Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Referral of proposed action

What is a referral?

The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (the EPBC Act) provides for the protection of the environment, especially matters of national environmental significance (NES). Under the EPBC Act, a person must not take an action that has, will have, or is likely to have a significant impact on any of the matters of NES without approval from the Australian Government Environment Minister or the Minister’s delegate. (Further references to ‘the Minister’ in this form include references to the Minister’s delegate.) To obtain approval from the Environment Minister, a proposed action should be referred. The purpose of a referral is to obtain a decision on whether your proposed action will need formal assessment and approval under the EPBC Act.

Your referral will be the principal basis for the Minister’s decision as to whether approval is necessary and, if so, the type of assessment that will be undertaken. These decisions are made within 20 business days, provided that sufficient information is provided in the referral.

Who can make a referral?

Referrals may be made by or on behalf of a person proposing to take an action, the Commonwealth or a Commonwealth agency, a state or territory government, or agency, provided that the relevant government or agency has administrative responsibilities relating to the action.

When do I need to make a referral?

A referral must be made for actions that are likely to have a significant impact on the following matters protected by Part 3 of the EPBC Act:

 World Heritage properties (sections 12 and 15A)  National Heritage places (sections 15B and 15C)  Wetlands of international importance (sections 16 and 17B)  Listed threatened species and communities (sections 18 and 18A)  Listed migratory species (sections 20 and 20A)  Protection of the environment from nuclear actions (sections 21 and 22A)  Commonwealth marine environment (sections 23 and 24A)  Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (sections 24B and 24C)  A water resource, in relation to coal seam gas development and large coal mining development (sections 24D and 24E)  The environment, if the action involves Commonwealth land (sections 26 and 27A), including:  actions that are likely to have a significant impact on the environment of Commonwealth land (even if taken outside Commonwealth land);  actions taken on Commonwealth land that may have a significant impact on the environment generally;  The environment, if the action is taken by the Commonwealth (section 28)  Commonwealth Heritage places outside the Australian jurisdiction (sections 27B and 27C)

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 1 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

You may still make a referral if you believe your action is not going to have a significant impact, or if you are unsure. This will provide a greater level of certainty that Commonwealth assessment requirements have been met.

To help you decide whether or not your proposed action requires approval (and therefore, if you should make a referral), the following guidance is available from:

 the Policy Statement titled Significant Impact Guidelines 1.1 – Matters of National Environmental Significance. Additional sectoral guidelines are also available.  the Policy Statement titled Significant Impact Guidelines 1.2 - Actions on, or impacting upon, Commonwealth land, and actions by Commonwealth agencies.  the interactive map tool (enter a location to obtain a report on what matters of NES may occur in that location).

Can I refer part of a larger action?

In certain circumstances, the Minister may not accept a referral for an action that is a component of a larger action and may request the person proposing to take the action to refer the larger action for consideration under the EPBC Act (Section 74A, EPBC Act). If you wish to make a referral for a staged or component referral, read ‘Fact Sheet 6 Staged Developments/Split Referrals’ and contact the Referral Business Entry Point (1800 803 772).

Do I need a permit?

Some activities may also require a permit under other sections of the EPBC Act or another law of the Commonwealth. Information is available on the Department’s web site. Is your action in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park?

If your action is in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park it may require permission under the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Act 1975 (GBRMP Act). If a permission is required, referral of the action under the EPBC Act is deemed to be an application under the GBRMP Act (see section 37AB, GBRMP Act). This referral will be forwarded to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (the Authority) for the Authority to commence its permit processes as required under the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Regulations 1983. If a permission is not required under the GBRMP Act, no approval under the EPBC Act is required (see section 43, EPBC Act). The Authority can provide advice on relevant permission requirements applying to activities in the Marine Park.

The Authority is responsible for assessing applications for permissions under the GBRMP Act, GBRMP Regulations and Zoning Plan. Where assessment and approval is also required under the EPBC Act, a single integrated assessment for the purposes of both Acts will apply in most cases. Further information on environmental approval requirements applying to actions in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is available from http://www.gbrmpa.gov.au/ or by contacting GBRMPA's Environmental Assessment and Management Section on (07) 4750 0700.

The Authority may require a permit application assessment fee to be paid in relation to the assessment of applications for permissions required under the GBRMP Act, even if the permission is made as a referral under the EPBC Act. Further information on this is available from the Authority:

Do I have to pay for my referral or assessment / what are the fees? Currently the department does not impose fees for environmental impact assessments referred and assessed under the EPBC Act. However, fees are proposed as part of cost recovery reforms to the EPBC Act. The commencement of cost recovery is subject to an amendment Bill being passed by Parliament and the making of regulations. Further details on the proposed cost recovery arrangements can be found in the draft EPBC Act Cost Recovery Impact Statement which is available at http://www.environment.gov.au/epbc/publications/consultation-draft-cost-recovery.html. The department will inform you of your liability for potential fees prior to the introduction of cost recovery arrangements. Cost recovery arrangements will only apply to proposed actions referred to the department after 8 May 2012. Your proposed action may be subject to fees for environmental impact assessments if: • your referral is determined a controlled action and is still undergoing assessment under the EPBC Act at the commencement of cost recovery. Fees will only apply to the assessment work undertaken by the department after the commencement of cost recovery; and/or • you submit an action management plan for approval of the Minister after the commencement of cost recovery. Please note this will only apply if an action management plan is listed as a condition of the approval decision under the EPBC Act. There will be no retrospective charging for the stages of assessment initiated before cost recovery commences. Fees will only apply to those stages of the assessment that occur after cost recovery commences.

What information do I need to provide?

Completing all parts of this form will ensure that you submit the required information and will also assist the Department to process your referral efficiently. If a section of the referral document is not applicable to your proposal enter N/A.

What happens next?

Following receipt of a valid referral (containing all required information) you will be advised of the next steps in the process, and the referral and attachments will be published on the Department’s web site for public comment.

The Department will write to you within 20 business days to advise you of the outcome of your referral and whether or not formal assessment and approval under the EPBC Act is required. There are a number of possible decisions regarding your referral:

The proposed action is NOT LIKELY to have a significant impact and does NOT NEED approval

No further consideration is required under the environmental assessment provisions of the EPBC Act and the action can proceed (subject to any other Commonwealth, state or local government requirements).

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 4 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

The proposed action is NOT LIKELY to have a significant impact IF undertaken in a particular manner

The action can proceed if undertaken in a particular manner (subject to any other Commonwealth, state or local government requirements). The particular manner in which you must carry out the action will be identified as part of the final decision. You must report your compliance with the particular manner to the Department.

The proposed action is LIKELY to have a significant impact and does NEED approval

If the action is likely to have a significant impact a decision will be made that it is a controlled action. The particular matters upon which the action may have a significant impact (such as World Heritage values or threatened species) are known as the controlling provisions.

The controlled action is subject to a public assessment process before a final decision can be made about whether to approve it. The assessment approach will usually be decided at the same time as the controlled action decision. (Further information about the levels of assessment and basis for deciding the approach are available on the Department’s web site.)

The proposed action would have UNACCEPTABLE impacts and CANNOT proceed

The Minister may decide, on the basis of the information in the referral, that a referred action would have clearly unacceptable impacts on a protected matter and cannot proceed.

Compliance audits

If a decision is made to approve a project, the Department may audit it at any time to ensure that it is completed in accordance with the approval decision or the information provided in the referral. If the project changes, such that the likelihood of significant impacts could vary, you should write to the Department to advise of the changes. If your project is in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and a decision is made to approve it, the Authority may also audit it. (See “Is your action in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park,” p.2, for more details).

