Signature: Peter Taylor Date: October 2020 Peter Taylor B.Sc. MEIANZ CIAg LAA. Director SMK Consultants v EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This development proposal has been prepared by SMK Consultants on behalf of Johnstone Concrete and Landscape Supplies Pty Ltd (“the Applicant”) to support the expansion of the existing “Wandoona” quarry footprint. The current footprint extends over approximately 2 Ha and it is proposed to increase the footprint size to a total area of 12.6 Ha, including roads and associated temporary infrastructure. Applicant: Johnstone Concrete and Quarries Pty Ltd 35 Drive In Road Moree, NSW 2400 Owner: Wandoona Pty Ltd 35 Drive In Road Moree, NSW 2400 Land involved: Lot 5 in Deposited Plan 236547 Local Government Authority: Moree Plains Shire Council Zoning: ‘RU1’ – Primary Production under the Moree Plains LEP 2011 Development Type: Designated and Integrated Development Development Description: Expansion of Existing Quarry Footprint Capital Investment Value: $80,000 Approvals and Licences The following approvals are required to amend operations at the existing quarry at Wave Hill: • Development Approval for Regional Development – Extractive Industry from the Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP) under the State Environmental Planning Policy (State and Regional Development) 2011. • Environmental Protection Licence from the NSW Environment Protection Authority issued under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act (1997). Background Johnstone Concrete & Quarries (JCQ) currently operate a sand and gravel quarry on the property of “Wandoona” near Moree. The current consent conditions for the site enable a vi maximum extraction limit of 29,000 cubic metres of material per annum over a limited footprint of approximately 2 Ha with a 40 metre minimum buffer distance between operational areas and the adjoining Mehi River. The current operations are confined to the south-eastern section of the property. The average annual extracted quantity is in the order of 15,000 tonnes at present. The resource material available on the site extends outside of the approved footprint of the development. In order to ensure that the site operation can continue to expand to meet regional sand and gravel resource demands, the Proponent proposes to extend the current footprint to secure a reliable long-term supply of materials. The annual extraction limit would remain the same. The Proposed Development The proposed development involves extending the footprint of the existing sand pit extraction area and extracting the ridge gravel resource which is available on Wandoona. The annual tonnage or method of extraction will not be altered. The access road will utilise the existing gravelled road around the eastern and northern perimeter of the property in replace of the current central access road. The proposal will also include reusing the wash water generated from the sieving plant for irrigation of various crops. Other operational activities would also need to be changed. The intended hours of operation would remain the same. The limit on the number of truck trips per day would need to be increased to enable materials to be moved from the site in bulk amount rather than smaller constant amounts on a daily basis. Extension of the gravel quarry footprint triggers several parameters relating to Schedule 3 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (The Act). Primarily, the proposed development would extend beyond the limit of 2 hectares in total area. The haul road is located within 40 metres of the Mehi River bank over a short distance. Both of these dimensions trigger the provisions of the Act to classify the development proposal as Designated development. The land included in this proposal comprises Lot 5 DP 236547. The subject land is owned by the Directors of the Proponent (Wandoona Pty Ltd). The quarry has been utilised by Moree Plains Shire Council (MPSC) and private developers for several decades, until regular extraction ceased approximately ten years ago. The historical extraction of gravel from this site occurred without a consent from the local Council as this was not needed when the original extractive works commenced. The Proponent purchased the property in about 2013-14 for the purpose of obtaining sand for their ready mixed concrete and aggregate business. The Proponent lodged a development vii application for a non-designated sand and gravel extraction enterprise. Moree Plains Council issued development consent 2014-58 for the extraction and sieving of aggregate from the site. The project involved establishing a portable sand sieve plant on a raised pad, installation of a river pump under a DPI Water works approval and extraction of gravel and sand material from within the initial extraction area. The extraction operation commenced once an occupation certificate was issued. JCQ wishes to extend the Quarry footprint to the west and north of the current extraction area. Additionally, an area of “ridge gravel” has been uncovered at an old pit on the southwest corner of the property. The extraction of this material is included in this current proposal. A plan showing the potential long-term extension of the gravel extraction area is presented as Plan 1. The extended area has been previously cultivated and cropped. The trees within the footprint of the extended areas will be preserved with appropriate buffers. The proposal intends to reuse water from the sieving operation through a centre pivot for production of various crops including lucerne hay. The approximate location of this centre pivot area is indicated on Plan 1. The pivot will be mobile to provide flexibility in cropping arrangements. Under the existing approval, JCQ’s extraction limit is set at 29,000m3 of sand and gravel from this site in any one year. The annual average is predicted to be in the order of 15,000 tonnes. In exceptional circumstances including flood damage repairs etc., additional extraction may occur, but this would be limited to less than 29,000m3 per annum. The resource available on the site indicates a life span of 30-years or more. The proposal is Designated development under the provisions of the NSW Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and requires development consent from

    Wednesday Walk – Wanniassa Hills – 24 June 2015 The walk was on the western side of Wanniassa Hills with great views to the Murrumbidgee Corridor and beyond. To return, we crossed under Erindale Drive and walked back on Farrer Ridge. We found great displays of Leucopogon attenuatus and Cryptandra sp. Floriferous (aka C. amara var. floribunda) in full flower - hillsides of the L. attenuatus in fact. They gave off a lovely honey perfume. There were a few flowers on Acacia ulicifolia and A. gunnii and we saw the first Hovea heterophylla of the season, flowering, as well as Indigofera australis. As always, the trees were amazing - some very old Eucalyptus polyanthemos, some supporting big clumps of Amyema miquelii and a couple of Muellerina eucalyptoides on one. We added a few new species to our already long list - Arthropodium minus, Carex appressa, Glycine tabacina, Monotoca scoparia and Thelymitra sp.

    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.

  • New England Peppermint (Eucalyptus Nova-Anglica) Grassy

    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.

    A Regional Examination of the Mistletoe Host Species Inventory

    354 Cunninghamia 8(3): 2004 Downey, Examination of the mistletoe host inventory A regional examination of the mistletoe host species inventory Paul Owen Downey Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research, CSIRO Plant Industry, GPO Box 1600, Canberra, ACT 2601, AUSTRALIA. Present Address Institute of Conservation Biology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522 AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Abstract: Downey (1998) collated an inventory of mistletoe host species based on herbaria records for every aerial mistletoe species (families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae) in Australia. In this paper the representative nature of those host lists is examined in an extensive field survey of mistletoes and their host species in south-eastern New South Wales (including Australian Capital Territory). Four new host species not in the 1998 inventory, and eight new mistletoe-host combinations (i.e. a previously recorded host but not for that particular mistletoe species) were collected. These new records were distributed throughout the survey area. Interestingly, these new host-mistletoe combinations were for mistletoe species that were well represented in the national inventory (i.e. with many herbarium collections and numerous host species). The initial inventory was incomplete, at least for south-eastern New South Wales, indicating the need for (i) more targeted surveys similar to this one, and/or (ii) regular updates of the host inventory based on voucher specimens. A possible reasons why information on host-mistletoe combinations is incomplete may be that such combinations may be dynamic (i.e. mistletoe species may be expanding their suite of potential hosts, either fortuitously or as result of evolutionary pressures).

It was initially listed in the Endangered category in 1997 (refer to the Listing Background section below). While the community has not necessarily become more threatened in the ACT since the original listing, the transfer to Critically Endangered recognises the ACT’s responsibility at the national level to preserve the nation’s largest and best connected remnants of the community. The threatened Yellow Box – Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland in the ACT is encompassed in the ‘White Box – Yellow Box – Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland’ ecological community listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwth) (EPBC Act).
