  • [email protected] Re: Sale of Ellalong Lagoon
    The Hon. Matt Kean MP 52 Martin Place SYDNEY NSW 2000 Email to: [email protected] Re: Sale of Ellalong Lagoon and adjacent forest Dear Minister Kean, Hunter Bird Observers Club is calling on the NSW Government and the National Parks and Wildlife Service to prioritise acquisition of the property at 39 Congewai Road, Congewai in the Lower Hunter Valley for the benefit of our unique biodiversity, threatened species and the local community. This 406-hectare property includes Ellalong Lagoon which is listed on the Directory of Important Wetlands of Australia and is one of the best-known wetlands in the Hunter Region. The property also includes a forest of approximately 200 ha with a continuous canopy and completely intact lower strata. It is also unfragmented; a rarity on the floor of the Hunter Valley where most woodland has been cleared. According to T. Peake 2006: “76% of woodland and forest from the Hunter Valley floor have been cleared leaving only 19% of fragmented remnant vegetation. A mere 0.8% of this remnant vegetation is in protected ownership - national parks, which are situated on poorer soils and have lower bird abundance and diversity.” The BirdLife Australia atlas database (Birdata) lists 189 species as having been recorded on this parcel of land, approximately 31% of species in NSW. The forested land is vital habitat for the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater and Swift Parrot both of which are in imminent danger of becoming extinct. The conservation of parcels such as this is crucial for the ongoing survival of threatened species, including those captive-bred Regent Honeyeaters which you helped release back in June 2020.

  • Defining and Mapping Rare Vegetation Communities: Improving Techniques to Assist Land-Use Planning and Conservation
    Defining and mapping rare vegetation communities: improving techniques to assist land-use planning and conservation Stephen A. J. Bell BSc. (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Environmental and Life Sciences The University of Newcastle February 2013 Declaration Statement of Originality This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to this copy of my thesis, when deposited in the University Library, being made available for loan and photocopying subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Statement of Collaboration I hereby certify that the concepts embodied in Chapter 2 of this thesis have been done in collaboration with a fellow researcher at this university. I have included as part of the thesis in Chapter 2 a statement clearly outlining the extent of collaboration with whom and under what auspices. Stephen A. J. Bell Preface “The vegetated landscape …. on first appearance presents a bewildering display of living matter, a higgledy-piggledy mass of trunks, leaves, branches, shrubs and grasses seemingly without form. The more observant may notice that the higgledy-piggledy mass varies from one place to another, that in some places there are trees as tall as large buildings while in other places there are no trees at all …. By the application of a systematic approach to viewing vegetation the bewildering display of plant life can take on new meaning thus altering one’s perception of what is being seen .… Suddenly the jumble of plant life reveals structures and beauties probably hitherto unseen”.

  • Appendix 3 Section 5A Assessments “Seven Part Tests”
    APPENDIX 3 SECTION 5A ASSESSMENTS “SEVEN PART TESTS” Appendix 3: Seven Part Tests Swamp Sclerophyll Forest Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is listed as an Endangered Ecological Community under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). It is not listed under the schedules of the Commonwealth Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions includes and replaces Sydney Coastal Estuary Swamp Forest in the Sydney Basin bioregion Endangered Ecological Community. This community is associated with humic clay loams and sandy loams, on waterlogged or periodically inundated alluvial flats and drainage lines associated with coastal floodplains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). It occurs typically as open forests to woodlands, although partial clearing may have reduced the canopy to scattered trees or scrub. The understorey may contain areas of fernland and tall reedland or sedgeland which in turn may also form mosaics with other floodplain communities and often fringe wetlands with semi-permanent standing water (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains generally occurs below 20 metres ASL, often on small floodplains or where the larger floodplains adjoin lithic substrates or coastal sand plains (NSW Scientific Committee 2011). The species composition of Swamp Sclerophyll Forest is primarily determined by the frequency and duration of waterlogging and the texture, salinity nutrient and moisture content of the soil. The species composition of the trees varies considerably, but the most widespread and abundant dominant trees include Eucalyptus robusta Swamp Mahogany, Melaleuca quinquenervia and, south from Sydney, Eucalyptus botryoides Bangalay and Eucalyptus longifolia Woollybutt (OEH 2015a).

  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.

  • Darkiñung Précis: Hunter / Wollombi Ranges Aborigines
    Darkiñung Précis (2013): The Hunter / Wollombi Ranges Aborigines Darkiñung Précis [commonly written with English characters as ‘Darkinung’, Darkinyung or Darkinjung] The Original People from the Hunter River and Wollombi Ranges to the Coast: - The Aboriginal Identification from Colonial History G.E. Ford, 2013 This Precis has been prepared to address an emerging controversy about who were the traditional people from the NSW Central Coast to the Wollombi Ranges of the Hunter region to the north of Sydney when the British settlers arrived. A preceding 2013 Abstract outlined the historical situation for the northern Blue Mountains / Hawkesbury region to the west of Sydney. The Hunter region has become contested for claims of National Native Title based on federal legislation as mining companies vie to extract coal and gas from the ground while it is still permitted. While traditional owner descendants seek preservation of their ancestral heritage, other people claim compensation for this destruction of land. Here are the alternatives being considered since the release of 2010 “Darkiñung Recognition”, with analyses of historical records. The findings are conclusive. Entries here are in time order. ! In the early 1800s young Ben Singleton from Kurrajong had been exploring the ranges north of the Hawkesbury River with local Aborigines. This concluded with a March 1820 expedition commissioned by Gov. Macquarie, which reached the tidal limit of the Hunter River within their territory at present day Maitland. Macquarie had named this location Wallis Plains on his July 1818 visit by boat, and there were already settlers there when he returned November 1821. When the penal settlement established 1804 on the “Coal” river at Gov.
