Tenement M70/138 Fauna Assessment
Introduction
Cockburn Cement propose to quarry limestone on tenement area M70/138, Hopkins Rd,
Nowergup. Landform Research, on behalf of Cockburn Cement, commissioned Western
Wildlife to undertake a fauna assessment of the proposed quarry area.
The aim of the fauna assessment was to characterise the fauna habitats available on the site,
prepare lists of vertebrate fauna expected to occur on the site, identify species of
conservation significance that may occur on the site, and make recommendations on fauna
management for the site.
Methods
This report is classified as a Level 1 survey (a background research or ‘desk-top’ study with a
site visit) according to the EPA Position Statement No.3 (Environmental Protection Authority
2002). This was the level of assessment commissioned by the client. The site was visited
th
briefly on the 15 September 2008 and the area surveyed on foot.
Personnel
Ms Jenny Wilcox of Western Wildlife (BSc.Biol./Env.Sci., Hons.Biol.) and Mr Richard King
(BSc.Env.Biol.) carried out the site visit. Ms Jenny Wilcox prepared the report.
Sources of Information
Lists of fauna expected to occur in the study area were produced using information from a
number of sources. These included publications that provide information on general patterns
of distribution of frogs (Tyler et al. 2000), reptiles (Storr et al. 1983, 1990, 1999 and 2002),
birds (Barrett et al. 2003; Johnstone and Storr 1998; Johnstone and Storr 2004), and
mammals (Menkhorst and Knight 2004; Van Dyck and Strahan 2008). In addition, the
databases listed below in Table 1 were searched for specimen or observational records.
These sources of information were used to create lists of species expected to occur in the
study area. As far as possible, expected species are those that are likely to utilise the study
area, or be affected by changes to the study area. The lists exclude species that have been
recorded in the general region as vagrants or for which suitable habitat is absent.
Taxonomy and nomenclature for fauna species used in this report generally follow the WA
Museum (2001) with alternative bird taxonomy from Christidis and Boles (1994) given in
parentheses.

Assessment of conservation significance
Three levels of conservation significance have been developed within this report to determine
the level of significance of certain species:
Conservation Significance 1 – is the highest level of conservation significance being used
to identify species that are protected under State or Commonwealth legislation.
The Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) is the
Commonwealth Government’s primary piece of environmental legislation. Listed under Part 3
of the EPBC Act are ‘matters of National Environmental Significance’ that include threatened
species and ecological communities and migratory species, among others. International
Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) categories are used to
categorise threatened species as ‘extinct’, ‘extinct in the wild’, ‘critically endangered’,
‘endangered’, ‘vulnerable’ and ‘conservation dependent’, with all categories except ‘extinct’
and ‘conservation dependent’ listed as matters of National Environmental Significance.
A list of migratory species is also maintained, containing mostly bird and marine species. The
migratory species listed are those recognised under China-Australia Migratory Bird
Agreement (CAMBA), the Japan-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement (JAMBA) or species
listed under the Bonn Convention for which Australia is a range state. Species listed in
JAMBA are also protected under Schedule 3 of the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation
Act 1950.
The Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 (WA Wildlife Conservation Act) is
State legislation for fauna protection administered by the Department of Environment and
Conservation (DEC). The WA Wildlife Conservation Act lists species under a set of
Schedules, where threatened species are listed as Schedule 1. Schedule 1 species are
further categorised by DEC into the categories ‘extinct’, ‘extinct in the wild’, ‘critically
endangered’, ‘endangered’, ‘vulnerable’ and ‘conservation dependent’ species. Specially
protected fauna are listed under Schedule 4. The schedules and categories are further
described in Appendix 1.
Western Wildlife

Conservation Significance 2 - Species not listed under State or Commonwealth Acts, but
listed in publications on threatened fauna or as Priority species by DEC.
