  • Interim Recovery Plan No. 370
    Interim Recovery Plan No. 370 Montane Heath and Thicket of the South West Botanical Province, above approximately 900 m above sea level (Eastern Stirling Range Montane Heath and Thicket Community) 2016-2021 October 2016 1 Foreword Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Parks and Wildlife Policy Statement No. 35 (DPaW 2015a) and Department of Parks and Wildlife Corporate Guideline No. 35 (DPaW 2015b). This Interim Recovery Plan replaces plan number 52 ‘Montane Heath and Thicket of the South West Botanical Province, above approximately 900 m above sea level (Eastern Stirling Range Montane Heath and Thicket Community) 1999-2001’ by S. Barrett. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address the threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The department is committed to ensuring that threatened ecological communities 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 department’s Director of Science and Conservation. This IRP will operate from 4 December 2016 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the ecological community is still listed as Threatened after five years, this Interim Recovery Plan will be replaced or updated. This IRP was approved by the Director of Science and Conservation on 4 December 2016. The provision of funds identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the department, as well as the need to address other priorities.

  • Adenanthos Cunninghamii (Albany Woollybush) Listing Advice
    Advice to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) on Amendments to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Scientific name (common name) Adenanthos cunninghamii (Albany Woollybush) A genetic analysis of Adenanthos cunninghamii confirmed that it is a hybrid between Adenanthos sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus (Walker 2002). 2. Description The Albany Woollybush is a spreading, erect, woody shrub to 1.5 metres. It has single, dull red flowers and soft, hairy leaves (Gilfillan and Barrett 2004). The hybrid’s morphology is intermediate between its two parents, Adenanthos sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus (Walker 2002). The Albany Woollybush occurs on deep, sandy soils in low woodland, heath or low scrub, and co-occurs with its parent species. It flowers in March, September and October (Hopper et al. 1990; Rye and Hopper 1981). 3. National Context The Albany Woollybush is endemic to Western Australia, and is known from twenty populations in southern coastal areas near Albany (Gilfillan and Barrett 2004). The taxon occurs in the Torndirrup National Park, and surrounding private property and Shire Reserve, approximately 15 kilometres south west of Albany. It also occurs in Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve and at Gull Rock, east of Albany (Gilfillan and Barrett 2004). Based on surveys conducted between 1991 and 2004, the total population size is approximately 130 mature individuals (CALM 2005). The parent species, Adenanthos sericeus and Adenanthos cuneatus, are more widely distributed along the south coast of Western Australia (CALM 2005). The Albany Woollybush is not listed under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950.
