  • Approved Conservation Advice for Rutidosis Heterogama (Heath Wrinklewren)

    Approved Conservation Advice for Rutidosis Heterogama (Heath Wrinklewren)

    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 Rutidosis heterogama (Heath Wrinklewren) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Rutidosis heterogama, Family Asteraceae, also known as the Heath Wrinklewren or Heath Wrinklewort, is a perennial herb with decumbent (reclining to lying down) to erect stems, growing to 30 cm high (Harden, 1992; DECC, 2005a). The tiny yellow flowerheads are probably borne March to April (Leigh et al., 1984), chiefly in Autumn (Harden, 1992) or November to January. Seeds are dispersed by wind (Clarke et al., 1998) and the species appears to require soil disturbance for successful recruitment (Clarke et al., 1998). Conservation Status Heath Wrinklewren 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 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The species is also listed as vulnerable on the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and Habitat Heath Wrinklewren is confined to the North Coast and Northern Tablelands regions of NSW. It is known from the Hunter Valley to Maclean, Wooli to Evans Head, and Torrington (Harden, 1992). It occurs within the Border Rivers–Gwydir, Hunter–Central Rivers and Northern Rivers (NSW) Natural Resource Management Regions.
  • Submission on Murrah Flora Reserves Draft Working Plan Thank You for This Opportunity to Comment on the State Forest Murrah Flora Reserves

    Submission on Murrah Flora Reserves Draft Working Plan Thank You for This Opportunity to Comment on the State Forest Murrah Flora Reserves

    31-Jan-18 Submission on Murrah Flora Reserves Draft Working Plan Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the State Forest Murrah Flora Reserves. We start by recognising OEH staff, Aboriginal and other conservationists whose evidence made saving our South Coast Koalas and ‘overarching values of the reserves’ overwhelmingly inevitable. NPWS managing one landscape under these two NSW Acts (Forestry & Parks) is not practical long-term. My management consultancy experience is from Industry, Government, National Parks Association (NSW) & Gulaga National Park Board (2007-2017). Projects include Unspoilt South Coast & Alps-to-Coast World Heritage. NSW Ministers said Murrah “PROTECTS SOUTH COAST KOALAS & LOCAL TIMBER INDUSTRY” (MR 1-Mar-16). Environment Minister Speakman told the ABC that flora reserves had the same protection as national parks. But local Liberal Andrew Constance, told media they kept the State Forest tenure “instead of national parks so in the future the operation of harvesting them again could be considered.” (Bega District News 4-Mar-16). Would Industry repay the $2.5M paid-out? How many of 278 jobs quoted depend on native forest sawlogs? We reference* opportunities within the 2017 Murrah Draft Plan, under three recommendations: 1. Add Murrah to existing Aboriginal-owned and NPWS co-managed Biamanga National Park [*P.1] ‘The primary purpose … is to conserve the south coast’s last known koala population and the protection of a natural and cultural landscape incorporating Biamanga and Gulaga national parks, both of which are Aboriginal owned and managed by a majority Aboriginal owner board’. [*P.3] ‘The boards aspire to … the Murrah Flora Reserves ultimately being added to Biamanga NP.’ We understand this NSW Government very nearly declared these Murrah Reserves as National Park! Mean-spirited State Forest tenure prevents Aboriginal Owners adding Murrah to their Biamanga NP Lease.

To request free initial legal advice on an environmental or planning law issue, please visit our website1 or call our Environmental Law Advice Line. Your request will be allocated to one of our solicitors who will call you back, usually within a few days of your call. Sydney: 02 9262 6989 Northern Rivers: 1800 626 239 Rest of NSW: 1800 626 239 EDO NSW has published a book on environmental Law for Aboriginal communities in NSW. For a more comprehensive guide, read Caring for Country: A guide to environmental law for Aboriginal communities in NSW. Overview Aboriginal people need to be able to access lands and waters to continue their traditions. These traditional practices include fishing, hunting, gathering food, camping, gathering firewood, visiting places with cultural significance, caring for country, caring for burial and other sites, and practising culture. Aboriginal people may always attempt to negotiate access, but the landowner may not always agree. The legal rights of Aboriginal people to access land and water depend on the legal status of the land or waterway. Further information about land dealings may be obtained from the EDO’s series of Fact Sheets and from the NSW Aboriginal Land Council. Access to particular types of land General A Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC) may negotiate an agreement with any land owner or occupier or person in control of land to permit an Aboriginal group or 1 http://www.edonsw.org.au/legal_advice 2 individual ‘to have access to the land for the purpose of hunting, fishing or gathering on the land’.2 If an agreement cannot be reached, the LALC may request that the Land and Environment Court issue a permit to access the land, or a right of way across the land, for the purpose of hunting, or fishing, or gathering traditional foods for domestic purposes.3 The Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) allows for access agreements to be negotiated.

Australia’s Oldest National Park as a Case Study ROSS L. GOLDINGAY School of Environmental Science & Management, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW 2480 Published on 3 September 2012 at http://escholarship.library.usyd.edu.au/journals/index.php/LIN Goldingay, R.L. (2012). What role does ecological research play in managing biodiversity in protected areas? Australia’s oldest National Park as a case study. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 134, B119-B134. How we manage National Parks (protected areas or reserves) for their biodiversity is an issue of current debate. At the centre of this issue is the role of ecological research and its ability to guide reserve management. One may assume that ecological science has suffi cient theory and empirical evidence to offer a prescription of how reserves should be managed. I use Royal National Park (Royal NP) as a case study to examine how ecological science should be used to inform biodiversity conservation. Ecological research relating to reserve management can be: i) of generic application to reserve management, ii) specifi c to the reserve in which it is conducted, and iii) conducted elsewhere but be of relevance due to the circumstances (e.g. species) of another reserve. I outline how such research can be used to inform management actions within Royal NP. I also highlight three big challenges for biodiversity management in Royal NP: i) habitat connectivity, ii) habitat degradation and iii) fi re management.
