ln NSW, it is represented by three disjunct populations, in theCumberland Plains in Sydney, the coast between Tathra and Bermaguiand the Windellama area. Occurs in a range of habitats. NSWpopulations are generally among woodland vegetation but plants havealso been found on road batters and coastal cliffs. lt is largely conflned toloamy soils in dry gullies in populations in the Windellama area.

Scattered throughout the Cumberland plain where it grows on clay andclay-shale soils.

Within NSW, has only ever been recorded at three sites, to the west ofSydney, near the Colo, Georges and Nepean Rivers. Grows on hillsidesand riverbanks and may be restricted to fine sandy soils.

Recorded from the Georges River to Hawkesbury River in the Sydneyarea, and north to the Nelson Bay area of NSW. For the Sydney area,recent records are limited to the Hornsby Plateau area near theHawkesbury River. Grows in dry sclerophyll forest on the coast andadjacent ranges.

Occurs on the alluvial flats of the Nepean River and its tributaries.Requires a combination of deep alluvial sands and a flooding regime thatpermits seedling establishment.

Confined to the New England Tablelands of NSW, where it occurs fromNundle to north of Tenterfield, largely on private property. Grows in drygrassy woodland, on shallow and infertile soils, mainly on granite.

The core distribution is the Cumberland Plain from Windsor to Penritheast to Deans Park. Other populations in western Sydney are recordedfrom Voyager Point and Kemps Creek in the Liverpool LGA, Castlereaghlronbark Forest to Castlereagh Scribbly Gum Woodland.

Endemic to the Cumberland Plain. Core distribution is from Windsor toPenrith and east to Dean Park. Outlier populations are recorded fromKemps Creek and Wilberforce.

Grows on reddish clay to sandy soils derived from Wianamatta Shale and

Tertiary alluvium (often with shale influence), typically containing lateriticgravels.

Grows in sandy or light clay soils usually over thin shales. Occurs in a

range of vegetation types from heath and shrubby woodland to open

The Type location (from the 19th Century) is Liverpool, west of SydneyRecorded in forest, low open woodland with grassy understorey and

secondary grassland on the higher parts of the Southern and Central

Tablelands (especially on the Great Dividing Range).

Occurs in north-east NSW north from Evans Head, and in Queensland.

Coastal heathland with Heath Banksia (Banksia ericifolia), and lower-

growing heath with lichen-encrusted and relatively undisturbed soil

surfaces, on sandy soils.

Most commonly found growing in small pockets of shallow soil indepressions on sandstone rock shelves above cliff lines. The vegetationcommunities above the shelves where Pferostylis saxicola occurs are

sclerophyll forest or woodland on shale/sandstone transition soils orshade soils.

ln NSW it is known from only three locations near Tenterfield, including

Bald Rock National Park. Found in open eucalypt forest and woodland on

well-drained granite hilltops, slopes and rocky outcrops.

Occurs in two distinct areas, in the Ku-ringgai/Berowra and

HolsworthyMedderburn areas respectively. The species grows in heath

on sandstone.

The Magenta Lilly Pilly is found only in NSW, in a narrow, linear coastal

strip from Bulahdelah to Conjola State Forest. On the south coast the

Magenta Lilly Pilly occurs on grey soils over sandstone, restricted mainly

to remnant stands of littoral (coastal) rainforest. On the central coastMagenta Lilly Pilly occurs on gravels, sands, silts and clays in riversidegallery rainforests and remnant littoral rainforest communities.

along tracks.

Found in a very limited area around the Colo, Nepean and Hawkesbury

Rivers. lt grows in moist woodland or forest on clay and alluvial soils offlood plains and creek lines.

Has a scattered distribution around Sydney. ls found in sandy soils in drysclerophyll open forest, woodland and heath on sandstone.

Restricted to the Cumberland Plain in western Sydney, betweenRichmond in the north and Macquarie Fields in the south. ls found in

sandy soils in dry sclerophyll open forest, woodland and heath onsandstone.

Occurs on undulating topography on substrates derived from WianamattaShale in areas of Cumberland Plain Woodland Vegetation Community.

Japan - Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (JAMBA)

The JAMBA agreement is a bilateral agreement between Australia and Japan that provides

for the protection and conservation of migratory birds.

There are no JAMBA listed birds in the study area for the development proposal to consider

China - Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (CAMBA)

The CAMBA agreement is a bilateral agreement between Australia and China that provides

for the protection and conservation of migratory birds.

Rostratula benghalensis australis (painted snipe), Gallinago hardwickii(Latham's snipe) andApus pacificus (fork{ailed swift) are bird species listed in CAMBA that may occur in Australand Leppington North precincts. Development proposals must abide by the laws and

regulations under the Agreement.

Environment Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act)

Ihe EPBC Acf provides a statutory framework to protect and manage nationally andinternationally important flora, fauna, ecological communities and heritage places defined in

the EPBC Acf as matters of National Environmental Significance (NES) (DEWHA, 1999).

Cumberland Plain Woodland - Shale Plains Woodland, Sydney Coastal River Flat Forest -Alluvial Woodland and the Shale-Gravel Transitional Forest are all listed as criticallyEndangered Ecological Communities under the EPBC Acf. Development proposals must

normally abide by the regulations under the Act, noting that where Strategic Assessmentunder the EPBC Act has been undertaken, exemptions may apply.

Strategic Assessment under the Environment Protection & Biodiversity Conse¡vation Act1999 (EPBC Act)

A Strategic Assessment under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and BiodiversityConse¡yation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) is a big-picture study of an area to assess how national

environmentaland heritage values can be protected.

The Strategic Assessment process allows for assessment and endorsement of a proposed

broad-scale policy, plan or program.

Through Strategic Assessments, the Commonwealth Government works with partners -such as state or local governments -- to ensure a policy, plan or program will adequatelysafeguard nationally protected matters for the long term.

Strategic Assessments reduce red tape by addressing Commonwealth environmentalconcerns giving greater upfront clarity to developers, landholders, planners, industry,government and the community.

Once a strategic assessment is complete and approvals have been given, individualproponents will not have to seek approval under the EPBC Act from the CommonwealthGovernment, as long as they undertake their projects in accordance with the endorsedpolicy, plan or program.