Referral of proposed action

Project title: Residential Development of Lot 6 Talbot Road, Stratton

1 Summary of proposed action

1.1 Short description

The Western Australian Department of Housing is seeking to develop 9.4234ha of Lot 6 Talbot Road, Stratton as a residential development. A total of 6.9606ha (42.5% of the site) will be retained as native vegetation in Public Open Space of which 6.003ha will be enhanced and ceded into the Talbot Road Reserve that is managed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW).

The development will result in the clearing of 155 potential breeding trees for Black Cockatoos greater than 500mm in diameter and the retention of 110 potential breeding trees in Public Open Space (POS). A total of 7.59ha of foraging habitat for Black Cockatoos will be cleared and 6.96ha retained.

Two Threatened Ecological Communities (TEC) occur on the site. Development will result in 100% retention of the TEC Corymbia calophylla - Kingia australis Woodlands on Heavy Soil (SCP3a) and increased protection in a future Conservation Area. Development will result in 3.64ha of Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain (SCP20c) being cleared and 4.56ha retained in POS.

1.2 Latitude and longitude Attachment 1

1.3 Locality and property description

Lot 6 Talbot Road (the site) is located in the suburb of Stratton in the City of Swan. The site is approximately 18km north-east of the Perth Central Business District (Figure 1).

2 Detailed description of proposed action

2.1 Description of proposed action

Development of Lot 6 Talbot Road is proposed to be subdivided for Residential purposes. The subdivision design has been refined over the last 20 years (See Section 2.2) and the final proposed subdivision has 114 Single Residential lots, 62 Laneway lots and 2 lots for Grouped Housing. Currently the site is mostly vegetated with remnant native vegetation. The development will occur on 57.5% (9.4234ha) of the site and 42.5% of the site will have the vegetation retained in a POS of 6.0003ha that is proposed to be ceded as Conservation Estate and a separate additional 0.9576ha POS area.

The development will result in the clearing of 155 potential breeding trees for Black Cockatoos greater than 500mm in diameter and the retention of 110 potential breeding trees in Public Open Space. A total of 7.59ha of foraging habitat for Black Cockatoos will be cleared and 6.96ha retained.

Two Threatened Ecological Communities (TEC) occur on the site. Development will result in 100% retention of the TEC Corymbia calophylla - Kingia australis Woodlands on Heavy Soil (SCP3a) and increased protection as a future Conservation Area. Development will result in 3.64ha of Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain (SCP20c) being cleared and 4.56ha retained.

2.2 Alternatives to taking the proposed action

There are no alternatives to undertaking residential development on Lot 6 Talbot Road as the land is zoned Urban in the Perth Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS). However several development options have been explored by the Department of Housing.

A subdivision plan for the site was approved in May 2008 that showed complete development of Lot 2 Talbot Road (Attachment 2). The subdivision approval expired in May 2013 as the proposed development had not substantially commenced. Redesigning the subdivision the Department of Housing considered several options for the configuration of the development that retained various amount and locations of the native vegetation. Option C was tabled as being a viable option for the development which retained 4.73ha of vegetation on the site (Attachment 3).

After further consideration of the significance of the natural assets on the site the Department of Housing prepared Option D (Attachment 4) which retains 6.9606ha of native vegetation that is in the best condition on the site. This is the proposed development that is the subject of this referral.

2.3 Alternative locations, time frames or activities that form part of the referred action

There are no alternative locations, time frames or activities that form part of the referred action

2.4 Context, planning framework and state/local government requirements

The site was part of the Outline Development Plan (ODP) 26, Stratton which was adopted by the City of Swan on 1 October 1991 and endorsed by the Western Australian Planning Commission on 5 February 2002. Lot 6 Talbot Road is the final part of the ODP to be developed. The site had subdivision approval granted under the Planning and Development Act, 2005 in June 2008 which has since lapsed.

The proposed subdivision will be subject to assessment as per the Western Australian planning system.

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 8 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

2.5 Environmental impact assessments under Commonwealth, state or territory legislation

Development of the site has not been formally assessed by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) under either Section 38 (Subdivisions) or Section 48 (Scheme Amendments) of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act). The ODP was reviewed by Environmental Agencies including the EPA in 1989 and informal advice was given by the EPA. The project was referred again in 1991 to the EPA with no additional advice forthcoming (Attachment 5).

Under the Western Australian planning system a subdivision is referred to Government Agencies such as the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) Land Use Planning Branch, Department of Water (DoW) and in some cases the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).

Option C was presented to the Office of the EPA (OEPA) and the OEPA outlined a number of offset measures to be included with the proposal to develop the site (Attachment 6). These measures and an additional area of native vegetation to be protected have been included in the proposal that is the subject of this referral. The OEPA has indicated that a subdivision referred under Section 38 of the EP Act to the EPA is unlikely to require formal assessment if it is done in accordance with Option C and the presented offsets commitments.

2.6 Public consultation (including with Indigenous stakeholders)

The adoption of the ODP by the City of Swan and the WAPC includes advertising periods in which public consultation was undertaken.

The City of Swan has been consulted during the design process and approved the initial subdivision plan. The configuration of the western POS was modified to include an Aboriginal Site (which is not listed as a Site in the Aboriginal Heritage Sites Database) during the subdivision process in 2008.

2.7 A staged development or component of a larger project

The action is the final part of ODP26, Stratton yet to be developed.

3.1 (b) National Heritage Places

Description

The Protected Matters Search Tool Report (SEWPaC, 2013a; Attachment 7) listed the following as Indicative Places on the Register of National Estate (RNE) as being in the vicinity of (but not on) Lot 6 Talbot Road:

 Midgegooroo and Kalleep Munday Heritage Precincts;

 Hugo Throssell Memorial;

 Oakover Vineyards Garden and River Meadows;

 Swan Valley Landscape Conservation Area; and

 Swanleigh Grounds.

Indicative Places on the RNE are defined by SEWPaC as:

Data provided to or obtained by the Australian Heritage Council or the former Australian Heritage Commission was entered into the RNE database however a decision on whether the place should be entered in the RNE itself was not made before the RNE was closed in 2007 (SEWPaC, 2013c).

There were also seven sites that were registered on the RNE listed on the Protected Matters Search Tool Report, none of which are on the site:

 Talbot Road Natural Area (adjacent to the referral area);

 Greenmount National Park;

 John Forrest National Park;

 Blackboy Hill Commemorative Site;

 Katharines Place;

 Rainsworth Homestead and Mud Brick Cottage Remains; and

 St Marys Anglican Church and Graveyard.

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 10 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

SEWPaC applies the following to sites registered on the RNE:

The place was entered in the RNE prior to its closure in 2007. The existence of an entry for a place in the RNE does not in itself create a requirement to protect the place under Commonwealth law. Nevertheless, information in the register may continue to be current and may be relevant to statutory decisions about protection (SEWPaC, 2013b).

The Register of the National Estate was closed in 2007 and is no longer a statutory list and these sites have not been transferred to the National Heritage List or the Commonwealth Heritage List as recognised by the EPBC Act.

Therefore there are no National Heritage Places present or near the site.

Description

Threatened Species

The Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPaC, 2013a) online EPBC Act Protected Matters search tool (Attachment 7) identified 15 Threatened Species of birds, insects, mammals and plants as potentially occurring in the Referral Area.

