(3) What are the threatened species of plant life? (4) What is their status? (5) Does the management plan envisage limiting access to a specific number of people at any one time? (6) If so, what number? (7) What steps will be taken to minimise the impact of increasing recreation and to prevent the introduction and spread of non-native species? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) There are several threatened native fauna species on the islands. Specifically, the dibbler, Parantechinus apicalis , is a threatened species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and is listed as endangered under the commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Another is the Boullanger Island dunnart, Sminthopsis griseoventer boullangerensis , which is a threatened species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act. The Lancelin Island skink, Ctenotus lancelini , is a threatened species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and is listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act. The Australian sea lion, Neophoca cinerea , is a threatened species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and is listed as vulnerable and specially protected under the EPBC Act. (3)-(4) There are no known threatened native flora species on the islands. (5)-(6) No. If commercial tour operations are licensed for the islands, conditions may include limiting group size, trip frequency, time allowed on the island or islands, the time of year the island or islands can be visited and the collection of visitor surveys. (7) The increase in visitation and the associated impact on the islands’ values will be minimised through the management of access to the islands. The management plan allows three levels of access to the islands; limited access areas, prohibited areas and temporary control areas. Visitors will be limited to using the beach and intertidal zones. The Department of Conservation and Land Management will also consider defining pathways or installing boardwalks on 10 of the islands, designated for day use only. Access to the island or islands may be restricted at certain times of the year, such as the breeding season. The plan designates the remaining 30 islands as prohibited areas to protect breeding areas for seabirds and Australian sea lions.

The management plan allows three levels of access to the islands; limited access areas, prohibited areas and temporary control areas. Visitors will be limited to using the beach and intertidal zones. The Department of Conservation and Land Management will also consider defining pathways or installing boardwalks on 10 of the islands, designated for day use only. Access to the island or islands may be restricted at certain times of the year, such as the breeding season. The plan designates the remaining 30 islands as prohibited areas to protect breeding areas for seabirds and Australian sea lions.
(5) Does the management plan envisage limiting access to a specific number of people at any one time? (6) If so, what number? (7) What steps will be taken to minimise the impact of increasing recreation and to prevent the introduction and spread of non-native species? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH replied: I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) There are several threatened native fauna species on the islands. Specifically, the dibbler, Parantechinus apicalis , is a threatened species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and is listed as endangered under the commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Another is the Boullanger Island dunnart, Sminthopsis griseoventer boullangerensis , which is a threatened species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act. The Lancelin Island skink, Ctenotus lancelini , is a threatened species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and is listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act. The Australian sea lion, Neophoca cinerea , is a threatened species under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and is listed as vulnerable and specially protected under the EPBC Act. (3)-(4) There are no known threatened native flora species on the islands. (5)-(6) No. If commercial tour operations are licensed for the islands, conditions may include limiting group size, trip frequency, time allowed on the island or islands, the time of year the island or islands can be visited and the collection of visitor surveys. (7) The increase in visitation and the associated impact on the islands’ values will be minimised through the management of access to the islands.
