Carnaby's Cockatoo Surveys at Western Areas, New Morning Project Forrestania
Carnaby’s Cockatoo Surveys at Western Areas, New Morning Project Forrestania. R.E. JOHNSTONE1 AND T. KIRKBY2 Scope During a field survey carried out by BIOTA Consulting during August-September 2018, a total of 1,445 Carnaby’s Cockatoo breeding habitat trees were recorded in the proposed New Morning project area. Of this total, 186 trees were found to have potentially suitable nesting hollows for Carnaby’s Cockatoos. These trees were mainly Eucalyptus salmonophloia and E. urna. The scope of this work was to undertake a targeted survey and assess the 186 trees identified by BIOTA Consulting in their report (New Morning Level 1 Targeted Terrestrial Fauna Survey, December 2018) as being potentially suitable for use by Carnaby’s Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris. The following tasks were also included within the scope of this report; Provide details of visual inspection of potential breeding trees. Provide details of the importance of the potential habitat (breeding and foraging habitat) at New Morning and advice on the value of this habitat in the general Forrestania area. Assess the residual impact to Carnaby’s Cockatoo of the New Morning project. Compile a summary Significance Table in accordance with the Australian Government Department of the Environment Significant Impact Guidelines 1.1 - Matters of National Environmental Significance Survey Methodology and Techniques Key objectives of the survey are to: 1. Carry out field visit to inspect potential breeding trees and assess the suitability of the hollows for use by Carnaby’s Cockatoo. 2. Visually inspect all trees with suitable hollows with binoculars for signs of cockatoo use, including wear around the hollow, chewing, scarring and scratch marks on trunks and branches. -

5.4 Banksia Woodland Assessment
5.4 BANKSIA WOODLAND ASSESSMENT Banksia Woodland is known to be supported by the study area, and therefore, an assessment was carried out to diagnose/characterise, map and quantify the extent of Banksia woodland TEC within and connected to the study area. Within areas of Banksia woodland within the study area and adjacent areas (for the purposes of “patch” mapping), vegetation condition was confirmed or determined and mapped in accordance with the adaptation of the Keighery (1994) and Trudgen (1988) condition scales (as per EPA 2016). The Banksia woodland assessment methodology requires sampling of quadrats and analysis of this data to determine FCTs based on analysis against the Gibson et al. (1994) dataset. Areas of Banksia woodland within the study area were sampled from 36 pegged 10 m x 10 m quadrats. FVC’s tailored diagnostic tool has been developed in direct reference to the criteria listed in the Conservation Advice Threatened Species Scientific Committee (2016), which incorporates assessment of the following: IBRA region soil and landform systems overstorey layer (Banksia species) emergent or other tree layer (associated non-Banksia tree species) understorey/mid-ground sclerophyllous shrub layer species herbaceous ground layer species FCT continuity/connectedness condition. The results of the field assessment and data analysis were used to determine the distribution of varying FCTs within mapped areas of Banksia woodland, which were also spatially mapped in terms of their condition. Spatial mapping of patches of Banksia woodland and the buffers around these was then carried out, by grouping Banksia woodland of adequate condition separated by less than 30 m. -
