Consultation Document on Listing Eligibility and Conservation Actions Atriplex Sp. Yeelirrie Station Consultation Document on Listing Eligibility and Conservation Actions Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station You are invited to provide evidence about: 1) the eligibility of Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station (L. Trotter & A. Douglas LCH 25025) for inclusion on the EPBC Act threatened species list; and 2) the necessary conservation actions for the above species. Evidence from experts, stakeholders and the general public are welcome. Responses can be provided by any interested person. Anyone may nominate a native species, ecological community or threatening process for listing under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) or for a transfer of an item already on the list to a new listing category. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) undertakes the assessment of species to determine eligibility for inclusion in the list of threatened species and provides its recommendation to the Australian Government Minister for the Environment. Draft information for your consideration of the species eligibility for listing in the Vulnerable category (criterion 1) or Critically Endangered category (criterion 2) starts at page 3 and information associated with potential conservation actions for this species starts at page 8. To assist with the Committee’s assessment, the Committee has identified a series of specific questions on which it seeks your guidance at page 9. Responses to are to be provided in writing either by email to: [email protected] or by mail to: The Director Marine and Freshwater Species Conservation Section Wildlife, Heritage and Marine Division Department of the Environment PO Box 787 Canberra ACT 2601 Responses are required to be submitted by 16 January 2015.

Yeelirrie Station consultation Page 1 of 11 General background information about listing threatened species The Australian Government helps protect species at risk of extinction by listing them as threatened under Part 13 of the EPBC Act. Once listed under the EPBC Act, the species becomes a Matter of National Environmental Significance (MNES) and must be protected from significant impacts through the assessment and approval provisions of the EPBC Act. More information about threatened species is available on the department’s website at: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/index.html. Public nominations to list threatened species under the EPBC Act are received annually by the department. In order to determine if a species is eligible for listing as threatened under the EPBC Act, the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) undertakes a rigorous scientific assessment of its status to determine if the species is eligible for listing against a set of criteria. These criteria are available on the Department’s website at: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/pubs/guidelines-species.pdf. As part of the assessment process, the Committee consults with the public and stakeholders to obtain specific details about the species, as well as advice on what conservation actions might be appropriate. Information provided through the consultation process is considered by the Committee in its assessment. The Committee provides its advice on the assessment (together with comments received) to the Minister regarding the eligibility of the species for listing under a particular category and what conservation actions might be appropriate. The Minister decides to add, or not to add, the species to the list of threatened species under the EPBC Act. More detailed information about the listing process is at: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/nominations.html. To promote the recovery of listed threatened species and ecological communities, conservation advices and where required, recovery plans are made or adopted in accordance with Part 13 of the EPBC Act. Conservation advices provide guidance at the time of listing on known threats and priority recovery actions that can be undertaken at a local and regional level. Recovery plans describe key threats and identify specific recovery actions that can be undertaken to enable recovery activities to occur within a planned and logical national framework. Information about recovery plans is available on the department’s website at: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/recovery.html. Information about this consultation process Responses to this consultation can be provided electronically or in hard copy to the contact addresses provided on Page 1. All responses received will be provided in full to the Committee and then to the Australian Government Minister for the Environment. In providing comments, please provide references to published data where possible. Should the Committee use the information you provide in formulating its advice, the information will be attributed to you and referenced as a ‘personal communication’ unless you provide references or otherwise attribute this information (please specify if your organisation requires that this information is attributed to your organisation instead of yourself). The final advice by the Committee will be published on the department’s website following the listing decision by the Minister. Information provided through consultation may be subject to freedom of information legislation and court processes. It is also important to note that under the EPBC Act, the deliberations and recommendations of the Committee are confidential until the Minister has made a final decision on the nomination, unless otherwise determined by the Minister. Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station consultation Page 2 of 11 Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station Taxonomy Conventionally accepted as Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station (L. Trotter & A. Douglas LCH 25025) WA Herbarium (a saltbush). Description Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station (L. Trotter & A. Douglas LCH 25025) is distinguished by its dome shaped habit and divaricate woody branches. Female plants have distinctive fan-like fruits (with or without appendages). The species is an erect, predominantly dioecious perennial shrub 0.4–1 m high with divaricate woody branches. Branchlets scruffy with collapsed vesicular hairs, glabrescent. Leaves scattered along branches or in clusters; petiole absent or to 0.3 mm long; lamina broadly elliptic to ovate, 0.8–6.5 mm long, 0.9–3.2 mm wide with a dense indumentum of collapsed vesicle hairs forming a fused uneven surface, margin entire or slightly undulating. Inflorescence of small glomerules terminal or in distal leaf axils, male flowers sometimes mixed with some female flowers; male flowers bracteoles (leaf-like structures) absent, perianth 5-lobed, 1.5–1.7 mm long, stamens five, filaments 1–1.1 mm long; female flowers perianth absent, enclosed by a pair of mostly united bracteoles, stigmas two. Morphotype 1. Fruiting bracteoles a spongy obconical tube, 0.9–1.7 mm long, 0.7–1.8 mm wide; appendages absent with large, spongy, fan-shaped lobes 4.5–7 mm long, 4–7.4 mm wide, fused in the lower half, undulate to broadly dentate on the margin. Seeds rounded to broadly obovate, brown, unornamented, 1.2–1.4 mm long, 1.2–1.4 mm wide. Morphotype 2. Fruiting bracteoles with sessile fan-shaped lobes 2–3.2 mm long, 1.8–4 mm wide, appendages spongy with multiple tubercles, lobes fused in the lower half, concave and undulate on the margin. Seeds rounded to broadly obovate, brown, unornamented, 0.9–1.1 mm long, 1–1.2 mm wide. Distribution Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station (L. Trotter & A. Douglas LCH 25025) has a highly restricted distribution being restricted to two locations separated by approximately 30 km on Yeelirrie Station and Albion Downs Station, Western Australia. This recently discovered species of saltbush is found only within a palaeovalley of the Yilgarn craton that contains significant near- surface uranium mineralisation that has potential for resource development (Clarke et al. 2012). The two populations – Albion Downs Station and Yeelirrie Station show genetic differentiation. In addition, although there is evidence of some gene flow between the two populations, the species appears to have limited dispersal potential because there is significant isolation-by- distance evident among subpopulations (separated by less than five kilometres) of the Albion Downs Station population (Clarke et al. 2012). During surveys for BHP Billiton’s Yeelirrie Uranium project, consultants from Western Botanical collected what was thought to be a new species of Atriplex. In September 2009 specimens were presented to the Western Australian Herbarium and Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station (L. Trotter & A. Douglas LCH 25025) was recognised as being distinct. In addition, a limited number of plants have naturally established on an old rehabilitation site on Yeelirrie Station. Western Botanical has undertaken regional surveys targeting six lake systems (Annean, Mason, Miranda, Nabberu, Noondie and Way) during late 2009 and early 2010 and undertook further surveys targeting seven lake systems in May 2010; however, no new populations of Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station (L. Trotter & A. Douglas LCH 25025) were located. Atriplex sp. Yeelirrie Station consultation Page 3 of 11 The regional surveys

  • Looking West: a Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia
    A Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia The Records Taskforce of Western Australia ¨ ARTIST Jeanette Garlett Jeanette is a Nyungar Aboriginal woman. She was removed from her family at a young age and was in Mogumber Mission from 1956 to 1968, where she attended the Mogumber Mission School and Moora Junior High School. Jeanette later moved to Queensland and gained an Associate Diploma of Arts from the Townsville College of TAFE, majoring in screen printing batik. From 1991 to present day, Jeanette has had 10 major exhibitions and has been awarded four commissions Australia-wide. Jeanette was the recipient of the Dick Pascoe Memorial Shield. Bill Hayden was presented with one of her paintings on a Vice Regal tour of Queensland. In 1993 several of her paintings were sent to Iwaki in Japan (sister city of Townsville in Japan). A recent major commission was to create a mural for the City of Armadale (working with Elders and students from the community) to depict the life of Aboriginal Elders from 1950 to 1980. Jeanette is currently commissioned by the Mundaring Arts Centre to work with students from local schools to design and paint bus shelters — the established theme is the four seasons. Through her art, Jeanette assists Aboriginal women involved in domestic and traumatic situations, to express their feelings in order to commence their journey of healing. Jeanette currently lives in Northam with her family and is actively working as an artist and art therapist in that region. Jeanette also lectures at the O’Connor College of TAFE. Her dream is to have her work acknowledged and respected by her peers and the community.
