BYRON FLORA AND FAUNA STUDY, 1999 Threatened flora species Arrow-head vine Hairy Quandong – one of two recorded locations in the study area Red Boppel Nut Red Lilly Pilly Rough-shelled Bush Nut Rusty Rose Walnut Threatened fauna species Pouched Frog Bush-hen Wompoo Fruit-dove Superb Fruit-dove – four recorded locations in the study area Rose-crowned Fruit-dove Sooty Owl Masked Owl – five recorded locations in the study area Alberts Lyrebird White-eared Monarch Common Planigale Koala Common Blossom-bat 28. BEATTIES CREEK Beatties Creek contained a high diversity of vegetation associations. Brush Box forest and wet to moist sclerophyll forest were found on the lower hill slopes with subtropical rainforest occurring in the gullies and other sheltered areas. Dry sclerophyll forest was found on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Riparian rainforest fringes the creek. Beatties Creek contained areas of old growth eucalypt forest, important habitat for hollow-dependent Threatened fauna species such as the Sooty Owl. Nine Koala locations were recorded for this area (Table 8.1). The area has been identified as containing core native vegetation (Table 8.1). Threatened flora species Red Boppel Nut Rough-shelled Bush Nut Threatened fauna species Glossy Black-cockatoo Sooty Owl Koala – high number Common Bentwing-bat Eastern Tube-nosed Bat – eight recorded locations in the study area Black Flying-fox Little Bentwing-bat 29. GOONENGERRY-WILSONS CREEK Goonengerry-Wilsons Creek contained a high diversity of vegetation associations (Map 3). Brush Box forest and wet to moist sclerophyll forest were found on the hill slopes with subtropical rainforest occurring in the gullies and other sheltered areas. Dry sclerophyll forest occurs on the upper slopes and in exposed situations. Riparian rainforest fringes the creek. Goonengerry-Wilsons Creek contained areas of old growth eucalypt forest, important habitat for hollow-dependent Threatened fauna species such as the Sooty Owl (Map 5). The area has been identified as containing core native vegetation (Table 8.1). Only limited surveys were undertaken during the current study. Further surveys in this area are likely to result in additional Threatened flora and fauna species records. Threatened flora species Durobby Red Boppel Nut Red Lilly Pilly Rough-shelled Bush Nut Rusty Rose Walnut Thorny Pea Threatened fauna species Wompoo Fruit-dove Koala Black Flying-fox Little Bentwing-bat Common Bentwing-bat 30. TYAGARAH Tyagarah contained a high diversity of vegetation associations (Map 3) including rainforest, wet to moist sclerophyll forest, swamp sclerophyll forest and dry sclerophyll shrubland. Riparian rainforest fringes the 241
A GREENPRINT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE creek. Tyagarah contained areas of old growth eucalypt forest, important habitat for hollow-dependent Threatened fauna species (Map 5). The area was identified as an integral part of a coastal vegetation corridor and contains core native vegetation (Table 8.1). Threatened flora species Arrow-head vine Durobby Red Lilly Pilly Threatened fauna species Wallum Tree Frog Brolga– three recorded locations in the study area Common Planigale Koala Yellow-bellied Sheathtail-bat – three recorded locations in the study area Little Bentwing-bat Large-footed Myotis Greater Broad-nosed Bat 31. FEDERAL Federal contained highly significant although fragmented areas of remnant and regrowth rainforest including several Big Scrub remnants (Table 8.1, Map 3). Other rainforest remnants have been located during the survey adding to the value of this area. Remnant rainforest vegetation supports a number of Threatened flora and fauna species (see list below). Rehabilitation, enlargement of remnant areas and reconnection between remnants is recommended (Section 7). Fencing and rehabilitation of riparian areas should also be encouraged. The low number of Threatened flora species records reflects low survey intensity in the area. Federal area contained potential habitat for a number of Threatened species. Threatened flora species Durobby Threatened fauna species Osprey Bush-hen Wompoo Fruit-dove Rose-crowned Fruit-dove Glossy Black-cockatoo White-eared Monarch Common Planigale Koala Common Blossom-bat Eastern Tube-nosed Bat – eight recorded locations in the study area Black Flying-fox Common Bentwing-bat Eastern Long-eared Bat 32. COORABELL Coorabell contained highly significant although fragmented areas of remnant and regrowth rainforest (Table 8.1, Map 3). Remnant rainforest vegetation supports a number of Threatened flora and fauna species. Rehabilitation, enlargement of remnant areas and reconnection between remnants is recommended (Section 7). The low number of flora species records reflects low survey intensity in the area. Federal area contained potential habitat for a number of Threatened species. 242 Threatened flora species Durobby Threatened fauna species Wompoo Fruit-dove Rose-crowned Fruit-dove White-eared Monarch
