Flora, Vegetation and Fauna Assessment – M291 Ioppolo Road, Chittering APPENDIX D Flora, vegetation and fauna assessment – M291 Ioppolo Road, Chittering This page has been left intentionally blank. Flora, Vegetation and Fauna Assessment Lot M2091 Ioppolo Road, Chittering DOC NO / NLWA‐00‐EN‐RP‐0009 REV / 0 DATE / 15 April 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) commissioned Coffey Environments Australia Pty Ltd (Coffey) to complete a Level 1 flora, vegetation and fauna and Black Cockatoo assessment, at Lot M2019 Ioppolo Road, Chittering (the study area), located approximately 50 kilometres (km) north of Perth in the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion of Western Australia. The purpose of the study was to undertake an assessment of the ecological values of the study area. The outcome of the assessment will be used to determine the suitability of the land as an offset for values to be impacted by the NorthLink WA project. The study area is 986 hectare (ha) and is adjacent to a C Class Nature Reserve to the west, which is 163 ha. The survey was conducted over four days 8 to 10 June and 17 June 2014. The key findings of the desktop assessment are: Twenty Threatened (Declared Rare‐extant) flora listed under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 were identified as potentially occurring within close proximity to the study area. Thirty four Priority listed flora recognised by the Department of Parks and Wildlife were identified as potentially occurring within close proximity to the study area. Ten taxa are considered Likely to occur; 15 as Possible; and 30 as Unlikely to occur in the study area. Seven ecological communities listed as conservation significant, including four Threatened Ecological Communities and three Priority Ecological Communities were identified for the study area. 221 fauna species have been previously recorded in the vicinity of the study area; these include 12 amphibians, 47 reptiles, 134 birds and 28 mammals. 14 conservation significant fauna species were identified as potentially occurring within close proximity to the study area, of these one species is considered Likely to occur, three as Possible and four species as Unlikely to occur in the study area. The key findings of the field survey are: The vegetation condition of the study area was considered to be Good to Pristine as per Bush Forever (Government of Western Australia, 2000 and Keighery, 1994) vegetation condition scale. The areas of vegetation considered to be pristine were generally located within the middle of the study area where introduced taxa and human visitation is low or non‐existent. Dieback in the study was considered uninfested and presents a low risk of spreading the disease into other areas. Dieback risk assessment allocated 87.6 ha as Low risk vegetation, with 12.2 ha as moderate and 19.4 ha as high risk. Sixteen vegetation units were described, four are considered to be representative of Priority 2 Ecological Community Banksia Yellow‐Orange Sands and two Threatened Ecological Communities. A total of 154 vascular taxa were recorded from the study area. One Threatened taxa Chamelaucium sp. Gingin (N.G. Marchant 6) and One Priority taxa Hypolaena robusta (P4) were recorded in the study area. April 2015 NLWA‐00‐EN‐RP‐0009 / Rev 0 Page i Six introduced taxa were recorded from the study area. None of them are considered to be Weeds of National Significance. *Zantedeschia aethiopica is registered as a Declared Pest under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007 and three species, *Zantedeschia aethiopica, *Lupinus sp. and *Brassica tournefortii, have a High rating under the Environmental Weed Strategy for Western Australia. Three fauna habitats were recorded in the study area: Banksia Woodland, Eucalypt Woodland and a Dampland. The Black Cockatoo Habitat assessed Eucalypt Woodland (315 ha) as high value Black Cockatoo habitat, Banksia Woodland (663 ha) as being moderate and Dampland (3 ha) as low value Black Cockatoo habitat. All habitat types contained multiple foraging resources for Black cockatoos which equates to approximately 981 ha of foraging habitat. Thirty nine fauna species were recorded during the survey including one species of amphibian, three species of reptile, 32 species of bird and three species of mammal. The Western Brush Wallaby (Macropus irma) listed as Priority 4 under Department of Parks and Wildlife’s Priority listing was the only conservation significant fauna species recorded during the survey. Black‐eared Cuckoo (Chrysococcyx osculans) was recorded during the survey this record is considered to occur just outside of the southerly distribution of this otherwise common species. The study area is considered to be of high conservation value comprising habitat for a high number of threatened flora and fauna species. The vegetation is representative of a number of Threatened and Priority Ecological Communities, some of these are likely to be impacted by the NorthLink WA Project. The addition of the study area to the conservation estate will substantially increase the estate with the adjacent Class C Reserve and provide protection of an important ecological linkage.

Sirona Capital Pty Ltd (the proponent) propose to develop a 127 ha portion of Lot 102 Great Northern Highway, Muchea (herein referred to as ‘the site’ or ‘the proposed action’) for industrial land uses. The site is located within the Shire of Chittering (SoC) local government area. In conjunction with the SoC, the proponent has now progressed the necessary local and state planning approvals to enable industrial development within the site. The location of the site is shown in Figure 1 (note that all figures are provided in Attachment A). Whilst the majority of the site has been historically cleared to support former land uses, some vegetation remains within the site including scattered mature paddock trees and isolated stands of remnant vegetation. To facilitate industrial development of the site, the following activities will be required: • Bulk earthworks, including the importation of fill across the site to achieve suitable separation to maximum groundwater levels and the alteration of the current road network. • Civil construction, including the construction of retaining walls, road networks, industrial lots and the installation of services, such as power, gas, water and sewerage. • Landscape works, which will include the design and implementation of streetscape treatments and maintenance of these areas for two years.

  • Native Vascular Plant Taxa SWAFR
    SWAFR - IBRA - Native Vascular Plant Taxa Paul Gioia, Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife Report generated on 22/06/2016 11:08:17 AM This analysis uses a pro tem definition of the SWAFR that served to define the study area. It was based on the collection of IBRA 6.1 bioregions most closely approximating the original definition of the Southwest Province by Beard (1980). Data for this report were derived from a snapshot taken from WAHERB on 18/05/2015 for Gioia & Hopper (2016) paper. Criteria for data extraction and analysis were: 1. All vascular plants 2. Species-rank names where the typical subspecies also existed were renamed to the typical subspecies to avoid counting duplicate taxa 3. Native vascular taxa with current names Note: 1. This report contains information generated from intersecting the supplied polygon layer LOCAL_SWFIBR with the point species occurrence layer WAHERB_FILT_NATIVE. 2.

  • Species List
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.
