Willochra Creek Catchment Action Plan Willochra Creek Catchment Action Plan Introduction The Willochra Creek Catchment Action Plan (CAP) draws together information and feedback from a wide range of community members and summarises the most important features of the catchment and the issues that we face in managing them. This summary will be used to inform the strategic direction of Natural Resources Management (NRM) in the catchment and align with other planning and natural resource management actions occurring across the Northern and Yorke region. In the decade since the previous report, there has been a substantial shift in community knowledge, expectations and attitudes towards environmental and natural resources management issues. Natural Resources Northern and Yorke has worked with the community, natural resource management experts, scientists, government agencies, local government and non-government organisations to develop this plan and capture these changing attitudes. This collaboration has helped to ensure that the CAP reflects the priorities of a wide range of community and stakeholders, including investors such as the South Australian and Australian Governments. The CAP is not intended to encompass every possible issue or action, but to identify the high priority actions without which some of our most important assets will collapse. The Willochra Creek CAP provides a strategic way forward – a plan of action – for the community who will be managing the Catchment’s natural resources into the future. The Willochra catchment The Willochra catchment in the Southern Flinders Ranges covers an area of around 6425 square kilometres. Approximately 250 kilometres north of Adelaide it is bound to the west by the Southern Flinders Ranges; to the east by the Oladdie Hills; and to the north by the Yappala and Yourambulla Ranges. The topography of the Willochra catchment varies considerably from steep ranges to undulating hills to the Willochra Plain. Elevation varies from 965 m at Mt Brown in the southwest region of the catchment to 70 m near Lake Torrens in the northwest. All sub-catchments drain toward the central Willochra Creek. Major tributaries to the Willochra Creek from the south of the catchment include Yellowman Creek, Wild Dog Creek and Rotten Creek. Eastern tributaries include Booleroo Creek, Old Booleroo Creek, Coonatto Creek, Boolcunda Creek, and Wirreanda Creek. Western tributaries include Spring Creek, Beautiful Valley Creek, Mt Brown Creek, Pichi Richi Creek, Castle Creek, and Mt Arden Creek. Major land use across the catchment includes cropping and grazing rotation; grazing modified pastures; conservation areas; grazing native vegetation; and irrigated modified pastures. Average annual rainfall within the catchment varies from 650 mm in the southwestern region of the catchment and decreases northwards across the Willochra Plain to less than 250 mm. Potential annual evaporation varies from 2400 mm in the south of the catchment and increases to 2600 mm in the north. The catchment is located in a semi-arid to arid region with highly variable runoff and its main watercourse, the Willochra Creek, is a dry land ephemeral riparian ecosystem. A combination of permanent pools and flow events is critical to maintaining aquatic biodiversity in these types of waterways as it enables species to disperse, recruit and reproduce. Riparian vegetation varies across the catchment depending on topographical and climatic conditions. The gorge country downstream between Simmonston and Yadlamulka station is mainly Acacia shrublands. The central Willochra Plain is dominated by chenopod shrublands. The wetter western and southern tributaries are mainly Eucalypt woodlands dominated by the region’s iconic river red gums. Edited by: Jennifer Munro, Water Officer, Natural Resources Northern and Yorke, 2016. Photo credits: J Munro; A Brown; PIRSA; NRNY; The Willochra catchment is divided into 14 sub-catchments Your say More than 100 participants provided feedback on watercourse management issues and objectives through a survey (see appendix) posted to landholders and discussed at community workshops and meetings in the catchment. River red gums were consistently identified by the community as an important feature of watercourses across the catchment and were closely followed in priority by native shrubland, native grasses and groundwater. The community identified the main concerns as weeds, drying up of springs, falling water table and pool levels, degradation of riverine habitat and the impact of livestock. Boxthorn, Horehound and Bathurst burr were the highest priority weeds, closely followed by Onion weed and Caltrop. Not surprisingly, weed control; improving and/or maintaining areas of good native vegetation; fencing vulnerable assets; protecting vegetation; and managing livestock were the most important watercourse management objectives. The main barriers to managing these watercourse issues were rated by survey respondents and included conflicts between agricultural use and environmental needs; lack of funds; lack of people to undertake works; and outsides impacts, including upstream management impacting on downstream health. The watercourse management priorities and issues of each individual sub-catchment are presented in the following chapters and will inform the development of the new Northern and Yorke Strategic Plan, currently underway. River red gums are an important part of the Willochra Catchment. Beautiful Valley Creek sub-catchment – our natural resources and management priorities The Beautiful Valley Creek sub-catchment (29.35 km2) is relatively steep and ranges from 770 m to 340 m in altitude, decreasing from the west to east. Grazing modified pasture and livestock grazing (vegetation) are the main land uses in the catchment, covering 95% of the total catchment area. Beautiful Valley Creek and Stony Creek are the main watercourses in the Beautiful Valley Creek sub- catchment. Natural assets identified for protection in the Beautiful Valley Creek sub-catchment Sub-catchment assets have been identified through the last decade, since the initial Willochra Catchment Hydrological and Ecological Assessment in 2003, including river red gums; peppermint, white and grey box woodlands; Mt Remarkable National Park; and