Ecological Assessment Report 44 Shaws Road Beerwah Lot 3 Ecological Assessment Report 44 Shaws Road Beerwah Lot 3 RP171397 Prepared by Bill Flenady For Innovative Planning Solutions 1 Ecological Assessment Report and Rehabilitation Plan 44 Shaws Rd Beerwah Lot 3 RP 171397 INTRODUCTION This report was commissioned by IPS to fulfil the requirements of a request from Sunshine Coast Council for a brief ecological assessment of the property, list of flora species present and a rehabilitation plan for the watercourse in the north of the property. Council is proposing a drainage reserve on the area in the north (Area A) and a 10 metre wide covenant on the watercourse in the south (Area B). The flora survey was conducted on Tuesday 13 October 2015. It complies with the requirements of the Sunshine Coast Council Planning Scheme Policy for the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Code and the methodology used also complies with the DEHP Flora Survey Guidelines – Protected Plants. Abbreviations used in this report DEHP Queensland Department of V – Vulnerable Environment & Heritage Protection NCA – Nature Conservation Act 1992 NT – Near Threatened (Queensland) RE – Regional Ecosystem EPBC – Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Federal) E – Endangered SITE DESCRIPTION The property (‘the site’) is located on the corner of Shaws Road and Otto Nothling Place in Beerwah. The majority of the site is cleared and planted with a variety of orchard species, e.g. mangoes, citrus, macadamia, loquat etc. Area A is mapped as Regional Ecosystem 12.3.4, that is open forest/woodland of broad-leaved teatree Melaleuca quinquenervia and swamp mahogany Eucalyptus robusta on Quaternary (‘recent’) alluvial plains. This RE is regarded as ‘of concern’. 2 Figure 1 Proposed Plan of Development 3 Although too narrow to be mapped the remnant vegetation in Area B is shown as the same RE in pre-clearing mapping. However field observations do not support this classification. While generally having some affinity with RE 12.3.4, in this case willow bottlebrush Melaleuca salicina is the co-dominant while M. quinquenervia is uncommon, and E. robusta is barely, or not co-dominant. The small size of the remnant makes dominance difficult to quantify with any certainty. Despite that caveat, both areas appear to be more a variant of 12.9-10.14 (tall open-forest of blackbutt E. pilularis with shrubby understorey on much older sediments). While there are no blackbutt present these may have been selectively logged as the species was, and is, a highly sought after timber tree, furthermore blackbutt tends to prefer well-drained soils so it is not surprising that it is absent from the areas adjacent to the watercourse. The pre-clearing RE map shows the balance of the site as 12.9-10.14 and the majority of the associate species in this RE are present, e.g. turpentine Syncarpia floribunda, pink bloodwood Corymbia intermedia and brush box Lophostemon confertus. The geological map for the area supports this contention, in that the site is on the Nambour Formation of the Woogaroo sub-group. The Nambour Formation comprises quartzose sandstones, siltstones and shale conglomerates (with coal in some areas). No areas of Quaternary sediments are shown. The vegetation along the watercourses should therefore be regarded as a wetter variant of RE 12.9-10.14, a least concern RE. This does not have any particular impact on the proposal as the areas in question are to be protected in covenant and drainage reserve. A full list of native species is contained in Appendix 1. There has been some planting of native species on the edge of the proposed covenant and along the watercourse at the rear of proposed Lots 6 and 7. While some species are not particularly appropriate, the only ones of concern are silver quandong Elaeocarpus grandis and flooded gum Eucalyptus grandis. These species are not appropriate in proximity to residential areas as both are shallow-rooted and susceptible to windthrow and limb loss. It should be noted that the watercourse in the proposed Drainage Reserve has been dammed for many years (see Figure 2). It should be considered whether it is appropriate for the dam to remain or whether it is more desirable to carry out a staged breaching of the wall to allow a more natural flow to resume in the creek. It was noted that the existing vegetation along Shaws Road provides a visual screen of the houses across the road. While some is on road reserve, the rest is within the site. Consideration should be given to retaining this vegetation to enhance the amenity of the proposed development. 