1.5. Decision on application Decision on Permit Granted Application: Decision Date: 08 September 2016 Reasons for Decision: The clearing application has been assessed against the clearing principles, planning

instruments and other matters in accordance with s510 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, and it has been concluded that the proposed clearing is at variance to principle (0, may be at variance to principle (h) and is not likely to be at variance to the remaining clearing principles.

Through assessment if has been determined that the proposed clearing may impact the environmental values of the Porongurup National Park through the introduction or spread of weeds and dieback. Weed and dieback management measures will minimise impacts to this conservation area.

The Delegated Officer determined that the clearing is unlikely to have any significant environmental impacts. State policies and other relevant policies have been taken into consideration in the decision to grant a clearing permit.

Assessment of epplicatiorragainst tlearin principles

(a) Native vegetation should not be cleared if it comprises a high level of biological diversity.

Comments Proposed clearing is not likely to be at variance to this Principle The application is for the clearing of 2.78 hectares of native vegetation within Lot 1855 on Deposited Plan 81454, Porongurup, for the purpose of agricultural activities. The vegetation ranges from completely degraded to good (Keighery, 1994) condition, with the majority of the vegetation in a degraded (Keighery, 1994) condition (DER, 2016). The area is not fenced, and there is evidence of historical grazing throughout the application area, predominately on the northern edges of the application area, with a lack of native understorey within various portions of the site (DER, 2016). Exotic weeds encroach all boundaries of the application area (DER, 2016).

The application area has been considered as two distinct areas based on differences in the vegetation condition and composition:

• Area 1 (western portion of application area) is largely comprises of mixed regrowth woodland of Eucalyptus sp. and Eucalyptus marginata over exotic weeds with rocky outcrops (DER, 2016). The majority of the vegetation in Area 1 is in a degraded (Keighery, 1994) condition, with the exception of the area of good (Keighery, 1994) condition vegetation in the north eastern corner (DER, 2016). The applicant has advised the purpose of the clearing in Area 1 is to maintain a buffer zone for bushfire hazard reduction around a shed that will be constructed adjacent to this area (Maher, 2016).

• Area 2 (eastern portion of application area) comprises of a mixed woodland of Eucalyptus diversicolor, Eucalyptus marginata and Corymbia calophylla over bracken fern and other native shrubs. The ground cover consists of native sedges and exotic weeds. A minor non-perennial watercourse occurs within Area 2 (DER, 2016). The applicant has advised that Area 2 will be semi cleared/thinned, and many of the larger trees will be retained to provide shelter for stock (Maher, 2016).

Twenty nine species of priority flora have been recorded in the local area (10 kilometre radius). The closest priority flora is Spyridium spadiceum (Priority 4) mapped approximately 413 metres south west of the application area. This species prefers granitic hills on sand or gravelly loam (Western Australian Herbarium, 1998-). Noting the habitat requirements for this species, suitable habitat may occur within the application area. However, given the high level of weed infestation and that Priority 4 species are considered to have been adequately surveyed, and not currently threatened or in need of special protection, only if present circumstances change (Department of Parks and Wildlife, 2014), no significant impacts to the species are expected even if present.

Given the history of grazing and the largely degraded (Keighery, 1994) condition of the majority of the vegetation under application, it is unlikely any other rare or priority flora occur within the area under application. Therefore, the clearing proposed is unlikely to have an impact on the conservation status of any such species.

The closest priority ecological community (PEC) known as 'Wet ironstone heath community (Albany District)' is mapped 7.9 kilometres from the application area. A site inspection undertaken by DER (2016) identified that the vegetation under application is not consistent with this PEC.

According to available databases, no threatened ecological communities have been recorded within 10 kilometres of the application area.

Porongurup National Park is located adjacent to the application area. The proposed clearing will increase the risk of weeds and dieback spreading into this conservation area. Weed and dieback mitigation measures will assist in mitigating this risk.

Although the application area contains habitat for black cockatoos, given its predominantly degraded (Keighery 1994) condition, it is not likely to comprise a high level of biological diversity. Therefore the proposed clearing is not likely to be at variance to this clearing Principle.

(b) Native vegetation should not be cleared if it comprises the whole or a part of, or is necessary for the maintenance of, a significant habitat for fauna indigenous to Western Australia.

Comments Proposed clearing is not likely to be at variance to this Principle A total of 11 conservation significant fauna have been recorded within 10 kilometres of the application area (Department of Parks and Wildlife, 2007- ). Of these species, the following are likely to utilise the application


area: Baudin's cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus baudinii), Carnaby's cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus latirostris) and Forest red-tailed black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii subsp. naso) that are (all listed as rare or likely to become extinct under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WC Act)) and the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) (listed as Schedule 7 (other specially protected fauna) under the WC Act).

