Five workshops were held over the two weekends. We thank tutors, Helen Fitzgerald, Susannah Blaxill, Rita Parkinson, Peter Wale and Jacqueline Donovan for their expert tuition, patience and encouragement of the students. There were 86 paintings in the exhibition, and sales of works were pleasing. Gallery visitors were also keen to buy the Botanical Art Society of Australia (BASA) publication, Flora of Australia, showing Australian paintings from the Botanical Art Worldwide Exhibition in May Lauren Hook at the exhibition opening 2018. Copies are still available from BASA. We thank Lauren for her support. In her opening remarks, she also thanked many local groups on 1 Tendrils Newsletter Issue 7, November 2018 our behalf, for their support of the project, including: local landowners, Wingecarribee Shire Council staff, bush-care volunteers, Australian Plant Society Southern Highlands group, local experts, field naturalists and NSW National Parks and Wildlife staff. Visitors commented that it was a powerful and thought-provoking experience to see the paintings of the individual plants (some of which are very small in life size) displayed as a group.

Executive Summary Castlereagh Coal operates the Invincible Colliery (Invincible), an open cut coal mine located approximately 25 kilometres north-west of Lithgow in NSW. Castlereagh Coal is the trading name for Shoalhaven Coal Pty Ltd which is part of the Manildra Group, an integrated and diverse agribusiness. Castlereagh Coal is seeking to modify the Invincible Project Approval to extend the life of mining operations at the Invincible Colliery and obtain approval to extend the open cut mining operations to an area immediately south of the existing operations (Southern Extension Area). The primary purpose of the operation will be to provide nut coal to Manildra’s Shoalhaven Starches Plant located at Bomaderry on the NSW South Coast. Project features (including location and setback from potential habitat features) and impact mitigation measures have been incorporated into the detailed design of the Southern Extension Project to minimise biodiversity impacts. Umwelt (Australia) Pty Limited (Umwelt) has prepared this Biodiversity Assessment Report on behalf of Castlereagh Coal to assess the potential ecological impacts of the proposed Southern Extension Project using the Framework for Biodiversity Assessment – NSW Biodiversity Offsets Policy for Major Projects (FBA).

  • Nest Boxes Do Not Cause a Shift in Bat Community Composition in an Urbanised Landscape Stephen R
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Nest boxes do not cause a shift in bat community composition in an urbanised landscape Stephen R. Grifths 1*, Linda F. Lumsden2, Kylie A. Robert 1 & Pia E. Lentini 3 Nest boxes are often used to provide supplementary roosts for cavity-dependent wildlife, but little is known about if they infuence faunal community composition. Long-term monitoring of bat boxes in south-eastern Australia indicated that their use was dominated by one generalist species (Chalinolobus gouldii), causing concern that installing bat boxes could cause a shift toward less diverse bat communities. To test this, we conducted a large-scale before-after control-impact experiment at 18 sites, over fve years. Sites were either: (1) those with existing bat boxes, (2) those where boxes were added during the study, or (3) controls without boxes. We used echolocation call data from 9035 bat detector nights to compare community composition, diversity, and species’ relative activity between the sites. Chalinolobus gouldii continued to dominate the use of existing boxes, but we found little diference in community composition between sites based on the presence, absence, or addition of boxes. Our study is the frst to explore the infuence installing artifcial hollows has on localized faunal assemblages over spatio-temporal scales relevant to management. We conclude that there is cause for optimism that bat boxes might not have perverse outcomes on local community composition in the short- to medium-term, as we had feared. Tree hollows and cavities are keystone habitats used by a broad range of fauna for shelter and breeding1.

KRL commissioned Western Wildlife to carry out fauna surveys, including a targeted Malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata) survey, in the Development Envelope, and a targeted survey for Chuditch (Dasyurus Geoffroii) in the wider region. The aims of the vertebrate fauna survey were to: • Identify the fauna habitats present in the Development Envelope. • List the vertebrate fauna that were recorded in the Development Envelope and/or have the potential to occur in the study area. • Identify species of conservation significance, or habitats of particular importance for fauna, that potentially occur in the Development Envelope. • Comment on the potential impacts that a mining development may have on fauna, particularly on fauna of conservation significance. Methods The fauna surveys were undertaken in accordance with Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) Statement of Environmental Principles, Factors and Objectives (EPA 2016a), Environmental Factor Guidelines – Terrestrial Fauna (EPA 2016b), Technical Guide – Terrestrial Fauna Surveys (EPA 2016c) and the Technical Guide – Terrestrial Vertebrate Fauna Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment (EPA & DEC 2010). The field surveys were carried out between the following dates: • 10 – 15 Oct 2016: A Level 1 fauna survey with targeted Malleefowl and Chuditch surveys in Survey Area A (part of the Earl Grey Lithium Project Development Envelope).
