Abstract

Landmark Ecological Services Pty Ltd (Landmark) was engaged by Minyumai Land Holding Company Ltd in July 2010 to undertake vegetation, flora and fauna surveys and assessments at Minyumai. The surveys and assessments were to provide background for a management plan designed to inform the Federal Government’s Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs) unit in their consideration of Minyumai’s application to become an IPA and to guide the appropriate biodiversity conservation management of Minyumai for the next five years. The primary objectives of the flora and fauna survey and conservation assessment of the Minyumai property were to map vegetation types from air photo interpretation (API) with groundtruthing compile an inventory of flora species and vertebrate species targeting conservation-priority species, assess the potential habitat value of the property for other EPBC Act and TSC Act-listed species known to occur in the region as well as migratory fauna species and assess the overall significance of the property for vegetation, flora and vertebrate fauna conservation making preliminary recommendations for management of the property’s vegetation, flora species and vertebrate fauna habitats.

Minyumai is a 2141.51 ha rural property located about 8 km southwest of Evans Head on the NSW north coast. The property encompasses Lots 2,4,5,7,8,9 - Parish of Esk and Lots 32,33,34, 35, 36,37,51,78,79,85,86,90 - Parish of Evans. The property has a maximum dimension of about 8 km along a northeast-southwest axis and is 2-3 km wide. The south eastern boundary lies about 3 km from the sea and abuts Bundjalung National Park. The Park also forms the property’s southern boundary. Tabbimoble Swamp Nature Reserve lies to the west, and shares a short section of common boundary with Minyumai, while private properties adjoin to the west and north.

Lineage

Vegetation mapping was conducted through a program of air photo interpretation and ground truthing (Aug 2010 – Feb 2011). Colour aerial photographs (2009) were examined to determine the nature and extent of the vegetation communities present in the study area. Polygons were drawn over the air photos to include reasonably homogenous areas of vegetation and were assigned to vegetation communities. Existing vegetation mapping (CRAFTI) was used for reference. Where relevant, CRAFTI Forest Ecosystem vegetation categories were employed; otherwise site-appropriate categories were developed based on canopy dominants. Ground truthing was undertaken to confirm (or modify) the mapped vegetation types, to document their structure and floristics in more detail, and to illustrate the range of variation within and between the polygons. Site selection was based on an ideal of representative sampling of vegetation types, but was necessarily restricted in scope by access and other practicalities, including time and resource constraints.

In addition to detailed ground-truthing site data, opportunistic observations of vegetation types were documented during traverses of the property. Site data from background information sources (McLachlan 1995) and contributed by Dr Tein McDonald during the survey period, were incorporated into the data set.
