The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP Premier Parliament House SYDNEY NSW 2000 Dear Premier, Report – NSW Bushfire Inquiry In January 2020 you announced the establishment of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry, noting it was to be completed by 31 July 2020. We now submit the final report of that Inquiry. The 2019-20 bush fires were some of the worst in the world and in recorded history. The Inquiry has worked to understand what happened during the 2019-20 bush fire season and how it was different to seasons that have come before. It makes 76 recommendations for future improvements to how NSW plans and prepares for, and responds to, bush fires. Some of these recommendations are for immediate action; others for actions that need to start now but will take some time to complete. Noting the breadth of the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference, the recommendations range from improvements to operational systems and processes through to significant research and strategic policy frameworks that require further development and consultation with key stakeholders. In presenting this final report we wish to acknowledge the assistance of many people – those who took the time to write submissions or talk to the Inquiry; the NSW fire agencies; colleagues from government departments in NSW and other jurisdictions; colleagues in industry, research organisations, and professional associations; and the Secretariat and Advisors to the Inquiry drawn from several government departments who worked hard to help us make sense of a complex matter. -
Approved Conservation Advice for Pultenaea Baeuerlenii (Budawangs Bush-Pea)
This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister/ Delegate of the Minister on: 3/07/2008. Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Pultenaea baeuerlenii (Budawangs Bush-pea) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Pultenaea baeuerlenii, Family Fabaceae, also known as Budawangs Bush-pea, is a small erect shrub growing from 60 cm to 1.5 m tall (Leigh et al., 1984; Harden, 1991; de Kok & West, 2003). The ‘egg and bacon’ orange and yellow pea-shaped flowers form dense clusters at the ends of branches (DECC, 2005). Flowering occurs mainly from October to December, but has also been observed in autumn (Leigh et al., 1984; de Kok & West, 2003; DECC, 2005). Fruiting occurs from January to March (Leigh et al., 1984; de Kok & West, 2003). Conservation status Budawangs Bush-pea is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as vulnerable under Schedule 1 to the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The species is also listed as vulnerable under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and habitat Budawangs Bush-pea is confined to the Budawang Range, Southern Tablelands, NSW (Harden, 1991). The species is known from only four sites in Morton and Budawang National Parks – Mt Currockbilly, Bhundoo Hill, Burrumbeet Brook and Corang Trig (DECC, 2005). -

1. Bimberi Hydrogeological Landscape
1. Bimberi Hydrogeological Landscape Bimberi Peak, Bimberi Nature LOCALITIES Reserve, part of Namadgi National Park Low Low Land Salt Load Salinity (in-stream) Brindabella 1:100 000 MAP SHEET Tantangara 1:100 000 Low EC (in-stream) CONFIDENCE LEVEL Moderate OVERVIEW The Bimberi Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) extends in a north-south strip in the west of the ACT in the Namadgi National Park (Figure 1). The HGL covers an area of 80 km2 and receives 1000 to 1700 mm of rain per annum. Figure 1: Bimberi HGL distribution map. Bimberi HGL is defined by a soil landscape boundary of Bimberi Soil Landscape (Figure 2). There are high altitude (alpine) and sub alpine areas in the landscape, which is granitic, with small tors and rounded dome shaped hills. A feature of the landscape is large areas of peat wetlands in the higher landscape units, which have developed behind bedrock controlled areas or in depressions. This is different from Clear Range HGL, which has shallow rocky soils with steep slopes. Namadgi HGL is also a granitic landscape, with distinctive tors in the upper landscape. In the alpine area there are large numbers of peat bogs in the higher landscape units, with more water stored in Organosol soils. These areas act as a ‘sponges’ and influence the hydrology of the whole unit. Water movement is via through-flow, with constant delivery of water fed by the peats and the organosols in the higher altitudes to the lower landscape so that flow in the system often continues well after rain. There is high rainfall and runoff in the area and occasional snowfall which drives the water dynamics. -
