The gallery forest along the creek contains as dominant species Melaleuca viminalis, Callitris intratropica, Melaleuca leucadendra, Tristaniopsis exiliiflora, Banksia aquilona and Bursaria tenuifolia with the open forest adjacent to the track to the falls mainly dominated by Eucalyptus leptophleba and Eucalyptus granitica. Two plant families in particular have been overlooked namely the Fabaceae and the Poaceae. Further visits and collection of specimens for identification would be necessary for these difficult to identify in the field families.

Jago) The substrate and outcrops adjacent to the falls are composed of Tinaroo Granite (280-270 million years of age) with the face of the falls composed of a fine grained aplite dyke, which was probably injected around the later stages of the solidification of the Tinaroo Granite.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion
    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

    POLICY No 7 POLICY No 7 LANDSCAPING DOUGLAS SHIRE COUNCIL PLANNING SCHEME POLICY NO 7 Landscaping Intent The intent of this Policy is to specify landscaping procedures, design requirements and a Plant Species Schedule for developments which have landscaping requirements. This Policy should be read in conjunction with the Landscaping Code and other relevant parts of the Planning Scheme. Objectives The objectives of this Policy are: • to ensure high quality landscaping throughout the Shire; • to provide for a distinctive landscape character to develop in different Localities throughout the Shire; and • to establish guidelines which ensure high quality landscaping is provided and maintained as an important visual element which contributes to the landscape integrity of the Shire. Content This Landscaping Policy incorporates the following: • Landscape Procedures and Assessment; • Minimum Design Requirements for Development • Minimum Design Requirements for Reconfiguring a Lot • Landscape Zones in the Douglas Shire • Plant Species Schedule Information to be Provided Detailed Landscape Plans prepared by a suitably qualified professional drawn to scale, are to be submitted to the Council for assessment prior to the issue of a Building Permit. However, in the case of developments which are Code assessable or Impact assessable, a Landscape Plan is to be submitted with the Development Assessment Application. The Landscape Plan is to address the requirements set out in the Landscaping Code and to include: • the location, size, and species of existing vegetation; • vegetation to be retained and necessary protective measures; • any vegetation proposed to be removed; • existing and proposed surface levels; August, 2006 Page 48 • location of hard and soft landscaped areas; • the indicative location, number, size and species of plants; and • a Statement of Intent outlining the intent of each element of the Plan.
