1285 Phillip Island Road, Newhaven - Landscape Master Plan by Applicant AT-1. Planning Permit Application 160308 - 1285 Phillip Island Road, Newhaven - Landscape Master Plan by Applicant VISION The scenic South coast of Phillip Island is a tourist destination of State significance. T he Site at 1285 Phillip Island Road, Newhaven has been significantly modified as a result of farming, and currently presents as a relatively featureless grassy paddock abutting coastal dunes. The dune system will be rehabilitated and managed as a Conservation Area (in co-operation with and under guidance of PINP). The balance of the Site is proposed to be developed as a camp ground and caravan park, providing an alternative accommodation option on the south coast of the Island for travellers and holiday-makers. The landscape treatment aims to create a native bush / coastal setting, responding to the site conditions. It features a meandering site layout, extensive revegetation, earth mounding and an on-site stormwater treatment system. A palette of locally indigenous and suitable Australian native plants is nominated which will thrive in these conditions, creating an attractive and contextual landscape setting. Landscape Principles THEME & VISION • Respond to site conditions: topography, vegetation & microclimate 01 • Preserve the environmental integrity of the dunal system • Create South-coast landscape that fits comfortably in context • Create sites nestled within the landscape • Develop a safe, attractive pedestrian environment • Locate communal facilities in visually prominent, central areas PHILLI P ISLAN D ROAD PLANT SELECTION & PLACEMENT • Indigenous plant palette to coastal interface • Locally Indigenous & Australian plants native elsewhere 02 • Wetland species in accordance with Melbourne Water & Westernport Water Guidelines ROAD LAYOUT • Indicative alignment of entry road to be refined by traffic engineers • Meandering, predominantly one-way internal roads, minimum road widths 03 • Views along all internal roads to terminate in planted areas CONSERVATION AREA FUNCTIONAL LAYOUT • 204 sites indicated on this plan 04 • Southern third of site can be closed during the off season • Larger sites located closer to Phillip Island Rd • Smaller sites located closer to conservation area ADJOINING LAND INTErfACE • SOUTH: Boundary to Conservation areas to have visually permeable fence, restricting pedestrian access to the dunes and a planted boundary 05 • NORTH: Phillip Island Road interface to be densely planted & earth bunding • EAST: Interface with private land, densely planted boundary & earth bunding • WEST: Philip Island Nature Parks land, public access to Forest caves beach, densely planted boundary & earth bunding KEY PLAn - NOT TO SCALE The Surf Park Landscape Masterplan 1285 Phillip Island Rd, Newhaven PROJECT_DRG NO 0316-0033 D001 REV 05 DRWN AC CHKDMC APPROV HW DATE 20.02.2017 PHILIP ISLAND ROAD P ROPOSED LOCATION & ROAD TREATMENT of entry road to be confirmed by traffic engineer SEWERAGE pumping +2.0 station 100sqm 30sqm BIO- SEDIMENT BASIN +1.5 RETENTION BASIN +2.0 +1.0 C ArpArkING INDICATIVE LAYOUT MOUNDED LANDSCAPE & CHANNEL ABUTTING EASTERN BOUNDARY PLAYGROUND & TO INTERCEPT AMENITIES PICNIC AREA OVERLAND STORM block WATER +1.0 OFFICE & MANAGERS residence DEPOT +1.0 +2.0 300MM DEEP, MIN 1.5M WIDE STORM WATER OPEN CHANNEL AT +1.0 BASE OF MOUNDING CONTINUOUS ALONG BOUNDARY rec room G ROUP SITES PARK & COmmUNAL AMENITIES CAMP kITCHEN +1.0 PUBLIC ACCESS to FORREST AMENITIES caves CArpArk block +1.0 +1.0 CANOPY TREES e.g Banksia integrifolia Coast Banksia Banksia marginata+2.0 Silver Banksia Eucalyptus leucoxylon 'Rosea' Yellow Gum SCREENS TREES e.g Allocasuarina littoralis Black She-oak Allocasuarina verticillata Drooping She-oak +2.0 Leptospermum lanigerum Woolly Tea-tree C VONSE Myoporum insulare Common Boobialla R SHRUBS e.g ATION Acacia longifolia ssp sophorae Coast Wattle Ar Banksia spinulosa Hairpin Banksia EA Bursaria+2.0 spinosa Sweet Bursaria Correa alba White Correa GRASSES & GROUNDCOVERS e.g Austrostipa stipoides Coast Spear Grass Lomandra longifolia subsp.longifolia Spiny Headed Matt-rush Poa poiformis Coast Tussock Grass Tetragonia implexicoma Bower Spinach Legend CANOPY TREES e.g CONSERVATION AREA INTERFACE Banksia integrifolia Coast Banksia Plant species consistent with Coastal Dune Scrub EVC 160 and Coastal EARTH MOUNDING BOUNDARY FENCING I NTERNAL BUILDING LIGHTING Banksia marginata Silver Banksia Dune Grassland EVC 879 For noise attenuation, visual screening, Visually permeable fencing Eucalyptus leucoxylon 'Rosea' Yellow Gum Acacia longifolia ssp sophorae Coast Wattle sightlines & topographical interest preventing pedestrian access to dunes A.

