Supporting evidence is provided in a series of Figures and Appendices at the end of this Memorandum. Methods A desktop assessment was conducted using FloraBase (Western Australian Herbarium [WAH] 1998- ), NatureMap (Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions [DBCA] 2007- ) and Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Protected Matters Search Tool (Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment [DAWE] 2020a) databases to identify the possible occurrence of threatened and priority flora, threatened fauna and threatened and priority ecological communities within the proposed pipeline survey area. Search parameters used in the NatureMap search were ‘by rectangle’ and encompassed the project area polygon using the following parameters: 115° 07’ 36” E, 115° 19’ 42” E, - 29° 25’ 59” S, - 29° 23’ 47” S. The aforementioned coordinates were also used in the EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool (DAWE 2020a).

We have had a very cold winter and now as spring emerges the cold remains with very wet conditions. Oh how I long for some warm sunshine to brighten our day. However the Hakeas have stood up to the cold weather very well and many have now flowered. Rainfall in August was 30mm but in the first 6 days of September another 56mm was recorded making the soil very moist indeed. The rain kept falling in September with 150mm recorded. Fortunately my drainage work of spoon drains and deeper drains with slotted pipe with blue metal cover on top shed a lot of water straight into the Council drains. Most of the Hakeas like well drained conditions, so building up beds and getting rid of excess water will help in making them survive. The collection here now stands at 162 species out of a possible 169. Seed of some of the remaining species hopefully will arrive here before Christmas so that I can propagate them over summer. Wanderings. Barbara and I spent most of June and July in northern NSW and Queensland to escape the cold conditions down here. I did look around for Hakeas and visited some members’ gardens. Just to the east of Cann River I found Hakea decurrens ssp. physocarpa, Hakea ulicina and Hakea teretifolia ssp. hirsuta all growing on the edge of a swamp.

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

PhD Thesis by Paul D. Rymer B.Sc. (Hons) – Uni. of Western Sydney School of Biological Sciences UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG 2006 2 DECLARATION This thesis is submitted, in accordance with the regulations of the University of Wollongong, in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The work described in this thesis was carried out by me, except where otherwise acknowledged, and has not been submitted to any other university or institution. 3 “Yes, Duckie, you’re lucky you’re not Herbie Hart who has taken his Throm-dim-bu-lator apart” (Dr. Seuss 1973) 4 Abstract An understanding of rarity can provide important insights into evolutionary processes, as well as valuable information for the conservation management of rare and threatened species. In this research, my main objective was to gain an understanding of the biology of rarity by investigating colonization and extinction processes from an ecological and evolutionary perspective. I have focused on the genus Persoonia (family Proteaceae), because these plants are prominent components of the Australian flora and the distributional patterns of species vary dramatically, including several that are listed as threatened.

How quickly the year is passing. The long dry summer has finally given way to milder autumn days and wet weather. In the first two weeks of May we have received 80mm of rain, which is more than all the rain we have had in the previous four months. I watered the smaller Hakeas sparingly over the dry period and now that the rains have come they should be able to survive on their own. Our garden. It has been rather hectic around here. The builders finally arrived to build a patio and pergola in the front of the house. At the same time construction of a proper driveway and brick paved paths to various parts of the garden commenced. I have already moved approximately 100 barrow loads of sandy loam soil to other parts of the garden to form more raised beds and there are still a lot more to move yet. I am confident the final landscape will look good. Keeping builders away from standing on plants is always difficult. Even roping off areas where special plants exist does not ensure that they will not find a reason to erect a ladder in that spot. Our Hakea collection now stands at 145 species in the ground. Travels. Just before Easter Barbara and I set off for a trip through the eastern Victorian Alps and along the border to Bonang, then crossing into NSW to Bombala, Jindabyne, Canberra and Milton.