Reports on the conservation status of most vertebrate fauna species have been produced by
the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEHWA) in the form of
Action Plans. An Action Plan is a review of the conservation status of a taxonomic group
against IUCN categories. Action Plans have been prepared for amphibians (Tyler 1998),
reptiles (Cogger et al. 1993), birds (Garnett and Crowley 2000), monotremes and marsupials
(Maxwell et al. 1996), rodents (Lee 1995) and bats (Duncan et al. 1999). These publications
also use categories similar to those used by the EPBC Act. The information presented in
some of the earlier Action Plans may be out of date due to changes since publication.
In Western Australia, DEC has also produced a list of Priority Fauna made up of species that
are not considered Threatened under the WA Wildlife Conservation Act, but for which DEC
feels there is cause for concern. Levels of Priority are described in Appendix 1.
Conservation Significance 3 - Species not listed under State or Commonwealth Acts or in
publications on threatened fauna or as Priority species by DEC, but considered of local
significance because of their pattern of distribution.
These are species considered to be of local significance in the study area because they are
at the limit of their distribution in the area, they have a very restricted range or they occur in
breeding colonies (e.g. some waterbirds). This level of significance has no legislative or
published recognition and is based on interpretation of information on the species patterns of
distribution. The Government of Western Australia (2000) used this sort of interpretation to
identify significant bird species in the Perth metropolitan area as part of Bush Forever.
Recognition of such species is consistent with the aim of preserving regional biodiversity.
Site description
This report covers tenement area M70/138, Hopkins Rd, Nowergup. The site is situated on a
limestone ridge, the lower areas overlain by sand. Two main habitats were present on the
site, as described below.
1. Limestone Closed Shrubland
This habitat made up the majority of the vegetation on the site, and is pictured in Plates 1 and
2. This vegetation type consists of a range of common shrubland species, including Dryandra
sessilis, Hakea trifurcata, and Xanthorrhoea preisii.
2. Banksia / Eucalypt woodland
This habitat made up only a very small part of the site and is pictured in Plate 3. This
vegetation type consists of Banksia attenuata, Banksia grandis, Corymbia calophylla (Marri)
and Eucalyptus marginata (Jarrah), over a low understorey of shrubs, including Xanthorrhoea
preisii.
Generally the vegetation on the site was in good condition.

Results
The amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals and fish that may occur on the site are listed in
Tables 2 - 5. In each Table, species recorded in the area by Western Wildlife during the fauna
survey, or by the WA Museum (all taxa), or by Birds Australia (birds only) are indicated. The
results of the database searches are given in Appendices 2 – 4.
Amphibians
There are five species of frog that have the potential to occur on the site (Table 2). No frogs
were recorded during the site visit and there are no wetlands on the site. However, there are
wetlands within 4km, Lake Nowergup and Carabooda Lake to the west and Neerabup Lake to
the southwest. The frog species listed in Table 2 are those that use terrestrial habitats in
addition to wetland habitats.
The Turtle Frog (Myobatrachus gouldii) inhabits sandy soil and has the potential to occur in
Banskia / Eucalypt woodland. This species is entirely terrestrial and does not require open
water for breeding. Other species of frog, such as the Moaning Frog (Heleioporus eyrei) and
Pobblebonk Frog (Limnodynastes dorsalis), may be found considerable distances from
wetlands. These species may breed in wetlands nearby and move into the site during the
non-breeding season.
There are no frogs of conservation significance expected to occur on the site, and no wetland
habitats are likely to be impacted by the quarry extensions.
Western Wildlife

Reptiles
There are 48 species of reptile that have the potential to occur on the site (Table 3). Most of
the reptiles listed in Table 3 are common and widespread in the southwest of Western
Australia, and many of them would occur in a variety of habitats. There are seven reptiles of
conservation significance that may occur in the study area, as described below.
Conservation Significance 1
Carpet Python
Morelia spilota imbricata
The south-west population of this python is listed as Schedule 4 (other specially
protected fauna) under the WA Wildlife Conservation Act, and as Priority 4 by DEC.
The Carpet Python is known to occur in Neerabup National Park (Government of Western
Australia 2000), where Bush et al. (1995) state it is moderately common. On the Swan
Coastal Plain, the Carpet Python favours areas of heath over limestone (Bush et al. 1995).
This species may be present on the site, so the quarry may result in some loss of habitat for
this species.
