From there the river flows westward passing through Brunswick Junction before moving southward as it nears Australind and finally discharges into the Collie River. The main tributary of the Brunswick River is the Wellesley River. Other tributaries are the Ernest, Augustus, Frederic and Lunenburgh Rivers and Elvira Gully. The 228 km2 catchment is situated primarily within the Shire of Harvey, with a small portion in the Shire of Collie. The Brunswick River is the only fresh tributary to the salinity affected Collie River. The Department of Water (DoW) is the lead State Government agency responsible for water resource management planning in Western Australia (WA). The DoW is undertaking a number of activities to support water management in the Brunswick River catchment including the establishment of ecological water requirements. Study objectives The DoW’s water resource management activities are guided by Statewide Policy No 5 Environmental Water Provisions Policy for Western Australia (WRC 2000). The policy describes WA’s water allocation planning framework, which takes into account not only ecological but also social and economic values. In the water planning framework, social values are limited to non- consumptive social values. This includes Aboriginal and other Australian heritage, recreational and tourist pursuits, landscape and aesthetic aspects, and educational and scientific aspects (WRC 2000a). This report documents the non-consumptive in situ surface water-dependent social values of the Brunswick River catchment. The study objectives were to identify: (1) locations/features with social values, their characteristics and the water conditions to support these values; (2) locations where restoration works are needed; and (3) the consultation required before restoration works can commence. Social values: • Despite its size and proximity to Bunbury, the Brunswick River system currently has limited non-consumptive in situ social values. This is largely due to a lack of formal public access points. • The most notable exception is the Brunswick River Pool near the Brunswick Junction town site. The pool is a popular recreation spot (e.g. swimming, fishing, marroning) that reaches capacity (e.g. up to 100 people on weekends) in summer but is used year round by local residents. Water management considerations: • For sites where specific SWRs (e.g. the Brunswick River Pool) were identified, stakeholders indicated that the existing water conditions are sufficient to support the existing social values. In general, water conditions that met ecological needs were deemed by stakeholders as also adequate to support associated social values. • For sites where specific SWRs were identified (e.g. the Brunswick River Pool), stakeholders indicated that the existing water conditions are sufficient to support the existing social values. ii Brunswick River Catchment Social Values Study 2010 In general, water conditions that met ecological needs were deemed by stakeholders as also adequate to support associated social values. • The Brunswick River Pool is the most important feature with social value on the river system and there is considerable value in maintaining or improving, the condition of this feature. • The establishment of a major new dam on the Brunswick River would significantly diminish the existing social values, including its value as a mythological site of significance to the Noongar community. • The social values of the river system could be enhanced by the establishment of several formal public access points. Any decision to establish formal public access points to enhance social values would need to be weighed against economic and environmental considerations. River restoration: • All stakeholders recognised that some parts of the river system have become degraded over time due to land use activities, engineering modifications and general use of the river. They strongly supported restoring degraded areas to protect the ecological values and health of the river system. • The most commonly requested restoration activities were bank stabilisation to prevent erosion and sediment build-up and weed removal. • In addition to general comments about the need for restoration works, about one third of the interviewees identified specific sites and/or areas in need of restoration. The most frequently identified was the Brunswick River Pool. • The DoW recognises the importance of engaging with Noongar stakeholders before undertaking restoration activities. This was supported and encouraged by Noongar stakeholders during the study. iii Brunswick River Catchment Social Values Study 2010 Table of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................. 1 1.1 Background ....................................................................................................................... 1 1.2 Study objective ................................................................................................................. 2 1.3 Study area ......................................................................................................................... 2 1.4 Definition of social values ................................................................................................ 2 1.5 Social water requirements ............................................................................................... 3 Chapter 2 Methods ........................................................................................................................ 5 2.1 Social value descriptors ................................................................................................... 5 2.2 Desktop analysis ............................................................................................................... 6 2.3 Engagement with Noongar stakeholders ....................................................................... 7 2.4 Engagement with other stakeholders ............................................................................. 9 2.5 Site visits ........................................................................................................................... 9 Chapter 3 Social Values .............................................................................................................. 10 3.1 Public access as a limiting factor ................................................................................... 10 3.2 Brunswick River Pool ..................................................................................................... 10 3.3 Moonlight Pool and Treasure Bridge ............................................................................ 13 3.4 Beela Dam ....................................................................................................................... 14 3.5 Fishing and marroning ................................................................................................... 14 3.6 Camping and hunting ..................................................................................................... 16 3.7 Education values............................................................................................................. 16 3.8 Heritage values ............................................................................................................... 16 Chapter 4

