SUMMARY

This report details the results of a fauna assessment of a section of the South Western Highway (the Highway) referred to as “Padbury Hill Stage 2” (the subject site) (SLK 219.345 – 220.900) (Figures 1 to 4). It is understood that MRWA are proposing to widen various sections of the Highway within the subject site to improve the safety of the road.

The scope of works was to conduct a level 1 fauna survey as defined by the EPA (EPA 2004). In accordance with these guidelines the assessment has therefore included a literature review and a field reconnaissance survey. Because some listed threatened species (e.g. several species of black cockatoo) are known to occur in the general area, the scope of the survey work was expanded to include targeted assessment of the site’s significance to these species.

Daytime field survey work at the site was carried out by Greg Harewood (Zoologist) on the 5 and 6 August 2016.

Descriptions of the broadly defined fauna habitats, based primarily on vegetation units and landforms identified during the field reconnaissance survey are provided in Table 1 below, with the extent of each identified unit being shown in Figures 3.

Overall the fauna habitats within the subject site are degraded or highly degraded. The majority of the areas bordering the existing road are either cleared, partly cleared (with scattered marri and jarrah), or contain plantation timber. Most of the subject site is bordered by plantations (pines or blue gums).

The majority (158, ~96.3%) of the trees were not observed to contain hollows of any size. Four (4, ~2.4%) of the trees contained one or more possible hollows considered by the Author not to be suitable for black cockatoos to use for nesting purposes.

Two trees (2, ~1.2%) were identified as potentially containing hollows that appeared possibly big enough to allow the entry of a black cockatoo into a suitably sized and orientated branch/trunk though no evidence of actual use by black cockatoos (e.g. significant chew marks around hollow entrance) was seen.

Additional details on each habitat tree observed can be found in Appendix D.

Natural foraging habitat within the subject site is mainly comprised of areas of vegetation mapped as containing marri and/or jarrah (~3.1 ha) though the density of both plant species does vary considerably from area to area and therefor the extent and quality is difficult to quantify. Pine plantations and some scattered pine trees in other areas make up ~1.4 ha of the subject site.

Page i MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Foraging debris left by black cockatoos observed within the subject site was relatively sparse. The most commonly recorded evidence was chewed marri fruits left by foraging forest red-tailed black cockatoos and Baudin’s black cockatoo. A small number of chewed pine cones were also seen at one location. Both Carnaby’s and Baudin’s black cockatoo forage on pine so either species could be responsible.

No existing roosting trees (trees used at night by black cockatoos to rest) were identified during the survey period.

There are vast areas (~17,250 ha) of similar habitat in state forest areas near (<10km) the subject site and it can be reasonably expected that these areas also contain vegetation that represents breeding, foraging and/or roosting habitat potentially suitable for black cockatoos.

Beside the foraging debris left by black cockatoos, no evidence of any other fauna species of conservation significance utilising the subject site was found during the site reconnaissance survey.

Opportunistic fauna observations are listed in Appendix B. A total of 16 native fauna species were observed (or positively identified from foraging evidence, scats, tracks, skeletons or calls) within or very near the subject site during the survey period. One introduced species (laughing kookaburra) was also recorded.

Most of the fauna species recorded were common, widespread bird species

The exact extent of clearing required for the proposed road works is yet to be defined. Based on similar road upgrades previously undertaken in the region, the extent of clearing is however unlikely to be more than a few hectares and will be comprised of small, narrow strips of roadside vegetation spread along various sections of the existing road alignment. Residual impacts are therefore unlikely to be significant.

Based on the anticipated small extent of clearing and the habitats present, likely impacts on species of conservation significance previously recorded in the general area has been assessed, a summary of which is provided in the table below. Additional information on specific fauna species is provided in Appendix E.

In summary, impacts on potential fauna species of conservation significance are anticipated to be negligible primarily due to the relatively small area of anticipated clearing required at any one point and the large expanses of nearby similar habitat (see Figure 1). While some small, localised residual loss of fauna habitat may occur for some species, regional impacts on the status or any one species are anticipated to be negligible/non-existent.

The assessment does however indicate that any considerations required during ongoing development planning are most likely to be related to the presence of habitat used or

Page iv MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

potentially used by some threatened fauna species, in particular the EPBC Act listed black cockatoo species.

Given the extent of vegetation likely to require clearing for the project in question is relatively small and spread over a 1.6 km linear corridor, the apparent absence of any existing breeding or roosting trees and the relatively large expanses of native vegetation in adjoining areas it is the Author’s opinion that if the proposed action were to be referred to the DotE it would not be classified as a “controlled action” and would therefore not need approval under the EPBC Act to proceed.

Other listed species, such as the chuditch (for example) are also unlikely to be significantly impacted upon by clearing with the subject site at any scale.

Despite this conclusion consideration should still be given to referring the project to the DotE to ensure compliance. This recommendation is primarily based on the presence of black cockatoo habitat within the subject site.

1. INTRODUCTION

This report details the results of a fauna assessment of a section of the South Western Highway (the Highway) referred to as “Padbury Hill Stage 2” (SLK 219.345 – 220.900) (the subject site). The subject site is located within a gazetted road reserve approximately 2 km south of Balingup and runs through areas of state forest primarily used for plantation timber (pines and blue gums) (Figure 1).

It is understood that MRWA are proposing to widen various sections of the Highway within the subject site to improve the safety of the road. Sections of the Highway are bordered by some remnant native vegetation and therefore the removal/modification of habitats in use by native fauna will be required. The exact location and extent of the clearing required is not known at this stage as planning is still progressing.

Information obtained as part of this fauna assessment report will be used in conjunction with other environmental investigations to guide project planning and will also be used in the formulation of management plans, both of which will aim to minimise potential environmental impacts. It is anticipated that the information presented will also be used by regulatory authorities to assess the potential impact of the proposal on fauna and fauna habitats at the site during the project evaluation and approval process.

Page 1 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

2. SCOPE OF WORKS

Main Roads have defined the scope of the fauna assessment as:

x Subject Site – SLK 219.345 to SLK 220.900 - either side of existing cleared areas, directly bordering the current South Western Highway alignment as defined by the provided ESRI shapefile (~11.3 ha);

x Level 1 Fauna Assessment (in accordance with EPA (2004) guidelines);

x GPS mapping and reporting of black cockatoo habitat trees i.e. with a DBH >50cm including tree species, identification of actual cockatoo nest trees and those with potential hollows for black cockatoos (including GPS co-ordinates and associated shapefile)

x Observation and recording of fauna species, including any signs of occurrence and/or usage;

x Undertake fauna habitat assessment and mapping;

x Assessment of presence and potential occurrence of specially protected fauna species;

x Discussion of habitat significance and linkages; and

x Preparation of a report detailing results including a discussion of habitat significance and linkages and potential requirement for federal referral or other clearances.

Note: For the purposes of this report the term black cockatoo is in reference to Baudin’s black cockatoo Calyptorhynchus baudinii, Carnaby’s black cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris and the forest red-tailed black cockatoo Calyptorhynchus banksii naso.

3. METHODS

3.1 POTENTIAL FAUNA INVENTORY - LITERATURE REVIEW

3.1.1 Database Searches

Searches of the following databases were undertaken to aid in the compilation of a list of conservation significant fauna potentially occurring within the subject site:

x DPaW’s NatureMap Database Search (combined data from DPaW, ALA, WAM, BA and consultants reports) (DPaW 2016); and

x Protected Matters Search Tool (DotE 2016).

It should be noted that lists produced during the abovementioned database searches contain observations/inferred distributions from a broader area than the subject site and therefore may include species that would only ever occur as vagrants due to a lack of suitable habitat or the presence of only marginal habitat within the subject site itself. The databases also often included or are based on very old records and in some cases the species in question have become locally or regionally extinct.

Information from these sources should therefore be taken as indicative only and local knowledge and information also needs to be taken into consideration when determining what actual species may be present within the specific area being investigated.

3.1.2 Previous Fauna Surveys in the Area

Fauna surveys, assessments and reviews have been undertaken in nearby areas in the past, though not all are publically available and could not be referenced. The most significant of those available have been used as the primary reference material for compiling a list of fauna species of conservation significance most likely to occur in the general area.

Those reports referred to included, but were not limited to:

x Harewood, G. (2015). Fauna Assessment, Wildcat Road Gravel Investigation Area, Shire of Manjimup. Unpublished report for MRWA.

