Part 2 of this LSP is for explanatory purposes only, in order to provide a descriptive analysis of the LSP. 4.2 In the event of there being any inconsistencies or conflict between the provisions, standards or requirements of the Scheme and the provisions, standards or requirements of this LSP, then the provisions, standards or requirements of the Scheme shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency. Draft 5.0 Operation Date In accordance with sub-clause 5.18.6 of the Scheme, this LSP shall come into operation when it is adopted by the Shire pursuant to sub- clause 5.18.6.1. 6.0 Zones, Reserves and Residential Density Codes The LSP delineates and depicts the zones, reserves and residential density codes applicable to the LSP area according to the legend thereon. 2 OCM275.3/12/15 The zones, reserves and residential density codes designated under this LSP apply to the land within it as if they were incorporated in the Scheme. Subdivision and development shall generally be in accordance with the LSP or any variations as approved by the Shire and the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). An overlay plan will be required for all sites coded R5 at 'street block' level, demonstrating how the higher densities can be achieved in the future if and when reticulated sewerage becomes available. 7.0 Provisions 7.1 Local Development Plans (LDPs) (formerly referred to as Detailed Area Plans) shall be prepared for certain significantly located or irregularly shaped residential lots within the LSP area. Such lots requiring LDPs are identified under part 7.4.1 Local Development Plans of the LSP. Information detailed in a LDP may include, but is not limited to: Building Envelopes; Setbacks; Building Orientation; Vehicle and Pedestrian Access Arrangements; Retention of Vegetation; Fencing; Development Provisions; and Building protection/hazard reduction. 7.2 The implementation of the LSP will be facilitated through development and subdivision approvals which may be required to include wider contextual analysis. Where necessary, planning consideration should include elements of development outside of the LSP area. 7.3 Development proposalsDraft that comply with the provisions of this LSP or an approved LDP are exempt from obtaining Planning Approval under Clause 5.1.2. of the Scheme. Separate Planning Approval obtained through the lodgement of a Development Application shall only be required if variations to the proposed LDP are proposed. 7.4 The implementation of the LSP will be facilitated through development and subdivision approvals which shall generally conform to the LSP. Applications shall generally comply with the Character Statement and Development Principles listed in the following sub-section: 7.4.1 Local Development Plans (LDPs) LDPs are required for but not limited to the following lots contained within the LSP: 3 OCM275.3/12/15 Richardson Street (Lot 84; Lot 1; Lot 82; part of Lot 14; part of Lot 12; part of Lot 10) Reason – Adjacent to Bush Forever, proximity to railway line and abuts public open space / drainage. Karnup Road (part of Lot 17; part of Lot 18) Reason – Irregular lot shape. Rudall Street (part of Lot 102) Reason – Abuts public open space / drainage. Arnold Road (Lot 98; part of Lot 106) Reason – Abuts public open space / drainage. 7.4.2 Character Statement The development and subdivision of land within the LSP area will be undertaken over an extended timeframe during which the Townsite will evolve as a significant community, commercial and civic locality in the Shire. Whilst cognisant of the land’s urban zoning which will facilitate the development of the area as a modern contemporary neighbourhood, it is equally important that the site’s character and rural history is captured and reflected in the LSP. 7.4.3 Visual Amenity and View Corridors The visual amenity and view corridors within the subject area have been considered in the context of the current landscape within the LSP area. The main view corridors are facing the Darling Scarp, Serpentine River and the Serpentine Sports Reserve which could all contribute to public amenity. In general, the study area has a gentle undulating topography with vegetation present along most of the boundaries. 7.4.4 Community Design Principles Draft The LSP is intended as a guide for future urban development with the objective of generally identifying appropriate locations for housing types and densities whilst permitting flexibility to ensure the delivery of a diverse range of dwelling styles. 7.4.5 Biodiversity Principles The primary objective of the Shire’s Local Biodiversity Strategy is to maintain and enhance natural vegetation, living streams and biodiversity throughout the Shire where possible. It specifies the aim of incorporating biodiversity conservation values as a guide to development assessment. 7.4.6 Solar Design and Resource Efficiency Principles 4 OCM275.3/12/15 Lot layout through subdivision and the construction of dwellings and ancillary development needs to be orientated to maximise opportunities for solar passive design and energy

