  • Leschenault Peninsula Management Plan 1998-2008
    LESCHENAULT PENINSULA MANAGEMENT PLAN 1998-2008 Department of Conservation and Land Management for The National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority Perth, Western Australia 1998 PREFACE This management plan proposes that Leschenault Peninsula be managed in accordance with the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984 (CALM Act) and in accordance with the criteria outlined in CALM's Central Forest Region's Regional Management Plan. Conservation parks are vested in the National Parks and Nature Conservation Authority (NPNCA) and managed by the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM). The NPNCA is responsible for preparing management plans for all lands vested in it, including conservation parks. These plans are prepared by CALM for the NPNCA and released as management plans for public comment. With the agreement of the Leschenault Peninsula Community Advisory Committee and consistent with the CALM Act and the criteria for management of conservation parks, much of the recreation development work has commenced. This plan seeks community input and feedback to guide development of the Park from this point on. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The draft of this Management Plan (CALM, 1995) was prepared and written by Paul de Tores and Suzanne Rosier and edited by Richard Grant. It was prepared with significant contribution from the former Leschenault Peninsula Technical Committee, comprising Noel Ashcroft (DRD and Chairman), Milka Klobucar (DRD), Sir Donald Eckersley (LIMA), Eric Wright (LIMA), Roger Freeman (WRC), John Quilty (Quilty Environmental Consulting, formerly DRD and former chairman of the Technical Committee), Harry Walta (Environmental Field Services and formerly LIMA), Charles Lockwood (HSC), Bob Chandler, Paul de Tores and Scott Wood (CALM).

  • Unearthing the Opportunities for Geotourism Contained Within the Building Stones of the Quality Lighthouse Hotel, Bunbury, Western Australia
    Unearthing the opportunities for geotourism contained within the building stones of the Quality Lighthouse Hotel, Bunbury, Western Australia. Samantha J. Richards BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE This thesis is presented for Bachelor of Science honours in Environmental Management and Sustainability College of Science, Health, Engineering and Education Murdoch University 1 2020 I declare that: a) The thesis is an account of my own research, except where other sources are acknowledged. b) The extent to which the work of others has contributed to the thesis is clearly stated in each chapter and certified by my supervisor. c) The thesis contains as its main content, work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any other university. Samantha Richards ORCID ID: 0000-0003-3879-7097 2 Acknowledgements Associate Professor David Newsome Thank you for allowing me to take part in the writing of a book chapter for Routledge’s Tourism Cities and having confidence in my ability to produce an interesting and readable manuscript despite having limited geotourism knowledge at the time. Thank you for entrusting me with addressing the reviewer’s comments in our Geoheritage journal article, these experiences have been invaluable to my educational growth. Finally thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge of Geotourism during the writing of my thesis, book chapter and journal article. Professor Neil Lonergan and Dr James Tweedley The independent study unit I completed with you which required me to write the report “Maximising survival of restocked prawns in the Swan-Canning Estuary: determining the influence of habitat on predation (2015)” taught me how to write a detailed scientific report to publishable standard (HD) and gave me a glimmer of what I might be capable of in the future.

  • Peripheral Wetland Habitats and Vegetation of the Leschenault Inlet Estuary
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 83: 293-316, 2000 Peripheral wetland habitats and vegetation of the Leschenault Inlet estuary L Pen1, V Semeniuk2 and C A Semeniuk2 1Water & Rivers Commission, Hyatt Centre, 3 Plain Street, Perth WA 6000 email: [email protected] 2V & C Semeniuk Research Group, 21 Glenmere Road, Warwick WA 6024 Abstract Along the Leschenault Inlet estuary shore, interactions between ancestral landforms comprising the eastern shores, dune dynamics and the young western barrier dune shore, hydrodynamic processes, estuarine coastal processes, estuarine sedimentation, and a variable Holocene sealevel history, have resulted in a varied peripheral shore and wetland types. The shoreline habitats include supratidal tidal flats (vegetated dominantly by samphire), high tidal platforms (vegetated dominantly by samphire or rushes), tidal embayments (residing between dune corridors), high tidal platforms and dune interfaces, in zones of freshwater seepage (vegetated dominantly by rushes), cliffed sandy shores where coastal erosion is incising into dunes, steep dune shores where dunes are encroaching into the estuary, beachridges, spits, bar-and-lagoon complexes, stranded (relict) sand platforms, the Collie style deltaic complex, and the Preston style deltaic complex. Five broad categories of vegetation fringe the Leschenault Inlet estuary, classified on structure, salinity of habitat, and location relative to shore: 1) saltmarsh; 2) estuarine fringing forest; 3) fringing vegetation; 4) sandy rise vegetation; and 5) freshwater vegetation (forest and disturbance-related assemblages). Saltmarshes, comprising samphire and rush formations, develop in saline tidal areas. Estuarine fringing forest, typically small saltwater sheoak (Casuarina obesa), saltwater paperbark (Melaleuca cuticularis), paperbark (Melaleuca viminea), and swamp paperbark (Melaleuca rhaphiophylla), occurs as elevation increases and where soilwater salinity is not extreme.