Black-striped Snake
This snake is listed as Priority 3 by DEC.
Neelaps calonotos
The Black-striped Snake is restricted to the coastal plain between Mandurah and Lancelin,
and as such is vulnerable to habitat loss due to urban developments (Bush et al. 1995). The
Black-striped Snake prefers sandy soils and occurs in Banksia / Eucalypt woodlands (Bush et
al. 1995). This species has been recorded from a range of nearby localities on DEC’s
Threatened and Priority Fauna Database (Appendix 3). Although this species may occur on
the site, most of the habitat present is unlikely to be suitable.
Speckled Stone Gecko
Wheatbelt Stone Gecko
White-spotted Ground Gecko
Black-tailed Tree Monitor
Yellow-faced Whipsnake
Diplodactylus polyophthalmus
Diplodactylus granariensis
Diplodactylus alboguttatus
Varanus tristis
Demansia psammophis
There are three geckos of conservation significance 3 listed above, all of which are
uncommon on the Swan Coastal Plain. All three species are known from the northern
suburbs of Perth, with records of the Spectacled Stone Gecko and Wheatbelt Stone Gecko
from Wanneroo (Bush et al. 1995).
The Black-tailed Monitor is uncommon on the Swan Coastal Plain, although it is moderately
common in the Darling Range (Bush et al. 1995). As a large reptile, this species is probably
restricted to larger remnants of native vegetation, and has been recorded at the Woodvale
Nature Reserve (Government of Western Australia 2000). The Yellow-faced Whipsnake is
also uncommon in the Perth area, and is not tolerant of disturbance (Bush et al. 1995) so is
probably only present in large areas of remnant vegetation. As the site is relatively small, it is
likely to only support a small number of individuals of large species such as the Black-tailed
Monitor or Yellow-faced Whipsnake.
Western Wildlife

Birds
There are 93 species of bird that have the potential to occur on the site, of which 13 were
observed during site visit (Table 4). Except for ducks that use tree hollows for breeding, water
birds have been excluded from the list. The list in Table 4 is extensive, however not all
species are likely to occur on the site, as the site is relatively small. It is difficult to say with
certainty which species will and will not occur on the site as they all occur in the general area.
The site has very few eucalypts, as it mainly consists of Limestone Closed Shrubland.
Therefore the site is not likely to be important for breeding sites for hollow-nesting birds.
There are 34 birds of conservation significance that have the potential to occur on the sites.
Each species is listed and discussed below.
Carnaby’s (Short-billed) Black-Cockatoo
Calyptorhynchus latirostris
This cockatoo is listed as Schedule 1 (Endangered) under the WA Wildlife Conservation
Act and as Endangered under the EPBC Act.
Peregrine Falcon
Falco peregrinus
This falcon is listed as Schedule 4 (other specially protected fauna) under the WA
Wildlife Conservation Act.
White-bellied Sea-Eagle
Haliaeetus leucogaster
This species is listed as migratory under the EPBC Act.
Rainbow Bee-eater
Merops ornatus
Fork-tailed Swift
Apus pacificus
Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo has declined due to loss of breeding habitat in the wheatbelt and
of non-breeding habitat along the west coast, mainly due to urban expansion. While small
areas of foraging habitat around the metropolitan area support only small numbers of birds for
short periods of time, the progressive loss of these small areas is an ongoing concern for this
species. Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo is likely to forage in both the Banksia / Eucalypt woodland
and in the Limestone Closed Shrubland, particularly on Dryandra sessilis and Hakea
trifurcata. During the site visit evidence of Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo foraging on Marri
immediately adjacent to the site was recorded. Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo has been
recorded breeding nearby at Yanchep National Park (Johnstone et al. 2005). Although
Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo may breed in the local area, no suitable hollow-bearing trees were
present on the site.
The Peregrine Falcon is a wide-ranging bird of prey that may be a visitor to the site, or may
use the site as part of a larger territory. The site would only be highly significant for this falcon
if they were breeding on the site. Evidence of breeding activity was not observed during the
site visit.
