The proposed list of areas where funding is to be allocated has been developed to address as many of the priority areas as possible identified in recommendation 3 of the Western Australian Caravan and Camping Action Plan 2013–2018 (which relates to the development of camping sites on land managed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife) and the Government’s national park facilities and accommodation initiative, known as ‘Parks for People’. The attached table provides a list of indicative projects. Initial expenditure is being directed to planning and design. The final budget allocation for each project will be subject to planning and design requirements, approvals processes and tender prices. Similarly, the locations of works for the proposed commercial tourism lease projects are subject to further negotiation with lessees. __________ [2] .

  • Biological Survey Part 2.Pdf
    LEVEL 1 BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF RAVENSTHORPE GOLD PROJECT, WESTERN AUSTRALIA Page | 101 home ranges may overlap, there tends to be a smaller non-overlapping ‘core’ area defined by den locations. Core areas are approximately 4 km2 and 0.9 km2 for males and females, respectively (Serena & Soderquist, 1989). Females tend to be territorial, although some areas may be shared by a mother and her adult daughter (Serena & Soderquist, 1989). Male core areas are much larger and overlap broadly with other males as well as females. Both sexes occur at similar densities in the Jarrah forest. Home range size may be smaller in areas where foxes are effectively controlled, and where Chuditch population densities are higher (DEC, 2012b; Mathew, 1996). Chuditch are opportunistic feeders, foraging primarily on the ground at night. In the forest, insects and other large invertebrates comprise the bulk of their diet, though some mammals, birds and lizards are also included (DEC, 2012b; Serena et al., 1991). The Chuditch is primarily a nocturnal species, they may be diurnally active during the breeding season (April to July) or when cold, wet weather restricts nocturnal foraging (DEC, 2012b). The average life span of an established adult is two years, and wild Chuditch generally don’t live past four years (Soderquist, 1988). Factors contributing to Chuditch mortality include: ▪ Motor vehicle strike (Chuditch commonly forage along dirt roads and tracks making them more susceptible to this); ▪ Illegal shooting near roads; ▪ Predation by foxes, raptors and feral cats; ▪ Injury in rabbit traps; and ▪ Natural accidents and disease. The Chuditch has been recorded on camera within the Project Area during the two fauna surveys conducted by APM in 2016 and 2017.

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________ PO Box 437 Kalamunda WA 6926 +61 08 9257 1625 [email protected] REVIEW OF FLORA, VEGETATION AND FAUNA VALUES ON LOTS 5 & 6 (NO 1728) GREAT NORTHERN HIGHWAY, BULLSBROOK 1. INTRODUCTION Mattiske Consulting Pty Ltd was commissioned in November 2018 by Brikmakers to undertake a flora, vegetation and fauna assessment of a proposed expansion area for clay and sand extraction to the south of Walyunga Road. The proposed expansion area occurs on approximately 15.9141 hectares of which 2.31ha consists of isolated trees and small remnants of Jarrah, Marri and Wandoo over pasture on the proposed northern sand pit, 0.17ha consists of Banksia trees over pasture on the proposed northern sand pit, 0.08ha consists of planted trees on the proposed southern sand pit, 0.08 consists of isolated Sheoak trees over pasture and 0.03ha consists of an isolated Marri tree on the proposed clay pit, see Figures 1 and 2 and Appendix A (photographs). The majority of the area is completely degraded and is currently used for grazing cattle. In the remaining areas of trees, the understorey is dominated by pasture species or introduced species. The latter degraded nature of the area has resulted from the agricultural activities on the area. It is also intended to clear a small section (620m2) of the road verges of Walyunga Road, Bullsbrook, Figure 3 and Appendix A. The area occurs on the Pinjarra plain on the eastern section of the Swan Coastal Plain. The section of road verge is proposed to be required to ensure safe access to the areas to the south of Walyunga Road.

  • Cape Arid National Park
    Home Home: National Parks: Previous Parks of the Month: Cape Arid National Park About New Park of the Month - February 1999 Latest Bookshop Cape Arid National Park Forest National Cape Arid National Park Tourism and Landscope For Schools Science Plants & search Mailbox Cape Arid National Park is a large (279 832 hectares) and exceptionally scenic park. With more than 160 bird species, it is an important park for the conservation of birds in Western Australia, and harbours a number of restricted and threatened species, as well as some interesting inland birds. The park lies at the eastern extremity of the South-Western botanical province and overlaps the boundary of the Eremaean botanical province (the arid zone). Therefore, as well as including beaches and the Thomas River and estuary, it also includes south- western and more arid vegetation types, providing a broad array of bird habitats. Near the coast, these include banksia woodlands, swamp yate (Eucalyptus occidentalis) woodlands, and heaths, some with emergent banksias or eucalypts, depending on the soil type. Further inland, there are extensive areas of mallee of various types and semi-arid eucalypt woodlands. There are also small areas of mixed woodlands and shrublands around granite rocks and the peaks of the Russell Range, including Mount Ragged. Cape Arid National Park, therefore, heathland flora includes a diverse array of bird species. It is the eastern limit of distribution in Western Australia for ten species, including the ground parrot, scarlet robin, western spinebill and red-eared firetail. Several species that prefer drier country are found in the northern part of the park, but not in the southern parts.

  • Western Ground Parrot Pezoporus Wallicus Flaviventris
    Threatened Species Strategy – Year 3 Priority Species Scorecard (2018) Western Ground Parrot Pezoporus wallicus flaviventris Key Findings Western Ground Parrots are currently known from only two locations in south-western WA. Initial declines caused by habitat loss and degradation are now exacerbated by higher fire frequencies, predation from introduced carnivores and sustained reductions in rainfall. Recovery actions have averted extinction through protecting wild populations from fire and introduced predators, however, this species’ limited numbers and the vulnerability of their small area of occupied habitat to fire is challenging and the outlook is perilous. Photo: Abby Berryman Significant trajectory change from 2005-15 to 2015-18? No, ongoing decline Priority future actions • Ongoing effective cat and fox control • Ongoing phytophthora quarantine • Sucessful captive breeding and reintroduction to previously occupied areas Full assessment information Background information 2018 population trajectory assessment 1.