4 Fig. 2 Standing water behind dam wall in proposed Drainage Reserve WEED SPECIES The proposed covenant area is relatively weed-free, except for a few minor patches of lantana Lantana camara, and occasional murraya Murraya cv exotica, easter senna Senna pendula var. glabrata, silver-leaf desmodium Desmodium uncinatum, moth vine Araujia hortorum, siratro Macroptilium atropurpureum, ochna Ochna serrulata and umbrella tree Schefflera actinophyllum. See Figure 3 5 Figure 3 Seasonal Watercourse in Proposed Covenant Area 6 The proposed Drainage Reserve is carrying a much heavier weed load, with a large infestation of exotic ginger Alpinia sp., numerous small-leaved privet Ligustrum sinense and some large umbrella trees. See Figure 4. Most of the weeds recorded for Area B are present and there are also several others not found in that area. A full list of weed species is contained in Appendix 2. Figure 4 View into Proposed Drainage Reserve from Road REHABILITATION PLAN A staged breaching of the dam wall should be considered to restore a more natural flow to the watercourse and remove the risk of drowning to unsupervised children. As noted earlier, the proposed Drainage Reserve is carrying a high weed load. This will need to be controlled before any work commences on replanting. In particular the vines and scramblers (Passiflora spp., silver-leaf desmodium, lantana etc.) need to be eradicated as a matter of priority. Most of the species present should be susceptible to Glyphosate BiactiveTM and this is the herbicide of choice due to the proximity of the watercourse. Where this is not effective, reference should be made to the Weed Fact Sheets available on the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries website (https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/plants/weeds-pest-animals- ants). 7 Grassed area should be poisoned and covered with a biodegradable weed mat (e.g. Jutemaster Thick™). An access track should be left open along the boundary fence to allow for maintenance of the fence, width to be determined in consultation with neighbours. See Figure 4 Figure 4 Grassed area in NE Corner. Note mown strip along fence Planting should be at 2 metre centres except along creek banks where forbs can be planted at 0.5m centres. Maintenance period will be determined by Council, but should be for a minimum of twelve months and during the maintenance period any plants that die are to be replaced. A list of species recommended for replanting is included at Appendix 3. 8 APPENDIX 1 Native Flora Species p = planted species a, b = area in which species occurs DICOTYLEDONS Apocynaceae Parsonsia brownii (syn P. straminea) common silkpod a, b Casuarinaceae Allocasuarina littoralis black she-oak Convolvulaceae Dichondra repens kidney weed b Cucurbitaceae Diplocyclos palmatus native bryony a Elaeocarpaceae Elaeocarpus grandis (p) silver quandong Elaeocarpus reticulatus blueberry ash b Sloanea australis (p) maidens blush Euphorbiaceae Glochidion xerocarpum cheese tree a, b (syn G. ferdinandi) Homalanthus populifolius bleeding heart b Macaranga tanarius macaranga b Fabaceae Hovea acutifolia purple bush-pea b Lauraceae Cryptocarya glaucescens jackwood a, b Litsea leefeana brown bollygum a, b Neolitsea dealbata white bollywood b Moraceae Ficus coronata creek sandpaper fig a, b Malvaceae Commersonia bartramia rusty kurrajong a 9 Hibiscus heterophyllus native rosella b Menispermaceae Stephania japonica var. discolor tape vine a, b Mimosaceae Acacia maidenii maiden’s wattle a, b A. melanoxylon blackwood a, b Myrtaceae Acmena smithii lillypilly a, b Corymbia intermedia pink bloodwood a, b Eucalyptus grandis (p) flooded gum E. microcorys tallowwood b E. robusta swamp mahogany a, b Lophostemon confertus (p) brush box a, b Melaleuca quinquenervia broad leaved teatree a M. salicina willow bottlebrush a, b M. sp.

  • TML Propagation Protocols
    PROPAGATION PROTOCOLS This document is intended as a guide for Tamborine Mountain Landcare members who wish to assist our regeneration projects by growing some of the plants needed. It is a work in progress so if you have anything to add to the protocols – for example a different but successful way of propagating and growing a particular plant – then please give it to Julie Lake so she can add it to the document. The idea is that our shared knowledge and experience can become a valuable part of TML's intellectual property as well as a useful source of knowledge for members. As there are many hundreds of plants native to Tamborine Mountain, the protocols list will take a long time to complete, with growing information for each plant added alphabetically as time permits. While the list is being compiled by those members with competence in this field, any TML member with a query about propagating a particular plant can post it on the website for other me mb e r s to answer. To date, only protocols for trees and shrubs have been compiled. Vines and ferns will be added later. Fruiting times given are usual for the species but many rainforest plants flower and fruit opportunistically, according to weather and other conditions unknown to us, thus fruit can be produced at any time of year. Finally, if anyone would like a copy of the protocols, contact Julie on [email protected] and she’ll send you one. ………………….. Growing from seed This is the best method for most plants destined for regeneration projects for it is usually fast, easy and ensures genetic diversity in the regenerated landscape.