The White-bellied Sea-Eagle forages in coastal environments, and usually nests on off-shore
islands. However, it may also nest in tall trees inland from the coast. This species has been
recorded in the general area by Birds Australia, but will not forage on the site. While this
species may potentially nest in the area, it is relatively unlikely that it does so.
Western Wildlife
7
The Rainbow Bee-eater is a common summer visitor to Perth, where it breeds in sandy
banks. This species will forage and breed in relatively degraded areas, and may nest
alongside sandy tracks or easements. The Rainbow Bee-eater is likely to forage on both sites
and is likely to nest in the Banksia / Eucalypt woodland. The quarry development may
possibly result in some loss of habitat for this species. As the Rainbow Bee-eater is relatively
common, the quarry is unlikely to impact its conservation status in the area. However,
development should be timed to avoid disturbance to eggs and chicks in burrows when this
species breeds over summer.
The Fork-tailed Swift is a largely aerial species, and the ecology of this species in Western
Australia is poorly known. The effect of the development on this species is likely to be
negligible.
See 29 species indicated in Table 4.
The 29 species of conservation significance 3 indicated in Table 4 have no formal
conservation listing, but are listed in Bush Forever as species that are significant on the Swan
Coastal Plain (Government of Western Australia 2000). These species are mostly habitat
specialists that have a reduced distribution on the Swan Coastal Plain.
Three species of conservation significance 3 were recorded during the fauna survey; the
Splendid Fairy-wren, New Holland Honeyeater and Grey Shrike-Thrush. Although most of
these species are common outside of the Perth Metropolitan Area, their decline on the Swan
Coastal Plain may indicate that these species are particularly vulnerable to habitat loss and
fragmentation. Development of the sites will result in some loss of habitat for some of these
species.
Mammals
There are 22 species of mammal that have the potential to occur on the site (Table 5). As the
sites are continuous with surrounding native vegetation, most native mammals still extant on
the Swan Coastal Plain are likely to be present. Many of the native species likely to occur are
bats, which will roost in tree hollows and under loose bark on Banksias or Eucalypts. The
Brushtail Possum may also be present, and will shelter in larger tree hollows nearby.
There are six species of conservation significance that may occur on the study area, as
described below.
Quenda (Southern Brown Bandicoot)
The Quenda is listed as Priority 5 by DEC.
Isoodon obesulus
Western Brush Wallaby
This wallaby is listed as Priority 4 by DEC.
Macropus irma
Western False Pipistrelle
This bat is listed as Priority 4 by DEC.
Falsistrellus mackenziei
Western Wildlife
8
The Quenda favours areas with dense understorey, and is often particularly common in
dense wetland vegetation. The Quenda has been recorded from a range of nearby localities
on DEC’s Threatened and Priority Fauna Database (Appendix 3), and is likely to be present in
all habitats. The quarry development is likely to result in some loss of habitat for this species,
but is not likely to result in isolating Quenda populations.
The Brush Wallaby is likely to occur in areas of forest or woodland where there is a dense,
shrubby understorey. The Brush Wallaby has been recorded in Nowergup on DEC’s
Threatened and Priority Fauna Database (Appendix 3). This species is likely to be present on
both sites. The quarry development may result in some loss of habitat for this species.
The Western False Pipistrelle is a small insectivorous bat that inhabits forests and
woodlands, including Tuart forest, Jarrah forest and Banksia woodland. These bats roost in
groups in tree hollows (Churchill 1998). Although this bat may potentially forage and roost on
the site, the site is unlikely to be important habitat for this species. The quarry development
may result in some habitat loss for this species.
Honey Possum
Western Pygmy Possum
Bush Rat
Tarsipes rostratus
Cercartetus concinnus
Rattus fuscipes
Three mammal species have been listed as conservation significance 3; the Honey Possum,
Western Pygmy Possum and Bush Rat. While these species are relatively common and
widespread in the southwest of Western Australia, in the Perth metropolitan area they are
extremely uncommon and the Western Pygmy Possum and Bush Rat are likely to be locally
extinct.
