Sales to prepare a response to the Commonwealth Department of the Environment (DoE) request for Preliminary Documentation for the Ravenhall Industrial Precinct (the study area) (EPBC 2015/7486). It has been determined that the proposed action to develop an industrial development at Ravenhall, Victoria will have a significant impact on ‘Listed threatened species and communities (section 18 & section 18A)’ which is protected under Part 3 of the EPBC Act. It has also been determined that the proposed action will be assessed by preliminary documentation. The following information is additional to that outlined in the EPBC Act referral, as requested by DoE. It must be noted that the entire information request has been included (below), with responses provided in sections titled ‘Response’. 2 Description of the Action The preliminary documentation must provide a detailed description of the proposed action. The description must include a summary of all components of the action (e.g. warehouses, roads, storage spaces and other industrial facilities proposed), a description of the activities associated with the potential nine stages of the subdivision of the three land parcels, and plans or maps to delineate the position of the subdivision. Information should outline the proposed construction activities associated with the development. 2.1 Response Response provided by Reeds Consulting: The proposed action is in accordance with Planning Permit PA2013/4050/1 which allows for the multi-lot staged subdivision, removal of native vegetation, subdivision of land adjoining a Road Zone – Category 1, creation of reserves and removal of easements. The actions as allowed under Planning Permit PA2013/4050 will be undertaken by the proponent,

E-mail [email protected] Received: 21 January 2017 Editorial decision: 30 January 2017 Accepted: 12 February 2017 Background and Aims Species are often used as the unit for conservation, but may not be suitable for species complexes where taxa are difficult to distinguish. Under such circumstances, it may be more appropriate to consider species groups or populations as evolutionarily significant units (ESUs). A population genomic approach was em- ployed to investigate the diversity within and among closely related species to create a more robust, lineage-specific conservation strategy for a nationally endangered terrestrial orchid and its relatives from south-eastern Australia. Methods Four putative species were sampled from a total of 16 populations in the Victorian Volcanic Plain (VVP) bioregion and one population of a sub-alpine outgroup in south-eastern Australia. Morphological measure- ments were taken in situ along with leaf material for genotyping by sequencing (GBS) and microsatellite analyses. Key Results Species could not be differentiated using morphological measurements.

  • Australian Orchidaceae: Genera and Species (12/1/2004)
    AUSTRALIAN ORCHID NAME INDEX (21/1/2008) by Mark A. Clements Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research/Australian National Herbarium GPO Box 1600 Canberra ACT 2601 Australia Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION The Australian Orchid Name Index (AONI) provides the currently accepted scientific names, together with their synonyms, of all Australian orchids including those in external territories. The appropriate scientific name for each orchid taxon is based on data published in the scientific or historical literature, and/or from study of the relevant type specimens or illustrations and study of taxa as herbarium specimens, in the field or in the living state. Structure of the index: Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Accepted names for taxa are in bold, followed by the author(s), place and date of publication, details of the type(s), including where it is held and assessment of its status. The institution(s) where type specimen(s) are housed are recorded using the international codes for Herbaria (Appendix 1) as listed in Holmgren et al’s Index Herbariorum (1981) continuously updated, see [http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp]. Citation of authors follows Brummit & Powell (1992) Authors of Plant Names; for book abbreviations, the standard is Taxonomic Literature, 2nd edn. (Stafleu & Cowan 1976-88; supplements, 1992-2000); and periodicals are abbreviated according to B-P- H/S (Bridson, 1992) [http://www.ipni.org/index.html]. Synonyms are provided with relevant information on place of publication and details of the type(s). They are indented and listed in chronological order under the accepted taxon name. Synonyms are also cross-referenced under genus.

  • Orchid Research Newsletter 65 (PDF)
    Orchid Research Newsletter No. 65 Those who attended the 21st World Orchid Conference in Johannesburg last September were treated to 1) a marvelous show filled with native South African species of Orchidaceae and other indigenous plant families, and 2) some excellent talks on orchid floras, conservation biology, ecology, and systematics. Just to mention a few, Steve Johnson gave a typically superb plenary talk on deceit pollination in South Africa, and Mike Fay intrigued the audience with news of exciting new approaches to conservation genetics. Nicola Flanagan delivered a fascinating lecture on the diversity of Vanilla species and their mycorrhiza in Colombia. Alex Hirtz introduced the incredible orchid diversity of Ecuador as an enticement to attend the 22nd WOC in Guayaquil in 2017. We thank the organizing committee – Gerrit van Ede, Anthony Grohovaz, Catharina Wilfinger, Frik Botha, and Lourens Grobler – and all the others who helped to make all the registrants feel so welcome. The New Year promises at least two other conferences of note. First up is the 17th European Orchid Conference to be held at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the Royal Horticultural Society Halls in Vincent Square, London, in April (see details below). Among the distinguished international speakers will be Cássio van den Berg, Ken Cameron, Andre Schuiteman, Mariana Mondragón-Palomino, Kingsley Dixon, Hanne Rasmussen, Phillip Cribb, Tom Mirenda, Henrik Pedersen, Holger Perner, John Elliott, Svante Malmgren, Hildegard Crous, Pepe Portilla, and Andrea Niessen. Then in November the 5th Scientific Conference on Andean Orchids will convene in Colombia, a nation that rivals (Colombians say surpasses) Ecuador in orchid diversity.

Planning controls 7.11.1. State provisions Destruction, lopping or removal of native vegetation on allotments of 0.4 hectares or more requires a planning permit under Clause 52.17 of all Victorian Planning Schemes. This includes the removal of dead trees with a DBH of 40 centimetres or greater, native degraded treeless vegetation and/or any individual scattered native plants. Before issuing a planning permit, Responsible Authorities are obligated to refer to Clause 12.01 (Biodiversity) in the Planning Scheme. This refers in turn to Victoria’s Native Vegetation Management Framework – a Framework for Action, discussed in the following section.
