  • Conservation Advice and Transferred This Species from the Endangered to Vulnerable Category, Effective from 04/07/2019
    THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister approved this conservation advice and transferred this species from the Endangered to Vulnerable category, effective from 04/07/2019 Conservation Advice Litoria dayi (Lace-eyed Tree Frog) Taxonomy Conventionally accepted as Litoria dayi (Gunther 1897). Litoria dayi (Lace-eyed Tree Frog) was recently transferred to the genus Litoria from the genus Nyctimystes after Kraus (2013) showed that it did not meet the morphological characteristics for assignment to that genus (Cogger 2014). Summary of assessment Conservation status Vulnerable: Criterion 2 B1 and B2 (a),(b)(i,ii) The highest category for which Litoria dayi is eligible to be listed is Vulnerable. Litoria dayi has been found to be eligible for listing under the following categories: Criterion 2: B1 and B2 (a),(b)(i,ii): Vulnerable Litoria dayi has been found to be eligible for listing under the Vulnerable category. The species was eligible for listing under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999) (EPBC Act) as on 16 July 2000 it was listed as Endangered under Schedule 1 of the preceding Act, the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). Following a formal review of the listing status of the Lace-eyed Tree Frog, the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) has determined that there is evidence that the species has stabilised but has not undergone any demonstrable recovery since being listed; and that there is sufficient evidence to support a change of status of the species to Vulnerable under the EPBC Act but not to delist the species.

The solar panels, wind turbines and rainwater tanks that power and quench this island are hidden from view. And the beach shacks are illusory, for though Pumpkin Island has been used by families and fishermen since 1964, it has been recently reimagined by managers Wayne and Laureth Rumble as a stylish, eco- conscious island escape. The couple has incorporated all the elements of a casual beach holiday – troughs in which to rinse your sandy feet, barbecues on which to grill freshly caught fish and shucking knives for easy dislodgement of oysters from the nearby rocks – without sacrificing any modern comforts. Pumpkin Island’s seven self-catering cottages and bungalows (accommodating up to six people) are distinguished from one another by unique decorative touches: candy-striped deckchairs slung from hooks on a distressed weatherboard wall; linen bedclothes in this cottage, waffle-weave in that; mint-green accents here, blue over there.
