Conservation Plan Hughes Creek Landscape Zone - Strathbogie ...

All Key
Biodiversity sites
Trends in vegetation condition (resurvey the 100 sites using VQA assessments)
(this includes threats data)
Trends in bird survey data (resurvey the 100 sites using bird survey method)
Vegetation Quality Assessments, bird surveys and photographic point surveys at
the remaining unsurveyed BAP sites
Inclusion and surveying of up to date data and information (if any changes), or
addition of sites (eg. if not already an identified site)
Trends in Focal Species reporting/sightings (eg. population size, age distribution,
frequency of records, number of birds/pairs recorded, habitat (eg number of
sites/EVC), breeding success, recruitment)
Monitoring of threatened species, against current records
Undertake surveys for all of listed (threatened) species to establish baseline data
on abundance and distribution in accordance with VROTPop procedures
Subsequent assessments of selected populations (as per above threatened
populations) to determine population trends
Trends in connectivity and characteristics of sites within landscape (eg. size of
remnants)
Overlay of on-ground works areas against this plans mapping data to determine
the number of incentives processed and implemented for priority sites for all Key
Biodiversity Assets (private land only)
Trends in plants of special concern (eg. undertake monitoring of River Swamp
Wallaby-grass in the zone to further determine management requirements)
Every 5 years - 30 sites
Every 5 years 30 sites
Within next 5 years, to allow monitoring of
these sites (as outlined above)
Once yearly, all new information;; all sites
Initial survey throughout zone to establish
baseline data on population size and structure,
subsequent two-yearly as part of bioregional
program: across the zone
Every 2 years: across the zone
Within next 5 years: across the zone
Within next 5 years (subsequent to above
action): across the zone
Every 5 years;; aerial photography
Once yearly, in accordance with incentive
mapping and overlaying of on-ground works
areas (as per above action)
Once;; then as required
