Whole Cell
High conservation value
habitat for the Orangebellied
Parrot focal
species.
The CP has good
biodiversity and high
values for vegetation
patch size, shape and
connectivity. The
proximity of Nene
Valley and Blackfellows
Caves settlements
threatens conservation
values and limits
vegetation extent and
connectivity to other
patches.
Part of CP
inappropriately zoned
(Primary Industry).
Flow of stormwater to
coastal waters in peak
flows at Nene Valley and
Blackfellows Caves.
Rising sea level and
reducing groundwater
pressure threatens
conservation values,
notably within Nene
Valley Swamp.
Existing development,
land ownership and land
use threaten
conservation values of
the cell.
This cell presents a
complex pattern of
habitats subject to
change.
Protection of existing
habitat and efforts to
re-establish linkages
between remnants.
Revise park
management plan to
minimise impacts and
threats on flora and
fauna.
Educate adjacent
residents about park
values and their
threats.
Limit impact of
settlements.
Consider including
whole of park within
conservation or
coastal zone.
Continuation and
extend sustainable
practices in dealing
with run off.
Monitoring swamp
salinity levels.
Evaluate excluding
storm tide incursion
through sill
construction at outlet.
Restrict development
to nodes and minimise
impacts of existing
development and land
uses on adjacent
vegetation and the
coast.
Continue a rectified
aerial photographic
record at an
appropriate resolution,
in order to show
change from current
baseline.