The implications for this study are that within the Austral and Leppington North precincts,proposals do not need to be referred to the Commonwealth Govemment under the EPBCAct if the proposal is inside the Growth Centres, and in accordance with the endorsedProgram, noting that:

Any proposal to clear land that is certified under the Growth Centres Biodiversity

Certification is in accordance with the endorsed Program.

Any proposal to clear land that is noncertified must be in accordance with theRelevant Biodiversity Measures (RBMs) of the Growth Centres BiodiversityCertification.

A number of RBMs apply to specific parcels of land or specific types of development,making it essential to check compliance against the RBMs for any proposal in thenon-ceñified areas.

The NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (TSC Act) continues to apply

to land that is non-certified under the Growth Centres Biodiversity Certification.

Environmental Planning andAssessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act) and Assessment Regulation2000 (EP&A Regulation)

The EP&A Acf regulates the implementation and enforcement of planning powers. ltestablishes provisions for the making of Environmental Planning lnstruments (EPls) such as

SEPPs and Local Environmental Plans (LEPs), including the State Environmental PlanningPolicy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006 (Growth Centres SEPP). The EP&ARegulation established additional provisions that provide further guidance on therequirements of the EP&A Act. Of particular significance to planning for Sydney's Growth

Centres are clause 276 which establishes provisions with respect to the release of Precinctsfor urban development and clause 275 which requires an assessment of the consistency ofcertain proposed development with the relevant Growth Centre Structure Plan if a Precinct isreleased (Eco Logical, 2010).

The EP&A Act and the 2000 Regulation set out amongst other things the:

. Requirements regarding the preparation of environmental planning instruments;

. Matters for consideration when determining a development application; and,

. Approval permits and/or licences required from other authorities under otherlegislation.

Section I l7 Directions of the EP&A Acf require councils to address a range of matters when

seeking to rezone land. While not directly relevant to the rezoning process adopted for theGrowth Centres, these directions have been considered in planning for the Austral-Leppington North Precincts.

State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006 (Growth

Centres SEPP)

The Growth Centres SEPP establishes the planning rules and objectives for the GrowthCentres and Councils need to apply the SEPP when making decisions about land within theGrowth Centres. ln particular, the SEPP identifies areas of open space and environmentconservation to be protected within the Growth Centres, and areas that are flood prone ormajor creek lands and transitional lands that need to be fuñher assessed in the Precinctplanning process.

Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment (Sydney Region Growth Centres)Regulation 2006

The Growth Centres Regulation supports the Growth Centres SEPP. The Regulation makesprovision for the release of precincts for residential, employment and other urban

development in the North West and South West Growth Centres. ln particular, it requires theMinister to prepare a Development Code and lnfrastructure Plan to assist with the PrecinctPlanning process.

Threatened Specles Conservation (TSC) Act 1995

The Act identifies threatened species and populations, Endangered Ecological Communities(EEC) and critical habitat, as well as key threatening processes. Approval is required in

order to:

. Harm any animal or plant that is identified as a threatened species or is part of athreatened population or EEC;

. Damagecriticalhabitat;or,

. Damage the habitat of any threatened species, population or EEC.

The Act also provides for the biodiversity certification of environmental planning instrumentssuch as the Growth Centres SEPP, The Biodiversity Certification Order for the GrowthCentres SEPP was gazetted by the Minister for Environment in December 2007.

While development on lands subject to Certification no longer requires assessment underthe fSC ,4cf, the Austral-Leppington development plan should consider and manage thepresence of species, populations and communities listed under the ISC Acf.

Threatened Species Conservation Amendment (Special Provisions) Act 2008

This Bill was introduced to Parliament in 2008. The object of this Bill is to amend the ISCAct to confirm that the Growth Centres SEPP has biodiversity certification under that Act.

The Bill also amends the Local Government Act 1993 to make it clear that, for local

government rating purposes, where part of a parcel of land is the subject of a conservation

agreement under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974, the rate payable on the whole

parcel is to be proportionately reduced.

Fisheries Management Act 1994 (FM Act)

fhe Fisheries Management Act 1994, administered by the lndustry and lnvestment NSW

(l&l NSW) (formerly DPI) applies to any works within aquatic habitats. The FM Acf aims to

conserve, develop and share the fishery resources of NSW for the benefit of present and

future generations. lt defines 'fish' as any marine, estuarine or freshwater fish or other

aquatic animal life at any stage of their life history. This includes insects, molluscs (eg.

oysters), crustaceans, echinoderms, and aquatic polychaetes (eg. beachworms), but does

not include whales, mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians or species specifically excluded

(eg. some dragonflies are protected under the ISC Acf instead of the FM Act). Under this

act, if any activity occurs that will block fish passage, then a permit under this Act will be

required.

Water Management Act 2000 (WMA)

Irhe WMA regulates construction activities in close proximity to watenruays. Principles set out

in the Act generally aim to preserve and/or restore water sources, floodplains, and water

dependant ecosystems (including groundwater and wetlands). The Act also encompasses

the protection of habitats, animals and plants which benefit from water or are potentially

atfected by managed activities.

One of the aims of the WMA is to protect riparian corridors. The ecological assessment

completed will aid in identifying riparian zones in the study area that will need to be

protected.

Noxious Weeds Act 1993

The Noxious Weeds Act 1993 was implemented to regulate the impacts and spread of

weeds within NSW. The Act govems the control, classification and removal of weeds

declared as noxious weeds. Land which is privately occupied requires implementation of

appropriate noxious weed controls under Parl4 of the Act. Penalties apply if the occupierfails to comply.

Based on the results of the flora assessment, the restrictions of the Noxious Weeds Act

1993 will apply to development within the Austral-Leppington North Precincts.

Planning for Bushfire Protection 2006 (PBP 2006)

PBP 2006 has been released and adopted since 1 March 2007 through the Environmental

Planning and Assessment Amendment ( Planning for Bush Fire Protection) Regulation 2007

and the Rural Fires Amendment Regulation 2007. This new vers¡on replaces Planning forBush Fire Protection, 2001.