  • Structures and Bioactive Properties of Myrtucommulones and Related Acylphloroglucinols from Myrtaceae
    molecules Review Structures and Bioactive Properties of Myrtucommulones and Related Acylphloroglucinols from Myrtaceae Rosario Nicoletti 1,2 , Maria Michela Salvatore 3 , Pasquale Ferranti 2 and Anna Andolfi 3,* 1 Council for Agricultural Research and Economics, Research Centre for Olive, Citrus and Tree Fruit, 81100 Caserta, Italy; [email protected] 2 Department of Agriculture, University of Naples ‘Federico II’, 80055 Portici, Italy; [email protected] 3 Department of Chemical Sciences, University of Naples ‘Federico II’, 80126 Naples, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: andolfi@unina.it; Tel.: +39-081-2539179 Academic Editors: Francesco Vinale and Maria Luisa Balestrieri Received: 2 December 2018; Accepted: 17 December 2018; Published: 19 December 2018 Abstract: Myrtaceae are a group of plants that include a number of renowned species used in ethnomedicine in many areas worldwide. Their valuable therapeutic properties have stimulated a fruitful research activity addressed to the identification of the bioactive components of their extracts yielding a great diversity of terpenes; polyphenols; and other exclusive products. Among the latter, starting with the discovery of myrtucommulone A from myrtle (Myrtus communis), a series of structurally-related acylphloroglucinol compounds have been characterized from several species that represent the basic active principles to be considered in view of possible drug development. Aspects concerning chemical and biological properties of these products are reviewed in the present paper. Keywords: myrtucommulone; acylphloroglucinols; Myrtaceae; plant extracts; biological activities 1. Introduction Myrtle (Myrtus communis) is a typical shrub of maquis and coastal bushes native of the Mediterranean area and Western Asia. It is well-known in traditional medicine, and for centuries its leaves and berries have found ethnomedical application in the treatment of several disorders of the digestive apparatus, as well as pulmonary and skin diseases [1,2].

  • Palma Carey (Cordyline Rubra)
    Palma carey (Cordyline rubra) Distribución: Es una planta de origen australiano, que por su uso ornamental se encuentra en otras partes del mundo, incluyendo Venezuela. Clasificación taxonómica: Reino: Plantae División: Magnoliophyta Clase: Monocotiledónea Orden: Asparagales Familia: Asparagaceae Subfamilia: Lomandroideae Género: Cordyline Especie: C. rubra (OTTO & A.DIETR.) KUNTZE Hábitat: Se trata de una planta de lento crecimiento y tallo erecto, que puede crecer desde 30 cm. hasta 4 m. de altura, según la especie. Cuando la planta es joven, el tallo es corto y está completamente recubierto por las bases de sus hojas. Al pasar el tiempo se alarga y la planta va perdiendo sus hojas inferiores. Los tallos son simples no ramificados. A medida que la planta crece las hojas bajeras mueren dando origen a un tallo desnudo y robusto. Esta especie se identifica principalmente por los tallos foliares, planos o algo cóncavos y cuya longitud es de unos 5 a 20 cm. Las hojas, de color verde mate, son estrechamente elongadas y tienen entre 15 a 50 cm de largo por 3 a 5,5 cm de ancho. La floración se da en verano, las pequeñas flores de color lila surgen del ápice de la planta. Las flores son poco significativas ornamentalmente. Aparecen en los meses secos en algunos ejemplares maduros dando lugar aún tallo largo con numerosas flores estrelladas de color crema. El fruto, una baya de color rojo brillante de unos 10 mm de diámetro, surge en panículas de 10 a 40 cm de largo. Temperatura y Humedad: A temperaturas mayores de 30°C se acelera demasiado el proceso de fotosíntesis y respiración produciendo una demanda alta de agua, la cual si no se satisface puede causar el colapso de la planta.

  • Cordyline Petiolaris Broad Leaved Palm Lily Friends Description Cordyline Petiolaris (Syn: Cordyline Terminalis Var
    Plant in Focus, June 2018 Cordyline petiolaris Broad Leaved Palm Lily Friends Description Cordyline petiolaris (syn: Cordyline terminalis var. petiolaris) is a medium- sized palm-like, strappy, understory plant, growing to a maximum of 5 metres in height in its natural habitat. of It is an Australian native plant, endemic to the east coast rain forests of northern Geelong Botanic Gardens NSW and southern Queensland. The mid-green leaves are long - up to a metre - and around 15 cm wide. It can be multi-trunked. It has white or lilac small flowers in late winter to early spring. These are followed by spectacular panicles of red berries which can persist for many months. The berries attract attention at this time of year under the large Araucaria bidwillii that is a focus of our Twenty First Century Garden. Cordyline petiolaris is one of several Australian native Cordylines. Name and classification 'Cordyline' is from the Greek 'Kordyle', which means 'club'. Some sources say this refers to the large underground rhizomes of the genus; others say this refers to swellings on the trunks of some Cordyline petiolaris. C21 Garden, GBG. species. Above: June 2018. Photo: CC. Below and over page: Jan 2018. Photo: DJ. 'Petiolaris' means 'stalked', and refers to the long stalks on the flowers (and berry panicles). Cordylines were once commonly classified in the Lilyaceae family, while other botanists placed them in the Agavaceae family. They are now formally placed in the Asparagaceae family. Further information of interest Cordylines are of special interest to Australians because they link us to the South Pacific.
