QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Gnangara water mound. (1) How many declared rare and priority flora or other threatened species and threatened ecological communities are located on the Gnangara ground water mound? Will the minister table a list of these? (2) Of the threatened species and ecological communities, how many have had recovery plans prepared for them? How many of those plans have identified low ground water levels as a threat? (3) Did the State Government consider the recommendations of these recovery plans before it entered into an agreement with Wesbeam Pty Ltd and decided to pass the Wood Processing (WESFI) Agreement Act in 2000? Hon TOM STEPHENS
AnswerView source ↗
The Minister for the Environment and Heritage provided the following response - (1) There are 11 taxa of flora and two of fauna listed as rare or likely to become extinct under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950, and there are 11 threatened ecological communities on the state list approved by the Minister for the Environment and Heritage that are on or near the Gnangara mound. In addition, a further 29 species of priority flora live on or near the Gnangara mound. I seek leave to table the details of the threatened and priority flora and ecological communities in the attached note. Leave granted. [See paper No 948.] Hon TOM STEPHENS: The two taxa of threatened fauna are the crystal cave crangonyctoid - Hurleya species, WAM642-97 - and the western swamp tortoise - Pseudemydura umbrina . Hon Peter Foss interjected. The PRESIDENT: I am sure Hansard got that! Hon TOM STEPHENS: It is not a word that I came across in ecclesiastical Latin. To continue - (2) Four of the threatened flora and fauna and seven of the 11 threatened ecological communities are covered by interim recovery plans. One of the threatened fauna is covered by a full recovery plan, which refers to declining ground water as a potential threat. Four of the interim recovery plans for threatened ecological communities and one for threatened flora refer to declining ground water as a threat or potential threat. None of the 29 priority species is covered by recovery plans. In general, too little is known about these taxa to comment on the likelihood of them being at risk to declining water levels. The priority status of these species relates to the need to conduct further investigations to determine their actual conservation status. (3) Yes.
