An update for those people interested in the impact that Noisy Miners are
having on our woodland birds. I am advising of a legislative development
that occurred yesterday (5 July).
The following item has now been formally added (as a 'Potentially
Threatening Process') to the Schedules of the Victorian Flora and Fauna
Guarantee Act. This now means that an Action Statement (in effect a
management plan) must now be compiled to address this threat in Victoria.
‘Reduction in biodiversity resulting from Noisy Miner (Manorina
melanocephala) populations in Victoria’
The listing can be found in the Victorian Government Gazette 5 July 2012
edition (page 1494) via the following website:
http://www.gazette.vic.gov.au/gazette/Gazettes2012/GG2012G027.pdf
For those people who have not already obtained a copy of the Scientific
Advisory Committee Final Recommendation Report which preceded this
listing, feel free to contact me for a copy.
cheers, Martin
