Senex proposes to develop a coal seam gas field within these ATP’s, referred to as the Western Surat Gas Project (WSGP), and will require documentation to be prepared to support project approval. This Biodiversity Environmental Values Report has been developed to document the baseline values that are associated with the WSGP Production Area (a subset of the WSGP area), with a focus on matters of national environmental significance (MNES) and matters of State environmental significance (MSES), in order to inform impact assessment for the development of EA amendment supporting documentation and EPBC Referral supporting documentation. The WSGP will involve development of up to 425 wells across the Production Area, three field compressor stations and one central processing facility. The exact location of the facilities is under development and will be finalised as the development progresses. The WSGP is located within a rural landscape dominated by grazing and other agricultural land uses. As a result the Production Area is largely cleared with 16% mapped as remnant vegetation. Vegetated areas are generally associated with riparian zones and other isolated patches. The Gubberamunda State Forest Areas are located within the Production Area and represent some of the larger vegetated areas. The biodiversity environmental values were assessed using a combination of desktop sources and field surveys. Desktop sources included a number of ecological studies undertaken since 2015 within the Production Area, targeting the verification of remnant vegetation type and extent and habitats, as well as the presence of MNES and MSES values. Desktop sources included previous studies, available mapping products and species records. Field surveys were undertaken across a number of events, focussing on a number of target areas within the Production Area and utilising methods consistent with Neldner et al (2012) and Eyre et al (2014). Eight broad terrestrial habitat types were determined to occur within the Production Area. The vegetation communities present includes two communities consistent with Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 listed threatened ecological communities, and three regional ecosystem types listed as Endangered under the Vegetation Management Act 1999. The waterways of the Production Area were also assessed although characteristics were largely ephemeral with very little permanent water located within the site, aside from dam storages. The outcomes of the desktop assessment and field surveys were analysed to inform a likelihood of occurrence assessment relating to threatened species and communities. Fifty-five species were analysed for likelihood of occurrence, with 23 species identified as ‘confirmed’ or ‘possible’ to occur based on the presence of records or suitable habitat features. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT AUSTRALIA 0386887/FINAL/31 MAY 2017 I Overall, the assessment identified the following key environmental values as confirmed or potentially occurring within the Production Area: • Thirteen RE types including three RE types listed as Endangered (Biodiversity Status) under the VM Act and four RE types listed as Of Concern (Biodiversity Status) under the VM Act; • Three flora species considered possible to occur that are listed as Endangered, Vulnerable or Near Threatened under the NC Act; • Twelve fauna species confirmed or considered possible to occur that are listed as Endangered, Vulnerable or Near Threatened under the NC Act, as well as seven species noted to be Special Least Concern Species under the NC Act; • Category B and C Environmental Sensitive Areas as defined by the Environment Protection Regulation 2008; • A number of prescribed environmental matters as defined by the Environmental Offsets Regulation 2014; specifically endangered REs, of concern REs, REs intersecting a wetland, REs within a defined distance of watercourse, connectivity, and protected wildlife habitat; and • Habitat for two MNES: • Three threatened ecological communities listed under the EPBC Act confirmed or potentially occurring within the Production Area. Twelve EPBC Act listed threatened species confirmed or considered possible to occur; and • Nine migratory bird species.

  • Ecological Health Monitoring Framework
    Ecological Health DRAFT Monitoring Framework: Pilliga Summary Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) and the NSW Government have signed an historic agreement (Extinct Mammal Agreement) under which AWC will deliver scientific and land management services in the Pilliga State Conservation Area and the Pilliga National Park (Gilgai Section). For the purposes of this document, the area covered by the Extinct Mammal Agreement will be referred to as the “Pilliga project area”. It covers approximately 36,000 ha (Figure 1). The Extinct Mammal Agreement gives effect to a commitment under the NSW Government’s Saving our Species policy. Central to the Extinct Mammal Agreement is a requirement for AWC, on behalf of the NSW Government, to establish a large (5,000 ha+) feral predator-free area, protected by a conservation fence, into which mammal species listed as extinct in NSW will be reintroduced in the Pilliga project area. AWC is also contracted to deliver science and land management services, such as feral animal and weed control, across the Pilliga project area (fenced and unfenced sections). This Ecological Health Monitoring Framework (EHMF) is designed to measure the changes in ecological health across the Pilliga project area associated with the delivery of the project. In other words, the EHMF will provide for the measurement, assessment and reporting of key impacts and benefits both inside and outside the feral predator-free (fenced) area. This framework for monitoring the ecological health of the Pilliga project area therefore: Provides for the selection of indicators of ecological health (biodiversity indicators, threat indicators and ecosystem process indicators). Sets out a rigorous and representative survey design, incorporating a range of survey methods, to measure any changes in the ecological health indicators.