This new version of PBP applies to all "development applications" on land that is classified

as "bush fire prone land" (BPL), identified on a council's BPL map. For development on BPL

specific controls apply to residential/rural residential subdivision and "Special Fire ProtectionPurposes" (SFPPS) - those types of development specified in the legislation as requiringparticular attention (including mandatory involvement of the Rural Fire Service) (NSW RuralFire Service, 2006).

Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (PoEO Act)

the PoEO Acf provides a single licensing arrangement to replace the different licences and

approvals under existing separate Acts relating to air pollution, water pollution, noisepollution and waste management.

The EPA is made the regulatory authority for:

. Activities listed in Schedule 'l to the Act and the premises where they are carried on;

. Activities carried on by a State or public authority; and,

. Other activities in relation to which a licence regulating water pollution is issued.

ln nearly all other cases, the regulatory authority is the relevant local council.

The activities listed in Schedule 1 to the Act (generally activities with potentially significantenvironmental impacts) require a licence. Licences can also be issued to regulate waterpollution from activities that are not in Schedule 1. Licences are on-going but subject toreview at least once every 5 years and can be varied, suspended or revoked.

Catchment Management Authorities Act 2003 (CMA)

This Act establishes Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) and their roles and

responsibilities, including the development of catchment action plans.

The Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Authority (HNCMA) was formed underCatchment Management Authorities Acf. The primary role of the HNCMA is to fund

environmental projects on private land in areas of critical importance. lt is a statutoryauthority with a board that reports directly to the Minister for Environment, Climate Changeand Water.

Sydney Regional Environmental Plan ISREP) No 20 - Hawkesbury-Nepean River (No 2 -1ee7)

SREP 20 seeks to protect the environment of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River system.Development within the catchment is required to consider the general and specific principles

and controls listed in the SREP to ensure the impacts of future land use are considered in aregional context. Kemps Creek is a tributary of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River system.Precinct Planning must consider the impacts of the development on the health of the system.

State Environmental Planning Policy No.19 (SEPP 19)- Bushland in Urban Areas

SEPP 19 seeks to protect and preserve bushland within certain urban areas, as part of thenatural heritage or for recreational, educational and scientific purposes. The policy is

designed to protect bushland in public open space zones and reservations, and to ensure

that bush preservation is given a high priority when local environmental plans for urbandevelopment are prepared.

The ecological assessment conducted will aid in identifying bushland in the study area thatwill need to be protected.

Growth Centres Development Code 2006

The Development Code sets out the processes to be followed during Precinct Planning. The

Code helps to implement policies at the regional and neighbourhood levels by, amongstothers:

Providing guidance on the Precinct Planning Process;

Promoting best practice urban design;

lncreasing housing choices;

Providing local employment for locals;

Providing facilities and services at a local level;

Maintaining the natural environment and visual character of the topography;

lntegrating existing infrastructure; and,

Providing, protecting and maintaining open space opportunities throughout entirePrecincts.

Growth Centres Conservation Plan 2007

This Conservation Plan identifies the existing biodiversity values within the Growth Centres

and proposes a suite of mechanisms to achieve positive conservation outcomes for Western

Sydney, and more broadly, the Sydney Basin, within the context of streamlining thedevelopment assessment process and providing for the future urban growth of Sydney (Eco

Logical,2007)'.

The objectives of the Conservation Plan are to:

. Outline planning and otfsetting proposals for the Growth Centres;

. Assess whether they will improve or maintain regional biodiversity values; and,

. Confirm the outcomes of the assessments under Section 126G of the ISC ,4cf so

that biodiversity certification may be granted to the Growth Centres SEPP by theMinister for the Environment, Climate Change and Water (Eco Logical,2007).

Assessment of consistency between Relevant Biodiversity Measures of the Biodiversity Certification Order and Austral and Leppington NorthPrecincts

1. lntroduction

ln July 2008 an amendment was made under Schedule 7 Part 7 to the Threatened Species Conseruation Act 1995 (TSC Act) to conferbiodiversity certification on the State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006 (Grovtth Centres SEPP).Compliance with the relevant biodiversity measures (RBMs) in the biodiversity certification order (dated 14 December 2007) is requiredto maintain the certification. The RBMs require (among other things)the retention of 2000 hectares of existing native vegetation withinthe Growth Centres and additional offsetting outside the Growth Centre boundaries.

This report has been prepared to fulfil the requirement of RBM 35 for an assessment of the consistency of proposed precinct plans withthe biodiversity certification and the RBMs.

This report has been prepared in a table format and addresses all RBMs that are relevant to precinct planning. lt is noted that many ofthe RBMs are not specific to precinct planning and have therefore not been included in the report.

A complete copy of the biodiversity certification order (including all relevant biodiversity measures) can be found on the Office ofEnvironmental and Heritage website at http://r,mvw.environment.nsw.qov.au/biocertification/notcert.htm

Where the report indicates that precinct planning is inconsistent with the biodiversity certification, fulljustification for the inconsistency isprovided as part of the ecological assessment for the precinct.


Definitions

Terms defined below appear in bold in the table. Where the terms are also defined in the Biodiversity Certification Order, the definitionsprovided are consistent with those in the Order.

a) cutting down, felling, thinning, logging or removing existing native vegetation in whole or in part,

b) killing, destroying, poisoning, ringbarking, uprooting or burning existing native vegetation in whole or in part.

o Existing Native Vegetation (ENV) means areas of indigenous trees (including any sapling) that:

a) had 10% or greater over storey canopy cover present,

b) were equal to or greater than 0.5 ha in area, and

c) were identified as "vegetation" on maps 4 and 5 of the draft Growth Centres Conservation Plan.

. DECCW means the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (which was the former Department of Environmentand Climate Change, DECC, and is now the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH)).

. DoPlmeans the Department of Planning and lnfrastructure (which was the former Growth Centres Commission, GCC).

o Minister means the Minister administering the TSC Act.

o Non-ce¡tified Area means an area marked as a non-certified area on a biodiversity certification map.

. Protection/P¡otected in relation to land means land that is protected by a land use zoning under an environmental planninginstrument or public ownership arrangements that provide for the protection of biodiversity values as a priority, or anotherarrangement that provides in perpetuity security for biodiversity on the subject land.

o Relevant Biodiversity Measures means the conditions in Schedule 1 of the Biodiversity Certification Order.

