Assessment of Vegetation Condition - Mulloon Creek Catchment and Mulloon Community Landscape Rehydration Project 2018 Baseline Assessment
Assessment of vegetation condition - Mulloon Creek Catchment and Mulloon Community Landscape Rehydration Project 2018 Baseline Assessment Richard Thackway VAST Transformations Report prepared for The Mulloon Institute Version 2 5 April 2019 1 How to cite this report: Thackway, R. Assessment of vegetation condition - Mulloon Creek Catchment and Mulloon Community Landscape Rehydration Project, 2018 Baseline Assessment. Report prepared for The Mulloon Institute, 5 April 2019, version 2. VAST Transformations, Canberra. i Executive Summary This report presents the findings of an assessment of vegetation condition conducted within the spatial extents of the Mulloon Community Landscape Rehydration Project (MCLRP) and the broader Mulloon Creek Catchment (MCC). The Mulloon Creek and its adjacent floodplains provides the focus for much of the community action and land manager engagement in the MCLRP. Generally, the MCLRP includes that part of the Catchment which is bounded by Home Farm in the south and the Sandhills watershed in the north west and Palerang in the northeast. This reach of the Catchment is a mosaic of native and non-native vegetation cover types associated with soil-landscapes which have a long history of management for the production of pastures generally used for sheep and cattle grazing. This baseline assessment is based on selected interviews and field surveys (formal and informal) (Figure 1) and analysis and interpretation of aerial photographs. The installation of leaky weirs to hydrate and rehydrate soil-landscapes is a land management practice or intervention, the effects of which can be reported and monitored using states (map units) and transitions (causal factors i.e. the drivers of changes between states). -
Palerang Final Report 2015
Final Report 2015 Palerang LGA 540 Date: 17 November 2015 FINAL REPORT PALERANG LGA 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OVERVIEW Palerang Local Government Area The Palerang Local Government area adjoins the Australian Capital Territory as well as seven NSW LGA’s comprising Yass Valley, and Queanbeyan City to the West, Eurobodulla Shire to the East, Shoalhaven to the Northeast, Goulburn-Mulwaree and Upper Lachlan to the North and Cooma-Monaro to the South. Morton, Budawang, Monga and Deua National Parks are located in the eastern portion, separating Palerang from the South Coast. Tallaganda State Forest and National Park is located South of Bungendore. The LGA covers an area of 5143 square km, and has a population of 14,835 ( 2011 census ). The topography is variable with valleys of flat to undulating arable lands running north/south alternating with steeper grazing slopes and bush covered hills. Palerang is predominantly a rural district as well as accommodating Canberra based workers. Farming is an important sector within the District although small holdings and hobby farms dominate in terms of numbers. Rural subdivision has resulted in many of the larger farm holdings being reduced in size. Productive farms make up a small fraction of the total property sales occurring. Palerang is a popular district with easy access to Canberra and Queanbeyan and to a lesser extent Goulburn, Sydney and the NSW South Coast. Batemans Bay is accessible via the Kings Highway, while Shoalhaven can be accessed via Nerriga Road. Land development within the district in the past has followed the traditional pattern of subdivision of farmland into rural/residential blocks and hobby farms with rural- residential subdivisions near Queanbeyan and the ACT. -
