King Island Land Use Plan 2018 Draft for Consultation Foreword King Island is rich in so many ways - our natural beauty, our abundance of flora and fauna, our clean air, our clean water, our rich pastures, our plentiful ocean surrounds, our special history and the people that make up our supportive community. King Island’s “way of life”, while difficult to define, is unique and a web of values worthy of protecting at all levels. At this time, we have a once in a decade opportunity to set the framework and road map for our Island land use. Leveraging from what we have identified to protect and to encourage, this plan is about the future direction of what we do & build where. The deep engagement undertaken to get us to this point of sharing broadly with the community, has been invaluable in defining our values and objectives. This plan is the next step in seeking your input into defining our land use direction, with a view of sustainable development, appropriate infrastructure and a clear future direction for the Island’s land use. This Plan has been intelligently structured by our dedicated and committed team, with maximum information in a form that is easy to interpret. We are proud to present this to the community and look forward to the productive, constructive next steps with you.

While this Community & feedback is considered highly valuable, it is acknowledged that the Stakeholder community cannot influence all aspects of the Plan. Feedback The Plan will be on exhibition during the month of October and this will be available both in electronic copy (to download) and printed formats. There are other aspects of the Plan where there is scope to influence the policy setting. Here are some questions to consider when reviewing the Plan: “Has the best land for agriculture been identified on the Agricultural Land Estate (King Island’s prime land)?” “Are there areas in the Agricultural Land Estate that should not be used for processing raw products?” “Do you agree where future residential development is identified in Currie?” “Is ‘The Ettrick’ a suitable location for further coastal residential development?” “Are policies facilitating commercial development at the Huxley Hill and the Airport appropriate?” Comments on the Plan can be made in writing to the Council or through the “Have your Say” tab on Council’s website during the public consultation period. Next Steps When consultation has concluded, the comments and feedback received will be collated and considered. Where appropriate the Plan will be modified or adjusted to reflect the feedback and comments, as much as is possible. Following this process the next steps will be to refine the policy settings, outline implementation of the Plan and identify any specific actions for the short, medium and long term. This will identify planning scheme amendments required to integrate the local strategies and policies. 5 Summary 6 1 King Island Our 20 Year Plan King Island is renowned for its: spectacular food such as beef, seafood & cheese sourced and produced on the Island; the two world-rated golf courses at Ocean King Island Dunes & Cape Wickham; scenic rural and is in a period coastal landscapes; and biodiversity values and people that are proud of the Island’s of growth; achievements. large scale The protection of our many unique investments attributes and the natural environment are expected remains paramount for the Island’s prosperity and future. & population The King Island Land Use Plan (the Plan) is forecast to acknowledges our history, embraces our grow over the core values and builds a strong foundation for future use and development, placing next 3 years. the well-being of the Island’s people at the fore.

    Rock and Gravel Resources of King Island

    Tasmanian Geological Survey Tasmania Record 1998/05 Rock and gravel resources of King Island by C. R. Calver Summary The known gravel resources on King Island are limited. Material for road works is currently sourced from two pits (Reekara and Pearshape) operated by the King Island Council, and from a mine overburden waste dump at Grassy. Concrete aggregate is sourced from beach shingle on the west coast. The Reekara and Pearshape pits are known to have acid drainage problems. Mineral Resources Tasmania and the Department of Environment and Land Management have agreed that the Reekara pit should be closed immediately and rehabilitated, and that the Pearshape pit should be closed and rehabilitated within two years. Mining of the beach shingle, which is deleterious to the coastal environment, will also cease within two years. Thereafter concrete aggregate will need to be produced from hard rock. Future supplies of road construction gravel may continue to be sourced from the Grassy dump, from a new site at Counsel Hill, and from one or two other small existing pits. For good quality road sealing material and concrete aggregate, it is recommended that sites in Precambrian amphibolite east of Pegarah, and in Tertiary basalt in the north of the island, be investigated. INTRODUCTION rehabilitation of the Pearshape and Reekara pits in King Island’s supplies of gravel for road construction the near future. and concrete aggregate have, for many years, been A substitute or substitutes for these pits needs to be taken from beach shingle at widely scattered points capable of providing an annual total of around along the west coast of the island, and from two 40 000 tonnes of gravel and crushed stone for road inland gravel pits at Reekara in the north and construction.