Retention of existing native vegetatíon during precinct planning

7 During the precinct planning process, the DoPl may determ¡ne tomake areas of existing native vegetation within the non-certifiedareas available for development if the clearance of such vegetation isconsidered necessary for either the provision of essentialinfrastructure and/or to meet the required Development Parametersspecified in the Growth Centres Development Code.

g ln making a determination under condition 7, the DoPl mustdemonstrate by way of information provided during the publicexhibition of the precinct plan (where that exhibition occurs after thisorder takes effect) that the clearing of any existing nativevegetation in the non-certified areas will be offset by:

(a) the protection of an equal or greater area of existing nat¡vevegetat¡on elsewhere in the Growth Centres; and/or

(b) the revegetation and/or restoration of an area of land elsewhere inthe Growth Centres, subject to satisfying the following,

(¡) that the clearance of existing nat¡ve vegetation in the non-certified areas will not affect the capacity to achieve overallimprovement or maintenance of biodiversity values forthreatened species, populations and ecological communitiesand their habitats,

(i¡) the revegetated and/or restored areas will be protected,

4.03ha of ENV on non-certified land will be removedas per the draft Precinct Plan(Figure'l and Figure 2 ofAnnex D) to enable

' development parameters tobe met and to allow foressential ¡nfrastructure.

Offsetting of the impactsdescribed for condition 7 willbe achieved by theprotect¡on of an equal orgreater area of ENV inaccordance with condition8(a) (as shown on Figure Iand Figure 2 of Annex D).

The area of non-certified ENV to beremoved will be more than offset bythe protection of a total of 116.62ha ofENV across the Precincts, 10.00hamore than is required by thebiodiversity certification order

The total area o'Í currently non-certified ENV proposed to be certifiedis 4.03ha. The total area of cunentlycertified ENV proposed to be non-certified is 22.48ha. The calculationsof protected ENV are based onground-truthed ENV (see RBM 13)and this explains differences in totalswhen compared to the amount of

' ENV required to be protected.

The offsetting of impacts on non-certified ENV is required to enable theefficient development of the Precincts,including the provision of essentialinfrastructure.

The 4.03ha of non-certified ENV to becleared throughout the Precinct willbe offset by the protection of anadditional 1Oha of ENV, above what isrequired under the draft ConservationPlan.

43.6 Ha of additional highconservation value vegetation.(AHCW) was identified in thePrecincts as part of the PrecinctPlanning investigations. 17.4 Ha o1

this is in non-certified lands.

Forthe purposes ofconditions 7,8,11 and 12, only the area of confirmedENV has been taken into account (asshown at Annex C). A total of 3.37haof ENV is in Kemps Creek NatureReserve (see Condition 12). Becausethe Precinct Plan does not apply tothis land and no impacts on thisvegetation are proposed, thisvegetation has been excluded fromcalculations of protected ENV in thisreport (as shown on Figure 1 ofAnnex G).

(b) it was considered during the preparation of the draft GrowthCentres Conservation Plan by the DoPl; and

(c) whether the SEPP, and related measures, provides adequateprotection for the species, population or ecological community

Based on the information provided in accordance with condition 36,and any other relevant matters, the OEH shall advise the Minister onwhether to formally review, maintain, modif,, suspend or revoke thebiodiversity certiflcation of the SEPP if the species, population orecological community is listed under the Act.

3. Gonclusion

This report has undertaken an assessment of the consistency of the Austral and Leppington North Precincts planning with thebiodiversity certification and the applicable relevant biodiversity measures.

It is concluded that the Austral and Leppington North Precincts planning is consistent with the biodiversity certification of the GrowthCentres SEPP, as follows:

' Under the final Precinct Plan 116.62ha of ENV will be protected within the Austral and Leppington North precincts and theinvestigation areas. This is approximately 10.00ha more than required under the Biodiversity Certi-fication Order to contribute tothe 2,000ha of ENV to be protected across the Growth Centres.

' ENV will be protected through a number of different zones under the draft Precinct Plan (refer to Figure 2 in Annex C), includingEnvironmental Conservation, Public Recreation, and lnfrastructure. The reasons for applying the proposed 2ones arediscussed further below.

' Development controls are proposed in the draft SEPP to prohibit the clearing of protected ENV as shown on the NativeVegetation Protection Map.

' The 2010 and 2012 (post-exhibition) ground truthing surveys recorded 101 .58 Ha of validated ENV in non-certified areas in thePrecincts. Only ground-truthed ENV has been included in the calculation of the total area of ENV to be protected. Figure 2 ofAnnex B shows the results of the groundtruthing.

Amendments to the boundaries of certified and non-certified land are proposed as shown at Annex E. The boundary amendments areproposed to reflect the outcomes of Precinct Planning, and to ensure the protection of ENV to maintain coñsistency with theCertification.

Land use zones have been selected based on advice from the OEH in relation to appropriate zoning of land containing ENV, and withconsideration of other land use planning factors, including the future ownership, acquisition and use õt lan¿ in accordanie with the draftPrecinct Plan and the EP&A Act. While the use of Environment Protection zones is preferred by OEH, in many cases it is not possible!o apply this zoning to land containing ENV because of restrictions on the ability of Council to acquire the land under section 94 of theEP&A Act. ln accordance with the hierarchy of land use zones preferred by CieH, land use zones have been applied to ENV that isproposed to be protected as follows:

o Where ENV to be protected is on land that is currently in Council or State Govemment ownership, the E2 EnvironmentalConservation zone has been used. The exception to this is Craik Park, in the centre of the Precincts, which is an existingCouncil reserve that contains a sports field and remnant ENV. The RE1 Public Recreation zone has been applied to this land toenable continued use of the sports fields.

o Where ENV to be protected is within large land holdings (and the area of ENV comprises only small part of the total area of landin the one ownership) the E2 zone has been applied. This land is not proposed io be acquired by a public authority, but the

4a


land owner may seek to dedicate the land to Council subject to Council agreement, and if this did occur, the ENV would beprotected by the combination of zoning and public ownership. Regardless, the application of the E2 zone to land that is toremain in private ownership is consistent with OEH requirements for protection of ENV.