As with the databases searches some reports refer to species that would not occur in the subject site due to a lack of suitable habitat (extent and/or quality) and this fact was taken into consideration when compiling the potential fauna species list. It should also be noted that the NatureMap database is likely to include some records from previous fauna surveys in the area including some of those listed above.

3.1.4 Fauna of Conservation Significance

The conservation significance of fauna species has been assessed using data from the following sources:

x Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Administered by the Australian Government Department of the Environment (DotE);

Page 5 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

x Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WC Act). Administered by the Western Australian Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) (Govt. of WA 2015);

x Red List produced by the Species Survival Commission (SSC) of the World Conservation Union (also known as the IUCN Red List - the acronym derived from its former name of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources). The Red List has no legislative power in Australia but is used as a framework for State and Commonwealth categories and criteria; and the

x DPaW Priority Fauna list. A non-statutory list maintained by the DPaW for management purposes (DPaW 2015).

The EPBC Act also requires the compilation of a list of migratory species that are recognised under international treaties including the:

x Japan Australia Migratory Bird Agreement 1981 (JAMBA);

x China Australia Migratory Bird Agreement 1998 (CAMBA);

x Republic of Korea-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement 2007 (ROKAMBA); and

x Bonn Convention 1979 (The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals).

(Note - Species listed under JAMBA are also protected under Schedule 5 of the WC Act.)

All migratory bird species listed in the annexes to these bilateral agreements are protected in Australia as matters of national environmental significance (NES) under the EPBC Act.

The conservation status of all vertebrate fauna species listed as occurring or possibly occurring in the vicinity of the subject site has been assessed using the most recent lists published in accordance with the above mentioned instruments and is indicated as such in the fauna listings of this report. A full listing of conservation codes is provided in Appendix A.

3.1.5 Taxonomy and Nomenclature

Taxonomy and nomenclature for vertebrate fauna species used in this report is generally taken from the DPaW’s WA Fauna Census Database which is assumed to follow Aplin and Smith (2001) for amphibians and reptiles and Johnstone (2001) for birds. Jackson and Groves (2015) has been used for mammals.

Common names are taken from the Western Australia Museum (WAM) recognised primary common name listings when specified, though where common names are not

Page 6 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

provided they have been acquired from other publications. Sources include Cogger (2014), Wilson and Swan (2013), Van Dyck & Strahan (2013), Christidis and Boles (2008), Bush et al. (2010), Bush et al. (2007), Tyler & Doughty (2009), and Glauret (1961). Not all common names are generally accepted.

3.1.6 Likelihood of Occurrence – Fauna of Conservation Significance

Fauna of conservation significance identified during the literature review as previously being recorded in the general area were assessed and ranked for their likelihood of occurrence within the subject site itself. The rankings and criteria used were:

x Would Not Occur: There is no suitable habitat for the species in the subject site and/or there is no documented record of the species in the general area since records have been kept and/or the species is generally accepted as being locally/regionally extinct (supported by a lack of recent records).

o Locally Extinct: Populations no longer occur within a small part of the species natural range, in this case within 10 or 20km of the subject site. Populations do however persist outside of this area.

o Regionally Extinct: Populations no longer occur in a large part of the species natural range, in this case within the southern forest regions. Populations do however persist outside of this area.

x Unlikely to Occur: The subject site is outside of the currently documented distribution for the species in question, or no suitable habitat (type, quality and extent) was identified as being present during the field assessment. Individuals of some species may occur occasionally as vagrants/transients especially if suitable habitat is located nearby but the subject site itself would not support a population or part population of the species.

x Possibly Occurs: The subject site is within the known distribution of the species in question and habitat of at least marginal quality was identified as being present during the field assessment, supported in some cases by recent records being documented in literature from within or near the subject site. In some cases, while a species may be classified as possibly being present at times, habitat may be marginal (e.g. poor quality, fragmented, limited in extent) and therefore the frequency of occurrence and/or population levels may be low.

x Known to Occur: The species in question was positively identified as being present (for sedentary species) or as using the subject site as habitat for some other purpose (for non-sedentary/mobile species) during the field survey. This information may have been obtained by direct observation of individuals or by way of secondary evidence (e.g. foraging debris, tracks and scats). In some cases, while a species may be classified as known to occur, habitat may be

Page 7 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

marginal (e.g. poor quality, fragmented, limited in extent) and therefore the frequency of occurrence and/or population levels may be low.

3.2 SITE SURVEYS

Daytime field survey work at the site was carried out by Greg Harewood (B.Sc. - Zoology) on the 5 and 6 August 2016.

3.2.1 Fauna Habitat Assessment

The vegetation communities, landforms and soils identified during the daytime reconnaissance surveys of the subject site have been used as the basis for the classification of areas into broad fauna habitat types.

As part of the literature review, available information on the habitat requirements of the species of conservation significance listed as possibly occurring in the area was researched. During the daytime reconnaissance survey the habitats within the subject site were assessed and specific elements identified, if present, to determine the likelihood of listed species of conservation significance occurring and its likely overall value to them on a local and regional scale.

3.2.2 Black Cockatoo Habitat Assessment

The following methods were employed during the black cockatoo habitat assessment to comply with the defined scope of works and are based on guidelines published by the DotE (SEWPaC 2012) which states that surveys for Carnaby’s, Baudin’s and forest red- tailed black cockatoo habitat should:

x be done by a suitably qualified person with experience in vegetation or cockatoo surveys, depending on the type of survey being undertaken;

x maximise the chance of detecting the species’ habitat and/or signs of use;

x determine the context of the site within the broader landscape—for example, the amount and quality of habitat nearby and in the local region (for example, within 10 km);

x account for uncertainty and error (false presence and absences); and

x include collation of existing data on known locations of breeding and feeding birds and night roost locations.

Page 8 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Habitat used by black cockatoos have been placed into three categories by the DotE (SEWPaC 2012) these being:

x Breeding Habitat;

x Foraging Habitat; and

x Night Roosting Habitat.

So as to comply with the requested scope of works and in line with the published guidelines the following was carried out.

3.2.2.1 Black Cockatoo Breeding Habitat

The black cockatoo breeding habitat assessment involved the identification of all suitable breeding trees species (native, endemic species only) within the subject site that had a DBH of equal to or over 50cm. The DBH of each tree was estimated using a pre-made 50 cm “caliper”.

Target tree species included marri and jarrah or any other Corymbia/Eucalyptus species of a suitable size that may have been present. Peppermints, banksia, sheoak and melaleuca tree species (for example) were not assessed as they typically do not develop hollows that are used by black cockatoos.

The location of each tree identified as being over the threshold DBH was recorded with a GPS and details on tree species, number and size of hollows (if any) noted. Trees observed to contain hollows (of any size/type) were marked with “H” using spray paint for easy future reference.

Based on this assessment trees present within the subject site have been place into one of four categories:

x Tree < 50cm DBH or an unsuitable species (not recorded);

x Tree >50cm DBH, no hollows seen;

x Tree >50cm DBH, one or more hollows seen, none of which were considered suitable for black cockatoos to use for nesting; or

x Tree >50cm DBH, one or more hollows seen, with at least one considered suitable for black cockatoos to use for nesting.

Page 9 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

For the purposes of this assessment a tree containing a potential cockatoo nest hollow was defined as:

Generally, any tree which is alive or dead that contains one or more visible hollows (cavities within the trunk or branches) suitable for occupation by a black cockatoo for the purpose of nesting/breeding. Hollows that had an entrance greater than about 10cm in diameter and would allow the entry of a black cockatoo into a suitably orientated and sized branch/trunk were recorded as a “potential black cockatoo nest hollow”.

Identified hollows were examined using binoculars for evidence of actual use by black cockatoos (e.g. chewing around hollow entrance, scarring and scratch marks on trunks and branches). Trees with possible nest hollows were also scratched and raked with a large stick/pole in attempt to flush any sitting birds from hollows and calls of chicks were also listened for. It should be noted that the survey may have been conducted outside of the main breeding season of one or more of the three species of black cockatoo.

3.2.2.2 Black Cockatoo Foraging Habitat

The location and nature of black cockatoo foraging evidence (e.g. chewed fruits around base of trees) observed during the reconnaissance survey was recorded. The nature and extent of potential foraging habitat present was also documented irrespective of the presence of any actual foraging evidence.

3.2.2.3 Black Cockatoo Roosting Habitat

Direct and indirect evidence of black cockatoos roosting within trees was with the subject site was noted if observed (e.g. branch clippings, droppings or moulted feathers).

