Rezoning of land at Tallowood Ridge, Mullumbimby

Byron Shire Council provided the Applicant with an update on the planning proposal for rezoning of land at Tallowood Ridge on 27 September 2016. In this update, Council referred to a submission from the Office of Environment and

Heritage (“OEH”) and requested that the Applicant provide an updated ecological, flora and fauna assessment.

Council requested that the revised assessment is to include:

 Assessment of the whole of the land which is the subject of the planning proposal, particularly the forested areas

 Consideration of the potential impacts of the proposed rezoning and future development of approximately 65 additional residential lots with associated earthworks and infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, electricity) on the proposed R2 zoned land

 Consideration of the provisions of the draft ‘Byron Coast Comprehensive Koala Plan of Management’ and

1 |Peter Parker consultancy advice  Additional field survey and/or verification as required to ensure that the report adequately addresses threatened species, populations and ecological communities listed on the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 since 2011.

The site is arguably one of the most intensively surveyed sites in Byron Shire. A systematic flora and fauna survey was undertaken in 2011 and regular koala Spot

Assessment Technique (“SAT”) surveys have been periodically undertaken since

2011. Survey results are discussed below.

1.0 Background

A systematic flora and fauna survey was undertaken in 2011 by this consultancy.

This survey included the whole of the land and was not restricted to small portions subject to specific development applications. However, greater survey effort was applied to forested portions of the site than to open grassland which was grazed by stock at that time. The survey methods applied are illustrated in Fig. 1 at page

3 and in Table 1).

3 |Peter Parker consultancy advice 1.1 Koala surveys

A systematic koala survey was undertaken on 11 and 12 April 2011 utilising the SAT described by Phillips and Callaghan (2011) Fig. 1.

A grid, spaced at approximately 100 m centres, was laid out over an aerial photo of the entire site prior to the survey commencement. The tree nearest the grid intersection was located using a GPS and was tagged to facilitate the counting of scats under this tree and the next nearest 29 trees. These were surveyed for the presence of scats in accordance with the SAT methodology. A total of ten SAT sites were used in 2011 making a total of

300 trees surveyed.

A single koala scat was recorded in the 2011 survey. This activity fell below the lowest category reported in Phillips and Callaghan (2011) and thus the koala was a transitory species which may move through the site opportunistically.

A subsequent SAT survey undertaken in 2012 resulted in koala scats being recorded under 21 tallowwood trees, Eucalyptus microcorys, out of the 180 trees surveyed (Parker

2012). These data demonstrated that koala(s) had recently visited the site and that tallowwood was the koala’s preferred food tree. The assessment of koala activity levels

(“ALs”) in accordance with Phillips and Callaghan (2011) was undertaken.

A further koala SAT survey was undertaken on 3 October 2013. Six sites were selected and 180 trees surveyed with koala scats being recorded under only one tree. This suggests that the previous results, which showed that the koala is transitory, were the most likely scenario and accords with the lack of koala observations during previous SAT surveys or spotlighting.

A 2016 SAT survey (Parker 2016) was conducted in the vicinity of the Stage 5 subdivision in an area which supported tallowwood (Fig. 2).

Koala scats were recorded under three trees within two of the SAT sites. These records are interpreted as Activity Levels of 6.6% and 3.3% respectively (Fig. 2).

4 |Peter Parker consultancy advice Scat activity levels of koala populations is defined by Phillips and Callaghan (2011) as follows:

 Low: SAT site activity level less than 22.52%;

 Medium to High: SAT levels greater than or equal to 22.52% but less than or

equal to 32.84%; and

 High: SAT levels greater than 32.84%.

Results from the 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2016 SAT surveys all demonstrate that the koala occurs at the Tallowood ridge site periodically and its occurrence is within a low activity level.

1.2 Tree surveys

Tree surveys were undertaken in September and October 2013 i.e., 30 person-days using three teams of two people, with each team comprised of a team leader and a team marker. The survey was conducted within the pre-defined vegetation polygons illustrated in Fig. 3 (Plates 1-8).

Trees in the “upper or lower strata of the tree component” were counted according to

Step 1, section 1.5 of Circular B25 and the requirements of SEPP 44 for potential koala habitat. Only native trees were recorded with shrubs and ground covers being ignored as these do not occur within the “tree component”.