  • Waterloo Urban and Industrial Expansion Flora and Fauna Survey
    Shire of Dardanup Waterloo Urban and Industrial Expansion Flora and Fauna Survey March 2015 Executive summary This report is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, the limitations set out in Section 1.4 and the assumptions and qualifications contained throughout the Report. The Greater Bunbury Strategy and Structure Plan identified a potential significant urban expansion area located to the east of the Eaton locality and an industrial expansion area in Waterloo, in the Shire of Dardanup. The Shire of Dardanup (the Shire) and the Department of Planning have commenced preparation of District Structure Plans (DSP) for the urban expansion area and the industrial expansion area. The DSP will be informed by several technical studies including flora and fauna surveys. The Shire has commissioned GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) to undertake a flora and fauna survey and reporting for the Project. The Project Area is situated in the locality of Waterloo in the Shire of Dardanup. The Project Area includes the urban development area to the north of the South- west Highway (SWH) and the industrial development area to the south of the SWH. GHD undertook a desktop assessment of the Project Area and a flora and fauna field assessment with the first phase conducted from 13 to 14 August, 2014 and the second phase conducted from 29 to 31 October 2014. The purpose of this assessment was to identify the parts of the Project Area that have high, moderate and low ecological values so that the Shire can develop the DSP in consideration of these ecological values. This assessment identified the biological features of the Project Area and the key results are as follows.

It includes the correct nomenclature and authorship of the taxon’s name, as well as the reference of its original publication. According to this Census, the Tasmanian flora contains 2726 vascular plants, of which 1920 (70%) are considered native and 808 (30%) have naturalised from elsewhere. Among the native taxa, 533 (28%) are endemic to the State. Forty-eight of the State’s exotic taxa are considered sparingly naturalised, and are known only from a small number of populations. Twenty-three native taxa are recognised as extinct, whereas eight naturalised taxa are considered to have either not persisted in Tasmania or have been eradicated.

Short Botany Department, University of Adelaide, North Terrace, Adelaide, 5000; Present address: School of Biological Sciences, Flinders University, Bedford Park, 5042. Abstract Apium in Australasia is reviewed and three species, A. prostratum Labill. ex Vent., A. insuläre Short sp. nov. and A. annuum Short sp. nov. occur naturally in the region. A fourth species, A. graveolens L., the cultivated celery, occasionally occurs as a weed. A. prostratum, widespread throughout the region, is divided into three subspecies, ssp. prostratum, ssp. howense Short ssp. nov., restricted to Lord Howe Island, and ssp. denticulatum Short ssp. nov., confined to the Chatham Islands. A single collection from the Porongorup Range, Western Australia, is also tentatively regarded as representing a separate subspecies of A. prostratum. Two varieties of ssp. prostratum, namely var. prostratum and var. filiforme (A. Rich.) Kirk are distinguished. Both varieties occur in Australia and New Zealand. A. annuum, the only annual in the genus, is confined to Australia. A. insulare occurs on Lord Howe Island and islands of Bass Strait.

  • INDEX of CHROMOSOME NUMBERS of TASMANIAN SPERMATOPHYTES by R.J.E
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 137, 2003 39 INDEX OF CHROMOSOME NUMBERS OF TASMANIAN SPERMATOPHYTES by R.J.E. Wiltshire and the late W.D. Jackson (with two tables) WILTSHIRE, R.J.E. & JACKSON, W:D., 2003 (19.xii): Index of chromosome numbers ofT asmanian spermatophytes. Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 137: 39-53. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.137.39 ISSN 0080-4703. School of Plant Science, University ofTasmania, Private Bag 55, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia. A preliminary index of chromosome numbers for spermatophytes indigenous ro Tasmania is presented, with reference citations. This compilation includes reports for 166 species provenanced from Tasmanian material, many previously published, and also 55 unpublished results (mostly from the work ofWDJ). Selected reports of species indigenous to Tasmania but derived elsewhere (usually material from New Zealand or the Australian mainland) are also included as a basis for further study. In total, chromosome numbers are listed for 400 species (409 taxa, including subspecies and varieties) out of a total estimated spermatophyte flora of 1568 described indigenous species. Ten of the 108 families have been examined in some detail (>45% of species), but the four most speciose families (625/1568 species; Orchidaceae, Asteraceae, Poaceae and Cyperaceae) have a total of only four Tasmanian reports, despite highly variable chromosome com­ plements. Five other speciose families (Apiaceae, Brassicaceae, Juncaceae, Rhamnaceae and Scrophulariaceae) have no Tasmanian reports despite demonstrating cytological variability at generic, inter- and intra-specific levels. Further cytological investigation of these taxa is essential for a clearer understanding of the Tasmanian flora.

  • A Preliminary List of the Flora and Significant Flora of the Yalgorup National Park
    A Preliminary List of the Flora and Significant Flora of the Yalgorup National Park. GJ Keighery, BJ Keighery and VM Longman August 2009 Department of Environment and Conservation Perth. Western Australia. Flora Yalgorup National Park Methods The principal author has been working on compiling a list of the flora of the Yalgorup National Park for 30 years beginning in the late 1970s. This work was progressed in a series of studies including the Southern Swan Coastal Plain floristic study ( Gibson et al. 1994), Conservation Status of Vascular Flora of the Southern Swan Coastal Plain (GJ Keighery 1999) and work by the Wildflower Society and the Department of Environment and Conservation in 2007. A current study on the flora and vegetation values of the area from Dawesville to Biningup has contributed to the databasing of the information collected over this period. Flora A total of 650 taxa, 515 native taxa and 135 weeds are listed for the Yalgorup National Park (Table 1). Information on a variety of species attributes is listed alongside the taxa in Table 1. These attributes include: • significant flora; • endemic status; • growth form; • life form; and • aquatic species. These attributes are described in the key to Appendix XX and in the Perth Region Plant Biodiversity Project (PRPBP) section of the Western Australian Local Government Association’s (WALGA) Perth Biodiversity Project website (DoE et al. 2006). Significant Flora When taxa are considered according to conservation status (see Table 1 Key for categories), over 100 (106) are considered significant flora in the Park (Table 1). Of these, 2 are listed as DRF and 12 are listed as priority taxa: one Priority 1, two Priority 2, six Priority 3 and three Priority 4.
