The three sections investigated were: » Colourstone Section: SLK 2237.1 – 2250.1 » Erskine Section: SLK 2370.6 – 2381.8 » Ellendale Section: SLK 2415.3 – 2435.4 The following is a summary of the environmental aspects relevant to the project: » No reserves or conservation areas are located within or near the vicinity of the study areas; » A floodplain area is located within the Ellendale Section, and is associated with Mount Wynne Creek, which transects this section at approximately SLK 2431.0. Tributaries of the Little Logue River cross the Colourstone Section. These drainage lines and floodplains are ephemeral features and flow following heavy summer rainfall events. » The Canning•Kimberley Groundwater Area covers the entire Kimberley sub•region. Where dewatering, obstruction of groundwater or modification of stream banks is required for roadworks and bridge construction, Main Roads will need to compete the relevant application forms available from the Department of Water. » Construction works are likely to temporarily increase runoff and sedimentation. With appropriate management actions in place, surface hydrology and drainage is not considered likely to be adversely impacted by this project; » No Environmentally Sensitive Areas are located within or near the vicinity of the study areas; » The Department of Indigenous Affairs (DIA) Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System indicates that the following known Aboriginal heritage sites are located within two of the three study areas; o Colourstone Section: Nilli Bubbaca Well (Camp, Water Source); and o Erskine Section: Erskine Ranges (Artefacts / Scatter, Rockshelter). » A field survey conducted in October 2006 delineated the following broad vegetation types for each of the study areas: o Colourstone Section: Pindan Woodland o Erskine Section: Hummock Grass Steppe o Ellendale Section: Pindan Shrubland » The condition of vegetation within the study areas was generally homogenous and was assessed to range from Pristine•Excellent to Very Good. Recently burnt 61/18564/63923 Great Northern Highway Rehabilitation Project: Colourstone, Erskine and Ellendale Sections 1 Environmental Impact Assessment and Environmental Management Plan vegetation present at a number of survey locations sites made rating the condition of the vegetation difficult; » Each study area is wholly surrounded by continuous vegetation, with major disturbances being from fire or livestock grazing; » Vegetation extent is considered to be intact with 100% of the pre•European extent of vegetation remaining. The vegetation is poorly conserved within conservation areas, but the considerable extent of the vegetation and the remote nature of the study areas limit the threats to these vegetation types; » No Threatened Ecological Communities were recorded within the study areas; » A total of 117 species from 36 families were recorded from the study areas. Vegetation within the study areas is considered moderately diverse; » The flora survey was conducted outside the peak flowering season for flora in the Kimberley region. During this time annual plant species are typically absent, grass species senescent, and most perennial flora species have ceased flowering, reducing the capability for identification purposes and limiting the effectiveness of the flora survey; » No Declared Rare or Priority Flora species were recorded within the study areas, however; there are culturally significant flora species (Adansonia gregorii, Boab) within each of the surveyed areas and individual plants should not be disturbed where possible. » No threatened fauna species were recorded from the study areas. Field surveys did however observe evidence to suggest the presence of the Schedule 1 fauna species Petrogale lateralis (Black•footed Rock Wallaby (West Kimberley Race)) within the Erskine Section. Faecal matter observed within the rocky outcrops of the Erskine Ranges was noted to be distinctively different from Macropus spp. The Erskine Ranges is one of three known locations for populations of this wallaby. The project will not directly impact this species, however; care should be taken around the Erskine Ranges as it is likely that the wallaby would cross the highway at this point during foraging or when accessing a water point south of the road alignment. Any habitat disturbance should also be minimised within this section; » Fauna habitat and linkages will not be significantly disturbed or disrupted by the works planned for these sections. It is not considered that the extraction of material for the highway upgrade will significantly alter the fauna habitat of the region. It can be considered that a disturbance will occur on a local scale, which is likely to impact on individual animals, rather than a population; » Noise, dust and vibration from construction works are not likely to cause an impact, however

    Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks. Kununurra In March 2013 the RAC released its modelling of projected growth in motor vehicle registrations which revealed that an additional one million motorised vehicles could be on Western Australia’s roads by the end of this decade. This growth, combined with significant developments in Derby and around the Perth CBD, is placing increasing strain on an already Great Northern Hwy Broome Fitzroy Crossing over-stretched transport network.

  • BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
    BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands.

  • Project Profile Great Northern Highway/North West Coastal Highway Intersection Upgrade, Port Hedland, WA
    HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION Project Profile Great Northern Highway/North West Coastal Highway Intersection Upgrade, Port Hedland, WA Re-prioritisation of a key intersection enables free-flowing CONTRACT movement for trucks on a major freight route 41/15 - AS2124 construct only (roadworks) PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Great Northern Highway (GNH) and North West Coastal Highway (NWCH) CLIENT are the two main north-south routes between Perth and the north of Western Main Roads WA Australia. PRE-QUALIFICATION The GNH typically carries high volumes of heavy vehicle traffic between Newman R3 and Port Hedland; and the NWCH coastal route carries tourist traffic and lighter freight vehicles between Karratha and Port Hedland. TIMEFRAME Port Hedland has also taken its place as the busiest port (by tonnage) in the Jun 2016 - Nov 2016 World, as the iron ore juniors are without access to a mine-to-port rail link and use the road network as their primary transportation route. LOCATION As a result, the time taken for heavy vehicle road traffic to travel between the port Port Hedland, WA can have significant cost considerations for the iron ore juniors and the wider WA freight industry, with seemingly minor delays at intersections adding up to millions of dollars per year. PROJECT VALUE $3.6 million The configuration where the GNH intersected with the NWCH was originally a simple t-junction. This meant heavy vehicle traffic travelling north was required to stop before making a right turn from the GNH onto the NWCH to proceed northwards to Port Hedland. Works to upgrade this intersection were therefore commissioned to eliminate the old t-junction to allow heavy vehicle traffic a free-flow of movement between Newman and Port Hedland.
