Approved Conservation Advice for Grevillea Rivularis (Carrington Falls Grevillea) This conservation advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 26/3/2008 A statement for the purposes of approved conservation advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Grevillea rivularis (Carrington Falls Grevillea) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Grevillea rivularis, Family Proteaceae, also known as Carrington Falls Grevillea, is a dense, spreading, prickly shrub, 2–2.5 m high and 2–3 m wide. The flowers are cream to mauve-pink and the fruits are hairy with reddish-brown stripes or blotches. The flowers appear throughout most of the year and are pollinated by birds. Its leaves are 3–6cm long and have secondary (occasionally tertiary) divisions, with 3–9 primary lobes, each with 3–5 secondary lobes. The ultimate lobes, which are 1–3cm long and 1–2.5mm wide, are linear to very narrow-triangular and pungent. Conservation Status Carrington Falls Grevillea is listed as endangered. This species is eligible for listing as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as endangered under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). This species is also listed as endangered under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and Habitat Carrington Falls Grevillea is restricted to the Carrington Falls area, near Robertson on the Central Tablelands of NSW (McGillivray, 1975; Benson & McDougall, 2000; Makinson, 2000). This species occurs within Budderoo National Park and adjacent crown land (Briggs & Leigh, 1990), in the Southern Rivers Natural Resource Management Region (NSW). It is primarily confined to the riparian zone of the Kangaroo River and associated tributaries, over a small area of 120 ha (Pickup et al., 2003). It is generally restricted to the water’s edge, though a small population of mature individuals is known from woodland at least 500 m from the water's edge, indicating that the species was likely to have previously been more widespread. Fire is implicated in its disappearance from woodland habitat (DECC, 2005a). The estimated total population for the species is between 1500 and 2000 plants (Briggs & Leigh, 1990; NSW NPWS, 1999; Pickup et al., 2003). The species occurs in moist sandy or alluvium soils on sandstone, in and near small streams in dense riparian or open wet heath, adjacent to open eucalypt woodland or forest (McGillivray, 1975; Briggs & Leigh, 1990). Associated species include Leptospermum lanigerum, Baeckea utilis, Acacia longifolia, A. terminalis, Callicoma serratifolia, Ceratopetalum apetalum, Hakea microcarpa, Banksia ericifolia, B. paludosa, Melaleuca squarrosa, Epacris impressa, Persoonia, Pomaderris, Isopogon, and Gleichenia species and numerous sedges and rushes. The distribution of this species is not known to overlap with any EPBC Act-listed threatened ecological communities. Threats The main identified threat to Carrington Falls Grevillea is frequent fire. Fire kills plants, and regeneration is reliant upon the presence of seed stored in the soil (Briggs & Leigh 1990; NSW NPWS, 1999; Makinson, 2000; Pickup et al., 2003). Other identified threats include Grevillea rivularis Conservation Advice - Page 1 of 3 This conservation advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 26/3/2008 recreational activities (vehicles driving off established tracks, BBQ fires, visitor trampling and rubbish dumping) (NSW NPWS, 1999); small population size; and climatic disturbances such as drought (DECC, 2005a). Regional Priority Actions The following regional priority recovery and threat abatement actions can be done to support the recovery of Carrington Falls Grevillea. Habitat Loss, Disturbance and Modification • Identify populations of high conservation priority. • Manage threats to areas of vegetation that contain populations/occurrences/remnants of Carrington Falls Grevillea. • Investigate formal conservation arrangements such as the use of covenants, conservation agreements or inclusion in reserve tenure. Fire • Develop and implement a suitable fire management strategy for Carrington Falls Grevillea, with intervals between fires of more than 15 years (DECC, 2005b). • Provide maps of known occurrences to local and state Rural Fire Services and seek inclusion of mitigative measures in bush fire risk management plans, risk register and/or operation maps. Conservation Information • Raise awareness of Carrington Falls Grevillea within the local community. • Educate visitors to stay on marked tracks in national parks. Enable Recovery of Additional Sites and/or Populations • Undertake appropriate seed collection and storage. • Investigate options for linking, enhancing or establishing additional populations. • Implement national translocation protocols (Vallee et al, 2004) if establishing additional populations is considered necessary and feasible. Local Priority Actions The following local priority recovery and threat abatement actions can be done to support the recovery of Carrington Falls Grevillea. Habitat Loss, Disturbance and Modification • Monitor known populations to identify key threats. • Monitor the progress of recovery, including the effectiveness of management actions and the need to adapt them if necessary. • Ensure track maintenance activities in areas where Carrington Falls Grevillea occurs do not adversely impact on known populations. • Control access routes to suitably constrain public access to known sites on public land. • Undertake survey work in suitable habitat and potential habitat to locate any additional populations. • Minimise adverse impacts from land use at known sites. Fire • Incorporate information of known sites into regional fire plans and hazard reduction burn planning (DECC, 2005a). • Implement an appropriate fire management regime for local populations. This list does not necessarily encompass all actions that may be of benefit to Carrington Falls Grevillea, but highlights those that are considered to be of highest priority at the time of preparing the conservation advice.