[email protected] 2 Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research, Murdoch University, South St, Murdoch, WA 6150. [email protected] Manuscript received September 2007; accepted February 2008 Abstract A paucity of information exists on the fish and crayfish communities of two major rivers that flow into the Leschenault Inlet, south-western Western Australia. This study documents these communities and assesses their ecological significance. During February 2006, seven sites were sampled for fish and freshwater crayfish on each of the Brunswick River and Preston River with additional sites having been previously sampled in the summer of 1999/2000. The rivers generally had similar native fish communities with four endemic species, Freshwater Cobbler, Western Minnow, Western Pygmy Perch and Nightfish making up 60% of all fish captures (2670) with the remaining being from three feral freshwater and six estuarine species. Two native species of freshwater crayfish were also recorded, the Marron and Gilgie. The endemic Western Minnow and Western Pygmy Perch were the most common and widespread native fish species in both rivers. This study recorded what appears to be the Empire Gudgeon in the Preston River; the first record of this northern Australian species in the South-west Drainage Division, and its presence was attributed either to marine larval drift or as a result of an aquarium release.

INTRODUCTION Little intensive research has been done on the lichen flora of Western Australia though collections were nade at quite an early date, The earliest taxononic publication appears to be that of Fries (1846), who described 25 species, the Tesult of collections by L. Preiss fron Rottnest Island and the south-west part of the state. The following year Taylor (1847) listed 1"6 lichens from Western Australia in his catalogue of the W.J. Hooker Herbariun. Mueller (1887) collated the early records and produced a list of Australian lichens, includlng two species from Western Australia which had not previously been recorded:. Cladia aggregata and CLadon'Laretipot u", the latter now segregated in Western Australia as Cla&ia ferdi,nandii.

  • Wellington National Park, Westralia Conservation Park and Wellington Discovery Forest
    WELLINGTON NATIONAL PARK, WESTRALIA CONSERVATION PARK AND WELLINGTON DISCOVERY FOREST Management Plan 2008 Department of Environment and Conservation Conservation Commission of Western Australia VISION Over the life of the plan, a balance will exist between the conservation of the planning areas’ natural values and the public demand for recreation and water supply. The area will make an important contribution to reservation of the Jarrah Forest, where natural values, such as granite outcrops, mature growth forest, ecosystems of the Collie River, and our knowledge of them, will be maintained and enhanced for future generations. Visitors to the area will enjoy a range of sustainable recreation opportunities in a variety of forest settings, and provide a benefit to the regional economy. The community will regard the area as a natural asset and will have a greater understanding of its values, and support for their management, through the Wellington Discovery Forest and other education and interpretive facilities. The ancient landscape of the Collie River valley will be recognised as a forest environment of great visual aesthetic appeal, and for its rich Aboriginal heritage, which will be kept alive through the active and ongoing involvement of local Aboriginal people. ii PREFACE The Department of Environment and Conservation (the Department) manages reserves vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia (Conservation Commission) and prepares management plans on their behalf. The Conservation Commission issues draft management plans for public comment and provides proposed (final) management plans for approval by the Minister for the Environment. The Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 (the ‘CALM Act’) specifies that management plans must contain: a) a statement of policies and guidelines proposed to be followed; and b) a summary of operations proposed to be undertaken.