A total of 9,767 trees was counted with tallowwood accounting for 272 trees or 2.8% of the total number of trees in either the upper or lower strata of the tree component.

Data with respect to tree species, counts and tree size (as diameter at breast height

“DBH”) are presented in Figs. 4, 5 and 6. Small rainforest species dominated the site with over 7,000 trees being under 50 mm DBH. However, 18 tallowwoods had a DBH greater than 500 mm and 17 trees measured between 400-500 mm, thus contributing significantly to tree biomass and crown cover (Fig. 4).

8 |Peter Parker consultancy advice

Fig. 6: Brushbox - counts and sizes measured as DBH within the polygons illustrated in Fig. 3

The most conspicuous tree species located along the site’s southern boundary (polygons

1, 4 and 5) was brushbox, Lophostemon confertus (Fig. 6), with 37 trees having a DBH greater than 500 mm and a significant canopy spread. This was almost three times the number of tallowwood (n=13) in the same size class (Fig. 4).

Table 2 lists the counts of trees by species in the “upper or lower strata of the tree component” as required by SEPP 44 in polygons 1, 2, 4 and 5. Tallowwood comprised of

204 trees which is 2.37% of the “upper or lower strata of the tree component”. This is well short of the 15% required to meet the SEPP 44 criteria of potential koala habitat.

Circular B35 advises that “no further provisions of the policy apply to the DA” should a development application be under consideration by Council.

2.0 Council’s requirements

Council’s first requirement is:

 Assessment of the whole of the land which is the subject of the planning proposal, particularly the forested areas

2.1 Response

The material provided above in the background to this submission clearly demonstrates that the whole of the tallowwood site has been addressed in a number of flora and fauna surveys over the past five years and that more intensive survey effort has been applied in forested areas.

Council’s second requirement is:

 Consideration of the potential impacts of the proposed rezoning and future development of approximately 65 additional residential lots with associated earthworks and infrastructure (roads, water, sewer, electricity) on the proposed R2 zoned land.

2.2 Response

The area proposed for rezoning is illustrated in Fig. 7 which is predominantly exotic grassland of negligible conservation value. However, a small clump of trees dominated by brushbox is located along a watercourse passing through the proposed R2 zone (Fig.

8). This vegetation can be adequately protected in the development application process.

14 |Peter Parker consultancy advice Council’s third requirement is:

 consideration of the provisions of the draft ‘Byron Coast Comprehensive Koala

Plan of Management’

2.3 Response

Tree surveys over the whole of the site were addressed in the background section of this submission. These included plots of the koala food tree tallowwood (Fig. 3, page 7).

Tallowwood is uncommon within the R2 zone. A single tree occurs in the vegetation clump addressed above and some small specimens are located along the north-western boundary. Accordingly, SEPP 44 will not apply to any development in the proposed R2 zone as tallowwood does not comprise 15% of the canopy or understorey tree layer. Any other provisions of the draft ‘Byron Coast Comprehensive Koala Plan of Management’ would be addressed in a development assessment. These include allotment fencing, ropes in swimming pools etc.

Council’s forth requirement is:

 Additional field survey and/or verification as required to ensure that the report adequately addresses threatened species, populations and ecological communities listed on the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 since 2011.

2.4 Response

A list of the final determinations of the NSW Scientific Committee is attached as Appendix

1. These determinations cover all of NSW and include specific habitats e.g., marine species. Only one species has relevance (Table 4).

Dusky Woodswallow 2016 Vulnerable Artamus cyanopterus cyanopterus

The Dusky Woodswallow is considered a woodland dependent bird, despite records showing a wide distribution and occurrence in a variety of habitats.

15 |Peter Parker consultancy advice The majority of breeding records for this species, as well as presence records within the breeding period, occur on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, a region dominated by woodland and open dry forest

(http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/resources/threatenedspecies/determinations/PDDu skyWoodswallowVS.pdf).

The site proposed for rezoning is largely devoid of tree and therefore does not support habitat suitable for this species (Appendix 1).