3.2.3 Other Fauna Species of Conservation Significance

Evidence of the presence or likely presence of other fauna species of conservation significance (or suitable habitat) was searched for and recorded concurrent with the black cockatoo habitat assessment. The aim was to obtain sufficient information to make a definitive comment on the likely significance of the subject site to other fauna species of conservation significance.

Methods involved traversing a series of transects across the subject site while searching microhabitats such as logs, rocks, leaf litter and observations with binoculars. Secondary evidence of a species presence such as tracks, scats, skeletal remains, foraging evidence or calls were also noted if observed/heard.

3.2.4 Opportunistic Fauna Observations

Opportunistic observations of fauna species were made during all field survey work and recorded where positive species identifications were made.

4. SURVEY CONSTRAINTS

No seasonal sampling has been carried out as part of this fauna assessment. The conclusions presented are based upon field data and the environmental monitoring and/or testing carried out over a limited period of time and are therefore merely indicative of the environmental condition of the site at the time of the field assessments. It should also be recognised that site conditions can change with time.

Some fauna species are reported as potentially occurring based on there being suitable habitat (quality and extent) within the subject site or immediately adjacent. With respect to opportunistic observations, the possibility exists that certain species may not have been detected during field investigations due to:

x seasonal inactivity during the field survey;

x species present within micro habitats not surveyed;

x cryptic species able to avoid detection; and

x transient wide-ranging species not present during the survey period.

Lack of observational data on some species should therefore not necessarily be taken as an indication that a species is absent from the site or does not utilise it for some purpose at times.

The habitat requirements and ecology of many of the species known to occur in the wider area are often not well understood or documented. It can therefore be difficult to exclude species from the potential list based on an apparent lack of a specific habitat or microhabitat within the subject site. As a consequence of this limitation the potential fauna list produced is most likely an overestimation of those species that actually utilise the subject site for some purpose. Some species may be present in the general area but may only use the subject site itself on rare occasions or as vagrants/transients.

In recognition of survey limitations, a precautionary approach has been adopted for this assessment. Any fauna species that would possibly occur within the subject site (or immediately adjacent), as identified through ecological databases, publications, discussions with local experts/residents and the habitat knowledge of the Author, has been assumed to potentially occur in the subject site.

During the black cockatoo habitat survey trees with hollows were searched for. It should be noted that identifying hollows suitable for fauna species from ground level has limitations. Generally the full characteristics of any hollow seen are not fully evident (e.g. internal dimensions). It is also difficult to locate all hollows within all trees as some are not observable from ground level.

Page 11 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

The location of observations was recorded using a handheld GPS. The accuracy of the GPS cannot be guaranteed above a level of about three to five metres, though it should be noted that in some circumstance the accuracy can increase or decrease beyond this range.

5. RESULTS

5.1 POTENTIAL FAUNA INVENTORY – LITERATURE REVIEW

A list of fauna species considered most likely to occur in the subject site has been compiled from information obtained during the literature review and is presented in Appendix B. This listing was refined after information gathered during the site reconnaissance survey was assessed. The results of some previous fauna surveys carried out in the general area are summarised in this species listing as are the DPaW NatureMap database search results. The raw database search results from NatureMap (DPaW 2016) and the Protected Matters Search Tool (DotE 2016) are contained within Appendix C.

The list of potential fauna takes into consideration that the subject site is within the current documented range of the species, the species in question is not known to be locally extinct and that suitable habitat for each species, as identified during the habitat assessment, is present. Compiling an accurate list does however have limitations (see Section 4 above) and therefore as discussed, the listing is very likely to be an overestimation of the fauna species actually present within the subject site at any one time.

5.2 SITE SURVEYS

Total Area= ~1.4 ha

Existing Cleared Areas (including the existing road 4 alignment)

Total Area= ~6.8 ha

The vegetation within the subject site does not represent a significant “linkage” or “corridor” for wildlife movement in the area as it is mostly degraded, fragmented and provides no access from one native forest area to another. Any proposed clearing will not compromise any existing values the site may have in this regard.

Page 14 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

The best quality native remnant is located in the southern end of the subject site on the east side of the Highway, though this area is limited in extent (~1.0 ha) and appears to be regrowth from historical logging activities, with most trees being relatively small. This vegetation is continuous with a larger area of remnant of native vegetation that lies to the east of the subject site (Greenbushes State Forest). All of the identified natural fauna habitats within the subject site would be well represented in this state forest area. It is therefore unlikely that any vegetation within the subject would represent unique or better quality habitat compared to surrounding areas.

Based on available vegetation mapping it is estimated that there is approximately 17,250 ha of native vegetation within 10 km the survey area (see Figure 1). Remnant native vegetation present within the subject site (total ~3.1 ha) makes up ~0.018% of this total.

5.2.1.1 Black Cockatoo Habitat Tree Assessment

Trees considered potentially suitable for black cockatoos to use as nesting habitat (subject to a suitable hollow being present and other factors) which were found within the subject site are comprised of the following species:

x Marri – Corymbia calophylla;

x Jarrah - Eucalyptus marginata; and

x Dead unidentifiable species.

A summary of the potential black cockatoo breeding trees (using DotE criteria i.e. any suitable tree species with a DBH > 50cm (SEWPaC 2012)) observed within the subject site is provided in Table 2 below and their location shown in Figures 12 to 16.

The assessment identified a total of 164 trees with a DBH of >50cms within the subject site. The majority (158, ~96.3%) of the trees were not observed to contain hollows of

Page 15 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

any size. Four (4, ~2.4%) of the trees contained one or more possible hollows considered by the Author not to be suitable for black cockatoos to use for nesting purposes. Two trees (2, ~1.2%) were identified as potentially containing hollows that appeared possibly big enough to allow the entry of a black cockatoo into a suitably sized and orientated branch/trunk though no evidence of actual use by black cockatoos (e.g. significant chew marks around hollow entrance) was seen.

Additional details on each habitat tree observed can be found in Appendix D.

A review of available data revealed no documented breeding records from the vicinity of the subject site (i.e. within 10km). The subject site does however fall within the mapped breeding range of Carnaby’s black cockatoo as depicted in the most current recovery plan produced by DPaW (Figure 2 - DEC 2012).

The corresponding DPaW recovery plan for Baudin’s and the forest red-tailed black cockatoo (DEC 2007) does not specifically define any known breeding areas for either species. Johnstone and Kirkby (2011) also do not specifically mention breeding areas of either species within the area though both are noted as utilising marri trees (and other tree species) for breeding in the south west.

While no breeding data appears to exist for the general area this could simply be a consequence of a lack of survey work or a lack of publicly available data. Based on available vegetation mapping it is however estimated that there is approximately 17,250 ha of native vegetation within 10 km the survey area (see Figure 1). Given this fact, there is significant potential for breeding to take place in the wider area (assuming the presence of suitable trees).

The results therefore suggest that the removal of some or all of the identified “habitat trees” from within the subject site (none of which showed any evidence of use by black cockatoo for nesting) is unlikely to have significant direct or indirect impact on breeding black cockatoos and is also unlikely to significantly impact on the total “breeding habitat” resource available in the wider area.

5.2.1.2 Black Cockatoo Foraging Habitat Assessment

Following is a list of the main flora species recorded within the subject site during the fauna assessment that are known to be used as a direct food source (i.e. seeds or flowers) by one or more species of black cockatoo:

x Marri - Corymbia calophylla;

x Jarrah - Eucalyptus marginata;

x Bull Banksia – Banksia grandis (a few specimens only);

x Balga – Xanthorrhoea preissii; and

Page 16 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

x Pine – Pinus sp.

It should be noted that some of the above-mentioned species (e.g. balga) while foraged upon on occasions are only likely to make up a small proportion of any one birds diet relative to more favoured plant species such as marri.

Based on available vegetation mapping it is estimated that there is approximately 17,250 ha of native vegetation within 10 km the survey area (~49% of total area - see Figure 1), much of which is very likely to represent potential black cockatoo foraging habitat of some type. There are also at least 2,900 ha of pine plantations within 10km of the site. Pines are likely to be a significant foraging resource for Carnaby’s black cockatoos (and possibly Baudin’s black cockatoo) in this area.

