ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The SWC High Risk Pathways and Sites Management Plan (the plan) has been modelled on the National Weed Spread Prevention Draft Action Plan 2006 and the Qld Weed Spread Prevention Strategy. The plan has been updated in February 2015 following a review of regional high risk pathways (p.15) and High Risk Pathways, High Risk Sites and Other Priority Sites by LCA (appendix 4.). A more comprehensive review of the plan is a mandatory measurable outcome of the Weeds Action Program 2015-2020 (WAP1520) Sydney Region Project, to be completed by 30 June 2017.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The physical characteristics of weeds allows them to be easily transported by a broad range of mechanisms over road, rail, waterways and airborne transmissions which include contaminated grain, soil and gravel, garden products, stock movement, machinery movement, feral animals, climatic conditions and human activities. The majority of spread is a direct result of human activities. With this considered, coupled with increasing costs of control it is necessary to change community attitudes and practices towards preventing weed spread. For this reason the Plan focuses primarily on pathways and sites attributable to human activity.

The rationale for the Plan is in line with the National Weed Spread Prevention Draft Action Plan July 20061 (NWSPDAP) which states that: 1. pathways for weed spread need to be identified and addressed; 2. effective, consistent and complementary measures need to be identified and addressed; 3. government, industry and communities need to be encouraged and empowered to undertake effective preventative actions, and 4. the implementation of strategic actions from the proposed Australian Weed Strategy (AWS) need to be supported.

The SWC High Risk Pathways and Sites Management Plan (SWC HRPSMP) is an integral component of the NSW Invasive Species Plan (NSW ISP) goal to prevent the establishment of new invasive species. This document is specifically designed to meet the Weeds Action Program 2015-2020 (WAP1520) Sydney Region Project Key Objective 1.1 being “High risk species and pathways are identified and managed” and maintains strong links with the NSW ISP and the National Weed Prevention Draft Action Plan 2006. Issues relating to threat assessment or responses to new weed incursions in the region are covered in the SWC ‘Weed Incursion Plan and SWC ‘Rapid Response Plan’ respectively. Included within the Plan are identified high risk pathways, high risk sites and other priority sites within the Sydney region. The operational program for the implementation of the High Risk Pathways and Sites Management Plan is the SWC ‘Regional Inspection Program’. This document provides for the inspection of private and public land in the Sydney region of NSW under the New South Wales Invasive Species Plan, NSW Weeds Action Program.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Weeds have a significant adverse impact on primary production, ecosystem biodiversity and the conservation values of the region and more widely across the state. They can also have a detrimental effect on human and animal health.

Although preventing the spread of weeds is difficult, it is the cheapest and most effective method of weed control. Along with airborne and our road, rail and waterway networks/pathways, some of the potential carriers for ‘hitch-hiking’ weed seeds are machinery, equipment, garden waste, livestock, grain, produce, fodder, landscaping material, plant trading, extractive materials, native animals, wind, water and humans. Many weeds have physical characteristics that allow them to be easily transported over long distances. Viable seeds and other plant material can be spread accidentally, especially by human activity. Vehicles can readily spread the small seeds for example Parthenium and Giant Parramatta Grass, just a few seeds of which can easily colonise and dominate new areas. Other weeds, such as the waterweed Cabomba, can spread even if just a part of the plant gets caught on a boat or trailer and is moved to another river or dam. The seeds of Tropical Soda Apple can survive for days inside cattle and still germinate once the animal has defecated.

1. 2 Purpose of the Plan

This Plan has been designed to minimise the economic, environmental and social impacts of new widespread and emerging weeds in the Sydney region. This can only be achieved through co-ordination, co-operation and commitment from weed managers and the community. The National Weed Spread Prevention Draft Action Plan 20062 has developed six broad goals to reduce the risk of weed spread caused by human activity within Australia. These are:

1. to ensure a consistent and strategic approach to weed spread prevention at local, regional, state and national levels;

2. to develop innovative, practical and cost-effective solutions to minimise weed spread;

3. to provide procedures for effective weed spread prevention;

4. to inform and motivate communities, industries, governments and land managers in order to minimise weed spread;

5. to implement effective measures to minimise weed spread, and

6. to monitor, evaluate and report on the effectiveness of weed spread prevention.

