The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service is part of the Department of Environment and Conservation ISBN 0 731 365 100 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PLANNING AND CONSULTATIVE PROCESS This Fire Management Plan (FMP) has been developed to provide direction for fire management activities, including bushfire prevention, suppression and mitigation activities, in Sydney Harbour and Botany Bay (La Perouse Precinct) National Parks (Botany Bay – Kurnell Precinct is covered by a separate FMP). This plan will emphasise the protection of life and property as well as providing direction for land managers in the protection of the natural and cultural heritage of the Parks. This plan provides detailed policies and actions for fire management which complement the Plans of Management for Sydney Harbour and Botany Bay (La Perouse Precinct) National Parks. This plan also provides guidance to other fire authorities in the management of fires within the above areas and will provide guidance in terms of future reviews of bush fire operational and bushfire risk management plans. The management of fire within Sydney Harbour and Botany Bay (La Perouse Precinct) National Parks have particular challenges as they incorporate small, fragmented areas of harbour and coastal foreshores and islands and a range of cultural sites, all adjacent to densely populated Sydney suburbs. Various methods of fuel management will be implemented within the parks, including mechanical fuel removal and ecological and prescribed burns (when native regeneration is required). All fire management activities undertaken within the Parks will include: rehabilitation measures such as weed, sedimentation and erosion control, sustainability value of remaining unburnt vegetation for wildlife, effects of fire and smoke on residents, maintenance of biodiversity and the overall management effectiveness of the activity. The success of fuel reduction operations within the Parks will also rely upon the co-operation of the community. Neighbours will need to manage fuels near their own assets to complement work undertaken in the parks. This Fire Management Plan was developed in consultation with neighbours, NSW Fire Brigades and the Environmental Officers of Manly, Mosman, Randwick and Woollahra City Councils. Although every effort has been made to ensure accuracy of details from existing databases, additional information is continually being collected and management concepts and practices evolving. Therefore, it is proposed that this plan will be updated annually and reviewed in five years. FIRE MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES In accordance with Sections 63 & 64 and Part 1, Section 3 of the Rural Fires Act 1997 and also in accordance with the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974; the primary objectives for fire management in Sydney Harbour and Botany Bay (La Perouse Precinct) National Parks are: • Protect human life and property both within the park and adjacent to it • To prevent the occurrence of unplanned bushfires on the Parks. • To suppress unplanned bushfires occurring on the Parks. • To minimise the potential for spread of bushfires on, from, or into the Parks. Fire Management Plan Sydney Harbour & Botany Bay (La Perouse Precinct) National Parks i • To protect from damage by bushfires all Aboriginal sites, Historic places and culturally significant features known to exist within the Parks. • Maintain species habitat and diversity, avoid local extinctions of native plants and animals and enhance the conservation of rare and endangered native plants and animals • Protect key natural assets, including fire sensitive habitats such as rainforest remnants STRATEGIES FOR LIFE AND PROPERTY PROTECTION Strategies for the protection of life and property from the effects of wildfires include: • Rapid suppression of wildfire. • The maintenance of fire breaks and trails along park boundaries in priority protection areas. • Fuel reduction through mowing, slashing or prescribed burning where indicated. • Community Fireguard will be promoted in neighbouring areas. STRATEGIES FOR FIRE MANAGEMENT Strategies for the prevention, detection and control of wildfire that are included in the plan are: • The suppression of wildfires in a manner that minimises the threat to human life and property, and that minimises adverse impacts on the natural and cultural features of the Park; • Appropriate locations will be managed as asset protection zones, with intensively managed fuel reduced areas around the assets; • Appropriate locations will be managed as strategic zones to limit the intensity of fire in strategic areas. • Monitoring of fuel levels within zones on an annual basis; • Co-operation with other fire authorities and local Councils to plan and implement fire management. STRATEGIES FOR HERITAGE MANAGEMENT Strategies for the protection of natural and cultural heritage include: • the exclusion of fire as far as practicable from areas with cultural heritage items that may be damaged by fire eg historic buildings, Aboriginal sites; • determine and implement appropriate fire regimes to maintain biodiversity (ie. the complex diversity of vegetation associations and structures), to prevent species or community extinction and to protect specific natural assets; • assessment of environmental impacts prior to any fire management works; • monitoring vegetation regeneration following fire events. Fire Management Plan Sydney Harbour & Botany Bay (La Perouse Precinct) National Parks ii PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Unplanned fire ignitions on the reserves, caused by humans, are progressively reduced over the planning period. Fires occurring on a reserve are suppressed within appropriate control lines on the reserve, safely, with minimum environmental damage and cost effectively during the planning period. Fires starting in a reserve are suppressed within the reserve and fires starting outside of a reserve are prevented from entering the reserve, safely, with minimum environmental damage and cost during the planning period. No death or injury to persons, or destruction of property, caused by on park bushfires in the planning period. Fire regimes are maintained within specified ecological thresholds across more than 50% of the area of each plant community on each reserve. No significant decline of species populations (common or endangered) due to inappropriate fire regimes, suppression activities or other fire management works, occurs during the planning period. No damage caused to Aboriginal sites, historic places and culturally significant features as a result of bushfires occurs during the planning period.