It is difficult to calculate the actual extent of natural foraging habitat within the subject site given it is largely comprised of patchy fragmented vegetation, but it is unlikely to total more than about 4.5 ha (including pines). This area represents less than 0.022% of the potential foraging habitat within 10km of the subject site. Overall the results therefore suggest that the potential removal of some or all of this vegetation from the subject site is unlikely to have a significant impact on the availability of foraging resources for black cockatoos in the general area.

5.2.1.3 Black Cockatoo Roosting Habitat Assessment

No evidence of black cockatoo roosting within trees located within the subject site was observed during the field reconnaissance survey.

A review of available data did not reveal any documented roosts sites within 10km of the survey area, though as with breeding habitat this could simply be a consequence of a lack of survey work or a lack of publicly available data. Given the relatively large extent of native remnant vegetation still present with 10km of the survey area (~17,250 ha) there is likely to be numerous roosting opportunities present in the general vicinity.

Page 17 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

The results suggest that the removal of the relatively small number of trees from the survey area will not have any direct impact on roosting black cockatoos and also will not significantly impact on roosting opportunities available in the area.

5.2.2 Other Fauna Species of Conservation Significance

Beside the foraging debris left by black cockatoos, no evidence of any other fauna species of conservation significance utilising the subject site was found during the site reconnaissance survey.

The habitat assessment and other observations made during the field reconnaissance survey does however suggest that some fauna species of conservation significance are likely to persist in the general area. Subject to suitable habitat being present (i.e. quality and extent) it is considered possible that some are also likely to reside or at least frequent the subject site at times.

The extent of habitats within the subject site is however extremely small and therefore any fauna species actually present are only likely to be represented by a small number of individuals at any one time. A summary of those species considered likely to be present is provided in Table 4, within Section 7. Additional information on this assessment of likelihood of occurrence being provided in Appendix E.

5.2.3 Opportunistic Fauna Observations

Most of the fauna species recorded were common, widespread bird species.

5.3 FAUNA INVENTORY – SUMMARY

Table 3 summarises the number of fauna species potentially occurring within or utilising at times the subject site, based on results from the literature review and observations made during the field assessment. A complete list of fauna possibly inhabiting or frequenting the subject site is located in Appendix B.

As previously indicated, not all species listed as potentially occurring within the subject site in existing databases and publications (i.e. EPBC Act Threatened Fauna and Migratory species lists, DPaW’s NatureMap database, various reports and publications) are shown in the expected listing in Appendix B. Some species have been excluded from this list based largely on the lack of suitable habitat at the subject site and in the general area or known local extinction even if suitable habitat is present.

Despite the omission of some species it should be noted that the list provided is still very likely an over estimation of the fauna species utilising the site (either on a regular or infrequent basis) as a result of the precautionary approach adopted for the assessment. At any one time only a subset of the listed potential species are likely to be present within the bounds of the subject site.

A number of other species of conservation significance, while possibly present in the general area, are not listed as potential species due to known localised extinction (and no subsequent recruitment from adjoining areas) and/or lack of suitable habitat.

Page 19 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

6. LIKELIHOOD OF OCCURRENCE AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS

Fauna of conservation significance identified during the literature review as previously being recorded in the general area are listed in Table 4. Each has been assessed and ranked for their likelihood of occurrence within the subject site itself based on information obtained during the fauna assessment.

In general, the most significant potential impacts to fauna of any development include:

x Loss of vegetation/fauna habitat that may be used for foraging, breeding, roosting, or dispersal (includes loss of hollow bearing trees);

x Fragmentation of vegetation/fauna habitat which may restrict the movement of some fauna species;

x Modifications to surface hydrology, siltation of creek lines;

x Changes to fire regimes;

x Pollution (e.g. oil spills);

x Noise/Light/Dust;

x Spread of plant pathogens (e.g. dieback) and weeds;

x Potential increase in the number of predatory introduced species (e.g. cats);

x Death or injury of fauna during clearing and construction; and

x An increase in fauna road kills subsequent to development.

In this instance the potential impacts on fauna will relate primarily to the loss of habitat due to clearing. The exact extent of clearing required for the proposed road works is yet to be defined. Based on similar road upgrades previously undertaken in the region, the extent of clearing is however unlikely to be more than a few hectares and will be comprised of small, narrow strips of roadside vegetation spread along various sections of the existing road alignment. Residual impacts are therefore unlikely to be significant.

Based on the anticipated small extent of clearing and the habitats present, likely impacts on species of conservation significance previously recorded in the general area has been assessed, a summary of which is provided in Table 4 below. Additional information on specific fauna species is provided in Appendix E.

In summary, impacts on potential fauna species of conservation significance are anticipated to be negligible primarily due to the relatively small area of anticipated clearing required at any one point and the large expanses of adjoining similar habitat (see Figure 1). While some small, localised residual loss of fauna habitat may occur for

Page 22 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

some species, regional impacts on the status or any one species are anticipated to be negligible/non-existent.

7. LEGISLATIVE OBLIGATIONS

7.1 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT 1986

The purpose of the Environmental Protection Act (1986) is “...to provide for an Environmental Protection Authority, for the prevention, control and abatement of pollution and environmental harm, for the conservation, preservation, protection enhancement and management of the environment and for matters incidental to or connected with the foregoing”.

The powers of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 are administered by the Department of Environment Regulation (DER), which in relevant cases advises to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).

Legislation proclaimed on 8 July 2004 protects all native vegetation in Western Australia. Under the law, clearing native vegetation is prohibited, unless a clearing permit is granted by the DER, or the clearing is for an exempt purpose. These exemptions ensure that low impact day to day activities involving clearing can be undertaken. People that wish to clear are required to submit an application if an exemption does not apply.

Clearing applications are assessed against ten defined clearing principles related to native vegetation in the EP Act. These principles provide a guide for when native vegetation should not be cleared. The DER must consider these principles in making a decision on whether or not to issue a clearing permit. The DER has set out the minimum requirements and standards for addressing each of the ten principles in detail in its assessment methodology.

Any proposed clearing should not be in variance to any of the 10 clearing principles, these being:

Native vegetation should not be cleared if

(a) it comprises a high level of biological diversity;

(b) it comprises the whole or a part of, or is necessary for the maintenance of, a significant habitat for fauna indigenous to Western Australia;

(d) it comprises the whole or a part of, or is necessary for the maintenance of a threatened ecological community;

(e) it is significant as a remnant of native vegetation in an area that has been extensively cleared;

Page 24 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

(f) it is growing in, or in association with, an environment associated with a watercourse or wetland;

(g) the clearing of the vegetation is likely to cause appreciable land degradation;

(h) the clearing of the vegetation is likely to have an impact on the environmental values of any adjacent or nearby conservation area;

(i) the clearing of the vegetation is likely to cause deterioration in the quality of surface or underground water; or

(j) clearing the vegetation is likely to cause, or exacerbate, the incidence of flooding.

One purpose of the assessment reported on here is to provide information relevant to principle (a) & (b). Based on the assessment results and despite the fact that the area is or is possibly being utilised by some species of conservation significance it is the Author’s opinion that the site doesn’t have what would be considered a high level of biological diversity or constitute the whole or a part of, or is necessary for the maintenance of, a significant habitat for fauna indigenous to Western Australia.

This opinion is based on the fact that fauna habitats present within the subject site are common and widespread in the general area, the extent of clearing is likely to be very small and the faunal assemblage identified as potentially present is unlikely to be different to that found in similar habitats located elsewhere in the region. It can therefore be concluded that the subject site does not contain habitats of high ecological significance from a faunal perspective or contain faunal assemblages that are ecologically significant. The vegetation types proposed to be cleared are well represented within the local (10 km radius) area and therefore it is unlikely the any areas to be cleared will be considered to be locally or regionally significant remnants.

The DER will however consider all available information relating to all 10 clearing principles, not just those relating to fauna. The possible use of the subject site by several species of conservation significance will influence the DER decision making process, though it is difficult to predict specific outcomes as some discretion is exercised by the DER when assessing the appropriateness of any clearing activities. Any proposed rehabilitation, offsets, mitigation measures and management plans are also taken into consideration.

7.2 ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION & BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ACT 1999

A number of fauna species known to or potentially present within the subject site are listed under the federal EPBC Act. The objective of the EPBC Act is to provide for the protection of the environment, especially those aspects that are of national significance,

Page 25 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

promote ecologically sustainable development, the conservation of biodiversity and a cooperative approach to the protection and management of the environment.