Forest red-tailed black cockatoo, Baudin's cockatoo and Carnaby's cockatoo forage on the seeds, nuts and flowers of a large variety of plants including proteaceous species (banksia, hakea, grevillea), as well as allocasuarina and eucalyptus species, Coiymbia calophylla and a range of introduced species (Valentine and Stock, 2008). A site inspection (DER, 2016) identified that the application area comprises of foraging habitat suitable for these species. Although suitable for foraging, the vegetation under application is unlikely to provide significant foraging habitat given that higher quality vegetation is located within the extensive Porongurup National Park bordering Area 2 to the south. The applicant has advised that they will be retaining the majority of the larger trees within Area 2.

Potential habitat trees for the three black cockatoo species have a diameter at average adult human chest height of greater than 50 centimetres. Suitable habitat trees are generally healthy but with dead limbs and broken crowns that are likely to contain hollows and roosts suitable for native fauna. A site inspection identified a few trees with a diameter greater than 50 centimetres, however they did not contain any visible hollows suitable for black cockatoo nesting (DER, 2016). Given the juvenile nature of the majority of trees under application, and the extensive nearby remnant vegetation adjoining the application area, significant nesting habitat is not likely to be found within the area proposed for clearing.

The peregrine falcon has a preference for areas with rocky ledges, cliffs, watercourses, open woodlands or margins of cleared land (Department of Environment and Energy, 2016). Noting the condition and type of vegetation under application, and the presence of open woodlands and cleared land in the local area, it is considered that the application area may contain suitable habitat for this species. However noting the mobile nature of this species, it is unlikely these species would roost exclusively within the application area.

Given the above, the proposed clearing is not likely to be at variance to this Principle.

(c) Native vegetation should not be cleared if it includes, or is necessary for the continued existence of, rare flora.

Comments Proposed clearing is not likely to be at variance to this Principle A search of the Department of Parks and Wildlife's rare flora database, revealed that nine records of rare flora species occur within the local area (10 kilometre radius), with the closest species recorded approximately 900 metres south west of the application area. The closest records of this species to the application area have been found to occur within granite fissures, granite slopes, brown sandy loam over granite and in sheltered crevices (Western Australian Herbarium, 1998-). Noting the habitat requirements of this species, it is considered that suitable habitat may occur within the application area. However, a site inspection (DER, 2016) revealed that the application area has been subject to historical disturbance from grazing and has a relatively high level of weed invasion. Given this, it is unlikely that the application area contains habitat suitable for this species.

(d) Native vegetation should not be cleared if it comprises the whole or a part of, or is necessary for the maintenance of a threatened ecological community.

Comments Proposed clearing is not likely to be at variance to this Principle According to available databases, there are no threatened ecological communities (TEC) mapped within the local area (10 kilometre radius). Therefore the application area is not likely to comprise the whole or part of, or be necessary for the maintenance of a TEC.



Methodology GIS Databases: SAC Bio Datasets (Accessed September 2016)

(e) Native vegetation should not be cleared if it is significant as a remnant of native vegetation in an area that has been extensively cleared.

Comments Proposed clearing is not likely to be at variance to this Principle The area under application is located within the Jarrah Forest Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia (IBRA) bioregion. This IBRA bioregion has approximately 54 per cent of its pre-European vegetation extent remaining (Government of Western Australia, 2015).

The vegetation under application comprises of Beard vegetation association 1 of which there is approximately 81 per cent of its pre-European extent remaining within the Jarrah Forest Bioregion (Government of Western Australia, 2015).

The application area is located within the Shire of Plantagenet, within which there is approximately 45 per cent of pre-European extent remaining (Government of Western Australia, 2015).

The national objectives and targets for biodiversity conservation in Australia has a target to prevent clearance of ecological communities with an extent below 30 per cent of that present pre-1750, below which species loss appears to accelerate exponentially at an ecosystem level (Commonwealth of Australia, 2001).

The local area retains approximately 15 per cent of native vegetation within a 10 kilometre radius. Therefore, the application falls within a highly cleared landscape. While in a highly cleared landscape, the vegetation under application is not considered a significant remnant due to the low biodiversity values and the well represented vegetation association within the application area.

(f) Native vegetation should not be cleared if it is growing in, or in association with, an environment associated with a watercourse or wetland.

Comments Proposed clearing is at variance to this Principle A minor non-perennial watercourse intersects Area 2 flowing in a north-easterly direction. A site inspection undertaken by DER (2016) identified wetland vegetation associated with this watercourse within Area 2. However, impacts to this watercourse from the proposed clearing are likely to be minimal given the applicant has advised that the watercourse will remain vegetated and fenced off from livestock (Maher, 2016).

The proposed clearing is at variance to this Principle.

(g) Native vege ta t ion s h o u l d n o t b e c leared if t h e clearing o f t h e v e g e t a t i o n i s likely t o c a u s e appreciable land degradation.

Comments P r o p o s e d c learing is not likely t o b e at variance t o th is Principle The soils within the application area have been mapped at a regional scale by the Department of Agriculture and Food Western Australia (DAFWA) and are comprised of two soil landscape units, being, Barrow upper slope phase (Map Unit 242PrBAg) and Barrow lower slope phase (Map Unit 242PrBAf).

