The study area was assessed by Mark Wapstra on 18 August 2018. Summary of key findings Threatened flora • No plant species listed as threatened on the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBCA) were detected, or are known from database information, from the study area. • No plant species listed as threatened on the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 (TSPA) were detected, or are known from database information, from the study area. Threatened fauna • Five point locations for Lathamus discolor (swift parrot), listed as Critically Endangered and endangered on Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBCA) and Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 (TSPA), respectively, are known from the study area. The study area includes a consolidated patch of Eucalyptus globulus dry forest and woodland (TASVEG code: DGL) and additional scattered individuals of Eucalyptus globulus (blue gum), both habitat components considered important ads a foraging resource for the swift parrot. • Perameles gunnii (eastern barred bandicoot), listed as Vulnerable on the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBCA), has been anecdotally reported from the study area (but not confirmed in formal database reports), and potential habitat is present. • Potential (marginal) habitat is also present from Sarcophilus harrisii (Tasmanian devil), Dasyurus maculatus (spotted-tailed quoll), Dasyurus viverrinus (eastern quoll) and Tyto novaehollandiae (masked owl), all variously listed

  • Overview of Tasmania's Offshore Islands and Their Role in Nature
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 154, 2020 83 OVERVIEW OF TASMANIA’S OFFSHORE ISLANDS AND THEIR ROLE IN NATURE CONSERVATION by Sally L. Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.

  • South, Tasmania
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

  • Flowering Times of Tasmanian Orchids: a Practical Guide for Field Botanists
    Flowering Times of Tasmanian Orchids: A Practical Guide for Field Botanists 0 Flowering Times of Tasmanian Orchids: A Practical Guide for Field Botanists FOREWORD This document fills a significant gap in the Tasmanian orchid literature. Given the inherent difficulties in locating and surveying orchids in their natural habitat, an accurate guide to their flowering times will be an invaluable tool to field botanists, consultants and orchid enthusiasts alike. Flowering Times of Tasmanian Orchids: A Practical Guide for Field Botanists has been developed by Tasmania’s leading orchid experts, drawing collectively on many decades of field experience. The result is the most comprehensive State reference on orchid flowering available. By virtue of its ease of use, accessibility and identification of accurate windows for locating our often-cryptic orchids, it will actually assist in conservation by enabling land managers and consultants to more easily comply with the survey requirements of a range of land-use planning processes. The use of this guide will enhance efforts to locate new populations and increase our understanding of the distribution of orchid species. The Threatened Species Section commends this guide and strongly recommends its use as a reference whenever surveys for orchids are undertaken.

  • Dicotyledons
    DICOTYLEDONS DICOTYLEDONS Photo : Paul Black 63 ASTERACEAE LEAFY GROUNDSEL Senecio squarrosus Current Status: Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999: not listed Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995: Rare Description and distribution: An annual or short-lived perennial herb with an erect stem 40-80cm high and few yellow flowers. Lower leaves 7-10cm long, sometimes coarsely toothed. The upper surfaces of the leaves are green, with a purplish, hairy webbed lower surface. This species is widespread but localised and only occurs occasionally in Tasmania. Known to occur around the Launceston areas, on Gull Island in the Furneaux Group, around the Hobart area with populations at Cambridge, Kingston and Blackmans Bay and at Dunalley. There are estimated to be 8-9 populations. There is one record of this species on Partridge Island off Bruny Island (see Map 2). It is also found in Victoria and New South Wales (Curtis 1963). Key habitat: In open places, including dry sclerophyll forest (Kirkpatrick 1991). Key threats to the species: S Habitat loss through clearing and subdivision. Photo: Tasmanian Herbarium specimen S Inappropriate fire patterns and intensities. Management: S Protect the known site on Partridge Island from inappropriate fire patterns and intensities. This species is unlikely to be adversely affected by fire if frequencies are between 5-15 years. Do not undertake burning without advice from DPIWE or Parks and Wildlife Service. S Develop effective information and management guidelines for clearing and subdivision. S Monitor known populations for threats, declines and results of management actions and develop mechanisms to ensure management changes or intervention if required.

  • Recovery Plan for Tasmanian Threatened Orchids
    DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRIES AND WATER Threatened Tasmanian Orchids Flora Recovery Plan 2006 - 2010 Threatened Tasmanian Orchid Flora Recovery Plan 2006-2010 1 DISCLAIMER This recovery plan has been prepared under the provisions of both the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 (TSP Act). There are 68 orchid species covered by this plan, of which 34 are listed as threatened under both State and Commonwealth legislation, the remaining listed as rare or threatened under the TSP Act only. Twenty of the orchid species covered by this plan are endemic to Tasmania. For those species that also occur in other states this plan addresses the Tasmanian populations only. Adoption as a national recovery plan under the EPBC Act refers only to species listed under the EPBC Act. The taxonomy of orchids is constantly being revised. Should a species covered by this plan be split into several taxa all populations will remain covered by this plan under the original listing of the species. In the event of new orchid species being listed the content and actions of this plan will also be relevant to those new species, however this plan will then require revision to include the new species. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This plan was prepared by Aaron Dalgleish with assistance and advice from Wendy Potts (TSS), Sally Bryant (TSS), Hans and Anne Wapstra, David Ziegeler, Andrew Pritchard (DSE) and Richard Schahinger (TSS). Fiona Coates (DSE), Gary French (PV), Brendon Sullivan (PV) and Andrew Batty (BGPA) provided valuable information concerning existing orchid recovery programs in other states.