The Honey Possum is a small marsupial that feeds on nectar and pollen, and occurs in areas
that provide sufficient flowers all year round including floristically diverse heath and Banksia
woodland. The Honey Possum has been recorded nearby from Neerabup National Park
(Government of Western Australia 2000), and this species is likely to be present on the site in
both Banksia / Eucalypt woodland and Limestone Closed Shrubland. The Honey Possum
moves in order to take advantage of seasonal availability of flowering plants, so is vulnerable
to the effects of habitat fragmentation.
The Western Pygmy Possum occurs in eucalypt woodlands, generally where there is dense
understorey but has been recorded from Banskia woodlands associated with wetlands (R.
Davis, pers. comm.).
Three other mammals are listed on DEC’s Threatened and Priority Fauna Database for the
area, the Black-flanked Rock-wallaby, Woylie and Chuditch (Appendix 3). These species are
locally extinct, so have not been discussed in this section.
Threatened Invertebrates
Although this report is primarily concerned with vertebrate species, six invertebrates of
conservation significance were listed on DEC’s Threatened and Priority Fauna Database for
the area (Appendix 3). Each species is listed and discussed below.
Western Wildlife
9
Crystal Cave Crangonictoid
Hyrleya sp. (WAM 642-97)
This crustacean is listed as Schedule 1 (Critically Endangered) under the WA Wildlife
Protection Act.
Graceful Sunmoth
Synemon gratiosa
This moth is listed as Schedule 1 (Endangered) under the WA Wildlife Protection Act.
The Crystal Cave Crangonictoid is known only from Crystal Cave in Yanchep National Park
(DEC’s Threatened and Priority Fauna Database). This species is threatened due to changes
to the hydrology of the area (DEC’s Threatened and Priority Fauna Database). Unless caves
are present, this species is not likely to occur on the site.
The Graceful Sunmoth is known from a few locations between Wanneroo and Mandurah
(DEC’s Threatened and Priority Fauna Database). This area coincides with high levels of
urban development, threatening its remaining habitat. The Graceful Sunmoth has been
recorded near to the study area, at Neerabup and Wanneroo (Appendix 3).
Cricket
This cricket is listed as Priority 3 by DEC.
Austrosaga spinifer
Native bee
The native bee is listed as Priority 3 by DEC.
Hylaeus globuliferus
Native bee
The native bee is listed as Priority 3 by DEC.
Leioproctus contrarius
Freshwater Mussel
This mussel is listed as Priority 4 by DEC.
Westralunio carteri
This cricket species is known from heath habitats from Perth to Cervantes, and has been
recorded near the sites at Neerabup National Park (Appendix 3). Given its habitat preference,
this species may potentially occur on the site.
The native bee Hylaeus globuliferus has also been recorded near the site at Neerabup
(Appendix 3). This native bee is thought to favour flowers of Adenanthos cygnorum for
feeding, but has also been recorded on Banksia attenuata (DEC’s Threatened and Priority
Fauna Database). As Banksia attenuata is present on the site, this species may be present.
The native bee Leioproctus contrarius is known from the area from an old record on DEC’s
Threatened and Priority Fauna Database (Appendix 3). This species appears to be
dependent on flowers of Goodeniaceae and possibly Leschenautia stenosepala, and recent
surveys have found that this species may be more widespread than previously thought
(DEC’s Threatened and Priority Fauna Database). If species of Goodeniaceae are present on
the site this native bee may also be present.
The freshwater mussel Westralunio carteri is known from fossil material from Nowergup, and
is a species endemic to Western Australia (Appendix 3, DEC’s Threatened and Priority Fauna
Database). This species will not be present on the site, as it inhabits river pools.
Western Wildlife

Summary and recommendations
The site has two main habitats for fauna; Banksia / Eucalypt woodland and Limestone Closed
Shrubland, with the majority of the site consisting of Limestone Closed Shrubland. These
habitats are generally in good condition and likely to support a relatively intact community of
native fauna species, as listed in Tables 2-5. This includes up to five species of amphibian, 48
species of reptile, 92 species of bird and 22 species of mammal. Thirteen species of bird
were recorded during the site visit.
