  • Flora Translocation Strategy Pacific Highway Upgrade Sections 3-11 Excluding Early Works Soft Soil Treatment Areas Woolgoolga to Ballina
    W2B-RMS-0-EF-PLN-00039 Flora Translocation Strategy Pacific Highway Upgrade Sections 3-11 excluding Early Works Soft Soil Treatment Areas Woolgoolga to Ballina Version 3 April 2017 APRIL 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New South Wales Roads and Maritime Services are upgrading the Pacific Highway between Woolgoolga and Ballina on the NSW North Coast (the Project). The preparation of a translocation strategy for impacted threatened flora species i.e. listed on schedules of the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (TSC Act) and the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) is a requirement of the conditions of approval. The translocation strategy is complemented by an offset strategy offset package and offset status report. Impacts to threatened species will be fully offset. The translocation management actions detailed in this report are additional to offsets. The translocation strategy has been submitted in stages. A Translocation Strategy for Sections 1 and 2 of the Project (part of Stage 1) - was approved on 12 May 2015 and a strategy for Early Works Soft Soils Treatment Areas three waves of construction packaging making up the remainder of Stage 1 of the highway upgrade) was approved on 9 June 2015. The current strategy covers Sections 3 to 11 (excluding Early Works Soft Soils Treatment Areas. Sixteen species of threatened flora are identified as being directly impacted by the upgrade of Sections 3 to 11 (excluding Early Works Soft Soils Treatment Areas) and twelve are assessed as feasible for translocation. They are: Four-tailed Grevillea Grevillea quadricauda (Vulnerable TSC Act EPBC Act). Green-leaved rose walnut Endiandra muelleri subsp.

  • Northern Rivers Regional Biodiversity Management Plan
    Foreword The Northern Rivers Regional Biodiversity Management Plan (the Plan) constitutes the national regional recovery plan under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 for threatened species and ecological communities principally distributed in the Northern Rivers Region of NSW. The Plan is part of an Australian Government-funded pilot to trial the integration of regional recovery and threat abatement planning. It provides a regional approach to the delivery of recovery actions necessary to ensure the long-term viability of threatened species and ecological communities in the Region. The Northern Rivers Region is an area relatively rich in biodiversity data. This has allowed for innovative and sophisticated analysis techniques to be used in this Plan for biodiversity assessment and identification of priority areas for conservation works. These outputs will help guide investment by the Australian Government, New South Wales Government and local authorities in the Region. Collaboration and partnerships will be essential for the implementation of the Plan. The Plan considers all threats affecting biodiversity in the Region, including those associated with the potential impacts of climate change. The Plan also incorporates Indigenous cultural values and considerations into biodiversity management in the Region. It is in this context that the Plan, in association with the approved Border Ranges Rainforest Biodiversity Management Plan (DECCW 2010), sets out an overall strategy for the conservation and restoration