o Within flood affected land along Kemps Creek and Bonds Creek, and adjacent to a number of other unnamed watercourses,existing rural properties that partly contain ENV are proposed to have a "split" zoning, with the land containing ENV zoned E2Environmental Conservation and the remainder of the property zoned for a purpose that enables some commercial return eitherthrough limited subdivision or construction of a dwelling, or continued agricultural production. Generally, where the existingrural lot is partly within and partly outside the 100 year ARI flood extent, the combination of E4 Environmental Living and E2 (forthe land that contains ENV) has been used. This approach also applies to a property on the eastern side of the Precincts atEighth Avenue, which contains patches of ENV that are linked to a large remnant to the north and east in land owned by theSydney Catchment Authority. This enables limited subdivision and construction of dwellings on relatively large lots consistentwith the flooding and vegetation constraints on the land. Where the existing rural lot is entirely affected by flooding (such asalong the northern parts of the Kemps Creek floodplain) the RU6 Rural Transition zone and E2 zone (for the land that containsENV) has been used. The Rural Transition zone will enable agricultural uses that do not cause significant amenity impacts fornearby residential areas. The ability to further subdivide this land is limited, with minimum lot size controls established to limitfurther subdivision of land that contains ENV. ln both these situations, the land that contains ENV is anticipated to remain in

private ownership.

. Where land that contains ENV is to be acquired as part of a larger acquisition for a public purpose (usually for public recreationor drainage) the RE1 Public Recreation and SP2 lnfrastructure (drainage zones) have been used. These approaches havegenerally been applied along the larger watercourses (eg. Bonds Creek and Scalabrini Creek) where the creek channel andmargins are to be acquired by Councilas part of the drainage networkorwhere ENV is located on land that is to be acquired forpublic parks and sporting fields (these are often located within floodprone land near the major creeks). Land in these zones willbe acquired by the relevant Council

These zones, in combination with the existing native vegetation provisions (refer to Figure 3 in Annex C) and the proposed certificationboundaries (refer to Annex E), will protect the ENV.

Appendix P

Threatened Aquatic Species

Likel¡hood of Occurrence


APPENDIX P

The table below presents a summary of the ecological characteristics of the threatened aquatic species identified as potentially occurring on

site and a subsequent likelihood of occurrence.

Given the altitude, presence of instream barriers,

modifications to the natural flow regimes and the

degraded state of the aquatic habitat the chance of

Macquarie perch occurring within the Study Area

is considered extremely low.

Macquarie perch is listed as endangered under the EPBC Act and as

vulnerable under the FM Act.

There are two distinct populations of Macquarie perch in NSW, a western

form found in the Murray-Darling Basin, and an eastern form found in south-

eastern coastal NSW, including the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment (DPl

2005). Macquarie perch have also been translocated into a number of river

systems. Macquarie perch usually inhabit the upper reaches of clear,

freshwater courses containing deep, rocky pools with upstream riffle and pool

sequences for spawning (DPl 2005). They migrate upstream to spawn in

October - November and their eggs settle and develop in the gravel and

cobble found in riffle habitat. The distribution of the eastern form can also be

a function of interactions with other species. For example, if Australian bass

are found in a watercourse then typically Macquarie perch will generally only

be found upstream of the bass population (McDowall 1996).

Macquarie perch is threatened by:

. Changes in water quality associated with agriculture and forestry;

. Modification of natural river flows and temperatures as a result of the

construction of dams and weirs;

. Spawning failures resulting from cold water releases from dams;

. Competition from introduced fish species;

APPENDIX P

It is extremely unlikely that Australian grayling

inhabit the Study Area. The Hawkesbury -Nepean drainage system represents the northern

extent of the grayling's historical distribution.

Despite cons¡derable sampling within the region,

the species has not been recorded from the

catchment since the 1950s (Morris ef a/. 2001). lt

is likely that river regulation and habitat

degradation are responsible for its disappearance

Diseases, such as epizootic haematopoietic necrosis, which is carried by

redfin perch; and

Over-fishing in the past.

Australian bass are relatively common within the lower elevation reaches ofthe Hawkesbury - Nepean system, the furthest downstream record ofMacquarie perch from the Nepean River, however, is from just belowPheasants Nests Weir (60 km south at 160 m AHD).

Australian grayling is listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Acf and as a

protected species by the FM AcL

Australian grayling (P. maraena) prefer watercourses with low turbidity and

gravel substrata, and occupy lowland rivers through to high elevation reaches

at 1000 m AHD (McDowall 1996). Grayling occur in streams and rivers on the

eastern and southern flanks of the Great Dividing Range from Sydney

southwards to the Otway Ranges in Victoria, and in Tasmania (McDowall

1996, DPr 2006).

The species has an amphidromous life cycle; newly-hatched larvae are photo

tactic and swim to the surface where they are swept downstream to

estuarine/marine waters. They only migrate back to adult freshwater habitats

at the age of 6 months. Populations are therefore very susceptible to barriers

to passage. Adults suffer heavy post-spawning mortality so it is possible

after a few years without juvenile recruitment, that local populations will

become extinct (Monis et a|.,2001).

Threats to Australian grayling include

APPENDIX P

The degraded aquatic and riparian habitat withinthe Study Area is unlikely to support a viablepopulation of southern barred frog.

The southern barred frog is listed as endangered by the EPBC AcL

The southern barred frog is a large, dark coloured frog that grows to 1 15 mm

Its historical distribution ranged from Belli Creek, south-east Queensland

south to Warrimoo, in NSW's Blue Mountains (DSEWPC 2010a). lt has

suffered severe population declines in the southern portion of its range in the

Sydney Basin and there are no recent records from the Blue Mountains.

There are no records of southern barred frog from the Study Area.

The Southern Barred Frog occurs along shallow rocky streams in rainforest,

wet sclerophyll forest and farmland riparian strips, between 100 and 1000m

or in deep, slow moving streams with steep banks in lowland areas

(DSEWPC 2010). Populations have been found in disturbed areas with

vegetated riparian strips on cattle farms and in regenerated logged areas.