2 National Weed Spread Prevention Draft Action Plan http://www.weeds.org.au/docs/Draft_National_Weed_Spread_Action_Plan.pdf 4

The SWC High Risk Pathways and Sites Management Plan will provide management actions for the six goals listed above at a regional level to address the problem of weed spread, enabling all parties to make the best use of available resources.

1. 3 The Sydney Region

The Sydney region is characterised by large tracts of highly urbanised areas intersected with patches of native vegetation. Remnants of original bushland continue to exist as corridors, often in steep terrain, in the north and south; in isolated patches on the alluvial flats of the Cumberland Plain; and in large tracts in National Parks on the coastal and outer boundaries. Many tiny fragments are scattered throughout the built up areas of central Sydney. Much of Sydney’s bushland and waterways are threatened by invasive weeds and are under constant pressure from stormwater runoff with high nutrient loads.

1.4 Objectives

This Plan will complement the implementation of the weed spread prevention objectives of the WAP1520 Sydney Region Project and the SWC ‘Weed Incursion Plan. The Plan is specifically designed to meet objectives of the NSW ISP and the WAP1520 Sydney Region Project. Key Objective 1.1 - High risk species and pathways are identified and managed.

The objectives of the Plan are to manage weed spread in the Sydney region by:

 identifying and documenting regional high risk pathways;

 developing effective regional management protocols of high risk pathways, and

 developing a species risk assessment framework.

The Plan focuses on regionally identified pathways and priority sites and the commitment of all stakeholders to work in a strategic, collaborative and co-operative manner to ensure favourable outcomes.

1.5 Scope

The scope of this Plan is limited to the management of high risk pathways and sites within the Sydney region. It does not include management actions for:

 weed risk assessment (refer SWC Weed Incursion Plan and SWC Rapid Response Plan);

 detection and incursion response (refer SWC Rapid Response Plan), and

 survey and mapping (refer SWC Regional Inspection Plan).

2. WEED SPREAD MECHANISMS

Weed spread can be defined as movement and subsequent establishment of a weed species in new areas3. The three main mechanisms of weed spread are:  natural spread (physical activity) - seeds moved by wind and / or water;  wild and feral animal activity, and  human activity.

Natural spread of weeds includes:  birds – through consumption and excretion of seeds and fruit;  other animals – through consumption and excretion of seeds and fruit, and external attachment to native and introduced wildlife;  wind – distribution of wind blown seeds, and  water – distribution of seeds or plant parts via waterways. Controlling weed dispersal by natural means is far more difficult, and highlights the importance of managing source populations in order to minimise spread by natural vectors. Wild and feral animal activity includes wild dogs, feral pigs, rabbits, foxes, feral goats and feral cats. It is estimated that pest animals cost the Australian economy over $1 billion annually4. Human activity induced spread includes the movement of weeds by people, and by the use of items such as vehicles, machinery, domestic animals, grain and feed that are contaminated. Human-induced spread is seen as the most prolific form of weed spread. This is because seeds are generally moved further and in larger numbers through humans and their activity than by other means. The spread of weeds along natural and artificial corridors - roadside verges, railways, utilities (transmission lines, gas pipelines), waterways, recreational trails and drainage lines – is a significant avenue for increasing weed distribution throughout the region. A key area of concern is the spread of weeds along road and rail corridors, where they may then provide a source of infestation for neighbouring properties. Garden plant introductions are the dominant source of new naturalised plants and weeds in Australia.5 Of the 2,779 introduced plant species now known to be established in the Australian environment, 1,831 (or 66%) are escaped garden plant species. The University of New England conducted a project on assessing the weed spread in Australia using Pathway Risk Analysis. A comprehensive report has been produced and Appendix 1 provides a summary fact sheet of the results and details of the link to the website containing the full document. This plan focuses on high risk pathways and sites involving human activity because it being the most prolific form of weed spread and also the one that is the most preventable and cost effective.

2. 1 Pathways involving human activity

This Plan adopts the Queensland Weed Spread Prevention Strategy 6, which identifies ten pathways for potential weed spread involving human activity.

Table 1. Ten pathways for potential weed spread involving human activity (source: Department of Natural Resources and Water 2008).