  • Jimblebar East and Caramulla Fauna Survey
    BHP Billiton Iron Ore Pty Ltd Jimblebar East and Caramulla Fauna Survey August 2019 Executive summary Introduction BHP Western Australian Iron Ore (BHP) engaged GHD to undertake a Level 2 single season vertebrate fauna survey covering the Jimblebar East and Caramulla areas (the survey area). The survey area is positioned directly east of the current Jimblebar mining operation, approximately 60 kilometres (km) east of Newman. The results of the fauna survey will be used to inform future environmental approvals across the area. This report is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, the limitations set out in section 1.2.1 and the assumptions and qualifications contained throughout the report. Survey effort Field survey consisted a twelve day single season Level 2 assessment from 29 April to 10 May 2019. Habitat assessment was conducted in accordance with the BHP fauna survey guidelines. Trapping for terrestrial vertebrate fauna was undertaken using a series of standardised systematic trapping quadrat sites, remote sensor cameras, acoustic recorders and non- systematic survey methods. Eight trapping sites were sampled for 7 to 9 consecutive trap-nights and included buckets, pipes, cages, funnels and Elliott traps. Additionally at least 1 night was sampled for bat acoustics (12 nights total), 60 to 120 minutes of night search, 60 to 120 minutes of active search and 60 to 140 minutes of bird assessments undertaken at each site. The total trapping effort consisted of 2520 trap-nights (total trap effort), 820 minutes of bird assessments, 540 minutes of active searches, 510 minutes of night searches, 16 nights of Night Parrot acoustic assessment, 28 nights of Bat detection, 143 camera nights, 1000 minute of additional active search effort and 840 minutes of Bilby plot assessments.

Vertebrate Beginnings: Text © The McGraw−Hill Animal Diversity, Third The Chordates Companies, 2002 Edition 15 chapter •••••• fifteen Vertebrate Beginnings The Chordates It’s a Long Way from Amphioxus Along the more southern coasts of North America, half buried in sand on the seafloor,lives a small fishlike translucent animal quietly filtering organic particles from seawater.Inconspicuous, of no commercial value and largely unknown, this creature is nonetheless one of the famous animals of classical zoology.It is amphioxus, an animal that wonderfully exhibits the four distinctive hallmarks of the phylum Chordata—(1) dorsal, tubular nerve cord overlying (2) a supportive notochord, (3) pharyngeal slits for filter feeding, and (4) a postanal tail for propulsion—all wrapped up in one creature with textbook simplicity. Amphioxus is an animal that might have been designed by a zoologist for the classroom. During the nineteenth century,with inter- est in vertebrate ancestry running high, amphioxus was considered by many to resemble closely the direct ancestor of the vertebrates. Its exalted position was later acknowledged by Philip Pope in a poem sung to the tune of “Tipperary.”It ends with the refrain: It’s a long way from amphioxus It’s a long way to us, It’s a long way from amphioxus To the meanest human cuss. Well,it’s good-bye to fins and gill slits And it’s welcome lungs and hair, It’s a long, long way from amphioxus But we all came from there. But amphioxus’place in the sun was not to endure.For one thing,amphioxus lacks one of the most important of vertebrate charac- teristics,a distinct head with special sense organs and the equipment for shifting to an active predatory mode of life.
