SUMMARY Mattiske Consulting Pty Ltd was commissioned by the Moonies Hill Energy to undertake a review of the flora, vegetation and fauna values on the proposed Flat Rocks Wind Farm location. The proposed development occurs primarily within cleared agricultural areas. Therefore, the effort concentrated on desktop reviews and an assessment of the main remnants and roadside vegetation that may be disturbed by vehicle movement and installation of the wind farm facilities. Two experienced biologists completed the site assessments on the 29th of September to 1st October, 2010. In addition, a review of the fauna values were discussed with experienced zoologists. Flora A total of 77 vascular plant taxa from 59 plant genera and 22 plant families were recorded within the Flat Rocks Wind Farm survey area. The most prominent families represented within the survey area were Poaceae (15 taxa), Myrtaceae (13 taxa), Fabaceae (9 taxa), and Asteraceae (9 taxa). Rare, Priority and Threatened Flora There were no Declared Rare and Priority Flora species pursuant to subsection (2) of section 23F of the Wildlife Conservation Act (1950) [WA] and as listed by the Department of Environment and Conservation (2010e) that were recorded within the Flat Rocks Wind Farm survey area (Appendix A1). Twenty one sites were chosen within the Moonies Hill survey area (Table 2). No plant taxa listed as Threatened pursuant to Schedule 1 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth) (Department of the Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities 2010b) were recorded during the survey within the Flat Rocks Wind Farm survey area. Threatened Ecological Communities No threatened ecological communities as defined by the EPBC Act (1999) or the Department of Environment and Conservation (2010c) were located in this survey area. Fauna Although a range of potential fauna values were sourced from a desktop assessment of potential rare and threatened species; in view of the degree of degradation unless remnant areas are likely to be

Can kangaroos survive in the wheaibelt? mm mmmm By Graham Arnold, Senior Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO Division of Wildlife and Ecology, Helena Valley One of the costs of agricultural development in Western Australia over the past 100 years has been the loss of most of the native vegetation and, consequently, massive reductions in the numbers of most of our native fauna. Thirteen mammal species are extinct and many bird and mammal species are extinct in some areas. These losses will increase as remnant native vegetation degrades under the impact of nutrients washed and blown from farmland, from the invasion by Western grey kangaroo grazing weeds and from grazing sheep. on pasture in the early morning. Even kangaroos are affected.

  • Breeding Patterns for Western Brush Wallaby (Notamacropus Irma) in the Southern Jarrah Forest
    Breeding patterns for western brush wallaby (Notamacropus irma) in the southern jarrah forest. Wayne, A.F., Read, E., Maxwell, M.A., Ward, C.G. Biodiversity and Conservation Science Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions Brain Street Manjimup, 6258, Western Australia February 2021 Introduction The western brush wallaby (Notamacropus irma) is a medium-sized macropod endemic to south-western Australia. At 7 - 10 kg (Morris and Christensen 2008), it is listed as least concern under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (Woinarski and Burbidge 2016), but it is listed as a priority four species at the State level by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCDBCA (Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions)21) . It occurs in a wide range of habitats including open forest and woodland (Woinarski and Burbidge 2014). The western brush wallaby is unusual amongst macropods, being generally solitary except during breeding (Algar 1986; Bamford and Bamford 1999; Christensen 1995). Relatively little is known about the Western Brush Wallaby given its cryptic habit and the difficulties experienced in capturing individuals using conventional trapping techniques. In particular, there is little information available on reproduction for the species (Woinarski et al. 2014). While the gestation period for western brush wallaby is not known to us, we estimate it to be about 30 days given the gestation period of the sympatric large macropods Tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii, 29.3 days) and western grey kangaroo (Macropus fuliginosus, 30.6 days) and the average for Macropodidae being about 32 days (Hume et al. 1989). Pouch life in the Macropodidae varies greatly between species but is typically 150 – 320 days and the juveniles of larger kangaroo species may spend many months getting in and out of the pouch (Hume et al.

  • Thylacinidae
    FAUNA of AUSTRALIA 20. THYLACINIDAE JOAN M. DIXON 1 Thylacine–Thylacinus cynocephalus [F. Knight/ANPWS] 20. THYLACINIDAE DEFINITION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION The single member of the family Thylacinidae, Thylacinus cynocephalus, known as the Thylacine, Tasmanian Tiger or Wolf, is a large carnivorous marsupial (Fig. 20.1). Generally sandy yellow in colour, it has 15 to 20 distinct transverse dark stripes across the back from shoulders to tail. While the large head is reminiscent of the dog and wolf, the tail is long and characteristically stiff and the legs are relatively short. Body hair is dense, short and soft, up to 15 mm in length. Body proportions are similar to those of the Tasmanian Devil, Sarcophilus harrisii, the Eastern Quoll, Dasyurus viverrinus and the Tiger Quoll, Dasyurus maculatus. The Thylacine is digitigrade. There are five digital pads on the forefoot and four on the hind foot. Figure 20.1 Thylacine, side view of the whole animal. (© ABRS)[D. Kirshner] The face is fox-like in young animals, wolf- or dog-like in adults. Hairs on the cheeks, above the eyes and base of the ears are whitish-brown. Facial vibrissae are relatively shorter, finer and fewer than in Tasmanian Devils and Quolls. The short ears are about 80 mm long, erect, rounded and covered with short fur. Sexual dimorphism occurs, adult males being larger on average. Jaws are long and powerful and the teeth number 46. In the vertebral column there are only two sacrals instead of the usual three and from 23 to 25 caudal vertebrae rather than 20 to 21.

    Bindaring Park Bassendean - Fauna Assessment Wetland habitat within Bindaring Park study area (Rob Browne-Cooper) Prepared for: Coterra Environment Level 3, 25 Prowse Street, WEST PERTH, WA 6005 Prepared by: Robert Browne-Cooper and Mike Bamford M.J. & A.R. Bamford Consulting Ecologists 23 Plover Way KINGSLEY WA 6026 6th April 2017 Bindaring Park - Fauna Assessment Summary Bamford Consulting Ecologists was commissioned by Coterra Environment to conduct a Level 1 fauna assessment (desktop review and site inspection) of Bindaring Park in Bassendean (the study area). The fauna survey is required to provide information on the ecological values for the Town of Bassendean’s Stage 2 Bindaring Wetland Concept Plan Development. This plan include developing design options (within wetland area) to enhance ecological values and habitat. The purpose of this report is to provide information on the fauna values of the habitat, particularly for significant species, and an overview of the ecological function of the site within the local and regional context. This assessment focuses on vertebrate fauna associated with the wetland and surrounding parkland vegetation within the study area, with consideration for connectivity with the Swan River. An emphasis is placed on locally-occurring conservation significant species and their habitat. Relevant species include Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo, Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo, and other local native species such as the Water Rat or Rakali. The fauna investigations were based on a desktop assessment and a field survey conducted in February 2017. The desktop study identified 180 vertebrate fauna species as potentially occurring in the Bindaring Park study area (see Table 3 and Appendix 5): five fish, 6 frogs, 20 reptiles, 134 birds, 8 native and 7 introduced mammals.