Wilmington. River red gums are an important part of the Beautiful Valley Creek sub-catchment. Local and State Government, community members, and landholders, rated the condition of some of these assets using the Conservation Action Planning process in 2013. Beautiful Valley Creek Very Key asset Indicator Poor Fair Good good Peppermint and Grey box Vegetation condition x woodlands River red gums Tree health x Wilmington Stormwater management x Beautiful Valley’s grey box grassy woodlands are considered to be in a fair condition but their understories are generally heavily grazed and there is limited tree regeneration. In 2014-15, a survey helped provide more details on what the community valued in the sub-catchment and what threats they saw to our natural resources. Declining river flow, springs drying up and weeds were identified as the biggest threats to watercourses by the community. weeds declining river flow springs drying exotic trees water table and pool levels reducing livestock pest animals habitat loss water quality salinity High priority erosion Medium priority dams Low priority lack of native vegetation riverine habitat degredation native habitat degredation pollution from septic tanks pollution from farm chemicals groundwater extraction cultivation flood irrigation Olives, Boxthorn and Horehound were identified as the most problematic weeds threatening watercourses. Community members were also given the chance to rate activities they thought would most help to manage rivers and creeks in the sub-catchment as well as the barriers that might prevent good management. insert pic of Enhancing the natural qualities and characteristics of the river system, allowing natural regeneration regeneration, controlling weeds and revegetating to conserve habitat were the highest community priorities for managing our river systems. Allowing natural regeneration Upstream management impacting on downstream health, lack of funds and a lack of community awareness were seen as the biggest barriers to effective management of watercourses in the Beautiful Valley Creek sub-catchment.

  • 2017 Panel Assessment of Creeks and Rivers in the South Australian Arid Lands and Northern and Yorke NRM Regions – Lake Eyre Basin and Flinders Ranges
    Information sheet Water quality Aquatic ecosystem condition reports 2017 panel assessment of creeks and rivers in the South Australian Arid Lands and Northern and Yorke NRM regions – Lake Eyre Basin and Flinders Ranges Issued December 2018 EPA 1108/18: This information sheet describes the outcome of the panel assessment of creeks and rivers from the Lake Eyre Basin and Flinders Ranges in the South Australian Arid Areas and Northern and Yorke Natural Resources Management (NRM) regions, sampled during 2017. Introduction The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) coordinates a monitoring, evaluation and reporting (MER) program on the aquatic ecosystem condition of South Australian creeks and rivers. This MER program is designed to meet several objectives: • Providing a statewide monitoring framework for creeks and rivers that revolves through the NRM regions with sufficient frequency to allow for state of the environment reporting purposes. • Describing aquatic ecosystem condition for broad general public understanding. • Identifying the key pressures and management responses to those pressures. • Providing a useful reporting format that can support environmental decision making within government, community and industry. This information sheet provides a summary of the scientific work used in assessing monitoring data from creeks and rivers. Aquatic ecosystem science is not always rigid and precise; it is often open to different interpretations in several respects. The EPA has decided that the best way to assess the condition of streams is through an expert panel deliberation that uses a consistent descriptive modelling approach. The panel members comprised an environmental consultant and two biologists from the EPA (the authors of this assessment). All have at least 15 years’ experience in monitoring and assessing a range of streams across South Australia.

  • 90860 Action Plan for South Australian Freshwater Fishes Revised Sep 2010 V3.Indd
    Section 1 Introduction The ‘Action Plan for South Australian Freshwater Fishes’ aims to provide information that will help managers and the community alike to better understand the diversity of South Australian freshwater fishes and provide specific information for the protection of threatened species and their habitats. This involves raising awareness of the sorts of things required to improve the status of South Australia’s freshwater fish at broad and local scales, to spark ideas of how important actions might be achieved, and importantly identify opportunities for groups or individuals to get involved and make a difference. The overall objective is to improve the collective status of freshwater fishes in South Australia. This should involve documenting a positive response to actions combined with improved information to enable a downgrading in species status. Specific objectives are to: • Raise awareness of the presence and plight of freshwater fishes and the need for action. • Comment on the current state of knowledge and information gaps for threatened fish species. • Identify priority actions for improving the status of freshwater fishes in South Australia. • Provide information and options for stakeholders on how they can contribute to conservation. The targeted users or stakeholders for this document are broad and includes organisations and individuals involved with threatened species, threatened ecological communities, alien species, natural resource management (especially concerning water), habitat protection, and restoration. These stakeholders will be involved in different ways ranging from being decision makers, providing funding and being involved in implementing or undertaking actions (the doers). They will have diverse affiliations ranging from government departments (federal and State), local government, research organisations, educators, funding bodies (government and private sector), non government organisations, community groups and concerned individuals on the land, in business or involved with fish at some level.
