the last 5 years. Sightings have been taken from DEC records, PBP / Birds Australia surveys and surveys undertaken by Friends Groups. Table 6: Threatened Fauna Species or their habitat listed under the EPBC Act 1999 or the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 likely or known to occur in the Shire of Kalamunda (Information provided by the Department of Environment and Water Resources, the Department of Environment and Conservation, PBP and Birds Australia and Friends of Crumpet Creek) Threatened Fauna Species EPBC Act Status Wildlife Conservation Act Schedule Presence Threatened Species - Birds Calyptorhynchus baudinii (Baudin’s Cockatoo) Vulnerable Schedule 1 Species or species habitat known to occur within area.

These factors were therefore taken into consideration during the development of the rare fauna target which is detailed in Box 5. Local Biodiversity Strategy Page 36
Box 5: Proposed Target for Threatened and Specially Protected Fauna (Federal & State) Retain and protect natural areas containing viable populations of Threatened and Specially Protected Fauna and/or significant habitat for these fauna, where there is sufficient natural area remaining also protect a buffer to the natural area containing the Threatened and Specially Protected Fauna or their habitat. Where practicable, enhance these natural areas to maintain and improve biodiversity values. *Threatened species are those protected under the EPBC Act 1999 Note: This target has been slightly adapted from the target drafted by the Steering Group in order to recognise the species known to occur in the Shire, protected under the EPBC Act 1999 but not the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950. Further information regarding the EPBC Act 1999 and the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 can be found at www.environment.gov.au/epbc/index.html and www.slp.wa.gov.au. 8.1.4 Priority Species Priority species refer to flora and fauna species which are not protected by legislation but which are recognised by the State Government as being rare or as requiring further surveys to determine rarity status. With regards to flora, there are many species that are known from only a few collections, or a few sites. Such flora may be rare or threatened, but cannot be considered for declaration as rare flora until such survey has been undertaken. There are three categories of priority flora covering these poorly known species. The categories are arranged to give an indication of the priority for undertaking further surveys based on the number of known sites, and the degree of threat to those populations. Priority one flora species are taxa which are known from one or a few (generally less than 5) populations which are under threat, either due to small population size, or being on lands under immediate threat. Priority two flora species are taxa which are known from one or a few (generally less than 5) where at least some are not believed to be under immediate threat. Priority three flora species are taxa known from several populations and where the taxa are not believed to be under threat, either due to the number of known populations (generally greater than 5), or known populations being large, and either widespread or protected. Priority four flora species are taxa that have been adequately surveyed and are considered to be rare but not currently threatened. Local Biodiversity Strategy Page 37