    King Island Case Study Final Report

    1 ‘Where’s the Slice for King Island?’1 A case study of provenance protection models in King Island* By William van Caenegem2 and Kana Nakano3 1 Interview with Respondent 14: ‘You see the prices they’re charging in the shop fronts as double, but where is the slice for King Island? We’re getting the same slice as everyone else. How can we leverage that to come back to us?’ * This report could not have been completed without financial assistance for which we acknowledge the support of WTI Advisors and the European Union. However, this is an independent, scholarly study and the analysis and conclusions are entirely those of the authors. Ethics approval was obtained from the Bond University Human Research Ethics Committee for the conduct of interviews. 2 Professor of Law at Bond University. 3 Semester Teaching Fellow and Research Assistant at Bond University. 2 Executive Summary The findings in this case study are based on desktop research augmented with approximately thirty-two (32) interviews conducted on King Island, Australia, and few off-island actors. King Island (‘KI’) lies off the North coast of Tasmania and is part of that state. KI has an established reputation in Australia as a provenance brand for dairy and beef. KI lobster is marketed primarily in China. Australia does not allow for sui generis GI registration of any edible products other than wine. In that context, this case study examines how standard trade marks have become established in KI over time and perform a provenance branding function although they are owned by disparate commercial actors.

    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.

Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.

    MEDIA RELEASE NEWS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA DATE: THURSDAY 15 NOVEMBER 2007 ATTENTION: Chiefs of Staff, News Directors Lobster lotto to help in quest for big, red rock lobsters University of Tasmania researchers are asking people fishing for crays this summer to help in the quest for bigger, redder rock lobsters by reporting any tagged catches. Today is the opening of the commercial rock lobster season, and researchers from the University’s Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI) in Taroona are hoping fishers will report catches of tagged rock lobsters on the new 2007 tagged lobster reporting card. “These tagged rock lobsters have been translocated from deeper waters, often in the south of Tasmania,” researcher Dr Bridget Green said. “We are in the third year of trialling the effect of moving rock lobsters from deeper to shallower water. “So far we know that it results in bigger, redder lobsters – and these are the ones of most value to the commercial fishery and most prized by recreational fishers. Survival of translocated lobsters is similar to resident lobsters.” People who catch tagged crays are asked to fill in details on the reporting card so researchers can track the changes in growth and survival of translocated lobsters. There is also an added incentive for fishers: “Every reported tag puts the fisher in the running for one of our prizes in bi-monthly tag lotto – cash, fishing or boating gear, or wine,” Dr Green said. The recreational rock lobster fishing season opened on November 3. Information Released by: The Media Office, University of Tasmania Phone: 6226 2124 Mobile: 0417 517 291 Email: [email protected] Fast facts on translocated rock lobsters Research Time Line: Trials in translocating rock lobsters began in 2005 in Tasmania, South Australia and Victoria, funded through the Fisheries Resource and Development Corporation.

Bush Blitz is a multi-million dollar partnership between the Australian Government, BHP Billiton Sustainable Communities and Earthwatch Australia to document plants and animals in selected properties across Australia. This innovative partnership harnesses the expertise of many of Australia’s top scientists from museums, herbaria, universities, and other institutions and organisations across the country. Abbreviations ABRS Australian Biological Resources Study ANIC Australian National Insect Collection EPBC Act Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Commonwealth) TMAG Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery TSP Act Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 (Tasmania) UNSW University of New South Wales Page 2 of 32 Flinders Island, Tasmania 20–30 March 2014 Summary From 20–30 March 2014, a Bush Blitz survey was conducted on Flinders Island in Bass Strait. The island has eight reserves, including Strzelecki National Park. Flinders Island is one of the remaining parts of the land bridge between the Australian mainland and Tasmania. This history, plus the wide range of habitats from mountains to open shrubland and coastal areas, means that the island is highly diverse. The Bush Blitz survey recorded 862 species, 643 of which had not been recorded previously for the reserves. Thirty-nine species that may be new to science were identified, including 33 invertebrate species (3 moths, 1 beetle, 6 true bugs and 23 spiders) and 6 lichen species. One moth and 10 plant species listed under Tasmania’s Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 (TSP Act) were also collected.