The site has the potential to support six species of Conservation Significance 1; the Carpet
Python, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo, Peregrine Falcon, Rainbow Bee-eater, Fork-tailed Swift
and White-bellied Sea-Eagle. Of these, Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo was recorded during the
site visit, and is likely to forage on the site. The Carpet Python is likely to be present,
particularly in the Limestone Closed Shrubland, and the Rainbow Bee-eater is likely to forage
in the area and may breed in the Banksia / Eucalypt woodland. The sites are only likely to be
significant for the Peregrine Falcon and White-bellied Sea-Eagle if these species were found
to be nesting.
The site has the potential to support four species of Conservation Significance 2; the Blackstriped Snake, Quenda (Southern Brown Bandicoot), Western Brush Wallaby and Western
False Pipistrelle. All of these species are likely to occur on the sites, but the Limestone
Closed Shrubland is not likely to be important for the Black-striped Snake or Western False
Pipistrelle.
The quarry development will result in the loss of a large part of the site’s fauna habitats,
although not all bushland on each site is to be cleared. Although the sites have some linkage
functions, the quarry extensions are not likely to isolate other local areas of native vegetation.
In order to maintain or enhance some of the fauna values of the site, the following are
recommended.
•
The area of native vegetation to be cleared is minimised as much as possible and
disturbance to surrounding areas of native vegetation minimised during development.
•
Any hollow logs or trees removed during development could be placed in some
surrounding areas of woodland to enhance the fauna habitats available.
•
Appropriate re-vegetation of the site should be undertaken after mining has finished. This
should include plant species currently present on the sites, particularly those that provide
food for Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo.

Appendix 1. Categories used in the assessment of conservation status.
Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act and/or the WA
Wildlife Conservation Act
Schedule 1: Fauna that are rare or likely to become extinct.
Schedule 2: Fauna presumed to be extinct.
Schedule 3: Migratory birds that are listed under JAMBA.
Schedule 4: Other specially protected fauna.
Extinct: Taxa not definitely located in the wild during the past 50 years.
Extinct in the wild: Taxa known to survive only in captivity.
Critically Endangered: Taxa facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the
immediate future.
Endangered: Taxa facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future.
Vulnerable: Taxa facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future.
Near Threatened: Taxa that risk becoming Vulnerable in the wild.
Conservation Dependent: Taxa whose survival depends upon ongoing conservation
measures. Without these measures, a conservation dependent taxon would be classed as
Vulnerable or more severely threatened.
Data Deficient: Taxa suspected of being Rare, Vulnerable or Endangered, but whose true
status cannot be determined without more information.
Least Concern: Taxa that are not Threatened.
WA Department of Environment and Conservation Priority species (species not listed
under the Conservation Act, but for which there is some concern).
Priority 1: Taxa with few, poorly known populations on threatened lands.
Taxa which are known from few specimens or sight records from one or a few localities on
lands not managed for conservation, e.g. agricultural or pastoral lands, urban areas, active
mineral leases. The taxon needs urgent survey and evaluation of conservation status before
consideration can be given to declaration as threatened fauna.
Priority 2: Taxa with few, poorly known populations on conservation lands.
Taxa which are known from few specimens or sight records from one or a few localities on
lands not under immediate threat of habitat destruction or degradation, e.g. national parks,
conservation parks, nature reserves, State forest, vacant Crown land, water reserves, etc.
The taxon needs urgent survey and evaluation of conservation status before consideration
can be given to declaration as threatened fauna.
Priority 3: Taxa with several, poorly known populations, some on conservation lands.
Taxa which are known from few specimens or sight records from several localities, some of
which are on lands not under immediate threat of habitat destruction or degradation. The
taxon needs urgent survey and evaluation of conservation status before consideration can be
given to declaration as threatened fauna.
Priority 4: Taxa in need of monitoring.
Taxa which are considered to have been adequately surveyed, or for which sufficient
knowledge is available, and which are considered not currently threatened or in need of
special protection, but could be if present circumstances change. These taxa are usually
represented on conservation lands.
Priority 5: Taxa in need of monitoring.
Taxa which are not considered threatened but are subject to a specific conservation program,
the cessation of which would result in the species becoming threatened within five years.
