Myoporum Turbinatum THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister approved this listing advice and deleted this species from the Vulnerable category, effective from 04/07/2019 Listing Advice Myoporum turbinatum Salt Myoporum Summary of assessment Conservation status Myoporum turbinatum has been found to be not eligible for listing in any category, as outlined in the attached assessment. Reason for conservation assessment by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee This advice follows assessment of information provided by Western Australia as part of the Common Assessment Method process, to systematically review species that are inconsistently listed under the EPBC Act and relevant state/territory legislation or lists. More information on the Common Assessment Method is available at: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/cam Public consultation Notice of the proposed amendment and a consultation document was made available for public comment for at least 30 business days between 6 November 2018 and 18 December 2018. Any comments received that were relevant to the survival of the species were considered by the Committee as part of the assessment process. Recommendations (i) The Committee recommends that the list referred to in section 178 of the EPBC Act be amended by deleting from the list in the Endangered category: Myoporum turbinatum Threatened Species Scientific Committee 26 February 2019 Ctenotus angusticeps (Northwestern Coastal Ctenotus) Listing Advice Short form Threatened species nomination form (Version Mar 2016) Abridged Threatened Species Nomination Form For nominations/assessments under the Common Assessment Method (CAM) where supporting information is available, but not in a format suitable for demonstrating compliance with the CAM, and assessment against the IUCN Red List threat status.

Eligibility against the IUCN Red List criteria (A, B, C, D and E) Provide justification for the nominated conservation status; is the species eligible or ineligible for listing against the five criteria. For delisting, provide details for why the species no longer meets the requirements of the current conservation status. A. Population size reduction • Surveys carried out in 2013-2014 found six new populations and six new (evidence of decline) subpopulations, with the known number of plants increasing from 171 plants counted in 2004 to 10,393 in 2013-14, as a result of increased survey effort. Extensive habitat that is not accessible occurring in the range of the species indicates a larger population occurs (refer habitat image below). • The species appears to undergo population variation within individual subpopulations in response to recruitment events. In 2014, large numbers of new seedlings were found in areas previously containing low numbers of plants. The fruit is woody and indehiscent, and appears to be long-lived and requires some form of treatment to germinate. It is apparent that the species periodically undergoes a mass recruitment event, possibly after fire, followed by slow decline as the plants age. • The species grows in areas associated with salt lakes which are naturally isolated, and not productive for agriculture. Identified threats potentially affecting the species are not likely to result in significant longer term population decline. • Insufficient information to assess criteria B. Geographic range • Extensive survey from 2013 to 2014 extended the species range by (EOO and AOO, number of 30 km. A new subpopulation was located in a nature reserve and there locations and evidence of is potential for more subpopulations to be found in the large area of decline) habitat between the currently known eastern and western subpopulation areas, as well as extension of the subpopulation through the nature reserves. The EEO is approximately 420 km2 and using the 2x2km2 grid system the area of occupancy is 40 km2. • There is no evidence of ongoing decline and the nature of the threats listed for the species are not likely to result in ongoing decline. Land clearing has largely ceased in the area, and the species grows naturally in association with saline environments with no predicted changes that would impact the species (refer habitat image below). • The biology of the species is for populations to naturally decline as plants mature, and recruit from soil seed sources, with fire frequency in that environment not likely to restrict seed production capacity after fire regeneration. Location 2 is showing an increase in plant numbers. Page 3 of 8 • Both locations have subpopulations in nature reserves which are protected. The species grows in areas associated with salt lakes which are not likely to be developed for agriculture when in private ownership, and no evidence of habitat decline. • Does not meet criteria as no continuing decline observed or projected, and the variation in population size between recruitment events is not placing the species at risk and not considered to be extreme fluctuation under the IUCN criteria C. Small population size and • Further surveys conducted in 2013-2014 increased the total known decline number of mature individuals to 10,393, located on 87 small lakes (population size, comprising 12 subpopulations at 2 locations. distribution and evidence of • Largest subpopulations exceeds 1000 (2500) mature individuals (refer decline) to table at end of nomination form), and several with >1000 seedlings. • No population decline observed or projected. • Does not meet criteria D.

    INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 116 SALT MYOPORUM (MYOPORUM TURBINATUM) INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN 2002-2007 Robyn Phillimore and Andrew Brown Photograph: A. Cochrane February 2002 Department of Conservation and Land Management Western Australian Threatened Species and Communities Unit (WATSCU) PO Box 51, Wanneroo, WA 6946 Interim Recovery Plan for Myoporum turbinatum FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (the Department) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The Department is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from February 2002 to January 2007 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be replaced by a full Recovery Plan after five years. This IRP was approved by the Acting Director of Nature Conservation on 24 September, 2002. The provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the Department, as well as the need to address other priorities. Information in this IRP was accurate at May 2002. 2 Interim Recovery Plan for Myoporum turbinatum SUMMARY Scientific Myoporum turbinatum Common Name: Salt Myoporum Name: Family: Myoporaceae Flowering Period: May; October to February Dept Region: South Coast Dept District: Esperance Shire: Esperance Recovery Team: To be established Illustrations and/or further information: Brown, A., Thomson-Dans, C.

  • Vegetation, Flora, Fauna and Environmental Considerations Report
    Howick Road North Construction Project (Parmango Rd to Ridgelands Rd) Vegetation, Flora, Fauna and Environmental Considerations Report January 2017 Julie Waters (BEnvSci) Senior Environmental Officer EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The survey has been undertaken in accordance with the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) Technical Guidance, Terrestrial Flora and Vegetation Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment in Western Australia (2016) as part of the application to Clear Native Vegetation for a 6.19 km section of road upgrades. Total area of 18.97 hectares, 5.3 hectares of which is native vegetation. The permit area is along Howick Road Reserve (between Ridgelands road and Parmango road). The existing road is a gravel road within a 100 metres wide road reserve. The total cleared road width is currently 18 metres. The Shire is applying to clear 25m wide along the 6.19km section of road, however this is unlikely to be all cleared. Introduction The Shire of Esperance plans to upgrade Howick Road from the Fisheries to Coolinup road over a 3 year period. One section has already been done CPS7185. This is a major transport route to the Beaumont CBH grain receival facility and thus gets a high amount of trucks and other traffic. The survey is part of our compliance obligations for the purpose of clearing native vegetation to construct the road. Howick road is approximately 85km east of Esperance, on the south coast of Western Australia. The Shire of Esperance has applied for a 25m wide clearing footprint area. The current road is 18m wide and the gazetted road reserve is 100m. The survey is restricted to an area 5m either side of the existing road alignment.
