ATTACHMENT 2 ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY— ASSET OVERVIEW CONDITION OF TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS Business As Usual 10 Year Projected Comments Council is custodian of an extensive network of natural assets. This involves managing more than 11,000 ha of natural bushland, including two lakes and over 300 km of waterway. These assets make a significant contribution to our local tourism economy, as well as to community health and wellbeing. They are also a biodiversity storehouse, providing habitat and refuge to a wide range of unique, rare and threatened native species, supporting the Blue Mountains international reputation as a “must see” for nature tourism. Nature tourism is a growing market with strong potential to grow and expand the City’s existing natural assets are risks to biodiversity, the local economy, local jobs, and our future as a vibrant, sustainable City in a World Heritage area. Current 80% GOOD/FAIR CONDITION 72% in 10 yrs. with available funding Current 86% in 10 yrs. with additional SV funding 20% POOR CONDITION 28% in 10 yrs. with available funding Current 14% in 10 yrs. with additional SV funding Financial Strategies Implemented 10 Year Projected Confidence in Data: HIGH MODERATE LOW Loss of biodiversity Risks Compromised World Heritage status Loss of nature tourism values and associated reduction in visitation, and impacts on the local economy Land degradation, including erosion and sedimentation Increase in pest species and associated environmental, social and economic impacts Reduced water quality Response Continued investment in prioritised bush regeneration, weed control, and biodiversity recovery actions, focussing on Endangered Communities, threatened species habitat and priority catchments Continued investment in community based conservation such as Bushcare and Landcare Continued investment in riparian restoration in priority catchments and in degraded land stabilisation and restoration Enhanced investment in stormwater infrastructure to reduce the impact of stormwater on the natural environment Develop and implement management effectiveness strategies to ensure investment is targeted and successful in addressing risk 11
ATTACHMENT 2 ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY — ASSET OVERVIEW CONDITION OF AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS Business As Usual 10 Year Projected Comments Our UNESCO World Heritage Listing is dependent upon maintaining the water quality that flows into the surrounding World Heritage National Park. Similarly, maintaining a high quality of water flowing into Sydney’s water catchments is critical. The quality of our aquatic ecosystems underpins our biodiversity and the nature tourism and economic values this provides. Reduction in the quality of our aquatic ecosystems also has the potential for significant loss of community lifestyle, health and well-being. Current 85% GOOD/FAIR CONDITION 80% in 10 yrs. with available funding Current 90% in 10 yrs. with additional SV funding 15% POOR CONDITION 20% in 10 yrs. with available funding Current 10% in 10 yrs. with additional SV funding Financial Strategies Implemented 10 Year Projected Confidence in Data: HIGH MODERATE LOW 12 Risks Algal blooms and spread of noxious aquatic weeds Risk of waterborne disease to humans, livestock and pet Loss of aquatic biodiversity, and the biodiversity which depends upon it (most diverse aquatic systems in Sydney basin) Degraded water quality and related impacts on Sydney drinking water catchments, and World Heritage values Erosion and sedimentation Reduction of tourism income and community lifestyle, health and well-being, and recreation values Response Increased investment in the control of priority aquatic weeds and in upgrading stormwater treatment systems. Continue riparian restoration program and community advocacy and education to support Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and contaminant reduction. Continue Aquatic Ecosystem Monitoring Program. Continued advocacy and education with external stakeholders such as Sydney Water, RTA and industry to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff.
