  • Eucalyptus Balanites Interim Recovery Plan 2004-2009
    WA INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 182 CADDA ROAD MALLEE (EUCALYPTUS BALANITES) RECOVERY PLAN Department of Environment and Conservation Species and Communities Branch (SCB) Kensington Recovery Plan for Eucalyptus balanites FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) [now Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC)] Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. DEC is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from May 2004 to April 2009 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a full recovery plan assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 30 August, 2004 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 24 September, 2004. The provision of funds and personnel identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities. This IRP was prepared with financial support from the Australian Government to be adopted as a National Recovery Plan under the provisions of the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

  • Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) (Current Document) for the DP
    Department Of Communities - Housing Environmental Assessment for Davis Park March 2019 Executive summary The Department of Communities – Housing (Housing) has assembled a project team, with Urbis being the lead town planning consultant, to prepare for the lodgement and approval of the Davis Park Local Structure Plan (DPLSP). The aim of the DLSP is to guide the future development of the Davis Park (DP). The DP is located along major arterial roads and within 3 km of Fremantle CBD and 20 km of Perth CBD. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was commissioned by Housing to provide an environmental assessment report (EAR) (current document) for the DP. The EAR includes a desktop and vegetation assessment of the project area to identify environmental constraints and native vegetation on site. This information will be used to assist in the design process. It is GHD’s understanding that this EAR will be included in the DPLSP report. This report is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, the limitations set out in section 1.6 and the assumptions and qualifications contained throughout the Report. Key findings Desktop assessment The project area is located on the Spearwood Dunes landform system and consists of brown and yellow sands of varying depths over limestone. The project area slopes in an east to west direction towards Bruce Lee Reserve. No Local Water Management Strategies or Stormwater drainage studies were available for the study area. Broad scale pre-European vegetation mapping revealed one vegetation association within the project area: Jarrah, marri and wandoo Eucalyptus marginata, Corymbia calophylla, E. wandoo (association 998).

The Reserve is named for the Xanthorrhoea plants that are a feature of the Wandoo woodland understorey on the rises in the Reserve. This Xanthorrhoea is X. acanthostachya a relatively restricted species near its most northern location in the Reserve. The fire earlier in the year has resulted in the Xanthorrhoea plants flowering together. Other shrubs are either regrowing from seed or rootstocks and are currently at low density. Photographs © Bronwen Keighery. 2 SUMMARY Blackboy Ridge Reserve is a small 61 hectare reserve vested in the Shire of Chittering on the southern side of Chittering Road, about 20 kilometres south-east of Bindoon. Quadrat based survey work was performed in the Reserve on the 23rd October 2010 by a group of conservation volunteers as part of a Bioblitz in the Reserve organised by the World Wildlife Fund.