Pathway Examples Transportation over land Agricultural machinery, stock carriers, cars, trucks, buses, all-terrain vehicles, construction equipment and fire fighting equipment, trains, hikers, horses, and pets, and also via tankers and pipelines when transferring water (containing aquatic weeds) from one storage to another. Transportation over All types of ships (including cruise ships), recreational boats and other large or small water craft including industrial, tourist, recreational and law enforcement vessels, military crafts, barges, semi-submersible dry docks, oil derricks (freshwater, marine or both), and stowaways in holds. Tourism For recreation, business or relocation purposes. A particular risk in national parks and protected areas. Movement of plants and Fruit, vegetables, nuts, roots, seeds and edible flowers; plants ‘in trade’ (intentionally plant parts released - authorised or unauthorized - or escaped); ‘hitchhiker seed’ such as weed seeds that have contaminated other seed for sowing or eating, or transported in water, food, growing media, nesting or bedding; and particularly, the dumping of garden waste in parks, reserves and council dumps. Transportation of live Movement of stock and/or their contaminated waste (containing viable weed seed food animals and animal from a food source such as prickly acacia) and ‘hitchhikers’ on or in live animals and parts in their water, food, growing medium, nesting or bedding.

Plant and aquarium Importation and supply of plants, plant parts, seeds and aquatics, and sites of trade deliberate introduction such as botanical gardens, nurseries, landscaping and garden suppliers, research facilities, public and private plantings, and aquariums/water gardening facilities. Movement of Extraction and storage of soil, gravel, sand, mulch and rocks. construction and landscaping material Gas, power and mineral Mining of resources and development and maintenance of movement corridors. resources Waste disposal Illegal dumping, unsafe disposal and movement of weed waste.

Ecosystem disturbance Habitat creation, restoration or enhancement; forestry use; road construction; provision of utilities; land clearing; development; stream channels; construction of highways, railroads and utility rights of way; bushfires and fire management; grazing; agriculture; and extreme weather events such as cyclones and drought.

All land managers have a role to prevent the spread of weeds and to work co- operatively to ensure optimal prevention outcomes are achieved. Appendix 2 summarises activities identified to minimise weed spread from each pathway mentioned above.

3. DEFINITIONS OF HIGH RISK PATHWAYS, SPECIES & SITES

Definitions

Significant Asset An area (and its values) to be protected from the threat of weed invasion and establishment.

Categories: Endangered Ecological Community, Individual Threatened Species, Threatened Population, Waterway, Riparian Zone/Wetland, Wildlife Corridor, High Value Catchment, Agricultural Land.

Hot Spot Specific high risk sites and properties along high risk pathways or elsewhere, where it is already known that weeds are present and spreading (because there is little or no weed management occurring there at present). Hots spots can be on public or private land.

New Incursion Isolated population/s of invasive species recently detected in the region for the first time. This includes: • A weed that has shown up in an area for the first time, where it now exists beyond what was its known extent. Eg Alligator Weed now found further down stream of a waterway. Chilean needle grass now being found further east. • Recent Sydney wide new incursions: Asparagus falcatus, Horsetail, Kudzu, Monkeycomb, Japanese Knotweed, Mysore Thorn, Wild Onion.

Note: Some of these definitions have been developed and adapted from the NSW Invasive Species Plan.

3.1 High Risk Pathways

Definition: Pathways that are heavily trafficked, being main road, rail and river corridors that have a high risk of new weed incursions being introduced from external sources.

and

A linear feature in the landscape where weeds are spreading within/towards a significant asset or further along the linear feature.

Categories: Road, Railway line, Waterway (creek/river/drainage canal), Utilities easement, Walking Track, Coastline, Interface with urban areas.

Note: All of these above can be ‘pathways’ for weeds. We want to map and concentrate on the ones that are of highest risk (depending on what weed is spreading there, how invasive it is, the significant asset/s being impacted etc) 9

High Risk Pathways directly relate to the Goals 1 and 2 of the NSW Invasive Species Plan 2008 – 2015’

Goal One Excude: Prevent the establishment of new invasive species

Goal Two Eradicate or Contain: Eliminate or prevent the spread of new invasive species.

3.2 High Risk Sites

Sites where weeds will always have the potential to show up and the potential to spread. These sites need to be checked regularly (as part of surveying and formal inspections).

Categories: Dam, Waste disposal site, Depot for transporting weed/plant material, Garden/mulch & landscape materials supplier, Livestock holding area, Horse event, Boat launch area, Nursery, Florist, Aquarium, Retail homemaker outlet, Development site, Fresh produce market, local markets, distribution depot for goods coming in and out of Sydney.