Preliminary Determination

The Scientific Committee, established by the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (the Act), has made a Preliminary Determination to support a proposal to list the Dusky Woodswallow Artamus cyanopterus cyanopterus (Latham, 1802) as a VULNERABLE SPECIES in Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Act. Listing of Vulnerable species is provided for by Part 2 of the Act.

The Scientific Committee has found that:

1. The Dusky Woodswallow Artamus cyanopterus cyanopterus (Latham, 1802) (family Artamidae) is a medium-sized bird (35 g) predominately smoky blue-grey, dusky brown or grey in colour, with white- tail-tips and a white streak at the edge of the wing (Higgins and Peter 2002). The Dusky Woodswallow appears similar to the Little Woodswallow (Artamus minor) but the former is distinguished by its larger size and bulkier appearance, distinctly paler and greyer colour and the diagnostic prominent white stripe along the leading edge of the folded wing (Higgins and Peter 2002). Juvenile Dusky Woodswallows can be distinguished from adults by plumage although once mature, adults cannot be aged and sexes are alike (Higgins and Peter 2002). The Dusky Woodswallow is unlikely to be confused with other species in the field (Higgins and Peter 2002).

2. The Dusky Woodswallow is widespread in eastern, southern and southwestern Australia (Higgins and Peter 2002; Barrett et al. 2003). In New South Wales it is widespread from coast to inland, including the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range and farther west. It is sparsely scattered in, or largely absent from, much of the Upper Western region (Higgins and Peter 2002).

3. The Dusky Woodswallow is often reported in woodlands and dry open sclerophyll forests, usually dominated by eucalypts, including mallee associations. It has also been recorded in shrublands and heathlands and various modified habitats, including regenerating forests; very occasionally in moist forests or rainforests (Higgins and Peter 2002). At sites where Dusky Woodswallows are recorded the understorey is typically open with sparse eucalypt saplings, acacias and other shrubs, including heath (Higgins and Peter 2002). The ground cover may consist of grasses, sedges or open ground, often with coarse woody debris (Higgins and Peter 2002). Birds are also often observed in farm land, usually at the edges of forest or woodland or in roadside remnants or wind breaks with dead timber (Higgins and Peter 2002; M. Schulz in litt. November 2014). In western New South Wales this species is primarily associated with River Red Gum/Black Box/Coolibah open forest/woodland associated with larger river/creek systems and is less common and far more patchily distributed in other communities such as mallee and cypress-pine woodland (M. Schulz in litt. November 2014).

4. Despite records showing a wide distribution and occurrence in a variety of habitats, the Dusky Woodswallow is considered to be a woodland dependent bird (Bennett and Ford 1997: Reid 1999, Major et al. 2001; Kavanagh et al. 2007). The majority of breeding records for this species, as well as presence records within the breeding period, occur on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, a region dominated by woodland and open dry forest (H. Ford in litt. May 2014).

5. Nesting in the Dusky Woodswallow occurs from late September to late February, with eggs present between September and January, although most eggs are present between October and early December (Higgins and Peter 2002). The nest is an open shallow untidy cup (Higgins and Peter 2002), frequently in an open hollow, crevice or stump. Clutch size is 1–4 and pairs may nest twice in a season. The fledging period is 16–20 days. Reported fledging success is 21% and hatching success is 41% (Higgins and Peter 2002). Both parents brood the eggs and feed the nestlings and fledglings need care for about a month (Higgins and Peter 2002). Fledglings appear to disperse with the flock but return to the birth

site in subsequent years (Higgins and Peter 2002). Nesting is usually solitary but occasionally occurs in loose colonies of up to 20 nests (Higgins and Peter 2002). The Dusky Woodswallow is monogamous and nests in pairs although cooperative breeding sometimes occurs (Higgins and Peter 2002). Although Dusky Woodswallows have large home ranges, individuals may spend most of their time in about a 2 ha range and defend an area about 50 m around the nest (Higgins and Peter 2002).

6. The Dusky Woodswallow primarily eats invertebrates, mainly insects, which are captured whilst hovering and sallying above the canopy or over water (Higgins and Peter 2002). Unlike other woodswallows, it also frequently hovers, sallies and pounces under the canopy, particularly over leaf litter and dead timber. Occasionally nectar, fruit and seed are also ingested (Higgins and Peter 2002). Due to its foraging mode, this species has been classified as an aerial insectivore (Loyn et al. 2010; Birdlife Australia in litt. June 2015).