Threats to the southern barred frog include:

. Upstream clearing;

. Changes to flow regimes;

Construction of weirs and dams, which prevent downstream and

upstream migration;

Land clearing that degrades water quality and causes siltation;

Smothering of gravel beds by fine sediment;

Competition from the introduced brown trout.

APPENDIX P

Potential habitat for this species occurs within the

Study Area, however it has been degraded

considerably. Mosquitofish were also highly

abundant at every site surveyed, and are known to

predate on this species. Although the possibility of

the green and golden bell frog occurring within the

Study Area is considered low, it is recommended

that appropriate targeted surveys be carried out as

a precautionary measure.

. Degradation of water quality;

. Disturbance to riparian vegetation;

. Feral animals and domestic stock; and

. Weed invasion.

Disturbance to riparian vegetation is particularly important and

chytridiomycosis (infection with the chytrid fungus) may also have contributed

to the decline of the species (DSEWPC 2010).

Regional degradation of water quality, riparian vegetation and aquatic habitat

has contributed to the disappearance of southern barred frog from the

southern section of its range.

The green and golden bellfrog is listed as vulnerable under lhe EPBC Act

and as endangered underthe TSC Act.

The green and golden bell frog ranges from 45 to 100 mm in length and has

olive to emerald green colouration with brassy brown to gold splotches. The

species is found mainly along coastal lowland areas of eastern NSW and

Victoria. lts distribution ranges from Yuraygir National Park near Grafton, in

northern NSW and south to Lakes Entrance in south-eastern Victoria. Since

1990, green and golden bellfrogs have been recorded at approximately 50

locations in NSW, including the metropolitan areas of NSW, including some

with disturbed habitats (DECC 2005a). There are no recorded populations

from the Study Area but the species is known from the Cumberland sub-

catchment of the Hawkesbury - Nepean Catchment Management Region

and the adjacent Sydney Metro Catchment Management Area.

The green and golden bellfrog inhabits marshes, dams and stream-sides,

particularly those containing bullrushes (Typha spp.) or spikerushes

(Eleocharis spp.). Optimum habitat includes water-bodies that are unshaded,

free of predatory fish such as mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrookî), have a

grassy area nearby and diurnal sheltering sites available. ln NSW, the

species commonly occupies disturbed habitats, and breeds largely in

ephemeral ponds

Major threats identified for the Green and Golden Bell Frog include (DEWHA

200e):

. habitat loss, fragmentation or degradation (including siltation, changes to

aquatic vegetation diversity or structure reducing shelter, increased light

and noise, grazing, mowing, fire);

. reduction in water quality (e.9. pollution, siltation and erosion);

. changes to hydrology (e.9. changes to drainage patterns or timing,

duration or frequency of flood events);

r predation by exotic animals (e.9. mosquitofish, cats and foxes);

. disease (e.9. infection with chytrid fungus resulting in chytridiomycosis);

and

. introduction or intensification of public access to Green and Golden Bell

Frog habitats.

Predation by Gambusia holbrooki (plague minnow)' has been listed as a key

APPENDIX P

The growling grass frog has not been recorded

from the Study Area, and indeed, the Study Area

appears to be outside the historical and existing

range of the species. The identification of this

species as potentially being present within the

Kemps Creek catchment by the DSEWPC

Environmental Reporting Tool may reflect an error

in the database. The growling grass frog is

considered unlikely to occur within the Study Area.

Giant burrowing frogs have not been observed in

threatening process on Schedule 3 of the TSC Act as it has been implicated

in the decline of a number of threatened Litorid frog species, including the

green and golden bell frog. Breeding and persistence of populations has

also been observed at locations where mosquitofish are present, suggesting

that certain site conditions may reduce the impact of their predation (White

and Pyke 2008).

The growling grass frog, also known as the southern bell frog in NSW, is

listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act and as vulnerable under the ISC

Act.

The growling grass frog is one of the largest frog species in Australia,

reaching up to 104 mm (DECC 2005b). lt was historically distributed across

a large area of south-east Australia, including NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and

South Australia. ln NSW, growling grass frog was once distributed along the

Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers and their tributaries, the southern slopes of

the Monaro district and the central southern tablelands as far north as

Tarana, near Bathurst. The species has experienced a pronounced decline in

NSW and is currently only known to exist in isolated populations in the

Coleambally lrrigation Area, the Lowbidgee floodplain and around Lake

Victoria. Adults are usually found close to or in water or very wet areas in

woodlands, shrublands, and open and disturbed areas. Eggs and tadpoles

are found in permanent lakes, swamps, dams, and lagoons with still water.

the Study Area and the nearest record is 15 km to

the west in the relatively undisturbed Gulguer

Nature Reserve and the Bents Basin Conservation

Area that borders the Nepean River. The Study

Area has been substantially modified for small-

scale agriculture and low-density residential

purposes, resulting in degraded aquatic and

riparian habitat and is potentially dominated by

clay-based soils. As such the likelihood of the

occurrence of giant burrowing frog within the Study

Area is considered low, either due to a lack of

suitable habitat or the highly modified nature of

their preferred habitat.

The giant burrowing frog is a large, powerfully-built species that grows to

approximately 10 cm in length. lt is confined to the eastern slopes of the

Great Dividing Range and coastal regions, and ranges from Wollemi National

Park in NSW, south to Walhalla in the central highlands of eastern Victoria

(DSEWPC 2010b). The species appears to exist as two distinct populations:

the northern population is confined largely to the sandstone geology of the

Sydney Basin and extends as far south as Ulladulla, and the southern

population occurring from north of Narooma through to Walhalla, Victoria

(DECC 2005c). The current taxonomy of this species is under investigation.

The giant burrowing frog has been found from near sea level up to 1000 m,

from the coast to almost 100 km inland. They are found in heath, woodland

and open dry sclerophyll forest on a variety of soil types except those that are

clay based (DECC 2005c). The frog spends 95 % of its time in burrows

below the soil surface or in the leaf litter, but immediately before or after

heavy rain move into nearby pools in first or second order streams to breed.