In a nutshell • Cities and towns can be important places for conservation and engaging people with nature • Urban areas can also be the last places that threatened species persist, and represent the last opportunity to save such species from extinction. • Conserving these urban-restricted threatened species requires looKing beyond conventional conservation reserves and embracing a variety of marginal habitats and land-use types • These species also benefit when community members are aware and engaged in local conservation action • The role of urban environments in species conservation often goes unnoticed, and must be better recognised in policy and recovery planning Abstract: Urban environments are arguably among the most fitting targets for conservation science: a golden opportunity to conserve species and ecosystems under threat, and allow people to engage with nature.

  • Native Plants of Sydney Harbour National Park: Historical Records and Species Lists, and Their Value for Conservation Monitoring
    Native plants of Sydney Harbour National Park: historical records and species lists, and their value for conservation monitoring Doug Benson National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens, Mrs Macquaries Rd, Sydney 2000 AUSTRALIA [email protected] Abstract: Sydney Harbour National Park (lat 33° 53’S; long 151° 13’E), protects significant vegetation on the harbour foreshores close to Sydney City CBD; its floristic abundance and landscape beauty has been acknowledged since the writings of the First Fleet in 1788. Surprisingly, although historical plant collections were made as early as1802, and localised surveys have listed species for parts of the Park since the 1960s, a detailed survey of the flora of whole Park is still needed. This paper provides the first definitive list of the c.400 native flora species for Sydney Harbour National Park (total area 390 ha) showing occurrence on the seven terrestrial sub-regions or precincts (North Head, South Head, Dobroyd Head, Middle Head, Chowder Head, Bradleys Head and Nielsen Park). The list is based on historical species lists, records from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (formerly Dept of Environment, Climate Change and Water) Atlas, National Herbarium of New South Wales specimen details, and some additional fieldwork. 131 species have only been recorded from a single precinct site and many are not substantiated with a recent herbarium specimen (though there are historical specimens from the general area for many). Species reported in the sources but for which no current or historic specimen exists are listed separately as being of questionable/non-local status.

  • 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.

  • Further Details for Each of These Matters, Including Proximity to the Project and Potential for Impact to Be Realised, Are Provided in the Following Sections
    Further details for each of these matters, including proximity to the project and potential for impact to be realised, are provided in the following sections. The output of the Protected Matters Search Tool is provided in Appendix B. Commonwealth Marine Areas The NPZ cable corridor is located within the following Commonwealth Marine Areas: y Exclusive Economic Zone and Territorial Sea; and y Extended Continental Shelf. The Protected Matters search identified three KEFs within the cable corridor 10 km buffer, including: y Canyons on the eastern continental slope; y Tasman front and eddy field; and y Norfolk ridge. Canyons on the eastern continental slope As described in the matters of envrionmental significance section, the canyons of the eastern continental slope are considered to be a unique sea-floor feature with ecological properties of regional significance (DSEWPaC, 2012). They contribute to the overall habitat diversity of the benthic environment by providing hard substrate in depth zones where soft sediment habitats prevail. The cable corridor does not pass through any of the mapped canyons (Figure A-20). The closest mapped canyon feature is located approximately 10 km to the north of the cable corridor. Given the narrow project corridor, low impact nature of the activity and geographical extent of this KEF, no impact is expected. Detailed impact assessment supporting this conclusion is provided in Appendix C. Tasman front and eddy field The Tasman Front and eddy field is considered to be an area of high productivity, noted for aggregations of marine life, resulting in high biodiversity and endemism (DSEWPaC, 2012). The Tasman Front separates the warm, nutrient poor waters of the Coral Sea from the cold, nutrient rich waters of the Tasman Sea.