Map Unit 242PrBAg lies on the mid and upper slope position and is described as Jarrah/Marri/Karri forest with granite outcrops (Commissioner of Soil and Land Conservation, 2016).

A very minor portion of the northern perimeter of Areas 1 and 2 occurs within Map Unit 242PrBAf which is comprised of yellow duplex soils supporting Jarrah-Marri and Yate forest (Commissioner of Soil and Land Conservation, 2016).

A Land Degradation Assessment undertaken by DAFWA identified that the application area is in the transition zone of, and is influenced by, both map units, with Map Unit 242PrBAg the best represented. The application area has a low to moderate land capability rating for the proposed agricultural land use (Commissioner of Soil and Land Conservation, 2016).

The Land Degradation Assessment Report undertaken by DAFWA identified that the risk of waterlogging, eutrophication, salinity and wind erosion causing land degradation is low (Commissioner of Soil and Land Conservation, 2016).

The application area is situated on sloping land with a gradient of up to one in 3 at Area 1 and up to one in 6 at Area 2. The Land Degradation Assessment Report undertaken by DAFWA identified that water erosion is possible due to the land slopes present within the application area. Although the application area is situated on a slope, it is not likely the proposed clearing will cause appreciable land degradation in the form of water erosion given the vegetation in Area 1 is predominantly regrowth in a degraded (Keighery, 1994) condition, and that many of the larger trees will be retained within Area 2 (Maher, 2016).

(h) Native vege ta t ion s h o u l d n o t b e c leared if t h e clearing o f t h e vege ta t ion i s likely t o h a v e a n impact on t h e environmental v a l u e s o f a n y adjacent or nearby conserva t ion area.

Comments P r o p o s e d c learing m a y b e at var iance t o th is Principle The closest conservation area is the Porongurup Nature Reserve which borders the southern boundary of Area 2. The Department of Parks and Wildlife (2016) has advised that environmental weeds are a significant issue in and surrounding the Porongurup National Park and that there has been a significant effort in controlling weeds within the National Park and within the area proposed for clearing.

The proposed clearing may impact on the environmental values of this conservation area through increased edge effects through the introduction and spread of weeds and dieback. Weed and dieback management practices will further ensure that the potential environmental impacts to the Porongurup National Park are minimised. The applicant has advised that they will be constructing a fence along the border of the national park and their property, which will also help to mitigate the risk of weeds spreading into this conservation area due to grazing.

Given the above, the proposed clearing may be at variance to this Principle.

Methodology References: Department of Parks and Wildlife (2016)

(i) Native vege ta t ion s h o u l d n o t b e c leared if t h e clearing o f t h e vege ta t ion i s likely t o c a u s e deterioration in t h e quality o f s u r f a c e o r underground water.

Comments P r o p o s e d clearing i s n o t likely t o b e at variance t o th i s Principle A minor non-perennial watercourse intersects Area 2 flowing in a north-easterly direction.

The topography of the application area slopes towards the minor non-perennial watercourse from south west to north east, and the proposed clearing may result in water erosion, sediment transport and associated turbidity to this non-perennial watercourse. However, given the applicant has advised that they will maintain a vegetative buffer and fence off from livestock to protect this, it is not likely the proposed clearing will significantly impact surface water or groundwater quality (Maher, 2016).


Groundwater salinity within the application area has been mapped as brackish to moderately saline at between 1000-3000 milligrams per litre Total Dissolved Solids. Given the applicant proposes to retain many of the larger trees within the application area and the sites adjoin the extensive Porongurup National Park, it is not likely the proposed clearing will lead to a perceptible rise in the water table and thus an increase in groundwater salinity levels.

(j) Native vegetation should not be cleared if clearing the vegetation is likely to cause, or exacerbate, the incidence or intensity of flooding.

Comments Proposed clearing is not likely to be at variance to this Principle A Land Degradation Assessment undertaken by DAFWA identified that the risk of flooding causing land degradation as a result of the proposed clearing is low (Commissioner of Soil and Land Conservation, 2016).

The proposed clearing is not likely to be at variance to this Principle.

Methodology References: Commissioner of Soil and Land Conservation (2016)

Planning instruments and other relevant matters.

Comments The Department of Parks and Wildlife (Parks and Wildlife, 2016) has advised that where the clearing is proposed within Area 2 immediately adjacent to the boundary of the Porongurup National Park, there is currently no defined fence or firebreak. Parks and Wildlife (2016) has raised concern that if approval is given for the proposed clearing and stock is to be grazed on cleared land, fencing along the boundary line should be constructed to separate and protect the adjacent native vegetation associated with this conservation area. The applicant has advised that they will be constructing a fence along the border of the Porongorup National Park and their property.

The application area is zoned 'Rural' under the Town Planning Scheme.

There are no Aboriginal Sites of Significance recorded in the application area.

The application was advertised in The West Australian newspaper on 11 July 2016 for a 21 day submission period. No submissions have been received in the relation to this application.