Five terms for the likelihood of occurrence of species and communities are used and are defined as follows:

Known – the species was or has been observed on the site Likely – medium to high probability that a species uses the site Potential – suitable habitat for a species occurs on the site, but there is insufficient information to categorise the species as likely to occur, or unlikely to occur Unlikely – a very low to low probability that a species uses the site No – habitat on site and in the vicinity is unsuitable for the species.

Table 1 lists the species that were identified in the Protected Matters Search Tool report potentially are present on the site and their likelihood of being present on the site.

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 11 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Likelihood of Species Name Common Name EPBC Status Occurrence Birds Calyptorhynchus banksii naso Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo Vulnerable Known Calyptorhynchus baudinii Baudin’s Black Cockatoo Vulnerable Known Calyptorhynchus latirostris Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo Endangered Known

A Black Cockatoo Survey was undertaken by 360 Environmental (Attachment 8) and has identified all three species of Black Cockatoos foraging on the site. Feeding was predominately observed on Candlestick Banksia (Banksia attenuata), Firewood Banksia (Banksia menziesii), Marri (Corymbia calophylla), Parrot Bush (Banksia sessilis), and Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) (Attachment 8).

Pursuant to Section 18 and 18A of the EPBC Act Calyptorhynchus banksii naso (Forest Red-tailed Black- Cockatoo), Calyptorhynchus baudinii (Baudin’s Black Cockatoo) and Calyptorhynchus latirostris (Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo) could potentially be impacted by the proposed development.

The Referral area does not contain suitable habitat for the remaining threatened species listed on the Protected Matters Search Tool. The reasons for these conclusions are in Table 2.

Table 2: Threatened Species Identified Protected Matters Search Tool Report that Would Not be Present in the Referral Area

Reason species is not considered to be in the Species Name Common Name referral area Birds Malleefowl are largely confined to arid and semi-arid Leipoa ocellata Malleefowl woodland that is dominated by mallee eucalypts (DEC, 2013a) which are not present on the site. Australian Painted Snipe is a stocky wading bird that generally inhabits shallow terrestrial freshwater Australian Painted (occasionally brackish) wetlands, including Rostratula australis Snipe temporary and permanent lakes, swamps and claypans (SEWPaC, 2013c). There is no suitable habitat on the site. Insects The habitat critical to survival of important populations of the Shield-backed Trapdoor Spider consist of open York gum (Eucalyptus loxophleba), Salmon gum (E. salmonophloia) and wheat-belt Shield-backed Idiosoma nigrum Wandoo (E. capillosa) woodland and where Jam Trapdoor Spider (Acacia acuminata) forms a sparse understorey in heavy clay soils (Wheatbelt NRM, 2008). The habitat on the site does not match the preferred habitat for this species.

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 12 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Reason species is not considered to be in the Species Name Common Name referral area Mammals Chuditch, Western Quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii) is found in Jarrah forest and mixed Karri - Marri - Jarrah forest of south-west WA and creates dens in hollow logs or burrows and have also been recorded Chuditch, Western Dasyurus geoffroii in tree hollows and cavities (SEWPaC, 2013c). The Quoll Fauna Survey (ATA, 2006; Attachment 9) indicated that this species may be a vagrant visitor to the site but there were no records of individuals recently being in the vicinity. Plants This species grows in wetter areas and swamps Andersonia gracilis Slender Andersonia (DEC, 2013b) and there are no swamp areas on the site. Occurs in granite-derived soil in open-forest (DPaW, Anthocercis gracilis Slender Tailflower 2013b) The King Spider-orchid grows in well-drained, deep sandy soils in low mixed woodlands of Banksia, King (Grand) Western Sheoak and Jarrah with lush undergrowth Caladenia huegelii Spider Orchid (SEWPaC, 2013b). The soils on the site are not sandy therefore this species is highly unlikely to occur. Centrolepis This species grows in salt flats and wet areas

caespitosa (DPaW, 2013b) which are not present on the site. This species is found on dark, grey to blackish, sandy clay-loam substrates in winter wet Diuris micrantha Dwarf Bee Orchid depressions or swamps (DEWHA, 2008) which are not present on the site. This species prefers grey-black sand and grows in Purdie’s Donkey Diuris purdiei moist winter-wet swamps (DPaW, 2013b) therefore Orchid there is no suitable habitat on the site. This Hammer Orchid prefers low-lying situations Glossy-leaved adjoining winter-wet swamps and this species does Drakaea elastica Hammer Orchid not survive in disturbed areas (DPaW, 2013b) and the site has no swamps. The Dwarf Hammer-orchid is usually found on Dwarf Hammer- cleared firebreaks or open sandy patches that have Drakaea micrantha orchid been disturbed, where competition from other plants has been removed (SEWPaC, 2013b).

Threatened Ecological Communities

Two Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) listed under the EPBC Act have been identified and mapped on the site. There are:

 1.31ha of Corymbia calophylla - Kingia australis Woodlands on Heavy Soil (FCT3a); and

 9.09ha of Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain (FCT20c).

The mapping of these TECs was undertaken by DPaW in 2010 by the Threatened Species and

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 13 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Communities Unit (Attachment 10).

Corymbia calophylla - Kingia australis Woodlands on Heavy Soil is listed as Endangered. Ten occurrences of this community have been located between Waroona and Forrestfield and recorded on the Threatened Ecological Communities database occurrences of this community totalling 114.2ha with only nine occurrences in Conservation Estate (English and Blyth, 2000a).

Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain is described as SCP20c. Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain (SCP20c) is listed as Endangered under the EPBC Act. There are only two know occurrences of this community. One is located on private land in the old Bushmead Rifle Range and the other is the general location of Talbot Road and includes 40ha in Talbot Road Reserve, 11ha in Unallocated Crown Land (UCL), 17ha vested in the metropolitan Cemeteries Board and the 9.09ha in Lot 6 Talbot Road (English and Blyth, 2000b).

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 14 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Nature and extent of likely impact

Threatened Species: Black Cockatoos

Development of the Referral area will involve the following impact on Carnaby’s and Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoos:

 The clearing of 7.59ha of foraging habitat (consisting of 3.15ha Excellent quality, 3.53ha Very Good quality and 0.91ha Good quality) from vegetation made up of Marri, Jarrah and Banksia trees.

 The clearing of up to 155 individual potential breeding trees with a diameter greater than 500mm (Marri and Jarrah) from Good to Degraded vegetation.

 The retention of 6.9579ha of predominately foraging habitat (Banksia, Marri, Jarrah) within a Conservation Area and Public Open Space.

 The retention of 110 individual potential breeding trees with a diameter greater than 500mm (Marri and Jarrah) within Public Open Space.

The level of significance of the potential impact on Black Cockatoo species is assessed below using the EPBC Act Black Cockatoo Referral Guidelines for Three Threatened Black Cockatoo Species (Carnaby’s Cockatoo, Baudin’s Cockatoo and Forest Red-tail Black Cockatoo) (July 2011) which are referred below as the Black Cockatoo Referral Guidelines.

Foraging

Foraging by Black Cockatoos was observed on the site during a Black Cockatoo Survey undertaken by 360 Environmental in September 2010 (Attachment 8)

According to Table 3 in the Black Cockatoo Referral Guidelines the clearing of more than 1ha of quality foraging habitat has a high risk of causing a significant impact. Degradation of more than 1ha of habitat by such things as altered hydrology or fire regimes has an uncertain risk. The significance of degradation depends on the type of degradation and the quality of the habitat.

The Black Cockatoo Referral Guidelines do not specify what constitutes ‘quality’ foraging habitat apart from stating that it refers to the use of the habitat by Black Cockatoos rather than the overall quality of the vegetation which would normally be described using understorey as well as tree canopy.

