  • A Review of Geoconservation Values
    Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2).

  • CHANGES in SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE the EARLY 1800S
    Papers and Proceedings o/the Royal Society o/Tasmania, Volume 132, 1998 IS CHANGES IN SOUTHWESTERN TASMANIAN FIRE REGIMES SINCE THE EARLY 1800s by Jon B. Marsden-Smedley (with five tables and one text-figure) MARSDEN-SMEDLEY, ].B., 1998 (31:xii): Changes in southwestern Tasmanian fire regimes since the early 1800s. Pap.Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 132: 15-29. ISSN 0040-4703. School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, GPO Box 252-78, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. There have been major changes in the fire regime of southwestern Tasmania over the past 170 years. The fire regime has changed from an Aboriginal fire regime of frequent low-intensity fires in buttongrass moorland (mostly in spring and autumn) with only the occasional high-intensity forest fire, to the early European fire regime of frequent high-intensity fires in all vegetation types, to a regime of low to medium intensity buttongrass moorland fires and finally to the current regime of few fires. These changes in the fire regime resulted in major impacts to the region's fire-sensitive vegetation types during the early European period, while the current low fire frequency across much of southwestern Tasmania has resulted in a large proportion of the region's fire-adapted buttongrass moorland being classified as old-growth. These extensive areas of old-growth buttongrass moorland mean that the potential for another large-scale ecologically damaging wildfire is high and, to avoid this, it would be better to re-introduce a regime oflow-intensity fires into the region. Key Words: fire regimes, fire management, southwestern Tasmania, Aboriginal fire, history.

As a Local Government Area which not only borders on, but has significant land mass within the TWWHA this document is particularly significant to the Derwent Valley. Recent growth in the adventure tourism and cruise ship market in the area also makes the Tourism Master Plan (Master Plan) relevant to our community. Those involved in the creation of the Master Plan should be commended on recognising the importance of regional dispersal of tourists to local economies and its inclusion with the document. Our Council commends DPIPWE on the overall direction provided by the Master Plan and looks forward to working together with stakeholders to implement the plan. Please find attached feedback on specific sections of the Master Plan. Yours sincerely Dean Griggs Circle Street, New Norfolk. P.O.
