Georges River Data Compilation EPS FINAL Sept 2010.Part 2 7 FORESHORE EROSION AND STRUCTURES ASSESSMENT SMEC has assessed the severity of foreshore erosion and condition of existing foreshore structures through a series of field visits in late 2009. This section of the report presents summaries of erosion and foreshore erosion protection and stormwater structures on a site by site basis, assigning gradings of light, moderate or severe to the foreshore erosion, and condition assessments for seawalls as good, fair or poor. Management responses for each particular site are suggested. Locations of foreshore erosion and foreshore structure assessments are mapped and described in Appendix 2. Particular sites for management actions are prioritised based on a catchment wide basis, and on an LGA basis. Priorities for particular management actions at particular sites were based on a combination of cost and environmental benefit. 7.1 Introduction Some erosion occurs with various degrees of severity in various locations all along the Georges River foreshore. In general, most erosion occurs in the areas of the river underlain by Wianamatta Shales in the upper reaches while the lower reaches are located in sandstone or are highly urbanised and protected by seawalls. The study team visited the site over several days by land and boat to assess the severity of erosion and the seawall conditions along the Georges River foreshore. Foreshore erosion along the Georges River is generally due to factors such as boat waves, tidal undercutting, floods and stormwater runoff. Erosion was rated as being light, moderate or high/severe. Many seawalls have been constructed along the Georges River. Most of them are located in the lower reaches and all around Chipping Norton foreshore. Seawall conditions were rated as followed: Good: the seawall is quite new or intact; it is properly engineered and does not need any maintenance or only minor maintenance. Fair: the seawall is in relatively good condition but would need maintenance or upgrades Poor: Dumped materials, collapsed seawall or seawall in need of major maintenance and upgrades Locations of foreshore erosion are provided in Table A in Appendix 2. The seawall assessment is documented in Table B in Appendix 2. The numbered locations are indicated on the maps 1 to 45. The recommendation options refer to the option presented in Section 7.3. Key management options per council and for the Georges River are described in Section 7.4. Stormwater, GPTs and WSUD are described in Section 7.5 and in Table C in Appendix 2. The prioritisation was undertaken using a “cost x environmental gain” methodology. This means that the lower the cost and the higher the environmental benefit, the higher the priority. 7.2 Site Summaries 7.2.1 Liverpool Weir to Moore Lake Results of the assessment of the foreshore erosion and seawalls at this location are summarised below and in Figure 1 of Appendix 2. 7.2.1.1 Foreshore Erosion The main channel of the Georges River between Liverpool Weir and Moore Lake is not protected by seawall – except the area surrounding the Liverpool Weir – and is subject to erosion (Figure 7.1). The foreshore along the railway is highly-to-severely eroded as well as the north-western part of McMillan Park foreshore. Some light undercutting occurs on the foreshore opposite the park and moderate erosion occurs opposite the railway (location reference E1 to E6). Figure 7.1 – Severe erosion between Liverpool Weir and Moore Lake Recommendations Suggested management options for the erosion management are given in Table 7.1 below.

There are only a few seawalls along the foreshore upstream of Chipping Norton. A small gabion seawall supported by sheet piles is located along the northern bank between McMillan Park and Gandangara Island (Figure 7.2). This seawall looks to be in relatively good condition but has been covered with invasive plants (location reference S1-2).

The Georges River embankments surrounding this island suffer from light to moderate erosion. The area downstream of this island but upstream of the private dwellings located along the river on the eastern bank within the bend is subject to high erosion (Figure 7.4). Many of the private dwellings have their own seawall and some undercutting is noticeable between the private seawalls (location reference E11 to E16). Between the bend of the river and the Cabramatta Creek entrance, some erosion is visible on both side of the river (location reference E17 to E20).

We assessed frog diversity in the Macquarie Marshes, a semi-arid floodplain wetland of conserva- tion significance, identifying environmental variables that might explain abundances and detection of species. We collected relative abundance data of 15 amphibian species at 30 sites over four months, coinciding with a large natural flood. We observed an average of 39.9 ± (SE) 4.3 (range, 0-246) individuals per site survey, over 47 survey nights. Three non-burrowing, ground-dwelling species were most abundant at temporarily flooded sites with low- growing aquatic vegetation (e.g., Limnodynastes tasmaniensis, Limnodynastes fletcheri, Crinia parinsignifera). Most arboreal species (e.g., Litoria caerulea) were more abundant in wooded habitat, regardless of water permanency.

    Expert Witness Report Report prepared on instructions of: Bleyer Lawyers, Level 1, 550 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, Vic 3000 Australia Prepared by: Graeme Gillespie B.Sc. Ph.D. 55 Union Street, Northcote, Vic 3070, Australia Curriculum Vitae Attached (Appendix I) I have read the Expert Witness Code of Conduct and agree to be bound by it. Graeme Gillespie 23 February 2010 Qualifications and Experience Please see my curriculum vitae (Appendix I) for my general qualifications and experience. My Ph.D. in zoology focussed specifically on the conservation biology and ecology of frog species in south-eastern Australia. I have 23 years of field and scientific experience studying amphibians and their conservation and management in south- eastern Australia. I have published 24 refereed scientific papers and 38 technical reports on amphibian ecology, conservation and management. I am recognised throughout Australia as an authority on the frog fauna of Victoria, specifically with respect to conservation issues, and I am regularly asked to provide advice on such matters to individuals, government conservation and land management agencies, and non-government organisations. With regard to the Giant Burrowing Frog, I encountered this species on several occasions between 1986 and 1992 while undertaking and supervising pre-logging biodiversity surveys in East Gippsland, Victoria. These records are documented in the Victorian Wildlife Atlas. During this period, I gained knowledge of the species’ habitat associations, breeding biology, some aspects of its behaviour and an appreciation of its conservation status in Victoria (see Opie et al. 1990; Westaway et al.1990; Lobert et al. 1991). Because of my research into amphibian conservation and management, I am highly familiar with the existing literature on the impact of various forest management activities on amphibians and the implications of these activities for amphibian conservation.

    Land title research and the new HLRV website Handout NSW Land Registry Services NSW Land Registry Services (NSW LRS) − the business name of Australian Registry Investments – operates land titling and registry operations in NSW.1 It is also responsible for the Historical Land Records Viewer (HLRV).2 There is a list of the records that have been digitised at: https://www.nswlrs.com.au/Historical-Records-Online. Only ones with an asterisk are on HLRV. Background Crown lands and land grants In 1770 Lieutenant James Cook claimed possession of the east coast of Australia for the British Crown. All lands were vested in the Crown (hence Crown lands). Between 1792 and 1831 Governor Phillip and later Governors issued free grants of this land on behalf of the Crown. The document known as a Crown grant provided evidence of ownership. The sale of Crown land by private tender began in 1825. In a Despatch dated 9 January 1831 the NSW Governor was instructed to issue no more free grants (except those already promised) and to sell all Crown land at public auction. Indexes to and registers of land grants from 1792 to 1862 can be searched at no charge on HLRV. They are also available at NSW State Archives and on Ancestry.com. Note: All Crown grants, including free grants, were subject to quit rent (a notional payment). Settlement ‘Beyond the limits of location’ In an attempt to curb unauthorised occupation of Crown lands Governor Darling’s order of 5 September 1826 defined the boundaries ‘within which Persons, who may be allowed to purchase, or to receive Grants, on paying an annual Quit-rent, will be permitted to make their Selection’ ('limits of location').
