ASSESSING THE VALUES AND MANAGEMENT OF THE NSW TRAVELLING STOCK RESERVE 2.7.2.1 Rural Capability Rating Rural capability rating gives a broad indication of the intensity of rural use that can be sustained on the lease without causing land degradation. It is useful in this assessment process because: • It has a bearing on the catchment protection rating (the lower the rural capability, the higher will be the catchment protection rating); and • Because it gives a broad indication of the potential productivity of the reserve. The rural capability rating is based on the former Soil Conservation Service scheme (Emery 1985). The ratings vary from 1 for the highest capability land (best cropping land) to 8 for the lowest capability land (no active use). Rural capability maps at a scale of 1:100 000 have been prepared for the eastern and central division of NSW by DIPNR and these should be accessed where possible, but it is acceptable to derive a rating by direct application of the principles outlined in Table 4. 2.7.2.2 Soil Type Soil type is determined using the soil mapping available on GIS layers and the Department of Conservation and Land Management Soil Landscapes reports (Murphy 1993). Soil types for mapping units are defined using the Australian Soil Classification. 2.7.3 TSR Values The assessment of Travelling Stock Reserve values is based on data from the LHPAs (RLPB) (see checklist in Appendix D) and from other sources particularly the DECCW LHPA (RLPB) Ranger survey data (DECCW 2009). The TSR values assessed are: • Existence of and RLPB plan of management (note that all TSRs should have a plan of management) • Demand for use as a TSR – this was unknown at this stage due as it is dependent on the impending review by the LHPA (RLPB) • Rural infrastructure – presence and condition of fences (internal and boundary), gates, yards and water supply • Existing tenure, including notes on the purpose and term of the tenure, e.g., 12 month grazing permit • Carrying capacity 2.7.4 Landscape and Planning The planning context of the reserve is recorded including the LEP zoning and whether it is adjacent to: • Crown Estate • National Parks or wilderness areas • State Forest • Commonwealth Estate 2.7.5 Heritage The heritage values of an area are associated with its buildings, works, relics, features or places of historic, cultural, Aboriginal, scientific, social, archaeological, traditional, architectural, natural or aesthetic significance.

ASSESSING THE VALUES AND MANAGEMENT OF THE NSW TRAVELLING STOCK RESERVE The following heritage items and their significance were documented: • Buildings or structures and their fixtures or fittings (eg slab huts, houses, churches, Georgian or Victorian mansions and public/government buildings). • Aboriginal sacred sites, relics, graves, art sites, scarred trees, shell middens, etc • Places which may have historic, cultural or scientific interest. These may be gardens, cemeteries, village precincts or evidence of early settlement. • Works including structures and utilities (eg, bridges, roads, dams, mining works, drains, survey markings and evidence of early agricultural activity). • Relics including any deposit, object or material evidence relating to settlement prior to 1st January 1900, or such other dates as may be prescribed, not being Aboriginal settlement (see Heritage Act 1977). • Land and water resources that take in all aspects of the broader landscape and which are usually listed in various State or Federal heritage registers. These above heritage values were assessed using: • Statutory listing: o State Heritage Register / State Heritage Inventory o Local Council LEP o Aboriginal Heritage Information Management System (DECCW) o Australian Heritage Database • Check of non-statutory lists o National Trust Register o Royal Australian Institute of Architects • Existing documents, including studies and reports o RLPB records o University/agency studies o Local historical publications • Predictive modelling tools o E.g. Aboriginal sites decision support tool The heritage values were ranked based on Table 8. Table 8. Heritage significance. H1 Very High H2 High H3 Moderate H4 Low H5 Very Low Local Significance.