  • Integrated Approach to Nitrogen Fixing Tree Germplasm Development
    INTEGRATED APPROACH TO NITROGEN FIXING TREE GERMPLASM DEVELOPMENT JAKE HALLIDAY' ABSTRACT - The performance of nitrogen fixing trees introduced to new environments depends on proper reconstitution of the symbiotic associatioi on which the trees rely for their nutrition. Thus selection strategies employed to identify adapted g.rmplasm for particular sites must provide for three-way selection of seed, rhiobia and mycorrhizae. Selected lines must then be multiplied before they can be deployed in varying types of development programs. Speciai problems are faced in accomplishing these ends with virtually all nitrogen fixing tr-es. Results and experiences are described which emphasize the importance of parallel selection of plant germplasm and Rhizobiurn strains. '.n the case of VA mycorrhizae, effective symbioses can occur without specific inoculation. Methods for selecting and multiplying trees and their microsymbionts on a large scale are described and discussed. Index terms: mycorrhiza technology, Rhizobium technology, nitrogen fixing trees, plant selection, seed technology.

  • Version 2 Targeted Threatened Flora Search Proposed Demonstration Trail Mount Clarence Albany
    Unit 5A 209 Chester Pass Road Albany WA 6330 9842 1575 [email protected] ABN 48 138 824 272 Job Ref: COA011 7th December 2016 Sandra Maciejewski Reserves Officer City of Albany PO Box 484 Albany WA 6331 Updated Report – Version 2 Targeted Threatened Flora Search Proposed Demonstration Trail Mount Clarence Albany Dear Sandra, On the 26th October 2016 Botanists/Ecologist, Karlene Bain and Bianca Theyer (Bio Diverse Solutions) undertook a targeted linear threatened flora search of 840m for a proposed mountain bike alignment at Mount Clarence, City of Albany (refer to Attachment A for the survey area). This survey was required as there was potential for threatened flora to be present within the subject area and there is proposed clearing of native vegetation as part of the proposed bike trail. The scope of work included: Undertake Targeted Flora Survey across subject site through linear sampling (10m buffer) in vegetation types present and mapping of boundaries of vegetation; Undertake any identification of any flora species, including herbarium identification if required; GPS and map any populations of Threatened Species (if applicable); and Prepare brief report on findings as per appropriate government agency legislation and guidelines. It is noted this survey was undertaken during the spring flowering period. The threatened flora search of the linear bike trail found that the Mount Clarence reserve is a diverse habitat with four vegetation types mapped, being: 1. Granite outcrop and fringing Taxandria shrub land; 2. Tall Gastrolobium shrub land; 3. Open Jarrah/ Marri woodland; and 4. Coastal heath. In November 2016 an occurrence of Stylidium falcatum (P1) was found (5 plants) on laterite soils associated with a cleared alignment for a powerline, on the edge of the jarrah/ marri ecotype.

We compared floral presentation, pollen-pistil interactions, pollination ecology, and interspecific hybridization in two populations of T. macrophylla where its flowering periods overlapped with T. antennifera (Tenterden) and T. crinita (Lesmurdie) respectively. Pollen-pistil interactions were studied using glasshouse collections of T. crinita and T. macrophylla at KPBG. The number of flowers per inflorescence in T. macrophylla varied significantly between sites. Climatic conditions influenced flower opening and closing regimes differently in T. crinita vs. T. macrophylla. While all three Thelymitra species opened on warm, sunny mornings and closed by late afternoon, T. crinita at Lesmurdie was significantly more likely to open its perianth segments on cool days compared to the co-blooming, sympatric flowers of T. macrophylla. The floral lifespans of individual flowers of T. macrophylla and T. crinita were reduced significantly following application of Thelymitra pollen onto the stigmatic surface but were not reduced by pollinarium removal. Flowers of both species were self-compatible but neither species self-pollinated mechanically (autogamy).