The vegetation types on the site (Figure 3; Attachment 10) contains foraging habitat (DEC, 2011) and potential breeding habitat:

These vegetation types contain species that are considered to be foraging habitat for Black Cockatoos.

A foraging value has been assigned to the vegetation types in the referral. The foraging value was determined using the type of vegetation and its importance to Black Cockatoos for foraging, the condition of the vegetation and whether or not evidence for foraging had been observed. The decision matrix prepared by PGV Environmental is shown in Table 4.

Table 4: Foraging Value Matrix Foraging Vegetation Type Condition Foraging Value Observed High Resource Y Excellent VG-E eg. Banksia woodland N Very Good Marri Woodland Y Very Good G mixed Jarrah/Banksia N Good mixed Jarrah/Marri Y Good D-CD N Good Y Very Good VG-E Medium Resource N Good eg.

Mixed Tuart/Jarrah Woodland Y Good Tuart woodland G N Poor Flooded Gum woodland Y Good D-CD N Poor

Applying this matrix gives the results outlined in Table 5. The area of foraging habitat in the vegetation type “Tall shrubland of Jacksonia sternbergiana, Viminaria juncea and Hakea varia with scattered Corymbia calophylla” located in the north-west corner of the site has been calculated using the canopy cover of trees rather than land area due to the Degraded and largely cleared condition of this area.

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 16 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

The difference between the 16.4ha of vegetation mapped in Table 3 and the 14.5ha in Table 5 is due to the calculation in Table 5 excluding degraded areas. The foraging value in the Referral Area has been consolidated in Table 6.

Table 6: Foraging Value in the Referral Area Proposed to be Proposed to be Foraging Value Total Developed (ha) Retained (ha) Excellent 9.97 3.15 6.82 Very Good 3.67 3.53 0.14 Good 0.91 0.91 0 Poor 0 0 0 Total 14.5 7.6 7.1

The results of the foraging value assessment show there is Excellent or Good Foraging habitat on the site. 3.15ha of the foraging habitat to be cleared is rated as Excellent, 3.53ha as Very Good and 0.91ha as Good. The area of foraging habitat to be retained represents 68% of the existing Excellent foraging habitat, 3.8% of the Very Good and 100% of the Good foraging habitat on site (Figure 4).

In the context of the surrounding bushland that provides Black Cockatoo foraging habitat (determined from site descriptions in Bush Forever and knowledge of the National Parks and local bushland areas as shown in Figure 5) there is approximately 6000ha within 10km of the referral area of which approximately 1760ha are protected as Bush Forever sites and 3700ha are in National Parks (John

Breeding

According to Table 3 in the Black Cockatoo Referral Guidelines the clearing of any known nesting tree has a high risk of being a significant impact. Any known nesting tree is defined in the Guidelines as any existing tree in which breeding has been recorded or suspected. No known nesting trees for Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos occur on the site and the closest recorded is approximately 20km to the north-east in Gidgegannup, 29km to the east in Gorrie/The Lakes and 30km to the south in Roleystone (DoP, 2011) therefore there is no risk of a significant impact on a known nesting tree. The Black Cockatoo Survey did not find any evidence of breeding on the site (Attachment 8).

A potential nesting tree likely to be in the vicinity of Stratton includes Jarrah or Marri tree with a diameter greater than 500mm regardless of whether the tree has a hollow or not (SEWPaC, 2011). A Significant Tree Survey was undertaken by Coffey Environments in 2010 (Attachment 11) and all eucalypt trees were assessed to determine those with a trunk diameter greater than 500mm at breast height during the site survey. In addition, the Referral Area was searched for evidence of Black- Cockatoo foraging and past breeding activity.

The Referral Area contains 265 trees with a diameter at breast height 500mm or greater (Figure 6). These trees consist of predominantly Marris with some Jarrah trees (Table 8) (Coffey Environments, 2011).

Table 8: Significant Trees in the Referral Area Species Number of trees Marri (Corymbia calophylla) 239 Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) 18 Dead Standing 3 Other 5 Total 265

There are 14 trees that contained a hollow greater than 20cm that potentially provide a nesting site for Black-Cockatoos (Figure 6) and 5 trees that contained a hollow less than 20cm. No evidence of Black Cockatoos breeding in these hollows was observed (Attachment 8 and 9).

The subdivision design Option C (Attachment 3) originally retained 87 significant trees however the revised subdivision (Option D) incorporates more of the trees to retain a total of 110 trees (Table 9) (Figure 6).

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 18 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Table 9: Significant Trees to be Retained in the Referral Area

Trees over Trees with Trees with Type Total 500mm DBH Small Hollows Large Hollows Original Proposal 78 2 7 87 Revised Concept 101 2 7 110

The total impact on significant trees in the subdivision is outlined in Table 10.

The Black Cockatoo Survey and Significant Tree Survey did not record any evidence of breeding on the site (Attachment 8 and 10). The risk of a significant impact on Black Cockatoos breeding is therefore considered Low.

Roosting

The Black Cockatoo Referral Guidelines consider the clearing of a known roosting site as a high risk of being a significant impact. The Department of Planning Latitude/Longitude of important and known habitat sites for Carnaby’s Cockatoo (DoP, 2011) identifies a known roosting tree in the south of Referral area (Figure 5) although due to the broad scale of the mapping it is unclear if this is in the Talbot Road Reserve or in the referral area. Nonetheless the surrounding area is shown as vegetation to be retained. The Conservation Area will protect the roosting site, if it occurs on Lot 6 Talbot Road, and provide a vegetated buffer.

The risk of a significant impact on a known roosting site is considered to be Low as the mapped roosting site is in the area of vegetation to be retained.

Threatened Ecological Communities: SCP3a and SCP20c

The development of the site in accordance with the proposed subdivision will also impact on one Threatened Ecological Community listed under the EPBC Act (SCP20c) and preserve and better protect another (SCP3a).

Corymbia calophylla - Kingia australis Woodlands on Heavy Soil (SCP3a) is Endangered under the EPBC Act. The original proposals for the site resulted largely in the clearing of this TEC. The refined proposal retains all of the mapped extent of this TEC which will be incorporated into the Talbot Road Bushland to be protected and managed by DPaW in perpetuity.

A total of 6.2ha of Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain (SCP20c) occurs on the site of which 3.6014ha will be retained in the Conservation Area to be incorporated into the Talbot Road Bushland to be protected and managed by DPaW in perpetuity and a further 0.9576ha will be retained in POS. A total of 3.641ha will be cleared.

There will be no impact on the retained TECs from groundwater or surface water impacts as groundwater flows from the vegetated area to the proposed subdivision and surface water also flows

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 19 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

from the proposed retained vegetation to the subdivision. All stormwater will be managed on the developed area in accordance with Better Urban Water Management using Water Sensitive Urban Design (WAPC, 2008).

3.1 (e) Listed migratory species

Description

The SEWPaC Protected Matters Search Tool listed seven Migratory Species (Attachment 7) as potentially occurring in the Referral Area. These are listed in Table 11. The likelihood of each species being present and/or utilising the site was determined. The results are outlined in Table 11.

Table 11: Migratory Species in the Protected Matters Search Tool Reports as being Possibly Present on the Site.

Likelihood of being present or Species Name Common Name EPBC Status utilising the site Migratory Marine Birds Apus pacificus Fork-tailed Swift No Pandion haliaetus Osprey No Migratory Terrestrial Species Haliaeetus White-Bellied Sea- Unlikely

3.3 Other important features of the environment

3.3 (a) Flora and fauna

The flora on the site was surveyed in March 2006 which recorded a total of 79 plant species which comprised of 66 native and 13 introduced species (ATA Environmental, 2006). The full results of the survey are reported in the Environmental Impact Assessment Lot 6 Talbot Road, Stratton (Attachment 9). As the survey was undertaken outside of spring it is expected that the diversity present on the site is higher than recorded.

