  • History of Conservation Reserves in the South-West of Western Australia

    History of Conservation Reserves in the South-West of Western Australia

    JournalJournal of ofthe the Royal Royal Society Society of ofWestern Western Australia, Australia, 79(4), 79:225–240, December 1996 1996 History of conservation reserves in the south-west of Western Australia G E Rundle WA National Parks and Reserves Association, The Peninsula Community Centre, 219 Railway Parade, Maylands WA 6051 Abstract Focusing on the Darling Botanical District, reservation in the south-west of Western Australia largely involves the forest estate. The remaining natural bushland today is mainly reserves of State forest and so further opportunities to create new national parks or nature reserves of any significance would generally mean converting a State forest reserve to some other sort of conser- vation reserve. Thus, the history of Western Australia’s State forest reservation is important. The varied origins of some of the region’s well-known and popular national parks are of special interest. Their preservation as conservation reserves generally had little to do with scien- tific interest and a lot to do with community pleasure in the outdoors and scenery. Their protec- tion from early development had little to do with the flora and habitat protection needs that are the focus of these Symposium proceedings. Factors such as lack of shipping access, the discovery of glittering caverns, and the innovation of excursion railways were involved in saving the day. In contrast, the progressive reservation of State Forest was a hard slog by an insular Forests Depart- ment against many opponents. The creation of a comprehensive system of conservation reserves in this part of Western Australia is an on-going modern phenomenon with continued wide popular support.

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________ PO Box 437 Kalamunda WA 6926 +61 08 9257 1625 [email protected] REVIEW OF FLORA, VEGETATION AND FAUNA VALUES ON LOTS 5 & 6 (NO 1728) GREAT NORTHERN HIGHWAY, BULLSBROOK 1. INTRODUCTION Mattiske Consulting Pty Ltd was commissioned in November 2018 by Brikmakers to undertake a flora, vegetation and fauna assessment of a proposed expansion area for clay and sand extraction to the south of Walyunga Road. The proposed expansion area occurs on approximately 15.9141 hectares of which 2.31ha consists of isolated trees and small remnants of Jarrah, Marri and Wandoo over pasture on the proposed northern sand pit, 0.17ha consists of Banksia trees over pasture on the proposed northern sand pit, 0.08ha consists of planted trees on the proposed southern sand pit, 0.08 consists of isolated Sheoak trees over pasture and 0.03ha consists of an isolated Marri tree on the proposed clay pit, see Figures 1 and 2 and Appendix A (photographs). The majority of the area is completely degraded and is currently used for grazing cattle. In the remaining areas of trees, the understorey is dominated by pasture species or introduced species. The latter degraded nature of the area has resulted from the agricultural activities on the area. It is also intended to clear a small section (620m2) of the road verges of Walyunga Road, Bullsbrook, Figure 3 and Appendix A. The area occurs on the Pinjarra plain on the eastern section of the Swan Coastal Plain. The section of road verge is proposed to be required to ensure safe access to the areas to the south of Walyunga Road.
