ENVIRONMENT REPORT TO WORKS AND FACILITIES COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 14 NOVEMBER 2006 Page 36 W06/117 BENGELLO FOREST 05.9452/2 Legal There are numerous forms of legislation and policies at the international, national, state and local levels that require Council to consider biodiversity, Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) and threatened species and vegetation management. Council has obligations as one of the largest land managers in the area ensuring that the Bengello area is afforded a level of protection commensurate with its ecological value and Council’s financial capacities. Environmental This report proposes opportunities for contribution to biological diversity conservation by improving and certifying management and other activities occurring within the area. Recent investigations have established that a range of conservation options are available for Council to consider and additional research may be required to establish the best mechanism to support aspirations for the area. Essentially, Council can choose to: Option 1 - Enter into a Voluntary Conservation Agreement There are two main secure and reputable forms of covenant available: 1. Voluntary Conservation Agreement (VCA) This agreement is administered through the National Parks Act and signed off by the Minister for the Environment and Council – it is noted on the title of the property in perpetuity. Discussions with National Parks have indicated that they would be interested in investing in this proposal should Council wish to proceed with this option. Generally DEC/Parks covers the legal costs of establishing the agreement and assist with the facilitation of any community consultation sessions. A comprehensive property plan and management conditions are established jointly by the proponent (Council) and Parks. 2. Property Vegetation Plan (PVP) A PVP is administered through the Native Vegetation Act and signed off by the Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (SRCMA). This agreement is a legal commitment noted on the Section 149 Certificate relating to the property and there is an option to include a PVP notation on the certificate of title. The SRCMA has given a firm commitment that they are prepared to invest in the establishment of a PVP should Council wish to proceed with this action. Property plan and vegetation surveys are undertaken and general management conditions established through a PVP. The development of a management plan would be the responsibility of Council and community consultation is not a requirement of the agreement but would be desirable from Council’s perspective.
ENVIRONMENT REPORT TO WORKS AND FACILITIES COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY 14 NOVEMBER 2006 Page 37 W06/117 BENGELLO FOREST 05.9452/2 Option 2 - Maintain Current Status This option relies on the rezoning of part of the Bengello Forest to 7(f1) Environmental Protection (Coastal Lands Protection) to protect the values and integrity of the locality. The rezoning of the area does not address the issues relating to management and detrimental impacts on an endangered community and key landscape link, nor does it cover the critical portion of Council managed land west of George Bass Drive. Asset The Bengello Forest area is an extremely valuable environmental asset due to its location in the landscape and function as a wildlife corridor, its composition, condition and overall high biodiversity values. It is culturally, scientifically and aesthetically significant to a wide range of people. The Bengello Forests are situated adjacent to the airport entrance to the Shire and as such provide a valuable visual introduction to the Nature Coast. This proposal would serve to protect this visual asset and is not intended to affect any aspect of the present or future airport operations (as specified in the adopted Airport Concept Plan), or rezoned uses proposed on the northern end of the site. Social Impact The natural beauty and amenity of the Bengello Forest precinct ensures a high level of community interest and visitation. The area provides the local community with a range of ecological services and passive recreational activities that enhance the quality of life for individuals and groups. The area is also archaeologically and socially important to the Aboriginal community with known sites of significance concentrated in the area. Community Consultation Council has been approached by Coastwatchers and the Broulee Community Association (July 2005), who would like to see the area better managed, its environmental significance recognised and for it to be protected in line with the Bengello Bounty Report. Further community consultation via the Moruya Airport Structure Plan demonstrated support for the protection and maintenance of the environmental and aesthetic values of the Bengello Forests. More recent submissions on the Broulee Beaches Concept Plan and the Rural LEP (Amendment No.38) exhibited in mid-2005 show general support and encouragement from the community to protect the Bengello Forest area. Further community consultation would be anticipated for the conservation of the identified areas. Staff Investigations to date on management options for the Bengello Forest area have been undertaken through the Eurobodalla Biodiversity Program, in consultation with staff from the Strategic, Property, Works and Environment areas.
