Alluvium Consulting Australia, 105-115 Dover Street, Cremorne VIC 3121. Email: [email protected] Key Points • Toorale National Park in north west NSW, formerly part of Toorale Station, has historic water management infrastructure including several dams across the Warrego River. • The dams are set to be removed or modified as part of a funding agreement, primarily to divert more flow to the Darling River. • However, any modifications to infrastructure must meet fish passage, ecological, hydrological cultural, funding and time constraints. • Finding a solution that meets the project objectives and constraints has been a challenge. Abstract The Toorale Water Infrastructure Project (the Project) seeks to modify historic embankments constructed across the Warrego River in north-western NSW. The purpose of the proposed works is to protect and maintain the values of the property, while also enabling greater capacity to divert flow through the Warrego River to the Darling River. The Toorale Water Infrastructure Project is required under a 2008 funding agreement between the NSW and the Commonwealth Governments for the purchase of Toorale Station from Clyde Agriculture. The property has been gazetted as Toorale National Park and Toorale State Conservation Area and is administered by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). The water access entitlements acquired have been transferred to the Commonwealth and are administered by the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) in consultation with NPWS.

Neolucia hobartensis albolineata ssp. nov. is illustrated, diagnosed, described and compared with the nominate subspecies N. hobartensis hobartensis (Miskin, 1890) from Tasmania and N. hobartensis monticola Waterhouse & Lyell, 1914 from northern New South Wales, Australia. The new subspecies is restricted to montane areas (mainly >1000 m) in subalpine and alpine habitats on the mainland in southeastern Australia (southern NSW, ACT, VIC) where its larvae specialize on Epacris spp. (Ericaceae). It thus belongs to a distinct set of 22 butterfly taxa that are endemic and narrowly restricted to montane areas (>600 m, but mainly >900 m) on the tablelands and plateaus of mainland southeastern Australia. Monitoring of these taxa, including N. hobartensis ssp., is urgently required to assess the extent to which global climate change, particularly temperature rise and large-scale fire regimes, are key threatening processes.
