Other than in wet times, the vast majority ol water entering the Georges River at the Woolwash (Airds) is collected within O’Hares Creek and its tributaries. This is further increased from creeks within the Holsworthy Military Area and a few small creeks from the Campbelltown Council area. The proposal does not include open space within the Wollondillyshire Council area, as we be- lieved that all land along the river was in private hands. It also does not include the Old Wedderburn State Forest as a large part of this area is owned by the Aboriginal people and a part of that is leased as an airport. This Proposal does not protect the important wildlife corridor between the Georges and Nepean Rivers west of the Appin/Campbelltown Road. Neither does it include the area between Wedderburn Road Causeway and Appin Road along Kellicar Road where a proposed development of 355 houses would block the movement of native animals between the two rivers. It is hoped that these important areas can be either purchased or very significant wildlife corridors incorporated into every development to allow native animals to continue to disperse between the two rivers and protect creek lines. KOALA The last healthy and expanding Koala population within the Sydney Basin has chosen to live along the Georges River corridor mostly within the Campbelltown City Council region. This has been confirmed in the Draft Campbelltown Koala Plan of Management and by many years of studies by Assoc..Prof. Robert Close University of Western Sydney. The Koala population is now known to have spread south into the township of Appin , west into the Nepean River catchment and east across the Holsworthy Military Reserve to Heathcote Road. (Campbelltown Koala Research and Database) PLATYPUS The only known population within Georges River has been found within Campbelltown City Council region. A copy of Dr. Tom Grant’s Records have been included within this proposal and these records have been previously entered onto the NPWS Wildlife Atlas. THREATENED PLANT AND WOODLAND COMMUNTIES From the tiniest ground orchid to Cumberland Plain Woodland and Shale Sandstone Transition Forest an impressive array of flora has been well documented in the past, and falls within the Proposed National Park area. Further studies do need to be undertaken. LANDSCAPE Hawkesbury Sandstone is the dominant landscape forming rock and gives rise to a structural plateau, roughly coincident with the top of the sandstone dissected by steep gorges. 3 THREATS TO THE REGION: Subdivision, Proposed High Speed Train, Georges River Parkway and its spurs (still shown on maps) which will go through prime Koala habitat, Spring Farm link Road which will break up another corridor, and thus reduce Noorumba Reserve, where Koalas have been recorded. Appin Road is already currently a high risk for Koala mortality and the planned upgrade of Campbelltown to Appin Road to at least 4 lanes will increase the mortality rate for Koalas and other native animals. Inappropriate use of motorised bikes, dumping, litter and sedimentation run off into streams is also an ongoing problem SOUTH 32 EMPLACEMENT AREA The Emplacement Area blocks movement of native animals from the Georges River to the Cataract River plus Southern Sydney Water Areas. Large areas of bushland are still being cleared. The present regeneration of woodland on old emplacement areas using local species may open this corridor to native animals sometime in the future. ABORIGNAL HERITAGE This has been well documented in the past, in and near to the river gorge, including artefacts, rubbing grooves, drawings, a birthing cave and the Bull Cave. Most of this discovery and re- cording was done by the Sydney Pre History Group in the 1970’s WILDLIFE CORRIDORS It has been long established by local council and state government that the Georges River Regional Open Space between Appin and Glenfield should be protected and yet no serious legislation is in place to ensure its protection. The only sure way of ensuring the long term continuing protection of the area is to declare an Upper Georges River National Park. If government of all levels is serious about the protection of the viable Koala population then the Upper Georges River National Park and Wildlife Corridors between the Georges and Nepean Rivers must be established during planning for the Greater Macarthur Priority Growth Plan to maintain the present free movement of native animals. The Dharawal Nature Reserve, National Park and State Conservation Area is part of the link between the coastal National Parks, the Holsworthy Military Area, drinking water catchments, the Nepean River, and then on to the Blue Mountains. The Upper Georges River National Park would be an extension of the wider corridor which if well planned would also link to the Nepean River and its various National Parks and drinking water catchments. The Georges River Regional Open Space Study Campbelltown City Council (March1976) states that The Regional Open Space is not a temporary land holding which can be used for speculation, exploitation, or industrial purposes. 4 An Upper Georges River National Park would enhance existing wildlife corridors.