3.3 Other Priority Sites

Other Priority Sites include high value conservation, agricultural, tourism and recreational areas, the periphery around identified high risk sites, plus other private property inspections, over the 42 LCA's. The rate of inspection of identified sites varies across the region depending on priorities and resources.

10

3.4 Weed Definitions and Categories:

Naturalised Species: species from outside the Sydney region that can maintain populations in the wild without cultivation.

Invasive Species: naturalized species that are spreading.

Environmental Weed: Those naturalized plant species that have invaded areas of native vegetation. The species are presumed to impact negatively on native species diversity or ecosystem function. Environmental weeds are usually non-native species, although native plant species that are invasive beyond their indigenous range are also included.

Noxious Plant: A formally declared weed under the Noxious Weeds Act 1993. The declaration of “noxious” always implies the need for active management to reduce the negative impact of the particular plant species on agricultural and human activities.

Weeds of National Significance (WONS): A list of weed species, nominated under the National Weeds Strategy of 1997 as amended, which require a national (trans-boundary) effort to tackle their management. These weeds affect extensive land use systems such as conservation areas and grazing systems, rather than cropping systems.

High Risk Species: Species currently not known in the LCA but have the ability to establish rapidly in new areas. Example: Tropical Soda Apple, Alligator Weed, Class 1 & 2 Weeds, new weed incursions. and/or Species currently not widespread in the region but have the potential to expand rapidly into new areas. A regional list of High Risk Species is identified in the SWC ‘Weed Incursion Plan’.

High Value Agriculture Areas Areas of land that are engaged in high return agricultural practices such as dairy farming, horticulture and cattle grazing properties.

High Value Conservation Areas Areas of land that have been deemed protected in order to ensure that natural features, cultural heritage or biota are safe-guarded. A conservation area may be a nature reserve, a park, a land reclamation project, or other area (refer Appendix 3 – Threatened Ecological Communities in NSW).

4. REGIONAL HIGH RISK PATHWAYS

To implement the Management Plan and the Regional Inspection Program it is crucial to have an understanding of the pathways that enable weeds to spread and is paramount to preventing new incursions of invasive species within the region.

4.1 High Risk Pathways (entry points) for weed spread in the Sydney and Blue Mountains region

In 2011, the Sydney Weeds Committees, comprising of representatives from most local and state government land managers, commenced the process of identifying and documenting the main “pathways” for the potential spread of high risk invasive species across Sydney. These pathways (which can include a specific site or a linear feature in the landscape such as a transport corridor, waterway etc) are among the highest priorities to focus weeds inspection, education and control programs.

This is an ongoing process of capturing knowledge and determining the best management actions to prevent the introduction and further spread of these invasive species that pose threats to areas of high conservation. The list below includes the pathways known to date.

The Sydney Weeds Committees continue to work together and further pathways may be added list as more information becomes available.

4.2 Transport over land – by roadways

The SWC regional high risk road pathways that enable the transport of weeds into the region include the Pacific Highway, Great Western Highway, Hume Highway, Princes Highway, and the associated motorways.

Map 2 identifies the major high risk pathways relating to roads and motorways in the Sydney region.

All pathways allow vehicles to move into and within the regions and require priority actions to ensure weed spread is prevented.

The mechanisms along which high risk species may be introduced through road pathways include:

 supply and movement of machinery and equipment;  tourism and recreational activities and includes general travel;  roadside vegetation maintenance activities;  foot traffic;  on-ground activities such as road and rail maintenance and construction activities;  construction and development projects such as mining, seismic testing and pipeline construction;  energy and telecommunications infrastructure construction activities;  property development which involves the disturbance and removal of soil materials;  quarry activities which involves the supply and sale of quarry type materials such as soil, sand, gravel and rocks;  fencing construction and maintenance;  audit, survey and research activities and includes mapping;  resource recovery and removal and planting activities associated with forestry;  weed prevention activities such as chemical applications, slashing and mowing and manual removal and  waste disposal – both discriminate and indiscriminate.

Weed spread is not limited to vehicle movement along pathways.

SWC High Risk Pathways and Sites Management Plan

4.3 Transport over land – by other means

Mechanisms along other overland pathways include:  fencing construction and maintenance activities;  domestic stock between paddocks;  native and non-native animal movements including migratory bird pathways;  drinking water infrastructure,  property development and  indiscriminant dumping (such as green waste).

