    DRAFT 25/10/90; plant list updated Oct. 1992; notes added June 2021. PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE CONSERVATION VALUES OF OPEN COUNTRY PADDOCK, BOOLARDY STATION Allan H. Burbidge and J.K. Rolfe INTRODUCTION Boolardy Station is situated about 150 km north of Yalgoo and 140 km west-north-west of Cue, in the Shire of Murchison, Western Australia. Open Country Paddock (about 16 000 ha) is in the south-east corner of the station, at 27o05'S, 116o50'E. The most prominent named feature is Coolamooka Hill, near the eastern boundary of the paddock. There are no conservation reserves in this region, although there are some small reserves set aside for various other purposes. Previous biological data for the station consist of broad scale vegetation mapping and land system mapping. Beard (1976) mapped the entire Murchison region at 1: 1 000 000. The Open Country Paddock area was mapped as supporting mulga woodlands and shrublands. More detailed mapping of land system units for rangeland assessment purposes has been carried out more recently at a scale of 1: 40 000 (Payne and Curry in prep.). Seven land systems were identified in open Country Paddock (Fig. 1). Apart from these studies, no detailed biological survey work appears to have been done in the area. Open Country Paddock has been only lightly grazed by domestic stock because of the presence of Kite-leaf Poison (Gastrolobium laytonii) and a lack of fresh water. Because of this and the generally good condition of the paddock and presence of a wide range of plant species, P.J.

ABSTRACT A quadrat based study of the flora and vegetation of the Robinson Ranges and Mount Gould, found 170 taxa including 1 weed taxon. Two priority taxa were recorded and two new taxa identified. Fifty quadrats were established to cover the major geographical, geomorphologic and floristic variation across the hills. Data from 49 of these quadrats were used to define seven community types. Differences in communities were strongly correlated with soil chemistry, elevation, amount of exposed bedrock, surficial rock size and slope. Several communities had restricted distributions. None the plant communities of Robinson Range or Mount Gould are currently in the secure conservation estate. INTRODUCTION by cyclonic activity off the Pilbara coast of Western Australia.

    S.J. Dillon, Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara 103 Nuytsia The journal of the Western Australian Herbarium 24: 103–108 Published online 3 July 2014 Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara of Western Australia Steven J. Dillon Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 Email: [email protected] Abstract Dillon, S.J. Grevillea saxicola (Proteaceae), a new species from the Pilbara of Western Australia. Nuytsia 24: 103–108 (2014). A new species of Grevillea R.Br. ex Knight, G. saxicola S.J.Dillon, is described. An amendment to an existing key of Grevillea is provided to include the new taxon, which has conservation priority. Introduction Grevillea R.Br. ex Knight is the third largest genus in Western Australia with 348 taxa, 14 of which occur in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The last revision of the genus was by Makinson (2000) and since that time a further c. 20 taxa have been added to the census of Western Australian plants (Western Australian Herbarium 1998–). Close examination of several Grevillea collections from the southern Pilbara revealed a distinct new taxon that had been previously ascribed to either G. nematophylla F.Muell. or G. berryana Ewart & Jean White. This finding was supported by more recent collections and this new species is described here as G. saxicola S.J.Dillon. Methods Descriptions and measurements are based on dried herbarium specimens held at the Western Australian Herbarium. When possible, up to five flowers were re-hydrated from each specimen for floral examination.

Application Clearing Area (ha) No. Trees Method of Clearing For the purpose of: 201.8 Mechanical Removal Mineral Production and Associated Activities 1.5. Decision on application Decision on Permit Application: Refuse Decision Date: 24 September 2020 Reasons for Decision The clearing permit application was received on 08 January 2020 and has been assessed against the clearing principles, planning instruments, and other matters in accordance with section 51O of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act). The initial assessment of the application determined that the proposed clearing would likely result in significant impacts to conservation significant flora and fauna, and was therefore unlikely to be considered acceptable. The applicant was given the opportunity to provide additional information and/or modify their clearing proposal in order to reduce the environmental impacts. In response, Mid-West Tungsten Pty Ltd provided additional information and biological survey reports. The additional information and survey reports were taken into consideration when making the decision on this application.

This included a pilot study Abbreviations at Charles Darwin Reserve and a longer study of Charles Darwin, Kadji Kadji, Lochada and Karara reserves. Results include 651 species added to those known across the reserves and the discovery of 35 putative species new to science. The majority of ANHAT these new species occur within the heteroptera (plant bugs) and Australian Natural Heritage Assessment lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) taxonomic groups.

  • Flora and Vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields Ranges: Part 2. Bremer Range
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 81:107-117, 1998 Flora and Vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields Ranges: Part 2. Bremer Range N Gibson & M N Lyons Science and Information Division, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Centre, PO Box 51 Wanneroo WA 6065 email: [email protected]; [email protected] Manuscript received March 1997; accepted November 1997 Abstract A study of the flora and plant communities of the Bremer Range greenstone belt in the spring of 1994 recorded 267 taxa. Only eight weed species were recorded but this number is likely to increase if further work is carried out in a better season. The flora list included one species gazetted as rare and new populations of five rare or poorly known taxa. Three species appear to be endemic to the Bremer Range greenstone belt, one of which was collected for the first time. Six community types were defined from 64 sites spread across the range. The distribution of these community types appears to be primarily controlled by edaphic factors including soil water holding capacity. The floristic classification is in broad agreement with previous work but shows finer-scale patterning. None of the floristic communities or the endemic taxa are presently reserved. There has been significant impact on the vegetation of this range by mining and mineral exploration. Introduction time (possibly Cretaceous) of higher rainfall. Widespread laterization of the granites and greenstones is believed to The geology of ranges of the Goldfields region of have occurred during the Tertiary i.e. the last 65 My Western Australia has been subject to extensive and (Newbey 1988).