7. The generation length of the Dusky Woodswallow is uncertain. BirdLife International (2014) estimated the generation length to be five years. A generation length of five years was also estimated for the Bismarck Woodswallow (Artamus insignis), White-breasted Woodswallow (Artamus leucorynchus) and Shy Woodswallow (Artamus fuscus) (BirdLife International 2014). Banding studies indicate a maximum recapture interval of eight years for the Dusky Woodswallow (Higgins and Peter 2002). The estimate of five years is used as the generation length in this Determination.

8. Depending on location and local climatic conditions (temperature and rainfall) the Dusky Woodswallow can be resident year round or migratory (Higgins and Peter 2002; M. Schulz in litt. November 2014). In New South Wales birds migrate after breeding to the north of the state and to southeast Queensland, while Tasmanian birds migrate after breeding to southeast New South Wales (Higgins and Peter 2002). Migrants generally depart March–May moving north, along the coast or inland slopes of the Great Dividing Range (Higgins and Peter 2002). Migrants generally move south in spring (September–November) to breed (Higgins and Peter 2002). There is some evidence of site fidelity for breeding (Higgins and Peter 2002). Despite breeding solitarily or only in small flocks, large flocks of up 300 have been reported in winter at abundant food sources e.g. grasshopper swarms and flowering trees, (Higgins and Peter 2002). The species may also gather in flocks before migration and often migrates with other species (Higgins and Peter 2002).

9. The total population size of the Dusky Woodswallow in New South Wales is unknown. Using published density estimates H. Ford (in litt. May 2014) calculate an estimated population size of approximately 200,000 adults in New South Wales. Whilst this population estimate is coarse, the total population in New South Wales is unlikely to be low or moderately low.

10. The distribution of the Dusky Woodswallow is not moderately restricted. The extent of occurrence (EOO) for the Dusky Woodswallow is approximately 888,000 km2 based on a minimum convex polygon enclosing all mapped occurrences of the species in New South Wales, the method of assessment recommended by IUCN (2014). The area of occupancy (AOO) was estimated to be 5,024 km2 based on 1,256 2 x 2 km grid cells, the scale recommended for assessing AOO by IUCN (2014). At the site level, the abundance of this species is known to fluctuate, both seasonally as a result of migration or seasonal movements and in response to favourable conditions. As the distribution is variable depending on conditions this species could be considered to fluctuate spatially but neither EOO or AOO would exceed an order of magnitude change. The western extent of the range is the most elastic as this species can move into arid areas when rainfall allows (e.g. Ellis and Taylor 2014).

11. The Dusky Woodswallow appears to have undergone a moderate reduction in population size. This is based on three lines of evidence: 1) decline in the state-wide reporting rate of this species, 2) decline in abundance of this species at specific sites and 3) reductions in habitat quality.

12. There is evidence of at least 30% decline in reporting rate (the proportion of surveys where the species was recorded as present) for the Dusky Woodswallow over three generations (15 years). Birdlife Australia performed a state-wide analysis using a slightly modified version of the methods of Cunningham and Olsen (2008). Reporting rates within standardised surveys conducted by citizen scientists (2 ha, 20 minute see Barrett et al. 2003) were used as an index of abundance. Mean reporting rate declined from ~4.5% (range ~3.75–5.2 at 95% CI) at the beginning of the period (spring 2001) to ~2.5% (range ~1.5–3% at 95% CI) as of 2013 (Birdlife Australia in litt. June 2015). This approximates a 52% (range 24–79%) decline in reporting rate over three generations (15 years) at the state scale. While the lower end of the confidence limit is only 24% decline, trends in reporting rates are likely to underestimate rates of decline for this species for several reasons. Presence/absence data poorly document declines of abundance within sites for an easily observed species such as the Dusky Woodswallow (H. Ford in litt. May 2014). In addition, to ensure the analysis was statistically robust, a subset of sites that had sufficient repeat visits over time was used, which means that poor quality sites or sites where habitat was cleared were likely to be excluded despite the fact that such sites might show the most marked decline. Nonetheless, reporting rate analyses provide important insight into decline because they represent evidence available at the state scale (Hope 2015).