No Declared Rare Flora or Flora listed under the EPBC Act were recorded on the site.

A Level 1 Fauna Survey undertaken for the Environmental Impact Assessment identified two habitats on the site (Attachment 9). These were:

 Banksia menziesii and Banksia attenuata woodland with occasional Eucalyptus marginata; and

 Corymbia calophylla woodland over shrubland of Kingia australis and Xanthorrhoea preissii.

The habitat on the site has high faunal conservation value containing habitat of specially protected and listed species and is part of a regionally significant linkage providing a corridor for movement of fauna as well as a refuge for fauna species. Five species of conservation significant fauna (three of which are listed under the EPBC Act) are considered likely to be found within Lot 6 Talbot Road including Carnaby’s cockatoo, Baudin’s cockatoo, Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo, Carpet Python and Quenda.

3.3 (b) Hydrology, including water flows

The groundwater under the site is approximately 18mAHD (12m below ground level (BGL)) and flows to the west (DoW, 2013).

3.3 (c) Soil and Vegetation characteristics

The site is in the Yonganup Formation which occurs at the foot of the Darling Scarp. The geology of the site is Granitoid rock; monzogranite dominant (Landgate, 2013). The soils on the site are mapped as Forrestfield System (213Fo). These are described as occurring on the undulating foot slopes of the Darling and Whicher Scarps. The soils are duplex sandy gravels, pale deep sands and grey deep sandy duplexes from colluvium over granitic and sedimentary rocks (DAFWA, 2013).

Acid Sulphate Soil (ASS) Risk mapping of the Swan Coastal Plain indicates that the site has a Low risk of ASS (<3m from the surface) (Landgate, 2013).

The site does not have any symptoms of being infected with Jarrah Dieback (Phytophthora cinnamomi). Hygiene and management protocols for Dieback will be undertaken during construction in the surrounding area to protect the retained vegetation.

Lot 6 Talbot Road contains two vegetation complexes, the Forrestfield Complex and Guildford Complex (Heddle et al., 1980). Both of these are very poorly retained (approximately 9% of the original extent of the Forrestfield Complex and 6% of the Guildford Complex remaining in the Perth Metropolitan Area (Government of WA, 2000)). As outlined in Section 3.1(d) the vegetation is described as consisting of:

 SCP3a Corymbia calophylla - Kingia australis Woodlands on Heavy Soil;

 SCP20c Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain;

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 23 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

 SCP20b Banksia attenuata and/or Eucalyptus marginata woodlands of the eastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain;

 TSJsVjHv Tall shrubland of Jacksonia sternbergiana, Viminaria juncea and Hakea varia with scattered Corymbia calophylla.

3.3 (d) Outstanding natural features

There are no outstanding natural features on the site.

3.3 (e) Remnant native vegetation

As described in Section 3.1(d) the vegetation is representative of TECs and is largely in Very Good to Excellent condition over the site.

3.3 (f) Gradient (or depth range if action is to be taken in a marine area)

The site is gently sloping from 40mAHD in the south down to 25mAHD in the north east (Figure 2).

3.3 (g) Current state of the environment

The vegetation was rated according to the system devised by Keighery (1994) and described in Bush Forever (Government of Western Australia, 2000) as shown in Table 12 by ATA Environmental (Attachment 9).

Table 12: Vegetation Condition Rating Scale

Condition Description Pristine Pristine or nearly so, no obvious signs of disturbance. Excellent Vegetation structure intact, disturbance affecting individual species and weeds are non-aggressive species. Very Good Vegetation structure altered, obvious signs of disturbance. For example, disturbance to vegetation structure caused by repeated fires, the presence of some more aggressive weeds, dieback, logging and grazing. Good Vegetation structure significantly altered by very obvious signs of multiple disturbance. Retains basic vegetation structure or ability to regenerate it. For example, disturbance to vegetation structure caused by very frequent fires, the presence of some very aggressive weeds at high density, partial clearing, dieback and grazing. Degraded Basic vegetation structure severely impacted by disturbance. Scope for regeneration but not to a state approaching good condition without intensive management. For example, disturbance to vegetation structure caused by very frequent fires, the presence of very aggressive weeds, partial clearing, dieback and grazing. Completely The structure of the vegetation is no longer intact and the area is completely Degraded or almost completely without native species. These are often described as ‘parkland cleared’ with the flora comprising weed or crop species with isolated native trees or shrubs. Source: Government of Western Australia, 2000.

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 24 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

The majority of the site was rated as being in Excellent to Very Good, mainly in the south west of the site. In the central area the vegetation was rated as Good or Very Good to Good. The north- western part of the site was rated as Degraded to Completely Degraded (Attachment 9).

The vegetation in the best condition in the south east of the site has a large infestation of Watsonia (Watsonia meriana var. bulbillifera).

3.3 (h) Commonwealth Heritage Places or other places recognised as having heritage values

A search of the Australian Heritage Database (SEWPaC, 2013c) does not show any registered places located on or in the close vicinity of the site.

3.3 (i) Indigenous heritage values

Lot 6 Talbot Road is within the Jane Brook and Bullfrog Dreaming areas. There are no other registered sites on Lot 6 Talbot Road according to the Department of Indigenous Affairs Aboriginal Heritage Enquiry System (DIA, 2013; Attachment 12) however a site identified during the planning process will be protected by being incorporated into the western POS.

3.3 (j) Other important or unique values of the environment

There are no key features of the environment affected by, or in proximity to the proposed action that are of national significance.

3.3 (k) Tenure of the action area (eg freehold, leasehold)

The Referral area is held in freehold title.

3.3 (l) Existing land/marine uses of area

The land is currently almost completely vegetated and is not utilised

3.3 (m) Any proposed land/marine uses of area

The proposed land use is infill development as an Urban Residential Area.

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 25 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

4 Measures to avoid or reduce impacts

The Matters of National Environmental Significance that are the subject of this referral are Black Cockatoos and TECs Corymbia calophylla - Kingia australis Woodlands on Heavy Soil and Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain. The following information outlines the approach to managing the impacts of the proposed subdivision and subsequent residential development on Black Cockatoos and two TECs as it relates to the Referral area. In particular, it details the preferred hierarchy of avoidance, on-site mitigation and local off-site mitigation that are proposed.

Avoidance and Onsite Mitigation

The Subdivision includes a 0.9576ha POS on the western side that will retain all of the native vegetation in the area. The vegetation is also considered to be Excellent to the east and Good to the west foraging habitat for Black Cockatoos. The POS will retain 43 trees that have a DBH greater than 500mm. These trees are considered potential breeding habitat for Black Cockatoos. The vegetation in this POS is described as the TEC SCP20c Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain (Figure 3).

The proposed subdivision for Lot 6 Talbot Road includes a Conservation Area of 6.003ha in the south-east of the site that will be retained in its natural state and ceded to DPaW to be incorporated into the Talbot Road Bushland Reserve within three years from the commencement of the action.

The 6.003ha Conservation Area will protect 67 trees that have a DBH greater than 500mm and are considered potential breeding habitat. The Conservation Area is vegetated by foraging habitat for Black Cockatoos and also protects a known roosting location by ensuring that it is retained and provides a buffer around it.

