeds. These roadsides may respond to managed grazing and are the preferred location for road construction stockpiles and services. Establishment of native vegetation on these areas may be prohibitively expensive, or prone to failure due to weeds. It is often more beneficial to maintain existing stands of native vegetation than to start again in highly degraded sites.

REVISION: 5/10/2007 2:36 PM Page 21

3.2 Recommendations to Council

For the general management of native vegetation on roadsides, it is recommended that Council:

• Use statutory mechanisms to control clearing and protect remnant roadside vegetation.

• Raise community awareness of the values of roadside vegetation and take the lead in involving local communities in their management.

• Where practical and consistent with roads management, maintain the widest possible vegetation corridor.

• Minimise the losses and degradation of existing roadside vegetation by avoiding disturbances that will reduce the width or increase edge effects.

• If disturbance is inevitable, revegetate with suitable local native plants, including all strata of the original vegetation.

• Record all actions taken and their results.

• Monitor the progress of revegetation projects.

• Accept that management of plant communities is a dynamic process. Management plans need to be adaptable and should be adjusted as a result of monitoring.

• Disseminate the results so that others may benefit from the experience gained.

• Continue to work with Landcare and other community groups in revegetation activities throughout the Shire

REVISION: 5/10/2007 2:36 PM Page 22 Community consultation and previous surveys throughout the region have identified a number of areas of specific concern in relation to the management of road reserves. Of these the most significant issues are:

• Road construction and maintenance • Weed control • Fire control and hazard reduction • Firewood collection

ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE

While recognising that road construction and maintenance are essential to the safety of road users, there is often conflict between efficient road maintenance activities and the preservation of native vegetation. Road construction machinery can damage roadside vegetation, create erosion problems, and facilitate the spread of weeds.

To minimise these impacts it is recommended that Council:

• Adopt as standard practice the guidelines contained in ‘Roadside Handbook for Junee Shire Council – Environmental Guidelines for Road Construction and Maintenance Workers’ published by the Olympic Highway 2000 Committee. • Assess vegetation as part of the construction planning process. • Plan the location of stockpiles and turning areas prior to construction. • Revegetate with indigenous species following construction.

Road maintenance on Dirnaseer Road has caused extensive damage to native perennial grasses WEED CONTROL

Many agricultural and environmental weeds occur on roadsides. High quality native vegetation can provide an effective barrier to the establishment and spread of many weeds. Council presently meets legislative requirements by undertaking control of noxious weeds on road reserves.

REVISION: 5/10/2007 2:36 PM Page 23 Further to these practices it is recommended that Council:

• Use integrated weed control principles to minimise the impact of control on native vegetation. • Where funds are available, control non-declared and environmental weeds where they are impacting on high and medium conservation value areas. • Avoid the spread of weeds by cleaning machinery before moving between maintenance and construction sites.

REVISION: 5/10/2007 2:36 PM Page 24 FIRE CONTROL AND HAZARD REDUCTION

Roadsides play an important role in fire control, but they can be a source of accidental and deliberate ignition. Roadside vegetation needs to be managed to reduce the effect of fire on roadside areas and adjoining properties. Under the Rural Fires Act, 1997, management of roadside reserves for fire protection is the responsibility of Council.

Section 1.3.1 of the Coolamon-Junee Bush Fire Risk Management Plan states:

“The aim of the Coolamon-Junee Bush Fire Risk Management Plan is to provide for the coordinated prevention and mitigation of bush fires for:

(a) the protection of life, property and the environment within the community; and (b) the protection, maintenance and wherever possible the enhancement of the natural and cultural values of the area through the management of appropriate fire regimes.”

Management of fuel levels on roadsides can be maintained by a variety of methods including burning, grazing, slashing and spraying.

It is recommended that Council:

• Avoid the establishment of cultivated firebreaks within high conservation areas. • Provide breaks around crops and fences to limit extension of a fire across paddocks and on to the roadside. • Restrict roadside hazard reduction activities such as slashing and spraying to the back of the table drain in high and medium conservation value areas. • Maintain and encourage perennial native grasses through an appropriate regime of burning and grazing. • Provide strategic fire advantage zones to protect critical habitat where vegetation regimes are under threat

REVISION: 5/10/2007 2:36 PM Page 25 FIREWOOD COLLECTION

Obvious signs of firewood collection are common on roadsides. Although it is against the law to remove timber from roadsides, many residents make use of the readily available firewood. In addition to growing trees, standing dead timber provides habitat for many native birds and animals.

A permit is required from State Forests of NSW to remove timber from roadsides.

It is recommended that Council:

• Enforce prohibition of firewood collection on road reserves • Where tree removal is inevitable during road construction, stockpile timber for firewood use

Marinna Road – firewood removal was identified on many roadsides in Junee Shire. This practice destroys vital habitat of native birds and animals.