If an action (i.e. clearing for road works) is deemed to have a potential “significant impact” on any listed species (or their habitat), a referral to the DotE is required to ensure compliance with the EPBC Act. Actions that are assessed as likely to have a “significant impact” are deemed “controlled actions” and are typically subject to conditions imposed to minimise or offset impacts.

The potential significance of each action is judged on a case-by-case basis by the DotE and while the guidelines provide information to assist in deciding whether to refer a proposed “action”, the possible impacts will depend on the particular circumstances of the action including (but not limited to) the overall suitability of the habitat, its connectivity, and the amount of habitat remaining in the region.

Other listed species, such as the chuditch (for example) are also unlikely to be significantly impacted upon by clearing with the subject site at any scale.

Page 26 MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

8. CONCLUSION

The fauna assessment within the subject site was undertaken for the purposes of delineating and characterising the fauna habitats and faunal assemblages present and to identify potential impacts of the proposed works. A targeted black cockatoo assessment was also carried out.

Overall, many of the conservation significant species known from the region are unlikely to be impacted on by the proposal due to the fact that the subject site does not contain their preferred habitat and therefore they are unlikely to be present. In cases where some habitat is present likely impacts are anticipated to be low primarily due to the relatively small area of clearing anticipated and the large expanses of similar, adjoining habitat (see Figure 1). While some small, localised residual loss of fauna habitat may occur for some species, regional impacts on the status or any one species have been assessed as being negligible/non-existent.

The assessment does however indicate that any considerations required during ongoing development planning are most likely to be related to the presence of habitat used or potentially used by some threatened fauna species, in particular the EPBC Act listed black cockatoo species.

While it is the Author’s opinion that if the proposed action were to be referred to the DotE it would not be classified as a “controlled action” and would therefore not need approval under the EPBC Act to proceed it is still recommended that consideration should be given to referring the project to the DotE to ensure compliance. This recommendation is primarily based on the presence of black cockatoo habitat within the subject site.

CONSERVATION CATEGORIES

EPBC Act (1999) Threatened Fauna Categories

Category Code Description There is no reasonable doubt that the last Extinct E member of the species has died. A species (a) is known only to survive in cultivation, in captivity or as a naturalised population well outside its past range; or *Extinct in the wild EW (b) has not been recorded in its known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate seasons, anywhere in its past range, despite exhaustive surveys over a time frame appropriate to its life cycle and form. A species is facing an extremely high risk of *Critically endangered CE extinction in the wild in the immediate future. A species: (a) is not critically endangered; and *Endangered EN (b) is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future.

A species (a) is not critically endangered or endangered;

*Vulnerable VU and (b) is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future. A species is the focus of a specific conservation program the cessation of which would result in Conservation dependent CD the species becoming vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered (a) all migratory species that are: (i) native species; and (ii) from time to time included in the appendices to the Bonn Convention; and (b) all migratory species from time to time *Migratory Migratory included in annexes established under JAMBA, CAMBA and ROKAMBA; and (c) all native species from time to time identified

in a list established under, or an instrument made under, an international agreement approved by the Minister. Species in the list established under s248 of the Marine Ma EPBC Act

Note: Only species in those categories marked with an asterix are matters of national environmental significance under the EPBC Act.

Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act (1950) Threatened Fauna Categories

Category Code Description Threatened Fauna (Fauna that is rare or is likely to become extinct). Taxa that have been adequately searched for and are deemed to be in the wild either rare, in danger of extinction, or otherwise in need of special protection, and have been gazetted as such.

Threatened fauna (Schedule 1) are further ranked by the DPaW according to their level of threat using IUCN Red List criteria: Schedule 1 S1

CR: Critically Endangered - considered to be facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.

EN: Endangered - considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.

VU: Vulnerable - considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild. Fauna that is presumed to be extinct. Taxa which have been adequately searched for and there is no Schedule 2 S2 reasonable doubt that the last individual has died, and have been gazetted as such. Migratory birds protected under an international agreement. Birds that are subject to an agreement between the government of Australia and the Schedule 3 S3 governments of Japan (JAMBA), China (CAMBA) and The Republic of Korea (ROKAMBA), relating to the protection of migratory birds. Fauna declared to be in need of special protection, otherwise than for the reasons mentioned for Schedules Schedule 4 S4 1, 2 or 3, are published under Schedule 4 of the Wildlife Conservation (Specially Protected Fauna) Notice.

Western Australian DPaW Priority Fauna Categories

Category Code Description Species that are known from one or a few locations (generally five or less) which are potentially at risk. All occurrences are either: very small; or on lands not managed for conservation, e.g. agricultural or pastoral lands, urban areas, road and rail reserves, gravel reserves Priority 1 and active mineral leases; or otherwise under threat of habitat (Poorly Known P1 destruction or degradation. Species may be included if they are Species) comparatively well known from one or more locations but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements and appear to be under immediate threat from known threatening processes. Such species are in urgent need of further survey. Species that are known from one or a few locations (generally five or less), some of which are on lands managed primarily for nature conservation, e.g. national parks, conservation parks, nature reserves Priority 2 and other lands with secure tenure being managed for conservation. (Poorly Known P2 Species may be included if they are comparatively well known from Species) one or more locations but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements and appear to be under threat from known threatening processes. Such species are in urgent need of further survey. Species that are known from several locations, and the species does not appear to be under imminent threat, or from few but widespread locations with either large population size or significant remaining Priority 3 areas of apparently suitable habitat, much of it not under imminent (Poorly Known P3 threat. Species may be included if they are comparatively well known Species) from several locations but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements and known threatening processes exist that could affect them. Such species are in need of further survey. (a) Rare. Species that are considered to have been adequately surveyed, or for which sufficient knowledge is available, and that are considered not currently threatened or in need of special protection, but could be if present circumstances change. These Priority 4 species are usually represented on conservation lands. (Rare, Near

Threatened and P4 (b) Near Threatened. Species that are considered to have been other species in adequately surveyed and that do not qualify for Conservation need of Dependent, but that are close to qualifying for Vulnerable. monitoring )

(c) Species that have been removed from the list of threatened species during the past five years for reasons other than taxonomy. Priority Species that are not threatened but are subject to a specific Conservation P5 conservation program, the cessation of which would result in the Dependent species becoming threatened within five years. species5 *Species includes all taxa (plural of taxon - a classificatory group of any taxonomic rank, e.g. a family, genus, species or any infraspecific category i.e. subspecies, variety or forma). IUCN Red List Threatened Species Categories

Category Code Description Taxa for which there is no reasonable Extinct EX doubt that the last individual has died. Taxa which is known only to survive in cultivation, in captivity or and as a naturalised population well outside its Extinct in the EW past range and it has not been recorded Wild in known or expected habitat despite exhaustive survey over a time frame appropriate to its life cycle and form. Critically Taxa facing an extremely high risk of CR Endangered extinction in the wild. Taxa facing a very high risk of extinction Endangered EN in the wild. Taxa facing a high risk of extinction in the Vulnerable VU wild.

1 For NatureMap's purposes, species flagged as endemic are those whose records are wholely contained within the search area. Note that only those records complying with the search criterion are included in the calculation. For example, if you limit records to those from a specific datasource, only records from that datasource are used to determine if a species is restricted to the query area.

This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of International and National Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions.

Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.

For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plans and detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicated under 'type of presence'. For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collated from government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimatic distribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps are based solely on expert knowledge.

Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped: - migratory and - marine The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database: - threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants - some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed - some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area - migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species: - non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites - seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

SIGNIFICANT SPECIES PROFILES

MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Black-stripe Minnow Galaxiella nigrostriata

Status and Distribution: This species is classified as Priority 3 by DPaW. Allen et al. (2003) states that this species is common but restricted to wetlands within 100km of the coast in south Western Australia between Albany and Augusta with isolated populations known at Kemerton and Ellenbrook.

Habitat: Permanent or ephemeral pools, roadside ditches and small creeks in sandy, thickly vegetated wetland areas. Water is usually darkly tannin stained and acidic (pH 4.6 – 6.5) (Allen et al. 2003). Where present, the black-stripe Jminnow is widespread when water levels are high, but relies on a few summer refuge sites, where it survives in deep, cool pools and, when these dry out, retreats to water contained in the burrows of freshwater crayfish.

Likely presence in subject site: No suitable habitat. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Darling Range Heath Ctenotus Ctenotus delli

Status and Distribution: Listed as Priority 4 by DPaW. Main distribution is in the Darling Range from the Darlington/Mundaring area to near Collie (Storr et al 1999).