No amendments are proposed to Part 3. In addition as the proposed SEPP will not rezone any land, the provisions in Part 3 will not apply in the Greater Macarthur Priority Growth Area. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THE KEY OUTCOMES OF THE CONSULTATION INCLUDED: Natural areas should be conserved and linked and biodiversity and heritage pro- tected. What will be done to protect flora and fauna and the linkages between the Nepean and Georges Rivers? THE DEPARTMENT WILL PROTECT FLORA AND FAUNA BY: Under taking the biocertification of native vegetation to protect flora. Identifying fauna corridors. Planning for wetlands, ponds and treatments to protect water quality in rivers. Implementing air quality protection initiatives. 9 FLORA Plant communities vary along the river, but generally in very good condition. Eucalyptus wood- land, inc. E saligna, sieberi, crebra, tereticornis, gummifera, maculata, haemastoma, pilularis, amongst many. Acacia/wattle family is well represented, and closely related, the pea family pro- vides amazing colour at this time of year. Eriostemon and crowea provide lush looking wax flow- ers, while the heath family has Epacris, Leucopogon, Woolsia as well as some less common mem- bers of this family. Proteaceae are the Grevilleas, bottlebrushes/Banksias, geebungs/Persoonias, mountain devils/Lambertias, Native parsley/Lomatia. Several species of all of these. Callistemon/ bottlebrush, Melaleuca. Turpentine trees in the more fertile soil. Plenty of grasses and ground cov- ers, including lilies and ferns. Amongst the rocks in the river, Lomandra fluviatilis, which is rare and endangered. We have a number of less common/rare and endangered species in the area.

  • Submission to Australia's Faunal Extinction Crisis Inquiry
    Supplementary to my submission of the 5th September 2018 I would appreciate it if the panel would take the following information into account most of the local information has been taken from the web site: Campbelltown Koala Research and Database.com. which is Report undertaken by Prof. Robert Close and his team over a 27 year period.. www.campbelltown research and database.com 13th August 2019 Submission to Australia’s Faunal Extinction Crisis Inquiry Patricia Durman 28th July 2019 Thank you for allowing us to submit a submission into the state of koalas in NSW, my knowledge is mainly restricted to the local koala population and I have aimed this submission to the protection of these animals, but regard all native animals including koalas as part of the ecosystem that is required to keep the planet healthy. It is unfortunate that unless the panel has the power to delay development until they have made their report and it has been accepted by the government the Campbelltown koala population will have been seriously endangered by subdivision and the installation of new roads. I have referred to the koala population as the Campbelltown population, but this, of course, refers to all koalas living in the South West region of Sydney including Sutherland. HISTORY Although there were a few extinctions of native flora and fauna once the Aboriginal people had landed in Australia 40,000 years ago, perhaps even longer in the Cape York region, it wasn’t until Europeans arrived and cleared vast areas of bushland that the extinction of native animals escalated and in only 200 years we have become the continent with the most amount of extinction in the world.

Kevin Richard Rozzoli) took the chair at 9 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. GARIGAL NATIONAL PARK (EXTENSION) BILL Bill introduced and read a first time. Second Reading Dr METHERELL (Davidson) [9.0]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The eyes of history are upon this House. It is time for a new vision that embraces both environmental protection and opportunities for sustainable development for the future. This is a particularly historic opportunity for this House to complete a task that the first Australian settlers commenced more than 200 years ago when they set aside Sydney's foreshores. Recently, areas such as Kuring-Gai Chase were set aside. We have an opportunity to recognise that dream in the minds of our ancestors and to complete it by linking the Hawkesbury River in the north with Sydney Harbour in the south to form a network of national parks for future generations. I refer to our history because, no matter what our position is in the spectrum of views on environmental protection, all of us acknowledge the magnificent legacy of areas such as the Kuring-Gai Chase National Park and the Royal National Park. They and so many of the other national parks around this State and nation were left to this generation and for future generations by people who had the vision to set aside lands of natural grandeur and lands that protected our endangered flora and fauna.

  • Airstrips and Helipads in NSW National Parks
    Airstrips and helipads in NSW national parks Aviation infrastructure such as airstrips and helipads, are not common in our national parks but many parks do have them. The airstrips and helipads within our national parks are managed and maintained by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, and are used for a wide range of management purposes such as trackwork, bushfire management, and scientific surveys, as well as for emergency purposes such as search and rescue, bushfire fighting and medical emergencies. The airstrips and helipads within national parks are NOT open to general aviation. Legislated Plans of Management (PoM) govern how each national park is managed (you can find out more about Plans of Management and view individual park PoMs here https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/parks-reserves-and-protected-areas/park- management/plans-of-management). Where parks have airstrips and helipads they are usually included in the relevant plans of management, including for what purposes they can be used for. Some examples include the following: Mutawintji National Park. The Plan of Management 2013 (p26 and 95) outlines that the airstrip on the park “was previously used by visitors flying to Mutawintji to see the engraving and ochre art sites, as well as being used by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) during emergencies…and was used by the NPWS for access and park management operations”. However, the POM goes on to state the airstrip is not currently in use “as it is too short to safely accommodate new RFDS aircraft. The strip is also eroded in places and the nearby ridges make aircraft approaches difficult in many circumstances”.
