  • YELLOW BOX–BLAKELY's RED GUM GRASSY WOODLAND Action Plan
    YELLOW BOX–BLAKELY’S RED GUM GRASSY WOODLAND ENDANGERED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN PART B 111 PREAMBLE Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland was declared an endangered ecological community on 19 May 1997 (Instrument No. DI1997-89 Nature Conservation Act 1980; Appendix A). Under section 101 of the Nature Conservation Act 2014, the Conservator of Flora and Fauna is responsible for preparing a draft action plan for listed ecological communities. The first action plan for this ecological community was prepared in 1999 (ACT Government 1999). This revised edition supersedes all previous editions. In this action plan, ‘Endangered YB-BRG Woodland’ refers specifically to remnants of the federally listed (EPBC Act 1999) Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland endangered ecological community. Reference to ‘YB-BRG Woodland’ encompasses areas of Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland that may not meet all criteria for listing as an endangered ecological community, but contain critical components of the community, thereby retaining biodiversity values worthy of management action. Measures proposed in this action plan complement those proposed in the action plans for Natural Temperate Grassland, and for component threatened species that occur in Box-Gum woodland: Small Purple Pea (Swainsona recta), Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsonii), and Tarengo Leek Orchid (Prasophyllum petilum), available at the ACT Government’s Environment website. CONSERVATION CONSERVATION STATUS OBJECTIVES Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland is The overarching goal of this action plan is to conserve declared a threatened ecological community according Endangered Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy to the following legislation: Woodland (hereafter Endangered YB-BRG Woodland) in perpetuity as a viable ecological community across its → National: Environment Protection and Biodiversity geographic range in the ACT.

    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister/ Delegate of the Minister on: 3/07/2008. Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Pultenaea baeuerlenii (Budawangs Bush-pea) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Pultenaea baeuerlenii, Family Fabaceae, also known as Budawangs Bush-pea, is a small erect shrub growing from 60 cm to 1.5 m tall (Leigh et al., 1984; Harden, 1991; de Kok & West, 2003). The ‘egg and bacon’ orange and yellow pea-shaped flowers form dense clusters at the ends of branches (DECC, 2005). Flowering occurs mainly from October to December, but has also been observed in autumn (Leigh et al., 1984; de Kok & West, 2003; DECC, 2005). Fruiting occurs from January to March (Leigh et al., 1984; de Kok & West, 2003). Conservation status Budawangs Bush-pea is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as vulnerable under Schedule 1 to the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The species is also listed as vulnerable under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and habitat Budawangs Bush-pea is confined to the Budawang Range, Southern Tablelands, NSW (Harden, 1991). The species is known from only four sites in Morton and Budawang National Parks – Mt Currockbilly, Bhundoo Hill, Burrumbeet Brook and Corang Trig (DECC, 2005).

  • New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus Nova-Anglica) Grassy
    Advice to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee on an Amendment to the List of Threatened Ecological Communities under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Name of the ecological community New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Grassy Woodlands This advice follows the assessment of two public nominations to list the ‘New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Woodlands on Sediment on the Northern Tablelands’ and the ‘New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Woodlands on Basalt on the Northern Tablelands’ as threatened ecological communities under the EPBC Act. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) recommends that the national ecological community be renamed New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Grassy Woodlands. The name reflects the fact that the definition of the ecological community has been expanded to include all grassy woodlands dominated or co-dominated by Eucalyptus nova-anglica (New England Peppermint), in New South Wales and Queensland. Also the occurrence of the ecological community extends beyond the New England Tableland Bioregion, into adjacent areas of the New South Wales North Coast and the Nandewar bioregions. Part of the national ecological community is listed as endangered in New South Wales, as ‘New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus nova-anglica) Woodland on Basalts and Sediments in the New England Tableland Bioregion’ (NSW Scientific Committee, 2003); and, as an endangered Regional Ecosystem in Queensland ‘RE 13.3.2 Eucalyptus nova-anglica ± E. dalrympleana subsp. heptantha open-forest or woodland’ (Qld Herbarium, 2009). 2. Public Consultation A technical workshop with experts on the ecological community was held in 2005.

The main reasons for this Ecological Community being eligible are that it has undergone a very large historical reduction in geographic distribution (since approximately 1750) and has experienced disruption of biotic processes of relative severity >90% over more than 90% of its distribution since 1750. Description White Box – Yellow Box – Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland comprises an aggregation of Grassy Woodlands (sensu Keith 2004) occurring on the tablelands and western slopes of the Great Diving Range from the Darling Downs in southern Queensland south to central Victoria. In NSW, the community corresponds broadly with Keith’s (2004) Western Slopes Grassy Woodlands, Southern Tableland Grassy Woodlands and New England Grassy Woodlands classes.