Habitat: Humid zone, mainly laterite and clays (Storr et al. 1999) supporting jarrah/marri woodland with a shrub dominated understorey, sheltering in dense vegetation, inside grass trees and beneath rocks, sometimes in burrows (Nevill 2005). Occasionally found on granite outcrops (Bush 2002).

Likely presence in subject site: Subject site is at the extreme southern limit of this species main documented range. Closest NatureMap records are of a single specimen collected in 1982. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Malleefowl Leipoa ocellata

Status and Distribution: This species is listed as Schedule 3 under the WC Act and as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act. Originally common, but now generally rare to uncommon and patchily distributed.

Current distribution mainly southern arid and semi-arid zones, north to Shark Bay, Jingemarra, Colga Downs and Yeelirrie, east to Earnest Giles Range, Yeo Lake, lower Ponton Creek and to Eucla and west and south to Cockleshell Gully, the Wongan Hills, Stirling Range, Beaufort Inlet, Hatters Hill, Mt Ragged and Point Malcolm (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Habitat: Mainly scrubs and thickets of mallee Eucalyptus spp., boree Melaleuca lanceolata and bowgada Acacia linophylla, also dense litter forming shrublands. MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Likely presence in subject site: This species is regionally extinct and would never, under normal circumstances occur anywhere in this area. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Eastern Great Egret Ardea alba/Ardea modesta

Status and Distribution: This species is listed as Schedule 5 under the WC Act and as Migratory under the EPBC Act and under international agreements to which Australia is a signatory. The great egret is common and very widespread in any suitable permanent or temporary habitat (Morcombe 2004).

Habitat: Wetlands, flooded pasture, dams, estuarine mudflats, mangroves and reefs (Morcombe 2004).

Likely presence in subject site: No suitable habitat. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Cattle Egret Ardea ibis

Status and Distribution: This species is listed as Schedule 3 under the WC Act and as Migratory under the EPBC Act and under international agreements to which Australia is a signatory. The cattle egret is common in the north sections of its range but is an irregular visitor to the better watered parts of the state (Johnstone and Storr 1998). The population is expanding (Morcombe 2004).

White-bellied Sea Eagle Haliaeetus leucogaster

Status and Distribution: This species is listed as Migratory under the EPBC Act and under international agreements to which Australia is a signatory. White-bellied sea eagles are moderately common to common on Kimberley and Pilbara islands, coasts and estuaries, on Bernier, Dorre and Dirk Hartog Is., in Houtman Abrolhos and in the Archipelago of the Recherche; rare to uncommon elsewhere (Johnstone and Storr 1998). Also found in New Guinea, Indonesia, China, southeast Asia and India. Scarce near major coastal cities (Morcombe 2003).

Habitat: They nest and forage usually near the coast over islands, reefs, headlands, beaches, bays, estuaries, mangroves, but will also live near seasonally flooded inland swamps, lagoons and floodplains, often far inland on large pools of major rivers. Established pairs usually sedentary, immatures dispersive (Morcombe 2003). White- bellied Sea-Eagles build a large stick nest, which is used for many seasons in succession.

Likely presence in subject site: No suitable habitat. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No significant impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Osprey Pandion haliaetus

Status and Distribution: This species is listed as Schedule 3 under the WC Act and as Marine/Migratory under the EPBC Act and under international agreements to which Australia is a signatory. Moderately common to very common in sheltered seas around the north and west coast islands south to 31°S; uncommon to common on mainland coasts, estuaries and large rivers north of tropic, rare to uncommon elsewhere (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Habitat: Coasts, estuaries, bays, inlets, islands, and surrounding waters, coral atolls, reefs, lagoons, rock cliffs and stacks. Ascends larger rivers (Pizzey & Knight 2012). Construct nests on prominent headland, large trees communication towers (Simpson and Day 2010).

Likely presence in subject site: No suitable habitat. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus

Status and Distribution: This species is listed as Schedule 7 under the WC Act. Individuals of this species are uncommon/rare but wide ranging across Australia. MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Moderately common at higher levels of the Stirling Range, uncommon in hilly, north west Kimberley, Hamersley and Darling Ranges; rare or scarce elsewhere (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Habitat: Diverse from rainforest to arid shrublands, from coastal heath to alpine (Morcombe 2004). Mainly about cliffs along coasts, rivers and ranges and about wooded watercourses and lakes (Johnstone and Storr 1998). The species utilises the ledges, cliff faces and large hollows/broken spouts of trees for nesting. It will also occasionally use the abandoned nests of other birds of prey.

Likely presence in subject site: Individuals of this species potentially utilise some sections of the subject site as part of a much larger home range but under these circumstance they would only occur rarely. Some potential for nesting in large open tree spouts, though no evidence of this observed during the field survey.

Potential impact of development: Potential for localised modification/loss of very small areas of possible habitat, but no significant impact considered likely.

Australasian Bittern Botaurus poiciloptilus

Status and Distribution: Classified as Schedule 1 under the WC Act and as Endangered under the EPBC Act (1999). The species is uncommon to rare (Morcombe 2004), but locally common in wetter parts of south west. Occurs north to Moora and east to Mt Arid (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Habitat: Dense vegetation surrounding/within freshwater pools, swamps and lagoons, well screened with trees. Shelters in dense beds of Typha, Baumea and tall rushes in freshwater swamps around lakes and along rivers (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Likely presence in subject site: No suitable habitat. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus banksii naso

Status and Distribution: Listed as Scheduled 3 under the WC Act and as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act. Found in the humid and subhumid south west, mainly hilly interior, north to Gingin and east to Mt Helena, Christmas Tree Well, North Bannister, Mt Saddleback, Rock Gully and the upper King River (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Habitat: Eucalypt forests, feeds on marri, jarrah, blackbutt, karri, sheoak and snottygobble. The forest red-tailed black cockatoo nests in the large hollows of marri, jarrah and karri (Johnstone and Kirkby 1999). In marri, the nest hollows of the forest red-tailed black cockatoo range from 8-14m above ground, the entrance is 12 – 41cm in diameter and the depth is one to five metres (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Breeding commences in winter/spring. There are few records of breeding in the forest red-tailed black cockatoo (Johnstone and Storr 1998), but eggs are laid in October and November (Johnstone 1997; Johnstone and Storr 1998). Recent data however indicates that breeding in all months of the year occurs with peaks in spring and autumn–winter (Ron Johnstone pers comms). Incubation period 29 – 31 days. Young fledge at 8 to 9 weeks (Simpson and Day 2010).

Likely presence in subject site: Foraging evidence attributed to this species was observed during the field survey (chewed marri fruits). Some vegetation present within the subject site represents foraging habitat for this species (e.g. marri trees, jarrah trees) and using DotE criteria the area also contains potential breeding habitat (i.e. any suitable tree species with a DBH >50cm) though no actual breeding evidence was found. May also roost on site though no evidence of this was seen. MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Potential impact of development: Potential for localised loss of small areas of possible habitat, but no significant impact considered likely.

Baudin’s Black-Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus baudinii

Status and Distribution: Listed as Scheduled 2 under the WC Act and as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act. Confined to the south-west of Western Australia, north to Gidgegannup, east to Mt Helena, Wandering, Quindanning, Kojonup, Frankland and King River and west to the eastern strip of the Swan Coastal Plain including West Midland, Byford, Nth Dandalup, Yarloop, Wokalup and Bunbury (Johnstone and Storr 1998). On the southern Swan Coastal Plain this cockatoo is in some areas resident but mainly a migrant moving from the deep south-west to the central and northern Darling Range. Between March and September most flocks move north and are concentrated in the northern parts of the Darling Range. During this period birds forage well out onto the southern Swan Coastal Plain to areas such as Harvey, Myalup, Bunbury, Capel, Dunsborough and Meelup. While generally more common in the Darling Range this species can also be common on parts of the southern Swan Coastal Plain especially in mid-August – September when flocks begin to return to their breeding quarters (Johnstone 2008).

Habitat: Mainly eucalypt forests where it feeds primarily on the marri seeds, (Morcombe 2004), Banksia, Hakea and Erodium sp. Also strips bark from trees in search of beetle larvae (Johnstone and Storr 1998). This species of cockatoo nests in large tree hollows, 30–40 cm in diameter and more than 30 cm deep (Saunders 1974).

