ISBN: 0 7313 6041 9 Tooloom National Park: Plan of Management ii FOREWORD The dedication of Tooloom National Park is part of a forestry and conservation reforms package which seeks, amongst other objectives, to protect forests of conservation significance in New South Wales. This plan of management fulfils a commitment by the New South Wales Government to prepare plans of management for the new national parks. Tooloom National Park covers approximately 4390 hectares of the Koreelah Range which is one of a number of dominant volcanic features in upper north east New South Wales. The Park has a rich diversity of vegetation communities which in turn has resulted in the number of species of mammals occurring within the Park being greater than for any other area of comparable size in Australia. The Park incorporates the former Tooloom Scrub Flora Reserve which is included on the World Heritage list as part of the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia World Heritage Area. The diverse vegetation communities have given rise to one of the richest fauna assemblages in Australia, with an exceptional variety of macropods and birds in particular. Consequently the Park is of high scientific value and has been used for scientific research for many years. This plan of management recognises the conservation and research values of the Park. The plan aims to maintain these values by continuing to promote only low-key recreational use. Scientific research which provides information useful to the management of biodiversity in this and other nearby parks and reserves will be encouraged. This plan of management establishes the scheme of operations for Tooloom National Park. In accordance with the provisions of Section 75 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act, 1974, this plan is hereby adopted.

A plan of management is a legal document that outlines how a park will be managed in the years ahead. Following exhibition of the Draft Plan of Management, the procedures for the adoption of a Plan of Management for a national park are: · The Director-General refers the plan to the National Parks and Wildlife Advisory Council for their consideration and advice; · The Director-General submits the plan to the Minister for the Environment, together with any comments or suggestions made from the Advisory Council; and · The Minister may adopt the plan with or without alteration, or may refer the plan back to the Director-General and Advisory Council for further consideration. A draft plan of management for Tooloom National Park was placed on public exhibition for three months closing on 2 November 1998, attracting 7 submissions which raised 8 issues. All comments received were referred to the Advisory Council for its consideration and advice. These comments, and those raised in the public submissions were in turn considered by the Minister before adopting this plan of management for Tooloom National Park. No operations may be undertaken within Tooloom National Park except in accordance with this plan. Additional information or inquiries on any aspect of this Plan may be obtained from: Kyogle Area Office NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Roxy Commercial Centre Geneva Street (PO Box 174) Kyogle NSW 2472 or phone (02) 6632 1473.

NATIONAL PARKS IN NEW SOUTH WALES The national park concept was introduced into Australia with the establishment of the Royal National Park in 1879, seven years after the world’s first National Park was created at Yellowstone in the United States of America. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) - the World Conservation Union, in 1994 defined a National Park as: “A natural area of land and / or seas, designated to (a) protect the ecological integrity of one or more ecosystems for the present and future generations, (b) exclude exploitation or occupation inimical to the purposes of designation of the area, and (c) provide a foundation for spiritual, educational, recreational and visitor opportunities, all of which must be environmentally and culturally compatible”. 2. TOOLOOM NATIONAL PARK AND WORLD HERITAGE LISTING Tooloom National Park (referred to as “the Park” in this plan) encompasses an area of outstanding rainforest. Sections of the rainforest within the Park were previously dedicated as Tooloom Scrub Flora Reserve, with 705 ha. being dedicated under the Forestry Act 1916 on 14 May 1937 and an additional 960 ha. on 26 September 1986. The Flora Reserve was included on the World Heritage list in 1994 as part of the “Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia” (CERRA). As from the 1 January 1999 the remaining section of the World Heritage listed Tooloom Scrub Flora Reserve (as it was previously known) was added to the Park, along with an adjoining section of State forest (refer to figure 2). The CERRA property is significant for its outstanding examples of the earth’s biological and geological evolutionary history, for its representations of ongoing geological processes and biological evolution, and for its provision of habitat for threatened species of plant and animals. CERRA is a serial property, encompassing approximately 50 reserves between Newcastle and Brisbane. These are linked by their shared importance in conserving this region’s globally significant rainforest. The Park is in the northern or border section of CERRA. In this vicinity, other CERRA reserves include (in

  • Submission to NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry Dailan Pugh, for North East Forest Alliance, April 2020
    NEFA Submission to NSW Bushfire Inquiry Submission to NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry Dailan Pugh, for North East Forest Alliance, April 2020 Six months later: Much of the heavily burnt stands in Ellangowan State Forest are not going to recover, 1 NEFA Submission to NSW Bushfire Inquiry Consideration against the NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry's terms of reference: 1. The causes of, and factors contributing to, the frequency, intensity, timing and location of, bushfires in NSW in the 2019- 20 bushfire season, including consideration of any role of weather, drought, climate change, fuel loads and human activity. 6. [to make recommendations on] hazard reduction, zoning, and any appropriate use of indigenous practices. 2019 was Australia’s hottest, driest year on record and 2018-2019 was southeast Australia's driest two-year period on record. It is apparent the principle exasperating factors affecting the severity and extent of the 2019-20 bushfires in north-east NSW were the record drought and temperatures in the preceding months. There can be no doubt the extent and severity of the fires were due to climate heating. Though there are numerous underlying factors contributing to the dryness, structure, and composition of the vegetation, and thus the nature and extent of the fires. Fire initiated by lightning has been a factor driving evolution and adaptation of Australian biota for millions of years, long before people arrived. There can be no doubt that people, and their use of fire for a variety of purposes, changed the extent and frequency of fire in parts of the landscape, and thus contributed to subsequent environmental changes.