Threats to the giant burrowing frog include:

. habitat loss through clearing for residential, agricultural and urban

infrastructure development;

. reduction of water quality generally in the vicinity of urban development;

. climate change;

. disease (chytrid fungus);

vulnerable under the ISC Acf.(Heleioporusaustralicusl

It is considered unlikely that red-crowned toadlet

either absent or significantly degraded. The Study

Area contains relatively few distinct ridges and it

has a relatively low-gradient geography and the

geology is dominated by Wianamatta Shales (not

Sandstone formations). Moreover, the riparian

Neither tall knotweed, nor its commonly associated

plant species, were observed at any of the

proposed works sites during targeted surveys.

The likelihood of the occurrence of tall knotweed

within the Study Area is considered low due to a

lack of suitable habitat.

The red-crowned toadlet is listed as vulnerable under the ISC Act.

The red-crowned toadlet is a small frog, usually measuring less than 30 mm

long. The species is confined to the Sydney Basin, ranging from Pokolbin in

the north to the Nowra area in the south, and west to Mt Victoria in the Blue

Mountains (DECC 2005e).

Red-crowned toadlets are found under rocks and in dense vegetation or leaf

fragmentation of populations and consequent susceptibility to stochastic

events; and

forest disturbance associated with forestry operations.

Tall knotweed is listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act and as vulnerable

under the ISC Acf.

Tall knotweed grows on sandy, alluvial soil in swampy areas and riparian

herblands along watercourses and lake edges. Associated plant species

include Melaleuca linarifolia, M. quinquenervia, Pseudognaphalium

luteoalbum, Persicaria hydropiper and Floydia praealta. Knotweed has been

recorded in the North Coast, Central Coast, and South Coast botanical

subdivisions of NSW (DEWHA 2008a). There are two records of the species

from the Hawkesbury - Nepean drainage system and both are from the

upper parts of the catchment at Picton Lakes and the upper Avon River

catchment.

Major threats to tall knotweed include localised disturbance from clearing,

track maintenance and changes to hydrology (DECC 2005d).

litter beside ephemeral creeks and in wet drainage lines located below ridges

in open forests (usually on Hawkesbury and Narrabeen Sandstones). The

species is quite localised, as populations are restricted largely to the

immediate vicinity of suitable breeding habitat. Breeding congregations

occur in dense vegetation and debris beside ephemeralcreeks (DECC

2005e). The eggs are laid in moist leaf litter, from where they are washed by

heavy rain; a large proportion of the development of the tadpoles takes place

in the egg. Breeding of red-crowned toadlets has not been observed in

mildly polluted waters or those with a pH outside the range 5.5 to 6.5.

Outside of the breeding period they are found under rocks and logs on

sandstone ridges and forage amongst leaf-litter.

Threats to red-crowned toadlet include:

. climate change;

. clearing of habitat, particularly along ridges;

. reduction in water quality flowing from ridges, particularly near urban

areas;

. high frequency fire, resulting in changing vegetation structure and

composition;

. collection of bush rock; and

. disease (chytrid fungus).

The Sydney hawk dragonfly was not identified

from macroinvertebrate samples taken during the

current survey. Given previous dragonfly sampling

has failed to find specimens in the area and the

considerable local disturbance to waterways, it is

considered highly unlikely that the species occurs

in the Study Area.

Adam's emerald dragonfly has only been collected at four localities in NSW,

Historically the Sydney hawk dragonfly (Austrocordulia leonardi) was known

from only a few sites, one of which was the Nepean River at Maldon Bridge

near Wilton, which is located approximately 60 km south of the study area.

Numbers of the Sydney hawk dragonfly have declined at the Maldon Bridge

site, but it has since been recorded in the upper Hawkesbury-Nepean

catchment at O'Hares Creek.

This dragonfly spends most of its life as an aquatic larva, with adults

emerging from the water and living for only a few weeks or months. The

larvae appear to have specific habitat requirements and have been found

only under rocks in deep, cool, shady pools (DPl 2007b). This species is

threatened by:

. River regulation and changes in flows that cause the disappearance of

naturaldeep pools;

Habitat degradation associated with removal of riparian vegetation,

drainage works and sedimentation;

Water pollution and sedimentation due to land clearing, waste disposal

and stormwater runoff from urban, industrial and agricultural

development in the catchment; and

Chance events such as natural disasters (drought) that eliminate the

remaining local populations.

disturbance within the catchment, it is considered

extremely unlikely that Adam's emerald dragonfly

inhabits the Study Area or that suitable habitat for

them occurs in the Study Area. Protected Species

and Habitats

Stuttering Barred Frogs occur along the east coast of Australia from southern

Queensland to north-eastern Victoria. lt is thought to have disappeared from

Victoria and to have undergone considerable range contraction in NSW,

particularly in south-east NSW. lt is the only Mixophyes species that occurs

in south-east NSW and in recent surveys it has only been recorded at three

one of which was Bedford Creek in the Lower Blue Mountains. Bedford

Creek flows into Erskine Creek which eventually discharges into the Nepean

River downstream of the Warragamba River and Nepean River confluence.

The aquatic larvae of Adam's emerald dragonfly were found in small creeks

with gravel or sandy bottoms, in narrow, shaded riffle zones with moss and

rich riparian vegetation (DPl 2009). Adam's emerald dragonfly larvae live for

7 years or so and undergo various moults before metamorphosing into

adults. Adult dragonflies generally fly away from the water to mature before

returning to breed. Males congregate at breeding sites and often guard a

territory. Females probably lay their eggs into the water (DPl 2009).

Threats to this species include:

. Habitat degradation resulting from the loss of riparian vegetation and

drainage works;

Water pollution and siltation due to land clearing, waste disposal and

stormwater runoff from urban, industrial and agricultural development in

the catchment;

Chance events such as natural disasters.I

The species is typically found within rainforest, and wet, tall open forest on

the eastern side of the dividing range. As such they prefer thick lead litter and

dense understorey vegetation. Breeding occurs within streams with eggs laid

on rock shelves or riffles in small, flowing streams.

1. lntroduction

ln December 2011 the Federal Government endorsed the Sydney Growth Centres Strategic Assessment Program Report and inFebruary 2012 approved the classes of actions in the Growth Centres that if undertaken in accordance with the approved program donot require separate approval under the Environmental Prctection and Biodiversity Conse¡vation Act 1999 (EPBC Act)

The Program includes a range of commitments for matters of national environmental significance protected under the EPBC Act. Thecommitments are drawn from the analysis in the Supplementary Assessment Report and Draft Strategic Assessment Report (Part B),and build upon the Relevant Biodiversity Measures for the Growth Centres Biodiversity Certification.