Baudin's black-cockatoo breeds in late winter and spring, from August to November or December (Gould 1972; Johnstone 1997; Saunders 1974; Saunders et al. 1985). Eggs laid in October (Johnstone and Storr 1998). Based on observations at currently known nest sites breeding mainly occurs within the October-December period (Ron Johnstone pers comms). Incubation is 28 – 30 days. Young fledge at 8 to 9 weeks (Simpson and Day 2010).

Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris

Status and Distribution: Carnaby’s black cockatoo is listed as Scheduled 2 under the WC Act and as Endangered under the EPBC Act. Confined to the south-west of Western Australia, north to the lower Murchison River and east to Nabawa, Wilroy, Waddi Forest, Nugadong, Manmanning, Durokoppin, Noongar (Moorine Rock), Lake Cronin, Ravensthorpe Range, head of Oldfield River, 20 km ESE of Condingup and Cape Arid; also casual on Rottnest Island (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Habitat: Forests, woodlands, heathlands, farms; feeds on Banksia, Hakea and Marri. Carnaby’s Cockatoo has specific nesting site requirements. Nests are mostly in smoothed-barked eucalypts with the nest hollows ranging from 2.5 to 12m above the ground, an entrance from 23-30cm diameter and a depth of 0.1-2.5m (Johnstone and Storr, 1998).

Breeding occurs in winter/spring mainly in eastern forest and wheatbelt where they can find mature hollow bearing trees to nest in (Morcombe 2004). Judging from records in the Storr-Johnstone Bird Data Bank, this species is currently expanding its breeding range westward and south into the Jarrah – Marri forest of the Darling Scarp and into the Tuart forests of the Swan Coastal Plain including the region between Mandurah and Bunbury. Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo has been known to breed close to the town of Mandurah, as well as at Dawesville, Lake Clifton and Baldivis (pers. comm., Ron Johnstone, WA Museum) and there are small resident populations on the southern Swan Coastal Plain near Mandurah, Lake Clifton and near Bunbury. At each of these sites the birds forage in remnant vegetation and adjacent pine plantations (Johnstone 2008).

Carnaby's Black-Cockatoo lays eggs from July or August to October or November, with most clutches being laid in August and September (Saunders 1986). Birds in inland regions may begin laying up to three weeks earlier than those in coastal areas (Saunders 1977). The female incubates the eggs over a period of 28-29 days. The young depart the nest 10–12 weeks after hatching (Saunders 1977; Smith & Saunders 1986).

Barking Owl Ninox connivens connivens

Status and Distribution: Listed as Priority 2 by DPaW. Found north to Perth (formerly) and east to Northam, Katanning and nearly to Bremer Bay. Declining in south west (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Habitat: Dense vegetation, especially forest and thickets of waterside vegetation such as melaleucas (Johnstone and Storr 1998). Roosts in tree hollows.

Likely presence in subject site: This species preferred habitat is absent from the subject site. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Masked Owl Tyto novaehollandae novaehollandae

Status and Distribution: Listed as Priority 3 by DPaW. Found north to Yanchep and east to Yealering, Gnowangerup and Albany, casual further north. Locally common in south west but generally uncommon (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Habitat: Roosts and nests in heavy forest, hunts over open woodlands and farmlands (Morcombe 2004). Probably breeding in forested deep south west with some autumn– winter wanderings northwards (Johnstone and Storr 1998).

Likely presence in subject site: Status in the general area is difficult to determine. May utilise forest and woodland areas within and near the subject site for roosting and therefore may forage in more open areas. Probably only present rarely.

Potential impact of development: Potential for localised loss/modification of very small areas of possible habitat, but no significant impact considered likely.

Fork-tailed Swift Apus pacificus

Status and Distribution: The fork-tailed swift is listed as Schedule 5 under the WC Act and as migratory under the EPBC Act as migratory under the EPBC Act 1999 and under international agreements to which Australia is a signatory. It is a summer migrant (Oct-Apr) to Australia (Morcombe 2004).

Habitat: Low to very high airspace over varied habitat from rainforest to semi desert (Morcombe 2004). MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Likely presence in subject site: Very uncommon in south west and rarely utilises terrestrial habitats (i.e. almost entirely aerial). May occur very occasionally but not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat is considered likely.

Rainbow Bee-eater Merops ornatus

Status and Distribution: This species is listed as Schedule 5 under the WC Act and as migratory under the EPBC Act and under international agreements to which Australia is a signatory. The Rainbow Bee-eater is a common summer migrant to southern Australia but in the north they are resident (Morcombe 2004).

Habitat: Open Country, of woodlands, open forest, semi arid scrub, grasslands, clearings in heavier forest, farmlands (Morcombe 2004). Breeds underground in areas of suitable soft soil firm enough to support tunnel building.

Likely presence in subject site: Most vegetation appears unsuitable for this species to utilise given its relatively high density. May occasionally occur in more open, disturbed areas. Ground conditions unsuitable for breeding

Potential impact of development: Potential for localised loss/modification of very small areas of possible habitat, but no significant impact considered likely.

Grey Wagtail Motacilla cinerea

Status and Distribution: The grey wagtail is listed as Schedule 5 under the WC Act and as Migratory under the EPBC Act including international agreements to which Australia is a signatory. A rarely recorded, accidental vagrant that has on a few occasions been recorded on widely separated parts of the Australian coastline (Pizzey & Knight 2012).

Habitat: In Australia, near running water in disused quarries, sandy, rocky streams in escarpments and rainforest, sewerage ponds, ploughed fields and airfields (Pizzey & Knight 2012).

Likely presence in subject site: This species preferred habitat is absent from the subject site. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Chuditch Dasyurus geoffroii

Status and Distribution: Listed as Scheduled 3 under the WC Act and as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act. Formerly occurred over nearly 70 per cent of Australia. The chuditch now has a patchy distribution throughout the Jarrah forest and mixed karri/marri/jarrah forest of southwest Western Australia. Also occurs in very low numbers in the Midwest, Wheatbelt and South Coast Regions with records from Moora to the north, Yellowdine to the east and south to Hopetoun (DEC 2012). MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Habitat: Chuditch use a range of habitats including forest, mallee shrublands, woodland and desert. The densest populations have been found in riparian jarrah forest. Chuditch require adequate numbers of suitable den and refuge sites (horizontal hollow logs or earth burrows) and sufficient prey biomass (large invertebrates, reptiles and small mammals) to survive. They are capable of travelling long distances and have large home ranges, and even at their most abundant, chuditch are generally present in low numbers. For this reason, they require habitats that are of a suitable size and not excessively fragmented (DPaW 2012). The estimated home range of a male chuditch is over 15 km2 whilst that for females is 3-4 km2 (Sorena and Soderquist 1995).

Likely presence in subject site: Current status in the area is difficult to determine. NatureMap (DpaW 2016) shows a number of scattered records in the general area. Given the species preference for a large home range, the subject sites small size and the degraded state of most of the habitat present only occasional transient individuals are considered likely to occur.

Potential impact of development: Loss of small areas of mostly degraded/marginal habitat and therefore impacts are unlikely to alter the species overall status in the wider area given the huge extent of similar and better quality habitat nearby.

Numbat Myrmecobius fasciatus

Status and Distribution: Listed as Scheduled 3 under the WC Act (1950) and as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act (1999). Once occurred across much of arid and semi arid southern Australia, now restricted to a few remnant forests of Wandoo, Powderbark Wandoo or jarrah in South west WA (Menkhorst & Knight 2001). Rare, scattered. Found only at Dryandra, Perup and six other translocation sites (Van Dyck & Strahan 2008).

Habitat: Generally dominated by eucalypts that provide hollow logs and branches for shelter and termites for food (Van Dyck & Strahan 2008).

Likely presence in subject site: The current status in the area is uncertain. No evidence of this species was observed during the field survey and NatureMap (DPaW 2016) shows only very sparse records for the general area, the closest being from 2006. Most of the vegetation present within the subject site does not represent habitat suitable for this species to utilise. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Southern Brush-tailed Phascogale Phascogale tapoatafa ssp.

