    ASSESSMENT OF WETLAND INVERTEBRATE AND FISH BIODIVERSITY FOR THE GNANGARA SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY (GSS) Bea Sommer, Pierre Horwitz and Pauline Hewitt Centre for Ecosystem Management Edith Cowan University, Joondalup WA 6027 Final Report to the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation November 2008 Assessment of wetland invertebrate and fish biodiversity for the GSS (Final Report) November 2008 This document has been commissioned/produced as part of the Gnangara Sustainability Strategy (GSS). The GSS is a State Government initiative which aims to provide a framework for a whole of government approach to address land use and water planning issues associated with the Gnangara groundwater system. For more information go to www.gnangara.water.wa.gov.au i Assessment of wetland invertebrate and fish biodiversity for the GSS (Final Report) November 2008 Executive Summary This report sought to review existing sources of information for aquatic fauna on the Gnangara Mound in order to: • provide a synthesis of the richness, endemism, rarity and habitat specificity of aquatic invertebrates in wetlands; • identify gaps in aquatic invertebrate data on the Gnangara Mound; • provide a synthesis of the status of freshwater fishes on the Gnangara Mound; • assess the management options for the conservation of wetlands and wetland invertebrates. The compilation of aquatic invertebrate taxa recorded from wetlands on both the Gnangara Mound and Jandakot Mound) between 1977 and 2003, from 18 studies of 66 wetlands, has revealed a surprisingly high richness considering the comparatively small survey area and the degree of anthropogenic alteration of the plain. The total of over 550 taxa from 176 families or higher order taxonomic levels could be at least partially attributed to sampling effort.

  • Landcorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey
    LandCorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey October 2016 Executive summary Introduction Through the Royalties for Regions “Growing our South” initiative, the Shire of Denmark has received funding to provide a second crossing of the Denmark River, to upgrade approximately 6.5 km of local roads and to support the delivery of an industrial estate adjacent to McIntosh Road. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was commissioned by LandCorp to undertake a biological assessment of the project survey area. The purpose of the assessment was to identify and describe flora, vegetation and fauna within the survey area. The outcomes of the assessment will be used in the environmental assessment and approvals process and will identify the possible need for, and scope of, further field investigations will inform environmental impact assessment of the road upgrades. The survey area is approximately 68.5 ha in area and includes a broad area of land between Scotsdale Road and the Denmark River and the road reserve and adjacent land along East River Road and McIntosh Road between the Denmark Mt Barker Road and South Western Highway. A 200 m section north and south along the Denmark Mt Barker Road from East River Road was also surveyed. The biological assessment involved a desktop review and three separate field surveys, including a winter flora and fauna survey, spring flora and fauna survey and spring nocturnal fauna survey. Fauna surveys also included the use of movement sensitive cameras in key locations. Key biological aspects The key biological aspects and constraints identified for the survey area are summarised in the following table.

  • Chapter 5: Protecting Wetlands a Guide to Managing and Restoring Wetlands in Western Australia Chapter 5: Protecting Wetlands
    A guide to managing and restoring wetlands in Western Australia Roles and responsibilities In Chapter 5: Protecting wetlands A guide to managing and restoring wetlands in Western Australia Chapter 5: Protecting wetlands Introduction to the guide Western Australia’s unique and diverse wetlands are rich in ecological and cultural values and form an integral part of the natural environment of the state. A guide to managing and restoring wetlands in Western Australia (the guide) provides information about the nature of WA’s wetlands, and practical guidance on how to manage and restore them for nature conservation. The focus of the guide is natural ‘standing’ wetlands that retain conservation value. Wetlands not addressed in this guide include waterways, estuaries, tidal and artifi cial wetlands. The guide consists of multiple topics within fi ve chapters. These topics are available in PDF format free of charge from the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) website at www.dec.wa.gov.au/wetlandsguide. The guide is a DEC initiative. Topics of the guide have predominantly been prepared by the department’s Wetlands Section with input from reviewers and contributors from a wide range of fi elds and sectors. Through the guide and other initiatives, DEC seeks to assist individuals, groups and organisations to manage the state’s wetlands for nature conservation. The development of the guide has received funding from the Australian Government, the Government of Western Australia, DEC and the Department of Planning. It has received the support of the Western Australian Wetlands Coordinating Committee, the state’s peak wetland conservation policy coordinating body.