13. Analyses of declines in actual abundance from well-designed investigations are less prone to underestimate rates of decline but tend to be limited temporally and spatially. Reid and Cunningham (2008) analysed data from 2002 to 2007 for the Cowra region on the New South Wales southwest slopes as part of the Cowra Woodland Birds project (run by Birdlife Australia). Using a nonlinear analysis which provided the best fit to the actual abundance data, abundance of the Dusky Woodswallow was shown to decline by ~73% over the study period in that region, with total abundance at 34 sites dropping from ~49 in 2002 to ~13 in 2007. While this is only one region within New South Wales, the degree of past habitat clearing and ongoing threats are similar to other parts of the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, the core breeding habitat for the species.

14. There is also substantial evidence for both past and ongoing reductions in habitat quality for the Dusky Woodswallow, likely leading to a reduction in population size. Historical rates of land clearing are high in the regions in which this species is most often reported with most remaining vegetation consisting of paddock trees, wind breaks or small remnants (Benson 2008). Both Kavanagh et al. (2007) and Debus (2006) found that Dusky Woodswallows prefer larger remnants over smaller remnants. Past clearing could be leading to further current declines as a result of extinction debt (Ford et al. 2009). In addition, competitive exclusion by Noisy Miners (Manorina melanocephala) is a significant threat to this species (Maron et al. 2013) and there is evidence that Noisy Miners are increasing in abundance in the woodland habitats of the Dusky Woodswallow (NSW Scientific Committee 2013). Currawongs, magpies and butcherbirds are also positively associated with Noisy Miners (Maron et al. 2013) and are significant nest predators. Meta-analysis by Remes et al. (2012) found that daily nest predation rates on open nests in south eastern Australia have increased from 1% in 1970 to 2.5% in 2010 with the likely cause a large-scale ecological phenomenon, such as an increase in nest predators. Given the foraging habit of the Dusky Woodswallow and its association with dead timber, other disturbances to the ground layer that impact invertebrate availability such as inappropriate fire regimes, excessive grazing and removal of coarse woody debris are potential threats to this species that decrease habitat quality. ‘Clearing of native vegetation’, ‘Aggressive exclusion of birds by noisy miners (Manorina melanocephala)’, and ‘Removal of dead wood and dead trees’ are listed as Key Threatening Processes under the Act.

Index to Final Determinations – 1996 –2016

(Updated to 5/8/2016)

The NSW Scientific Committee is established under the Threatened Species Conservation Act and commenced in 1996. The Committee identifies and assesses species and other entities for listing as threatened in the Schedules of the Act as follows:

Schedule 1A – Critically endangered species (CRES) and critically endangered ecological communities (CR EEC) Schedule 1 – Species presumed extinct (SPE), endangered species (ES), endangered populations (EP) and endangered ecological communities (EEC) Schedule 2 – Vulnerable species (VS) and vulnerable ecological communities (VEC) Schedule 3 – Key threatening processes (KTP)

Final determinations, which give the reasons for listing, are available for those entities listed or reviewed by the Committee since the Act commenced in 1996. Species that were already listed in the Schedules at the commencement of the Act and have not been reviewed since then do not have a Final determination.

The Committee may also make minor amendment Determinations under Section 36a (S36a) of the Act to correct minor errors or omissions or to make changes to species names as a result of taxonomic revision. S36a Determinations may relate to one or two species eg Giant Dragonfly (taxonomic split) and these Determinations have been included in the Index. Other section 36A Determinations which make changes to a large number of species are not included in the Index. These Determinations may be viewed on the website at: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/committee/schedulesthreatenedspeciesconservationa ct.htm

Some Determinations in the index have been identified for transfer to an Archive Determination page which is yet to be created. Some early Determinations have already been removed from the website while later Determinations may still be available. After checking the website, please contact Sue Chate on 02 9585 6940 or email [email protected] if you wish to access a Determination that is not on the website.

A year marked with an asterisk (*) in the index shows the year the species was added to the Schedules following a provisional listing on an emergency basis. The later year is when the listing was confirmed with a Final Determination.
