If you indicate in your written submission that you object to your submission being made public, we will ask you before releasing your submission in response to any access applications under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. 1 Why amend the plan? Plans of management are legal documents that are prepared, in consultation with the community, as outlined in Part 5 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974. Once a plan of management is adopted by the Minister for Energy and Environment, operations in a park must be carried out in accordance with the plan. The Barrington Tops National Park, Mount Royal National Park and Barrington Tops State Conservation Area Plan of Management was adopted in 2010. Section 73B of the National Parks and Wildlife Act enables the Minister to amend a plan of management. The proposed changes to the Barrington Tops National Park, Mount Royal National Park and Barrington Tops State Conservation Area Plan of Management will enable: • improvements to visitor facilities and management at camping and day use areas • improvements to walking tracks • updates to park information for currency. Improvements to visitor facilities and management In 2018, Barrington Tops National Park received an estimated 120,000 visits. Visitation to the park continues to increase. Gummi Falls camping and day use area receives an estimated 3000 visits per annum, which exceeds the capacity of existing visitor facilities. Competition for space, overflow bush camping and driving off-trail has negatively impacted native plants, the adjacent Manning River and the visitor experience. Existing outdated toilet facilities pose a safety risk to staff and visitors. The proposed upgrades to the Gummi Falls camping and day use area will enhance the visitor experience, improve camping amenity and reduce safety risks to staff and visitors, maintenance requirements and adverse impacts on the park’s significant values. Visitor and vehicle movements into sensitive areas next to the river will be restricted. Improvements to visitor facilities at several other camping and day use areas and walking tracks across the parks are also proposed, subject to economic feasibility, to enhance the visitor experience, manage increasing demand for visitor facilities and recreation opportunities and reduce impacts to park values. Amendments to the plan will additionally enable: • provision of additional camping sites and visitor facilities at Gummi Falls, Youngville, Little Murray, Junction Pools and Devils Hole camping areas • year-round entry to Gummi Falls camping area, subject to access upgrade • provision of additional visitor facilities at Polblue Falls, Williams Top, Gummi, Williams River and Lagoon Pinch day use areas • development and implementation of a walking track strategy for Mount Royal National Park • inclusion of facilities that have been established, in line with the plan, at Youngville, Cobark Park and Jerusalem Creek and removal of outdated or completed visitor infrastructure actions from the plan. 2 Updates required for currency The proposed amendment to the plan will also: • correct trail names (on maps and in text) • correct map symbology • remove reference to pigs in Mount Royal National Park • correct the Pieries Peak walking trail classification. How to read the amendment The proposed amendment, if adopted, would change the Barrington Tops National Park, Mount Royal National Park and Barrington Tops State Conservation Area Plan of Management and should read in conjunction with the adopted plan. Section numbers referred to in the amendment refer to the adopted plan of management. 3 Proposed amendments The following changes are proposed to the Barrington Tops National Park, Mount Royal National Park and Barrington Tops State Conservation Area Plan of Management (NPWS 2010). 1.

It is done not only on NPWS managed lands, but right across New South Wales. This chapter is about conservation management in its N Graham/NPWS broadest sense and includes activities through which the NPWS is contributing to the achievement of NSW Biodiversity Strategy objectives. Working with Aboriginal communities The NPWS works with Aboriginal communities to achieve the protection of natural and cultural heritage through mechanisms that also deliver social and economic benefits. In the north of the state, the NPWS continued to consult with the Bundjalung and Githabul communities in order to improve NPWS management of areas and ensure its sensitivity to cultural issues. Steering groups have been formed for Mount Warning (Wollumbin) and Bundjalung national parks which will focus on developing NPWS Fire Management Officer Martin O’Connell and co-management agreements for these two parks. This process is important in Arakwal Community elders Auntie Linda Vidler and promoting the cultural significance of parks and reserves in the area.

  • New Australian and Australian State Lichen and Lichenicolous Lichen Reports
    J Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 90: 269- 291 (July. 2001) NEW AUSTRALIAN AND AUSTRALIAN STATE LICHEN AND LICHENICOLOUS LICHEN REPORTS 1 2 3 4 D. ALLEN , H. T. LUMBSCH , S. MADDEN AND H. SrPMAN ABSTRACT. Based on recent acquisitions of the Australian National Herbarium since 1982, mainly the collections of J.A.Elix and H.Streimann, new distribution data are presented for 162 species. This includes 31 species new to Australia: Acarospora reagens, Co/lema fragrans, Cyphelium australe, Dictyonema ligulatum, Dimerella pineti, Diploschistes farinosus, D. gyrophoricus, Dirinaria compli­ cata, Heterodermia isidiophora, Hyperphyscia pruinosa, Megalospora atrorubicans ssp. atrorubi­ cans, Myriotrema bahianum, M. compunctum, M. terebratulum, Ocellularia aurata, 0. berkeleyana, Ochrolechia africana, Opegrapha .filicina, 0. phylloporinae, Peltula marginata, Physcia dimidiata, Porina sphaerocephala, Porpidia cinereoatra, Pyrenula corticata, Pyxine cylindrica, Thelotrema platysporum, Thyrea confusa, Trapelia involuta, Trichothelium triseptatum, Trypethelium aeneum, Umbilicaria nylanderiana. Most of these are tropical taxa, found in Queensland. The other species are newly recorded for one or more Australian states. Seventeen years have elapsed since the last significant report (Elix & Streimann 1982) of new lichen records based on collections held at the Cryptogamic Herbarium of the Aus­ tralian National Herbarium (CANB). However, interesting and significant finds have been reported by various authors in revisions and in the Australasian Lichenology (formerly Australiasian Lichenological Newsletter) with many of these reports based on CANB col­ lections. The CANB collections have grown significantly since 1982 with the donation by Prof. J.A. Elix of his lichen collections and the continuing collecting program to northern Aus­ tralia which have added significantly to the knowledge of Australian lichenology.