  • Index to NSW TSSC Final Determinations
    NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee Index to Final Determinations – 1996 –2018 (Updated to 27/4/2018) Listing of threatened species, populations and ecological communities in NSW from 1996 to 25th August 2017 was undertaken by the NSW Scientific Committee established under the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995. The extinction risk of species, populations and ecological communities were assessed at the State scale under this Act. However, it should be noted that assessments of species endemic to NSW (ie species that only occur in NSW) is equivalent to a national scale assessment. The NSW Threatened Species Scientific Committee (NSWTSSC) is established under the Biodiversity Conservation Act, 2016 which commenced on 25th August 2017. Under ths Act, species and ecological communities are assessed at the national scale. If a species or ecological community is not threatened at the national scale then it can be assessed at the State scale and can be listed as threatened if it meets the criteria for listing in NSW. The NSWTSSC identifies and assesses species and ecological communities for listing as threatened in the Schedules of the Act as follows: Schedule 1 – Critically endangered (CR), Endangered (E) and Vulnerable (V) species Schedule 2 – Critically endangered (CREEC), Endangered (EEC) and Vulnerable (VEC) ecological communities Schedule 3 – Extinct species (EX), species extinct in the wild and collapsed ecological communities Schedule 4 – Key threatening processes (KTP) Final determinations include the reasons for listing and are available for those entities listed or reviewed by the Committee since the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995 commenced in 1996. Final determinations made prior to 25th August 2017 refer to the listing criteria and provisons of the Threatended Species Conservation Act and Regulations.

Bradstock Myerscough, P.J.1, Whelan, R.J.2, and Bradstock, R.A.3 (1Institute of Wildlife Research, School of Biological Sciences (A08), University of Sydney, NSW 2006; 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, NSW 2522; 3Biodiversity Research and Management Division, NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967, Hurstville, NSW 1481) Ecology of Proteaceae with special reference to the Sydney region. Cunninghamia 6(4): 951–1015. In Australia, the Proteaceae are a diverse group of plants. They inhabit a wide range of environments, many of which are low in plant resources. They support a wide range of animals and other organisms, and show distinctive patterns of distribution in relation to soils, climate and geological history. These patterns of distribution, relationships with nutrients and other resources, interactions with animals and other organisms and dynamics of populations in Proteaceae are addressed in this review, particularly for the Sydney region. The Sydney region, with its wide range of environments, offers great opportunities for testing general questions in the ecology of the Proteaceae. For instance, its climate is not mediterranean, unlike the Cape region of South Africa, south- western and southern Australia, where much of the research on plants of Proteaceae growing in infertile habitats has been done. The diversity and abundance of Proteaceae vary in the Sydney region inversely with fertility of habitats. In the region’s rainforest there are few Proteaceae and their populations are sparse, whereas in heaths in the region, Proteaceae are often diverse and may dominate the canopy.