4.4 Transport by Water – Freshwater and Marine pathways

Many kinds of weed seeds, even those without special modifications, are readily dispersed by water. Weed seeds differ in their ability to float on water, and there are also various adaptations of fruit and seed that aid water dissemination. Water Hyacinth (eichhornia crassipesis) an excellent example of a weed species equipped for water dispersal. The seed is buoyant, being flattened at the apex and containing an air chamber.

All water pathways allow weed material to move along the watercourses within the SWC area and require priority actions to ensure weed spread is prevented. In addition, waterways carry a large amount of recreational and commercial traffic along and between them allowing the further potential for spread of propagules.

The Sydney region has a number of major river systems traversing the region, being the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Parramatta River / Sydney Harbour Catchment Georges River, Port Hacking River and Cooks River

4.5 Transport by rail

Sydney has an extensive rail network servicing suburban and regional commuters as well as the movement of goods. The network comprises over 2,060 kilometres of track, extending north to the upper Hunter Region, south to the Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands and west to Bathurst7.

Mechanisms for weed spread along rail corridors include:

 Vehicle and commodity movement within the corridor;  Disturbance associated with maintenance activities;  Use of machinery from other areas which may be contaminated and  Waste dumping within the corridor.

Accessing the rail corridors is inhibited by remoteness and safety issues, often enabling weeds to establish undetected.

SWC High Risk Pathways and Sites Management Plan

5. HIGH RISK SITES

High risk sites are comprised of nurseries, saleyards, community markets, jetties, boat ramps, car parks, gravel quarries, aquaria / pet shops, stock and produce outlets and dealers, maritime borders, machinery dealers and roadside truck stops within the Sydney region. Sites close to class 1 and 2 noxious weeds, Fire Access Zones (FAZ) sites and waste disposal and recycle centres.

These are summarised in the compilation map, Map 6 below and more specific details are contained within Appendix 4.

The SWC Regional Inspection Program document provides more detailed information on specific high risk sites.

6. OTHER PRIORITY SITES

Other Priority Sites include high value conservation, agricultural, tourism and recreational areas, the periphery around identified high risk sites, plus other private properties over the 42 LCA's. The rate of inspection of identified sites varies across the region depending on priorities and resources.

More information regarding other priority sites can be found in Appendix 4.

The SWC Regional Inspection Program document also provides more detailed information on other priority sites.

7. HIGH RISK PATHWAYS AND SITES MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN

The High Risk Pathways and Sites Action Plan details the measurable outcomes and actions identified in the WAP1520 Sydney Region Project as necessary to deal with high risk pathways and sites.

The Plan is structured under four categories:

 co-ordination, planning, procedures and documentation;

 execution;

 education / extension and

 evaluation and reporting.

Each category relates to a specific goal within the SWC Weed Action Program. These are:

1. EXCLUDE: Prevent the establishment of new invasive species;

2. ERADICATE OR CONTAIN: Eliminate or precent the spread of new invasive species;

3. EFFECTIVELY MANAGE: Reduce the impact of widespread invasive species and

4. CAPACITY: Ensure all land managers in Sydney and the Blue Mountains have the ability and commitment to manage invasive species.

Activities and measurable outcomes are listed beneath each goal. These have been developed so that SWC can assess how effectively the Weed Action Plan has been implemented. The following activities and outcomes refer to the Weeds Action Program 2010-2015 project for the Sydney Region. They will be updated at the next review of this document.

MINIMISING WEED SPREAD – ACTION PLAN

The activities of all individuals may contribute to the introduction of new weed species, or the spread of existing weeds.

All land managers have a role to prevent the spread of weeds to neighbouring properties and to work co-operatively to ensure optimal outcomes are achieved. The following table summarises activities identified to minimise weed spread from each pathway. Management Action* Pathway for CoP EMS Comm WRA Educ R &D Resources Clean Compliance, Third Incentives potential & Made Down Evaluation/ Party Levies Aware Available Facilities Audit/ Inspections Weed spread Surveillance Involving monitoring human Activity Transport (land) Transport (water) Tourism

There requires an understanding among communities and industries that weed spread prevention activities must be imbedded as part of a working culture to ensure further impacts are not experienced. Weed Spread prevention must be included as an integral component in the development of future local government, agency and industry weed management plans. 40