Status and Distribution: Listed as Scheduled 3 under the WC Act. Present distribution is believed to have been reduced to approximately 50 per cent of its former range. Now known from Perth and south to Albany, west of Albany Highway. Occurs at low densities in the northern jarrah forest. Highest densities occur in the Perup/Kingston area, Collie River valley, and near Margaret River and Busselton (DPaW information pamphlet). Records are less common from wetter forests. MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Habitat: This subspecies has been observed in dry sclerophyll forests and open woodlands that contain hollow-bearing trees but a sparse ground cover. A nocturnal carnivore relying on tree hollows as nest sites. The home range for a female Brush- tailed Phascogale is estimated at between 20 and 70 ha, whilst that for males is given as twice that of females. In addition, they tend to utilise a large number (approximately 20) of different nest sites throughout their range (Soderquist 1995).

Likely presence in subject site: Current status in the area is difficult to determine. NatureMap (DpaW 2016) shows a small number of scattered records in the general area. Given the species preference for a large home range, the subject sites small size and the degraded state of most of the habitat present the area is only likely to support only one or two indivduals at most.

Southern Brown Bandicoot (Quenda) Isoodon obesulus fusciventer

Status and Distribution: Listed as Priority 4 by DPaW. Widely distributed in the south west from near Cervantes north of Perth to east of Esperance, patchy distribution through the jarrah and karri forest and on the Swan Coastal Plain, and inland as far as Hyden. Has been translocated to Julimar State Forest, Hills Forest Mundaring, Tutanning Nature Reserve, Boyagin Nature Reserve, Dongolocking Nature Reserve, Leschenault Conservation Park, and Karakamia and Paruna Sanctuaries and Nambung National Park (DPaW information pamphlet).

Habitat: Dense scrubby, often swampy, vegetation with dense cover up to one metre high, often feeds in adjacent forest and woodland that is burnt on a regular basis and in areas of pasture and cropland lying close to dense cover. Populations inhabiting jarrah and wandoo forests are usually associated with watercourses. Quendas can thrive in more open habitat subject to exotic predator control (DPaW information pamphlet).

Likely presence in subject site: Current status in the area is difficult to determine. NatureMap (DpaW 2016) shows a small number of scattered records in the general area. Most of the subject site does not represent suitable habitat for this species given the absence of dense ground cover. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Bilby Macrotis lagotis

Status and Distribution: The Bilby is listed as Schedule 3 under the WC Act and as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act. Current distribution in suitable habitat from Tanami Desert west to near Broome and south to Warburton. Former distribution extended south to Margaret River, though apparently absent from the coastal plain (Burbidge 2004). MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Habitat: Current habitat included Acacia shrublands, spinifex and hummock grassland (Menkhorst et al. 2011).

Likely presence in subject site: Regionally extinct.

Potential impacts: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will ocurr.

Western Ringtail Possum Pseudocheirus occidentalis

Status and Distribution: Listed as Scheduled 2 under the WC Act and as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act. Common in suitable habitat (de Tores 2008). The highest densities of this species are recorded in peppermint habitat near Busselton area; relatively high densities are found in jarrah/marri forest at Perup (de Tores 2008).

The western ringtail possum has a restricted distribution in south-western Western Australia. Most known populations (natural and translocated) are now restricted to near coastal areas of the south west from the Dawesville area to the Waychinicup National Park. Inland, it is also known to be relatively common in a small part of the lower Collie River valley, the Perup Nature Reserve and surrounding forest blocks near Manjimup.

The western ringtail was formerly more widespread: in the 1970s it was known from Casuarina woodlands in the wheatbelt near Pingelly (south-east of Perth), and it is thought to have once occurred throughout much of south-western Western Australia (but not necessarily continuously distributed) (Maxwell et al. 1996; de Tores 2008).

Habitat: The western ringtail possum was once located in a variety of habitats including coastal peppermint, coastal peppermint-tuart, jarrah-marri associations, sheoak woodland, and eucalypt woodland and mallee. Coastal populations mostly inhabit peppermint-tuart associations with highest densities in habitats with dense, relatively lush vegetation. In these areas the main determinants of suitable habitat for WRPs appears to be the presence of Agonis flexuosa either as the dominant tree or as an understorey component of Eucalypt forest or woodland (Jones et al. 1994).

Inland, the largest known populations occur in the Upper Warren area east of Manjimup (Wayne et al. 2005). In this area the peppermint tree is naturally absent and jarrah- marri associations constitute the species refuge and foraging habitat. In these areas, where peppermint is scarce or absent, the species appears to primarily feed on Nuytsia floribunda, sheoak (Allocasuarina fraseriana), young jarrah and marri (including young shoots, flowers and ripening fruits)(G. Harewood per. obs.). This species also utilises pine forests but to what degree is unknown (G. Harewood per. obs.).

Utilises tree hollows when present and available but also builds “dreys” for daytime refuge where vegetation structure permits.

Likely presence in subject site: The current status in the area is uncertain. No evidence of this species was observed during the field survey and NatureMap (DPaW 2016) shows only very sparse records for the general area. Most of the vegetation present within the subject site does not represent habitat suitable for this species to utilise. Not listed as a potential species. MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Quokka Setonix brachyurus

Status and Distribution: Listed as Scheduled 3 under the WC Act and as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act. Rare and restricted in south west W.A. from south of Perth to Two Peoples Bay. The distribution of the Quokka includes Rottnest and Bald Islands, and at least 25 known sites on the mainland, including Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve, Torndirrup National Park, Mt Manypeaks National Park, Walpole-Nornalup National Park, and various swamp areas through the south-west forests from Jarrahdale to Walpole.

Habitat: Mainland populations of this species are currently restricted to densely vegetated coastal heaths, swamps, riverine habitats including tea-tree thickets on sandy soils along creek systems where they are less vulnerable to predation. The species is nocturnal.

Likely presence in subject site: This species preferred habitat is absent from the subject site. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Western Brush Wallaby Macropus irma

Status and Distribution: Listed as Priority 4 by DPaW. The western brush wallaby is distributed across the south-west of Western Australia from north of Kalbarri to Cape Arid (DPaW information pamphlet).

Habitat: The species optimum habitat is open forest or woodland, particularly favouring open, seasonally wet flats with low grasses and open scrubby thickets. It is also found in some larger areas of mallee and heathland in the wheatbelt. It is uncommon in wet sclerophyll forest and absent from true karri forest that have dense undergrowth (Van Dyck & Strahan 2008).

Likely presence in subject site: Current status in the area is difficult to determine. NatureMap (DpaW 2016) shows a small number of scattered records in the general area. Most of the subject site does not represent suitable habitat for this species. May occur very occasionally but not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur.

Western False Pipistrelle Falsistrellus mackenziei

Status and Distribution: Listed as Priority 4 by DPaW and as Near Threatened by the ICUN. Confined to south west W.A. south of Perth and east to the wheat belt. Most records from karri forests but also recorded in wetter stands of jarrah and tuart and MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1 woodlands on the Swan Coastal Plain (Menkhorst and Knight 2011). Range appears to be contracting southwards, presumably due to drying climate.

Habitat: Typically these bats are found in wet sclerophyll forest dominated by karri and in high rainfall zones of the jarrah and marri forest. They have also been recorded in mixed drier sclerophyll tuart-jarrah tall woodlands on the southern Swan Coastal Plain. Marri, sheoak and peppermint trees are often co-dominant at their collection localities. The species roosts in small colonies in tree hollows, branches and stumps (Churchill 2008). Forages at canopy level and in the larger gaps between trees.

Likely presence in subject site: There are very few records of this species in the immediate vicinity but it may utilise the subject site for foraging and possibly roosting.

Potential impact of development: Loss of small areas of potential habitat but impacts are unlikely to alter the species overall status in the wider area given the huge extent of similar habitat nearby.

Water Rat Hydromys chrysogaster

Status and Distribution: Listed as Priority 4 by DPaW. The water rat is widely distributed around Australia and its offshore islands, New Guinea and some adjacent islands. It occurs in fresh to brackish water habitats in the south-west of Western Australia, but occurs in marine environments along the Pilbara coastline and offshore islands. Previous survey work in the south west suggested this species was relatively common and widespread though difficult to capture (Christensen et al. 1985, How et al. 1987).

Habitat: The water rat occupies habitat in the vicinity of permanent water, fresh, brackish or marine. Likely to occur in all major rivers and most of the larger streams as well as bodies of permanent water in the lower south west (Christensen et al. 1985).

Likely presence in subject site: This species preferred habitat is absent from the subject site. Not listed as a potential species.

Potential impact of development: No impact on this species or its preferred habitat will occur. MRWA – SOUTH WEST HIGHWAY - SLK 219.345 – 220.900 - FAUNA ASSESSMENT – SEPTEMBER – V1