The configuration of the Conservation Area now avoids impacts on SCP3a Corymbia calophylla - Kingia australis Woodlands on Heavy Soil. All of this TEC present on the site, as mapped by DPaW, has been incorporated into the Conservation Area and will increase the amount of this TEC that is protected in Conservation Reserves when added to the Talbot Road Reserve.

The proposed Conservation Area also protects 3.6014ha of SCP20c Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain which will increase the amount of this TEC in Conservation Reserves that are protected in perpetuity.

The Talbot Road Bushland Reserve, into which this Conservation Area is proposed to be incorporated, is actively managed by DPaW and the weeding programs undertaken in the reserve in that last ten years have significantly improved the condition of the vegetation. The Department of Housing will make arrangements to undertake weed control in the area to be added to the reserve to improve the conservation values of the site, particularly in the area that has Watsonia meriana var. bulbillifera in some density in the south-eastern corner of the site. This will be undertaken in accordance with a Conservation Area Management Plan that will be prepared by the Department of Housing. This management plan will outline weed control, rehabilitation if any, interface management and funding and plans for the ceding of the site to DPaW. The Conservation Area Management Plan will be prepared in consultation with DPaW and be prepared prior to the commencement of the action.

Initial discussions with DPaW (then DEC) have resulted in an in principle agreement to taking on the additional area.

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 26 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Off-site [Local] Mitigation Strategies

Two parcels of land occur to the south of the Talbot Road Reserve that contain Black Cockatoo Habitat and SCP20c Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain (Figure 7). The parcels are currently unmanaged with the following tenure:

 Unallocated Crown Land (UCL) Lot 11314 on Deposited Plan 217552 which is 9.3ha; and

 Midland Cemeteries Board (MCB) which is 8.6ha

The Unallocated Crown Land is currently zoned as Parks and Recreation Reserve under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS). The Midland Cemeteries Board land is zoned as Urban under the MRS. Both sites are covered by the Bush Forever overlay on the MRS.

The Department of Housing has negotiated the transfer of these areas to be vested in DPaW for incorporation to the Talbot Road Reserve as a part of the approval to develop Lot 6 Talbot Road. This will protect in perpetuity an additional 17.9ha of Black Cockatoo Habitat and SCP20c Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain.

The Conservation Area Management Plan to be prepared by the Department of Housing as outlined above will also apply to these additional areas. The management for these areas will include weed control, rehabilitation, interface management and funding and plans for the ceding of the site to DPaW. The transfer of land will be completed within two years of the commencement of the action.

An assessment of the UCL and MCB land parcels by the Department of Housing indicated the vegetation is mostly in Very Good condition. However the western and eastern margins of the sites adjoining residential areas, as well as the banks of Blackadder Creek which runs through the UCL, require weed management to avoid the spread of weeds into the better quality bushland areas. Both parcels of land are not actively managed for vegetation protection.

The arrangements for the transfer of the UCL and MCB lands are being progressed by the Department of Planning in its role of implementing Bush Forever. In-principle agreement has been reached between the relevant agencies regarding the transfer of the land to enable management for conservation purposes.

No, complete section 5.2

X Yes, complete section 5.3

5.2 Proposed action IS NOT a controlled action.

Not Applicable

5.3 Proposed action IS a controlled action

Matters likely to be impacted World Heritage values (sections 12 and 15A) National Heritage places (sections 15B and 15C) Wetlands of international importance (sections 16 and 17B) X Listed threatened species and communities (sections 18 and 18A) Listed migratory species (sections 20 and 20A) Protection of the environment from nuclear actions (sections 21 and 22A) Commonwealth marine environment (sections 23 and 24A) Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (sections 24B and 24C) A water resource, in relation to coal seam gas development and large coal mining development (sections 24D and 24E) Protection of the environment from actions involving Commonwealth land (sections 26 and 27A) Protection of the environment from Commonwealth actions (section 28) Commonwealth Heritage places overseas (sections 27B and 27C)

The matters of National Environmental Significance impacted by this proposal are Black Cockatoos and SCP20c Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain. The proposed subdivision will result in:

 The clearing of 7.59ha of Black Cockatoo Foraging Habitat (3.15ha of Excellent, 3.53ha of Very Good and 0.91ha of Good Foraging Habitat);

 The clearing of 155 potential Breeding Habitat for Black Cockatoos; and

 The clearing of 3.641ha of the Endangered community SCP20c Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain.

This is considered likely to be a significant impact under the Significant Impact Guidelines 1.1 (SEWPaC, 2011).

001 Referral of proposed action v June 13 Page 28 of 36 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

These impacts have been mitigated with a significant portion of the vegetation on the site being retained and 6.003ha being placed into Conservation Reverses to be protected in perpetuity. The Conservation Reserve will protect Black Cockatoo Habitat and area of TEC SCP20c Shrublands and Woodlands of the eastern Swan Coastal Plain.

Offsets have also been proposed with the incorporation of 17.9ha of unreserved Black Cockatoo habitat and TEC SCP20c vegetation into the Talbot Road Bushland together with funding to assist in the management of the A Class Reserve.

Attention: Mr Richard Elliot, A/Director, Land and Housing Development

Dear Sir/Madam

LOT 6 TALBOT ROAD, STRATTON

I refer to your letter dated 16 February 2012 and the meeting on 5 April 2012 attended by yourself and representatives from the Office of the Environmental Protection Authority (OEPA) and the Department of Planning regarding the proposed subdivision of Lot 6 Talbot Road, Stratton.

At the meeting, it was agreed that the Department of Housing (DoH) will prepare a package of measures for consideration by the OEPA prior to the subdivision application being referred to the Environmental Protection Authority pursuant to section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986). The package of measures negotiated by Department of Planning may include, but not be limited to:

• Redesign of the subdivision to provide public open space in the southern portion of Lot 6 as transition to the Talbot Road Nature Reserve.

• Provision of part of the Midland cemetery site currently zoned Public Purposes for inclusion in the Talbot Road Nature Reserve.

• Preparation of a Fire Management Plan for the bushland in the vicinity of Lot 6 to protect its conservation values.

• Contributing to the rehabilitation of the bushland in the vicinity of Lot 6.

• DoH to discuss the proposed revisions to the Lot 6 Outline Development Plan with the City of Swan. Further to your letter dated 16 February 2012 and the meeting on 5 April 2012, I also wish to reiterate that the OEPA is not able to advise what view the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities might have in relation the proposed redesign and offsets package listed above.

Yours faithfully

MANAGER

Caveat The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report. This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World Heritage and Register of National Estate properties, Wetlands of International Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions.

Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.

For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plans and detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicated under 'type of presence'. For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collated from government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimatic distribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps are based solely on expert knowledge.

Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped: - migratory and - marine The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database: - threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants - some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed - some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area - migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species: - non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites - seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

1 Introduction

1.1 Background The Department of Housing is proposing to develop Lot 6 Talbot Road, Stratton and required a desktop survey and field assessment of the site to identify habitat values for Black Cockatoos. 360 Environmental Pty Ltd (360 Environmental) was commissioned to conduct an Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act) database search of the area, and undertake a site assessment to verify if Black Cockatoo habitat was present on the lot in September 2010. The Black Cockatoo species targeted during the investigation included the following: Carnaby’s Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus latirostris) Baudin’s Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus baudinii) Forest Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii naso).

