  • Aquatic Root Mat Community Number 1 of Caves of the Swan Coastal Plain
    Aquatic Root Mat Community Number 1 of Caves of the Swan Coastal Plain TEC Description The community occurs in caves at sites that include Yanchep National Park and surrounds. It comprises root mats of Eucalyptus gomphocephala (tuart) supported by groundwater fed streams and pools that occur in the caves. The root mats support a highly diverse and distinctive assemblage of cave fauna including the critically endangered Crystal Cave Crangonyctoid Hurleya sp. (cave shrimp). Distribution Seven caves are documented and distributed over a range of ~4km, the majority located within Yanchep National Park, north of Perth. Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) Region: Swan DBCA District: Swan Coastal Local Government Authority: City of Wanneroo Habitat Requirements Caves that contain the community occur at Yanchep occur where sandy soils underlie superficial limestone and where the waters of the Gnangara Mound seep through the sand to form a system of subterranean pools and streams. The persistence of the root mat communities depends on the presence of permanent water in caves and the persistence of tuart. The streams or pools need to be sufficiently warm, and not too far below the ground- surface, for tree roots to reach and grow in the water (Jasinska 1995). Indigenous Interests An Aboriginal Sites Register is kept by the Department of Indigenous Affairs and lists the caves as significant sites. Two registered sites also occur within the vicinity of the occurrences. The South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC), an umbrella group, covers the areas in which the community occurs. Traditional owner group: Whadjuk. Conservation Status Listed as critically endangered under WA Minister Environmentally Sensitive Areas list in policy.

  • Supplementary Papers CONTENTS
    \ Department of Conservation and Land Management, WA Yanchep National Park "',,.· DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN APRIL 1988 Supplementary Papers CONTENTS: Supplementary Paper No. 1 1 Responses received from letters and comment forms. Supplementary Paper No. 2 7 Visitor survey. Supplementary Paper No. 3 31 Public Workshop. SUPPLEMENTARY PAPERS INTRODUCTION These papers supplement the draft m&nagement plan for Yanchep National Park, and provide for summary of th~ public participation involved with the preparation of the plan. In relevant sections throughout the draft management plan overall results and specific comments are included as part of the background information, combining all asp~cts of public comment. It is a requirement under the CALM Act (1984) that public comment be invited on draft management plans. However it is now practice also to seek public comment and participation during the preparation of the draft management plans. This enables planning to be responsive to public feeling and atcitudes throughout the planning process. Since Yanchep National Park is such a popular and well known Park, public comment and information on visitor use has been sought extensively. Much of the direction of the management plan, and specific objectives and strategies, took the information collected into account. Public participation for the preparation of this plan involved: letters sent to 300 individuals and organisations; a display and pamphlets in the Park office; advertisements in the local papers; signs in the Park; a visitor survey; a public workshop; and forms were available in the Park office for people wishing to make a written comment while in the Park. Table 1 is a summary of the main issues raised and the general responses.

  • YANCHEP NATIONAL PARK — DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN 2010 Motion MR J.R
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 28 March 2012] p1526a-1528a Mr John Quigley YANCHEP NATIONAL PARK — DRAFT MANAGEMENT PLAN 2010 Motion MR J.R. QUIGLEY (Mindarie) [6.35 pm]: I move — That this house condemns the Barnett government for its neglect of Yanchep National Park, its failure to finalise the Yanchep National Park draft management plan of 2010 and its failure to implement the recommendations contained therein. In the past two days, I have spoken about Yanchep National Park to a number of this chamber’s members outside the chamber and everyone has said, “Ah, yes; I remember it. I went there 20 years ago to go boating on the lake.” That is the lake known as Loch McNess. Yanchep National Park is situated in the northern part of my electorate and, obviously, in Yanchep. It is a unique national park. The caves in the park were discovered by Henry White in 1902, but the park as a recreational facility per se was really developed in the 1930s. Those who have visited the park would be aware of Gloucester Lodge and Crystal Cave, which was developed in the late 30s for the Royal Ball when the Duke of Gloucester visited and the ball held was conducted in Crystal Cave. We could not do what was done to the cave in preparation for that ball because they concreted the floor and some of the walls, as well as installed a seat all the way around the cave. Nonetheless, that having been done, it remains a unique part of the cave system in Yanchep National Park.

  • The Importance of Caves at Yanchep, Western Australia, with a Comment on Caye Research
    CA YE LEEUWIN 1991 - Page 55 THE IMPORTANCE OF CAVES AT YANCHEP, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, WITH A COMMENT ON CAYE RESEARCH. EJ. JASINSKA and B. KNOIT Zoology Department, UniveISity of Western Australia, NEDLANDS 6009. Abstract; AdventurelS, explorelS, and people with interest in the outdoolS - speleologists fit admirably into all these categories - typically fmd especial excitement in remote places. ~ually valid is the adage that many points of interest lie close to home. So it is with our bnef story today. Yanchep National Park is only 50km from Perth, about an hour's drive north of the city centre. Its close proximity to a major urban environment forms part of the reason for our interest in the area. Nevertheless, it is appropriate to begin this account with a description of the caves at Yanchep. The Australian Karst Index (Matthews, 1985) lists 80 caves at Yanchep, although based on current knowledge the list is far from complete. Speleologists acquainted with the area have been forecasting over quite a few years that many more caves remain to be discovered and we gather these predictions are indeed being realized. Clearly, Matthews' excellent compilation is ready to be updated! The Yanchep caves occur in an aeolian calcarenite called Tamala limestone. Playford (1983) suggested that on Rottnest Island the oldest Tamala sediments date from the times of the Riss Glaciation (pleistocene), and the youngest from the Flandarian (Holocene) transgression. However, the Tamala limestone is strongly diachronous throughout its extent (Wyrwoll and King, 1984) and thus it is not easy to correlate simply the age of Tamala limestone at Yanchep with the age of the Rottnest samples.
