Stormwater Connections to Natural Waterways Rouse Hill Development Area
Stormwater connections to natural waterways Rouse Hill Development Area Overview What This guide explains what you need to do when building a stormwater connection into Sydney Water’s natural open channel waterways in the Rouse Hill Development Area (RHDA). We allow stormwater connections that ensure: stable transition from a constructed drainage system to the natural waterway sustainable water quality management restoration of vegetation following construction. Who This guide applies to owners and developers proposing to build a stormwater pipe connecting to a waterway owned or managed by Sydney Water in the RHDA. This applies to connection proposals for residential, commercial, industrial and other government agencies (e.g. Roads and Maritime Services) developments. Why Construction of stormwater connections to natural waterways affects the waterway and the riparian corridor. This guide ensures that owners and developers design and construct stormwater connections to a safe and sustainable standard by: minimising the number of uncontrolled stormwater discharges ensuring new stormwater connections cause minimal environmental impact to the waterway and its water quality restoring and maintaining disturbed waterfront and riparian vegetation following construction activities.

YELLOW BOX–BLAKELY's RED GUM GRASSY WOODLAND Action Plan
YELLOW BOX–BLAKELY’S RED GUM GRASSY WOODLAND ENDANGERED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN PART B 111 PREAMBLE Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland was declared an endangered ecological community on 19 May 1997 (Instrument No. DI1997-89 Nature Conservation Act 1980; Appendix A). Under section 101 of the Nature Conservation Act 2014, the Conservator of Flora and Fauna is responsible for preparing a draft action plan for listed ecological communities. The first action plan for this ecological community was prepared in 1999 (ACT Government 1999). This revised edition supersedes all previous editions. In this action plan, ‘Endangered YB-BRG Woodland’ refers specifically to remnants of the federally listed (EPBC Act 1999) Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland endangered ecological community. Reference to ‘YB-BRG Woodland’ encompasses areas of Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland that may not meet all criteria for listing as an endangered ecological community, but contain critical components of the community, thereby retaining biodiversity values worthy of management action. Measures proposed in this action plan complement those proposed in the action plans for Natural Temperate Grassland, and for component threatened species that occur in Box-Gum woodland: Small Purple Pea (Swainsona recta), Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsonii), and Tarengo Leek Orchid (Prasophyllum petilum), available at the ACT Government’s Environment website. CONSERVATION CONSERVATION STATUS OBJECTIVES Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland is The overarching goal of this action plan is to conserve declared a threatened ecological community according Endangered Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy to the following legislation: Woodland (hereafter Endangered YB-BRG Woodland) in perpetuity as a viable ecological community across its → National: Environment Protection and Biodiversity geographic range in the ACT. -

General management issues Some areas of native grassland are human-induced Most lowland native grassland in Tasmania has been and exist as a result of heavy burning, tree clearing cleared for agriculture since European settlement or dieback of the tree layer in grassy woodlands.

New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus Nova-Anglica) Grassy
Advice to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee on an Amendment to the List of Threatened Ecological Communities under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Name of the ecological community New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Grassy Woodlands This advice follows the assessment of two public nominations to list the ‘New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Woodlands on Sediment on the Northern Tablelands’ and the ‘New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Woodlands on Basalt on the Northern Tablelands’ as threatened ecological communities under the EPBC Act. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) recommends that the national ecological community be renamed New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Grassy Woodlands. The name reflects the fact that the definition of the ecological community has been expanded to include all grassy woodlands dominated or co-dominated by Eucalyptus nova-anglica (New England Peppermint), in New South Wales and Queensland. Also the occurrence of the ecological community extends beyond the New England Tableland Bioregion, into adjacent areas of the New South Wales North Coast and the Nandewar bioregions. Part of the national ecological community is listed as endangered in New South Wales, as ‘New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Woodland on Basalts and Sediments in the New England Tableland Bioregion’ (NSW Scientific Committee, 2003); and, as an endangered Regional Ecosystem in Queensland ‘RE 13.3.2 Eucalyptus nova-anglica ± E. dalrympleana subsp. heptantha open-forest or woodland’ (Qld Herbarium, 2009). 2. Public Consultation A technical workshop with experts on the ecological community was held in 2005. -

The main reasons for this Ecological Community being eligible are that it has undergone a very large historical reduction in geographic distribution (since approximately 1750) and has experienced disruption of biotic processes of relative severity >90% over more than 90% of its distribution since 1750. Description White Box – Yellow Box – Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland comprises an aggregation of Grassy Woodlands (sensu Keith 2004) occurring on the tablelands and western slopes of the Great Diving Range from the Darling Downs in southern Queensland south to central Victoria. In NSW, the community corresponds broadly with Keith’s (2004) Western Slopes Grassy Woodlands, Southern Tableland Grassy Woodlands and New England Grassy Woodlands classes. -

Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there. -