1.1.1 Target Species: Carnaby’s Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus latirostris)

Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo is a large, black cockatoo with a white patch on the cheek, white bands on the tail and a strong curved bill. In males, the bill is black and the eye-ring dark-pink. Females have a light grey bill, grey eye-ring, and the cheek patch is less distinctive. Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia, extending from the Murchison River to Esperance, and inland to Coorow, Kellerberrin and Lake Cronin (DEC 2009b). There is evidence the species is currently expanding its breeding range westward and south into the Jarrah-Marri forests of the Darling Range and into the Tuart forests of the Swan Coastal Plain (Johnstone & Kirkby 2006). Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo are believed to breed mostly in the wheat-belt region of Western Australia (DEC 2009b). After breeding, the cockatoos disperse to the higher rainfall coastal areas of the south-west of Western Australia to feed in late December to July (DEC 2009b). Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo display strong pair bonds. They occur in uncleared or remnant areas of Eucalypt woodland, principally Salmon gum (Eucalyptus salmonophloia) or Wandoo (E. wandoo), and shrub-land or kwongan heath dominated by Hakea and Banksia species. The species typically nests in the hollows of live or dead smooth-barked Eucalypts (Salmon Gum and Wandoo) but also in Red Morrell (E. longicornis), York Gum (E. loxophlebaI), Marri (Corymbia calophylla) and Tuart (E. gomphocephala) (Johnstone and Storr 1998). On the Swan Coastal Plain, the birds feed on a large variety of plants including Proteaceae (Banksia and Grevillea), Marri nuts and introduced species – notably pines (DEC 2009b). At the time of reporting, Carnaby's Black Cockatoo is classified as Endangered under the EPBC Act, and listed as a Schedule 1 species that is

360 Environmental Pty Ltd 1

EBS046-AB Black Cockatoo Survey Lot 6, Talbot Road, Stratton Department of Housing

“Rare or likely to become extinct” under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WC Act).

1.1.2 Target Species: Baudin’s Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus baudinii)

Baudin's Cockatoo is a large, black cockatoo 53 - 60 cm in length, with white cheek patches and white on the tail feathers. Although similar in appearance to Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo, Baudin’s has a longer, finer upper bill (Johnstone & Storr, 1998). Baudin’s Black Cockatoo occurs in the high rainfall forests of the south-west of Western Australia. It nests in the hollows of mature Marri, Karri (Eucalyptus diversicolour) and Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) in the lower south-west. This black cockatoo mainly feeds on the seeds and flowers of Marri in the forested regions of the south-west, the seeds of the Proteaceous (Banksia grandis, B. littoralis, B. ilicifolia, Hakea undulata, H. prostrata, H. trifurcata, and Dryandra spp.), as well as Erodium botrys, Jarrah and insect larvae (DEWHA, 2009b). The species has also been observed feeding on apple and pear seeds in orchards. At the time of reporting, Baudin's Black Cockatoo is classified as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act and listed as a Schedule 1 species that is “Rare or likely to become extinct” under the WC Act.

1.1.3 Target Species: Forest Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii naso)

The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo is a large, black cockatoo with central tail feathers glossy black, lateral feathers glossy black with a broad central band of bright orange-red confined on the outermost feather to the inner web (Johnstone and Storr 1998). The Red-tailed Black Cockatoo is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia, frequenting the humid and subhumid south-west, mainly in the hilly interior, north to Gingin and east to Mt Helena, Christmas Tree Well, North Bannister, Mt Saddleback, Rocky Gully and the upper King River (Johnstone and Storr 1998). The Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo is now largely dependent on publicly-owned forests, particularly State Forest. This species is essentially the cockatoo of the Jarrah forests; it eats seeds extracted from the woody fruits of Eucalypts, mostly Jarrah and Marri. Other species on which feeding has been recorded are Yarri/ Blackbutt (E. patens), Albany Blackbutt (E. staeri), Karri, Sheoak (Allocasuarina fraseriana), Persoonia longifolia and B. grandis (DEC 2009a). In terms of breeding and nesting habits, the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo has been recorded nesting in Jarrah, Marri, Karri and Wandoo trees (Johnstone & Kirkby 1999). It requires hollows in standing trees to provide nesting sites. At the time of reporting, the Forest Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo is classified as Vulnerable under the EPBC Act and listed as a Schedule 1 species that is “Rare or likely to become extinct” under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WC Act).

1.2 Objectives The objectives of the present investigation were to: Conduct an EPBC desktop survey of Lot 6, Talbot Road, Stratton. Conduct a field assessment throughout the lot (16.48 ha). Determine if Black Cockatoo breeding or feeding habitat exists within the lot boundaries. Prepare a report of the findings.

1.3 Scope of Work In order to meet the objectives for the current investigation, the following scope of work was undertaken: A desktop EPBC search of Lot 6 Talbot Road was conducted to determine the likelihood of breeding or feeding presence for all three targeted Black Cockatoo species within the area. This search was conducted for both the immediate lot and across a 20 km radius buffer zone around the site area to provide regional context. A targeted Black Cockatoo site assessment by a qualified biologist to identify and confirm the presence/absence of Black Cockatoo habitat on Lot 6. Identification, confirmation and mapping of feeding trees, hollows and other potential habitat/roosting locations using GPS.

1.4 Report Format This report is comprised of the following components: Section 2 – EPBC Desktop Search and Results Section 3 – Site Survey and Results Section 4 – Discussion and Recommendations Section 5 – Limitations Section 6 – References

2 EPBC Desktop Search

2.1 Desktop Search Methodology The potential for Lot 6 to support Black Cockatoo habitat area was examined using the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) EPBC reporting tool. Two separate reports were generated, focusing on the species and communities potentially existing within: the confines of Lot 6 itself Lot 6 including a 20 km radius buffer zone to provide local context.

2.2 Desktop Survey Results Both reports yielded similar results, with all three Black Cockatoo species being indicated as potentially present in both reports. The site-specific report for Lot 6 indicated that two Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) were located within close proximity to the site, this increased to five TECs in the 20 km buffer. For the target species, the report indicated that breeding was likely to occur for Carnaby’s Cockatoo, and that both Baudin’s and Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos were likely to occur within the site area and have potential viable habitat for feeding and/ or roosting. It was also reported that viable habitat may be present for the Forest Red- Tailed Black Cockatoo.

3 Site Assessment Survey

3.1 Survey Methodology The field survey at the site was undertaken by a Tony Kirkby on 20 and 22 September 2010. There were two components of the survey: Individual trees were investigated for their potential to be utilised by Black Cockatoo species for nesting/ breeding. Species of flora present at the site that are known to be utilised by Black Cockatoo species for feeding were investigated to assess the level of feeding undertaken at the site. The site was traversed on foot assessing each tree individually while looking for evidence of feeding as well as flora species known to be included in the diet of Black Cockatoo species. Evidence of foraging can be distinguished between species by the type of feeding pattern observed on nuts and other food types. Each species leaves a different pattern of entry and chew marks. Markings observed around tree hollows also allow differentiation between species for nesting site use. In some cases, differentiation between Baudin’s and Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos cannot be made based on foraging debris alone. As both species have the same conservation rating under the EPBC Act and WC Act this is not considered to be a limitation to the current assessment.

3.2 Survey Results The observed results of the field investigation indicated that the site is utilised extensively by all three species of Black Cockatoo for feeding activity. 187 observations of feeding debris were recorded across the site (Figure 2). No direct evidence of nesting or potential breeding activity was noted during the field survey, although territorial calling and sightings of cockatoos was evident on Lot 6. A summary of the results includes the following: Extensive evidence of feeding on seeds, nectar and grubs was noted by all three Cockatoo species (Table 1). Feeding was observed on several native tree species including Banksia attenuata, Banksia menziesii, Marri (Corymbia callophylla), Dryandra sessilis, and Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) (Figure 2). Evidence of feeding was predominantly observed for both White-tailed Black Cockatoo species and to a lesser extent Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoos. Feeding was observed relatively uniformly across much of the site (Figure 2).

