This inventory was then used to determine the wetlands functionality in regards to their intended purpose and design, and create a series of management recommendations for submission to Shellharbour City Council. The constructed wetlands were designed to provide stormwater detention and treatment to the recently developed residential catchments within the Shellharbour Local Government Area, and provide compensatory habitat for local fauna and flora. Water, soil and vegetation analyses were undertaken to examine the wetlands. Water quality testing at Myimbarr/Tongarra Creek system revealed that water quality improves and becomes stabilised as it moves through the catchment, indicating the efficiency of the wetlands in eatingtr stormwater runoff. Results obtained at Shell Cove sites indicated that water quality was good and conditions are quite consistent throughout the Shell Cove catchment, however as the ponds are disconnected from one another results are not indicative of patterns occurring on a system-wide scale. Soil types determined within the wetlands included silty clay, silty clay loam, silty loam and sand. Soil pollution was not identified at the Myimbarr/Tongarra Creek sites, however elevated readings of Cu, Zn and Pb obtained at one Shell Cove site indicate small-scale pollution may be present. Vegetation surveys showed that introduced species were problematic throughout both wetlands systems, as were dominant native species. It was determined that the wetlands were achieving their intended purpose in providing stormwater treatment and habitat, however areas for improvement were identified. Management should target water quality, sedimentation, vegetation and catchment practices to maintain the health and functionality of the constructed wetland systems and prevent future degradation.

Thank you to the staff at Shellharbour City Council, in particular Andrew Williams for his assistance with water quality and sampling; Andrew Lee for sharing his plethora of knowledge of plant species, and for helping me identify the many samples I arrived at the council with; and Sharyn Langford for her assistance in creating my maps. I would like to thank Jose Abrantes for his assistance in the preparation and analysis of my soil samples. Finally my friends and family, I could not have got through it without you. Thank you to my friends for your sympathy and support, and for not tiring of my endless thesis-talk. A special thanks to my uni friends, this year would have been much harder without having someone to share the good and bad times, and have a laugh with. Thank you to my dad, for your tireless efforts assisting with my fieldwork. Thank you for carrying my equipment and offering advice with (almost) no complaints. Thank you to my mum for listening to my endless rants on the phone and providing plenty of home-cooked meals when I needed them. Thank you to my sisters who provided support, lollies and chocolate when they were needed most, and to Sinead for putting up with me as a housemate throughout the year. iv Abstract The study of two constructed wetland systems in Shellharbour was undertaken to create an inventory of the various components constituting the wetlands.

  • Illawarra Councils and Southern Rivers Cma Partnering in Biodiversity Conservation in the Illawarra
    ILLAWARRA COUNCILS AND SOUTHERN RIVERS CMA PARTNERING IN BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION IN THE ILLAWARRA J Lemmon 1, C Presland 2 1Wollongong City Council, Wollongong, NSW 2Southern Rivers CMA, Wollongong, NSW Abstract The Illawarra Councils; Kiama Municipal Council, Shellharbour City Council and Wollongong City Council, have partnered, with support from the NSW Environmental Trust’s Urban Sustainability Program to develop and implement an Illawarra Biodiversity Strategy (the Strategy). Partnerships with Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (CMA) and Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) have enhanced the coordinated approach to developing the Strategy, ensuring it assists in meeting higher order state and regional biodiversity targets. The Catchment Action Plan (CAP) (Southern Rivers CMA, 2006), and Threatened Species Prioritisation (DECCW, 2008) provided guidance for the development of the plan through the setting of regional targets. These targets have been translated into more specific priorities and actions for the partner Councils. By working together the coordination and future management of biodiversity across the Illawarra region has improved. The Strategy describes a method used for prioritising natural areas for investment in bush restoration. To guide conservation priorities across the landscape, it also maps regional biodiversity corridors and prioritises vegetation types using endemism within the region as a key variable. Southern Rivers CMA implements the Strategy through funding restoration work in priority natural areas, and the delivery of the ‘Escarpment to Sea’ project which aims to work directly with landholders within regional corridors to improve land management in high priority areas. The Councils implement the strategy through a range of co- ordinated regional and independent actions in natural area management, land use planning, data collection and community participation.
