To all those who sent me so much info bless each and
everyone of you, talk about a lightening speed info
overload geeez. I've got Eggy, Lee and Honkers jnr.
sat here with me and others as we pour through it all.
If all persons responsible for the creation of the BA
email list have not as yet been sainted? I ask why
not?
I've cut and pasted some data which I already know
will interest many.
John the key criteria is on page 8, which the
proponent has had to address & says will not be
affected:
WETLANDS OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE
An action has, will have or is likely to have a
significant impact on the ecological character of a
declared Ramsar wetland if it does, will, or is likely
to result in:
- areas of the wetland being destroyed or
substantially modified; or
- a substantial and measurable change in the
hydrological regime of the wetland; or
- the habitat or lifecycle of native species dependent
upon the wetland being seriously affected; or
- a substantial and measurable change in the
physico-chemical status of the wetland,; or
- an invasive species that is harmful to the
ecological character of the wetland being established
in the
wetland.
LISTED THREATENED SPECIES AND ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES
Extinct in the wild species
An action has, will have, or is likely to have a
significant impact on extinct in the wild species if
it does, will, or is likely to:
- adversely affect a captive or propagated population
or one recently introduced/reintroduced to the
wild; or
- interfere with the recovery of the species or its
reintroduction into the wild.
Critically endangered and endangered species
An action has, will have, or is likely to have a
significant impact on a critically endangered or
endangered species if it does, will, or is likely to:
- lead to a long-term decrease in the size of a
population; or
Matters of national environmental significance and
significance criteria
- reduce the area of occupancy of the species; or
- fragment an existing population into two or more
populations; or
- adversely affect habitat critical to the survival of
a species; or
- disrupt the breeding cycle of a population; or
- modify, destroy, remove, isolate or decrease the
availability or quality of habitat to the extent that
the
species is likely to decline; or
- result in invasive species that are harmful to a
critically endangered or endangered species becoming
established in the endangered or critically endangered
species? habitat; or
- interfere with the recovery of the species.
Vulnerable species
An action has, will have, or is likely to have a
significant impact on a vulnerable species if it does,
will,
or is likely to:
- lead to a long-term decrease in the size of an
important population of a species, or
Matters of national environmental significance and
significance criteria
- Reduce the area of occupancy of an important
population; or
- Fragment an existing important population into two
or more populations; or
- Adversely affect habitat critical to the survival of
a species; or
- Disrupt the breeding cycle of an important
population; or
- Modify, destroy, remove or isolate or decrease the
availability or quality of habitat to the extent that
the species is likely to decline; or
- Result in invasive species that are harmful to
vulnerable species becoming established in the
vulnerable species? habitat; or
- Interferes substantially with the recovery of the
species.
Critically endangered and endangered ecological
communities
An action has, will have, or is likely to have a
significant impact on a critically endangered or
endangered ecological community if it does, will, or
is likely to:
- lead to a long-term adverse affect on an ecological
community; or
- Reduce the extent of a community; or
- Fragment an occurrence of the community; or
- Adversely affect habitat critical to the survival of
an ecological community; or
- Modify or destroy abiotic (non-living) factors (such
as water, nutrients, or soil) necessary for the
community?s survival; or
- Result in invasive species that are harmful to the
critically endangered or endangered community
becoming established in an occurrence of the
community; or
- Interfere with the recovery of an ecological
community.
Matters of national environmental significance and
significance criteria
LISTED MIGRATORY SPECIES
An action has, will have, or is likely to have a
significant impact on a migratory species if it does,
will, or is likely to:
- Substantially modify (including by fragmenting,
altering fire regimes, altering nutrient cycles or
altering
hydrological cycles), destroy or isolate an area of
important habitat of the migratory species; or
- Result in invasive species that is harmful to the
migratory species becoming established in an area of
important habitat of the migratory species; or
- Seriously disrupt the lifecycle (breeding, feeding,
migration or resting behaviour) of an ecologically
significant proportion of the population of the
species.