360 Environmental Pty Ltd 5

EBS046-AB Black Cockatoo Survey Lot 6, Talbot Road, Stratton Department of Housing

Both recent and old/historical evidence of feeding and foraging was observed extensively across the site. No direct evidence of breeding or nesting was observed for any of the three Black Cockatoo species. Table 1 details all observations and recorded data from the field survey work. Figure 2 highlights the locations of feeding activity and descriptions of the type of tree species utilised for feeding activity at each location. Based on the evidence of feeding recorded during the survey and the occurrence of suitable feeding locations throughout the site, it appears that all three species of Black Cockatoo use the site lot for significant feeding and foraging activity.

EBS046-AB Black Cockatoo Survey Lot 6, Talbot Road, Stratton Department of Housing

4 Discussion The desktop survey and field research recordings for Lot 6, Talbot Road, Stratton, indicate that there is no direct evidence of breeding or nesting for any of the three threatened species of Black Cockatoo. However, there is considerable evidence to suggest that the site supports extensive feeding and foraging activity from a number of different native tree species for several food types (Figure 2). Given that both Banksia and Marri species are the dominant forms of vegetation across the site, it is likely that Lot 6 may be considered significant local and regional habitat for all three Black Cockatoo species. These results will help inform the Department of Housing in assessing suitable future options for the site. To progress development of the site, impacts to all three species of Black Cockatoos will need to be considered further.

Threatened Species: 9 Migratory Species: 7

Other Matters Protected by the EPBC Act This part of the report summarises other matters protected under the Act that may relate to the area you nominated. Approval may be required for a proposed activity that significantly affects the environment on Commonwealth land, when the action is outside the Commonwealth land, or the environment anywhere when the action is taken on Commonwealth land. Approval may also be required for the Commonwealth or Commonwealth agencies proposing to take an action that is likely to have a significant impact on the environment anywhere.

The EPBC Act protects the environment on Commonwealth land, the environment from the actions taken on Commonwealth land, and the environment from actions taken by Commonwealth agencies. As heritage values of a place are part of the 'environment', these aspects of the EPBC Act protect the Commonwealth Heritage values of a Commonwealth Heritage place and the heritage values of a place on the Register of the National Estate. Information on the new heritage laws can be found at http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage/index.html.

Please note that the current dataset on Commonwealth land is not complete. Further information on Commonwealth land would need to be obtained from relevant sources including Commonwealth agencies, local agencies, and land tenure maps.

A permit may be required for activities in or on a Commonwealth area that may affect a member of a listed threatened species or ecological community, a member of a listed migratory species, whales and other cetaceans, or a member of a listed marine species. Information on EPBC Act permit requirements and application forms can be found at http://www.environment.gov.au/epbc/permits/index.html.

Caveat The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report.

This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World Heritage and Register of National Estate properties, Wetlands of International Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions.

Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.

For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plans and detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicated under "type of presence". For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collated from government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimatic distribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps are based solely on expert knowledge.

Only selected species covered by the migratory and marine provisions of the Act have been mapped.

The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database:

• threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants • some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed • some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area • migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers.

The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:

• non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites; • seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent.

Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

Caveat The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report.

This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World Heritage and Register of National Estate properties, Wetlands of International Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions.

Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.

For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.

For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plans and detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicated under "type of presence". For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collated from government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimatic distribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps are based solely on expert knowledge.

Only selected species covered by the migratory and marine provisions of the Act have been mapped.

The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database:

• threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants • some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed • some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area • migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers.

The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:

• non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites; • seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent.

Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

Department of Housing 99 Plain Street EAST PERTH WA 6004

Attention: Tom O'Leary

Dear Tom

RE: Significant Tree Survey Results - Lot 6 Talbot Road, Stratton

The purpose of this letter is to provide the Department of Housing with the results from the recently conducted Significant Tree Survey on Lot 6 Talbot Road, Stratton.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background Coffey Environments was commissioned by the Department to conduct a significant tree assessment to determine which trees contain hollows or are likely to develop hollows in the next 50 years. Trees that are likely to develop hollows in the next 50 years may provide potential future nesting habitat for Black- Cockatoo species (Carnaby's Black-Cockatoo, Baudin's Black-Cockatoo and Forest Red-tailed Black- Cockatoo). Lot 6 Talbot Road, Stratton (termed the ‘site’) is approximately 18 ha in size (Figure 1) and is predominantly vegetated by Marri (Corymbia calophylla) and Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) woodland.

1.2 Methodology Dr Paul Mitrovski and Susan Campbell undertook a significant tree survey on 4 to 5 November 2010. The significant tree survey included: • An intensive search of the site mapping all habitat trees; • Identifying and recording all large trees with hollows;

ENAUPERT02369AA_Tree Survey_001_pm.docx • Assessing the potential of each tree to develop hollows in the next 50 years1; and • Looking for evidence of feeding from Black-Cockatoo species.

1.3 Vegetation The vegetation of Lot 6 Talbot Road, Stratton was reported in ATA Environmental (2006). Four broad scale vegetation types occur on the site as follows: • Low Open Woodland habitat containing Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata); • Low Closed Forest habitat dominated by Marri (Corymbia calophylla); • Low Closed Forest habitat dominated by Banksia; and • Tall Shrubland habitat. The majority of the site is Low Closed Forest habitat dominated by Marri (Figure 1). The Low Open Woodland habitat and Low Closed Forest habitat dominated by Banksia are located in the southern and south-eastern section of the site (Figure 1), while the Tall Shrubland habitat is found in the north- western area of the site (Figure 1). The condition of the vegetation ranges from Degraded to Excellent. Much of the site is considered to be in a very good condition, although, some areas are cleared of vegetation, with weed intrusion along tracks.

1.4 Significant Tree Survey Results Hollows were recorded in 19 trees (Figure 1; Table 1), 13 of which contained a single hollow and six with two or more hollows. Of these 19 trees with hollows, five were considered to be too small for Black- Cockatoos to breed in (i.e. less than 20cm diameter) (Table 1). However, 14 trees contained hollows that were sufficiently large for Black-Cockatoos to breed in (greater than 20cm diameter) and of the 14 trees, three contained vertical or diagonal openings. Black Cockatoos are large birds and generally favour hollows that are greater than 20-25cm in diameter, preferably with a near vertical entry. Despite the presence of sufficiently large hollows, no evidence of breeding Black-Cockatoos was recorded (i.e. scratching around hollows, feathers). However, a search of the site found evidence of feeding (i.e. chewed Marri nuts) which is consistent with the findings of the Black Cockatoo survey undertaken by 360 Environmental (2010).

Tree Hollow Size (cm) Hollow Number per Tree Total Less than 20 Greater than 20* 1 4 9 (2) 13 Multiple 1 5 (1) 6 Total 5 14 (3) 19

*Numbers in brackets show tree hollows considered to be good quality In response to recent feedback from the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (formerly DEWHA, 2009 pers. comm.) regarding Black-Cockatoo nesting hollows,

Trees with a trunk diameter of more than 500mm at breast height are defined by the Commonwealth as trees with the potential to develop hollows in the next 50 years.

Map coordinates (Lat/Long) and (Easting/Northing) are based on the GDA 94 datum. The Easting/Northing map grid can be across one or more zones. The zone is indicated for each Easting on the map, i.e. '5000000:Z50' means Easting=5000000, Zone=50.