This report has been prepared to assess of the consistency of proposed precinct plans with the commitments of the StrategicAssessment Program and to satisfy the evaluation and reporting requirements for the Program. Consistency with the StrategicAssessment Program is required to ensure proposals in the Growth Centres benefit from the Commonwealth approval.

This report has been prepared in a table format and addresses all commitments that are relevant to precinct planning. lt is noted thatsome of the commitments are not specific to precinct planning and have therefore not been included in the report.

The Strategic Assessment Prog ram can be viewed in fullat http://www.qrowthcentres.nsw.qov.au/strateqicassessment-94.html

Where the report indicates that precinct planning is inconsistent with the Biodiversity Certification or the Strategic AssessmentProgram, fulljustification for the inconsistency is provided as part of the ecological assessment for the precinct.

Both the Growth Centres Biodiversity Certification Relevant Biodiversity Measures and Strategic Assessment require a consistencyreport be prepared and publicly exhibited when the precinct plan is exhibited.

The draft Austral and Leppington North Precinct Plan was publicly exhibited from 26 October to 2 December 2011, prior to the SydneyGrowth Centres Strategic Assessment Program coming into effect. Therefore, a consistency report was not part of the publicexhibition. This report has been prepared since exhibition and is based on the final Precinct Plan (the final lndicative Layout Plan is atAnnex B).

3. Conclusion

This report has undertaken an assessment of the consistency of the Austral and Leppington North Precinct Plan with the StrategicAssessment and the applicable commitments.

It is concluded that the Austral and Leppington North Precinct Plan is consistent with the Strategic Assessment of the Growth CentresSEPP, as follows:

o 116.62 hectares of ENV will be protected by the Precinct Plan, 10 hectares more than is required under the BiodiversityCertification.

o 24.55 hectares of CPW ENV that is currently non-certified will be protected by the Precinct Plan.

o 3.17 hectares of non-certified CPW ENV is proposed to be cleared to enable efficient urban development of the Precincts and toensure that essential infrastructure can be constructed. To more than offset these impacts, 15.07 hectares of CPW ENV that iscurrently certified will be protected by the Precinct Plan and by amendments to the boundaries of certified and non-certified land.

. The total area of ENV (that is also Cumberland Plain Woodland as mapped under the Strategic Assessment Program) protectedby the Precinct Plan is 39.62 hectares. This is 17 .49 hectares more than the amount of CPW ENV (22.13 hectares) that iscurrently on non-certified land. The 39.62 hectares of CPW ENV will be protected by a combination of zoning, vegetation clearingcontrols and amendments to the boundaries of non-certified land. The proposed zoning of protected ENV is explained below.

. Amendments to the certification maps are proposed to ensure that all ENV that is protected by the Precinct Plan is also on non-certified land (see Annex E).

Land use zones have been selected based on advice from the OEH in relation to appropriate zoning of land containing ENV, and withconsideration of other land use planning factors, including the future ownership, acquisition and use of land in accordance with the draftPrecinct Plan and the EP&A Act. While the use of Environment Protection zones is preferred by OEH, in many cases it is not possibleto apply this zoning to land containing ENV because of restrictions on the ability of Council to acquire the land under section 94 of theEP&A Act. ln accordance with the hierarchy of land use zones preferred by OEH, land use zones have been applied to ENV that isproposed to be protected as follows:

o Where ENV to be protected is on land that is currently in Council or State Govemment ownership, the E2 EnvironmentalConservation zone has been used. The exception to this is Craik Park, in the centre of the Precincts, which is an existingCouncil reserve that contains a sports field and remnant ENV. The RE1 Public Recreation zone has been applied to this land toenable continued use of the sports fields.

o Where ENV to be protected is within large land holdings (and the area of ENV comprises only small part of the total area of landin the one ownership) the E2 zone has been applied. This land is not proposed to be acquired by a public authority, but theland owner may seek to dedicate the land to Council subject to Council agreement, and if this did occur, the ENV would be

15


protected by the combination of zoning and public ownership. Regardless, the application of the E2 zone to land that is toremain in private ownership is consistent with OEH requirements for protection of ENV.

Within flood affected land along Kemps Creek and Bonds Creek, and adjacent to a number of other unnamed watercourses,existing rural properties that partly contain ENV are proposed to have a "split" zoning, with the land containing ENV zoned E2Environmental Conservation and the remainder of the property zoned for a purpose that enables some commercial return eitherthrough limited subdivision or construction of a dwelling, or continued agricultural production. Generally, where the existingrural lot is partly within and partly outside the 100 yearARlflood extent, the combination of E4 Environmental Living and E2 (forthe land that contains ENV) has been used. This approach also applies to a property on the eastern side of the Precincts atEighth Avenue, which contains patches of ENV that are linked to a large remnant to the north and east in land owned by theSydney Catchment Authority. This enables limited subdivision and construction of dwellings on relatively large lots consistentwith the flooding and vegetation constraints on the land. Where the existing rural lot is entirely affected by flooding (such asalong the northern parts of the Kemps Creek floodplain) the RU6 Rural Transition zone and E2 zone (for the land that containsENV) has been used. The Rural Transition zone will enable agricultural uses that do not cause significant amenity impacts fornearby residential areas. The ability to further subdivide this land is limited, with minimum lot size controls established to limitfurther subdivision of land that contains ENV. ln both these situations, the land that contains ENV is anticipated to remain inprivate ownership.

Where land that contains ENV is to be acquired as part of a larger acquisition for a public purpose (usually for public recreationor drainage) the RE1 Public Recreation and SP2 lnfrastructure (drainage zones) have been used. These approaches havegenerally been applied along the larger watercourses (eg. Bonds Creek and Scalabrini Creek) where the creek channel andmargins are to be acquired by Council as part of the drainage network or where ENV is located on land that is to be acquired forpublic parks and sporting fields (these are often located within floodprone land near the major creeks). Land in these zones willbe acquired by the relevant Council.
