  • Hallorans Hill Regional Park Management Statement 2015
    Hallorans Hill Regional Park Management Statement Park purpose Park size 25.4ha Hallorans Hill Regional Park was formally gazetted as Hallorans Hill Environmental Park in Bioregion Wet Tropics 1989 under the Land Act 1962. At that time there was a Trustee Agreement with the Atherton Local government area Tablelands Regional Council Shire Council. In 1994 the environmental park was gazetted to Hallorans Hill Conservation Park State electorate Dalrymple under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. QPWS region Northern The park protects the remnants of the extinct volcanic crater, remnant vegetation and Year prepared: 2015 Review date: 2025 important Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultural sites. Strategic direction for park management Based on an evaluation of its natural, cultural and presentation values, Hallorans Hill Regional Park has been assessed as having a medium priority for management. The park will be managed according to this priority rating. Park management will be based on the best available local knowledge, professional judgement and anecdotal information. The medium level means that it will receive a minimum of quarterly routine inspections with occasional planned visits where issues have been identified. The focus is largely expected to be on visitor and natural resource management involving a proactive management effort at a moderate level to understand or protect known natural and cultural values. Cultural values will be managed proactively to protect those values known to Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, (QPWS). Ongoing consultation, collaboration and relationships with Traditional Owners and Indigenous stakeholders will be undertaken as required to support broader continuing park management programs. This park currently has relatively high visitor use on the walking track that runs through the length of the park and is largely utilised by local residents.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • Pre-Clearing Vegetation of the Coastal Lowlands of the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland
    Pre-clearing vegetation of the coastal lowlands of the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland J. E. Kemp1, R. J., Lovatt1, J. C. Bahr1, C. P. Kahler2, and C. N. Appelman1 1Queensland Herbarium, Environmental Protection Agency, PO Box 5391, Townsville, QLD 4810 AUSTRALIA. Email address: [email protected] 216 Esk St, Rowes Bay, Townsville, QLD 4810 AUSTRALIA Abstract: A pre-clearing vegetation map and digital coverage at approximately 1:50 000 scale for the coastal lowlands (up to about 200 m elevation) of the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland is presented. The study area covers about 508 000 ha from Cooktown, 420 km south almost to Townsville (latitude 15° 30’–18° 20’ longitude 144° 50’–146° 40’). Data sources included historical aerial photography, early surveyors’ plans, explorers’ journals, previous vegetation maps, and maps of soils and geology. The pre-clearing mapping was built around the remnant vegetation mapping of Stanton & Stanton (2005), and the vegetation classification of this latter work was adopted. Vegetation units were further classified into regional ecosystems compatible with the standard State-wide system used by Queensland government. The digital coverage is part of the current Queensland Herbarium regional ecosystem coverage (Queensland Herbarium and Wet Tropics Management Authority 2005). Coloured maps (1:100 000 scale) of the pre-clearing vegetation of the Herbert, Tully, Innisfail and Macalister/Daintree subregions are on an accompanying CD-ROM. An evaluation of vegetation loss through clearing on the coastal lowlands of the Wet Tropics revealed several near- extinct vegetation communities and regional ecosystems, and many others that are drastically reduced in area.

  • Definition of a Rainforest
    SECTION 62 PERMIT ASSESSMENT Guideline 2 DEFINITION OF A RAINFOREST Rainforest is an umbrella term describing a broad range of vegetation community types in the Wet Tropics. In general, rainforests are closed, moisture loving communities of closely spaced trees distinguished from other closed canopy forests by the prominence of life-forms such as epiphytes and lianes, by the absence of annual herbs or grasses on the forest floor and by their floristic complexity. Different types of rainforest are found in the Area. The differences relate very strongly to moisture and temperature gradients, both spatially and seasonally. The effects of soil type, soil drainage and wind exposure are also important. Webb (1978) has provided a classification of rainforest communities in Australia, 16 structural types of rainforest are recognised within the Area consisting of 30 broad community types (Table 1). This classification has worldwide applicability being based on structural features (tree layers, evenness of canopy outline, relative crown depths and shapes), physiognomic features (leaf size, type and deciduousness, colour and texture of bark, buttressing) and special life forms (palms, ferns, epiphytes, vines). In so far as this classification applies to the wet tropics, the primary division is into leaf sizes (mesophyll >12.5cm long, notophyll 7.5-12.5cm long and microphyll 2.5-7.5cm long). The Authority currently accepts rainforests as including types 1 to 13 of Tracey & Webb (1975) and types 25, 26 and 27 of Olsen (1993). Descriptions of these rainforest vegetation types are provided (Table 1), along with descriptions of the non-rainforest vegetation communities occurring in the Area (i.e.

Diversity and Distributions 17 (5):810-821. ABSTRACT Aims Anthropogenic introductions of Australian Acacia spp. that become classed as alien invasive species have consequences in addition to the physical, spatial and ecological: they are also cultural, ethical and political and thus merit attention from scholars in the humanities and social sciences. As practitioners in these disciplines, our aim is to reflect upon some of the social and conceptual ideas and attitudes relating to the spread of Australian Acacia spp. around the world. We therefore provide a longer term historical and philosophical perspective using South Africa as a key example. We explain some of the cultural aspects of Australian acacias, relating them to history, philosophy and societal ideas that were once, or indeed remain, important, either regarding their exportation from Australia or their importation into other countries. Focussing principally on South Africa and Australia but including brief references of other locations, we augment the literature by making connections between acacia introductions and environmental 1 Department of History, University of South Africa, P.O.
