Page 1 s05-452-04.p01 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 137 4 November 2005 LEGISLATION 9315 THREATENED SPECIES CONSERVATION ACT 1995 Final Determination THE Scientific Committee, established by the Threatened Species Conservation Act, has made a Final Determination to list Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions as an ENDANGERED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY in Part 3 of Schedule 1 of the Act. Listing of endangered ecological communities is provided for by Part 2 of the Act. The Scientific Committee has found that: 1. Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is the name given to the ecological community associated with coastal sand plains of marine or aeolian origin. It occurs on deep, freely draining to damp sandy soils on flat to moderate slopes within a few kilometres of the sea and at altitudes below 100 m. Bangalay Sand Forest is characterised by the assemblage of species listed in paragraph 2 and typically comprises a relatively dense or open tree canopy, an understorey of mesophyllous or sclerophyllous small trees and shrubs, and a variable groundcover dominated by sedges, grasses or ferns. 2. Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is characterised by the following assemblage of species: Acacia longifolia Acacia sophorae Acmena smithii Allocasuarina littoralis Astroloma pinifolium Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia Banksia serrata Billardiera scandens Breynia oblongifolia Cassytha pubescens Carex longebrachiata Casuarina glauca Commelina cyanea Desmodium gunnii Dianella caerulea Dianella crinoides var. caerulea Dichondra repens Echinopogon ovatus Entolasia marginata Eucalyptus botryoides Eucalyptus pilularis Geranium potentilloides Glycine clandestina Gonocarpus teucrioides Hardenberia violacea Hibbertia scandens Imperata cylindrica Isolepis nodosa var. major Kennedia rubicunda Lagenifera stipitata Lepidosperma concavum Leptospermum laevigatum Lomandra longifolia Marsdenia rostrata Microlaena stipoides Monotoca elliptica var. stipoides Notelaea longifolia Oplismenus imbecillus Parsonsia straminea Pittosporum revolutum Pittosporum undulatum Pratia purpurascens Pteridium esculentum Ricinocarpus pinifolius Rubus parvifolius Solanum pungentium Stephania japonica Stellaria flaccida var. discolor Themeda australis Viola hederacea 3. The total species list of the community is larger than that given above, with many species present only in one or two sites, or in low abundance. The species composition of a site will be influenced by the size of the site, recent rainfall or drought conditions and by its disturbance (including grazing, land clearing and fire) history. The number and relative abundance of species will change with time since fire, and may also change in response to changes in fire frequency or grazing regime. At any one time, above-ground individuals of some species may be absent, but the species may be represented below ground in the soil seed banks or as dormant structures such as bulbs, corms, rhizomes, rootstocks or lignotubers. The list of species given above is mainly of vascular plant species, however the community also includes micro-organisms, fungi, cryptogamic plants and a diverse fauna, both vertebrate and invertebrate. These components of the community are poorly documented. 4. Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions typically has a dense to open tree canopy, approximately 5–20 m tall, depending on exposure and disturbance history. The most common tree species include Eucalyptus botryoides (Bangalay) and Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia (Coast Banksia), while Eucalyptus pilularis (Blackbutt) and Acmena smithii (Lilly Pilly) may occur in more sheltered situations, and Casuarina glauca (Swamp Oak) may occur on dunes exposed to salt-bearing sea breezes or where Bangalay Sand Forest adjoins Swamp Oak Floodplain Forest of the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions, as listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The open shrub stratum may be dominated by sclerophyllous species, such as Banksia serrata (Old Man Banksia), Leptospermum laevigatum (Coast Teatree) and Monotoca elliptica, or mesophyllous, species, such as Breynia oblongifolia (Coffee Bush) and Pittosporum undulatum (Sweet Pittosporum), NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 137 9316 LEGISLATION 4 November 2005 or a combination of both. Shrubs may vary in height from one to ten metres tall. The groundcover varies from open to dense, and may be sparse where the tree canopy is dense or where there is a thick litter of leaves and branches. Dominant species include Dianella spp. (Blue Flax Lilies), Lepidosperma concavum, Lomandra longifolia (Spiny-headed Matrush), Pteridium esculentum (Bracken), and the grasses Imperata cylindrica var. major (Blady Grass), Microlaena stipoides var. stipoides (Weeping Grass) and Themeda australis (Kangaroo Grass), while herbs, such as Desmodium gunnii, Dichondra repens (Kidney Weed), Pratia purpurascens (Whiteroot) and Viola hederacea (Ivy-leaved Violet), are scattered amongst the larger plants. Vines of Glycine clandestina, Hardenbergia violacea (False Sarsparilla), Kennedia rubicunda (Running Postman), Marsdenia rostrata (Common Milk Vine) and Stephania japonica var. discolor (Snake Vine) scramble through the groundcover and occasionally over shrubs or tree trunks. 5. Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is currently known from parts of the Local Government Areas of Sutherland, Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla and Bega Valley but may occur elsewhere in these bioregions. Bioregions are defined in Thackway and Creswell (1995). 6. A number of vegetation surveys and mapping studies have been carried out across the range of Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions. In the Sydney-South Coast region, this community includes ‘Ecotonal Coastal Hind Dune Swamp Oak-Bangalay Shrub Forest’ (ecosystem 27) excluding those stands that are dominated by Casuarina glauca and ‘Coastal Sands Shrub/Fern Forest’ (ecosystem 28) of Thomas et al. (2000); ‘Littoral Thicket’ (map unit 63) and part of ‘Coastal Sand Forest’ (map unit 64) of Tindall et al. (2004); ‘Coastal Sand Bangalay-Blackbutt Forest’ (map unit 25) of NPWS (2002); and ‘Dry Dune Shrub Forest’ of Keith and Bedward (1999). Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is included within the ‘South Coast Sands Dry Sclerophyll Forests’ vegetation class of Keith (2002, 2004). There may be additional or unmapped occurrences of Bangalay Sand Forest within and beyond these surveyed areas. 7. Near its northern limit in the Bundeena area, Bangalay Sand Forest co-occurs with Kurnell Dune Forest in the Sutherland Shire and City of Rockdale, which is listed as an Endangered Ecological Community in Part 3 of Schedule 1 of the Act. In this area, Bangalay Sand Forest is generally restricted to foredunes and hind dunes of beaches, while Kurnell Dune Forest generally occurs on sheltered sand flats further from the immediate influence of the sea. Characteristic species of Kurnell Dune Forest, such as Angophora costata, Banksia ericifolia, Cupaniopsis anacardioides, Endiandra sieberi, Eucalyptus robusta and Maclura cochinchinensis, are not common components of Bangalay Sand Forest. However, the two communities may intergrade where they co-occur. This Determination and the Determination of Kurnell Dune Forest collectively encompass all intermediate stands of vegetation between the two communities. 8. Another Endangered Ecological Community, Umina Coastal Sandplain Woodland in the Sydney Basin bioregion, occupies a similar sandplain habitat to the north of Sydney. However, this community occupies podsolised sands that are rich in iron (Burges & Drover 1952), as distinct from the humic podsols that characterise Bangalay Sand Forest, and is dominated by Angophora floribunda with E. paniculata, while E. botryoides predominates only in the vicinity of the beach. In addition, Umina Coastal Sandplain Woodland includes a greater diversity of mesic understorey species and Acacia species than Bangalay Sand Forest. 9. Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions is threatened by land clearing; degradation and disturbance associated with heavy recreational use; frequent burning; rubbish dumping; and weed invasion. These threats are generally associated with existing and proposed urban development along the coast. However, areas of Bangalay Sand Forest within conservation reserves, including Royal, Seven Mile Beach, Conjola, Meroo, Murramarang, Eurobodalla and Biamanga National Parks, are exposed to degradation by visitor overuse due to their proximity to popular beaches and camping areas. 10. Available vegetation mapping indicates that Bangalay Sand Forest has suffered substantial levels of clearing. The coastline between Gerroa and Bermagui includes an estimated area of about 3450 ha, representing one-quarter of the estimated pre-1750 distribution of the community (ecosystems 27 and 28 of Thomas et al. 2000). Similarly, Tindall et al. (2004) map about 2200 ha of Littoral Thicket, representing about one-third of the its estimated pre-European distribution between Sydney and Moruya. South of Bermagui, Keith & Bedward (1999) mapped a further 650 ha, representing less than two-fifths of the estimated pre-1750 distribution. However, recent reconnaissance suggests that these studies may have over-estimated the remaining area of Bangalay Sand Forest (J. Miles, pers. comm.). North of Gerroa, only small fragments of the community persist, for example, on Minnamurra Spit (Mills 2000), around Primbee and Windang (NPWS 2002), Bundeena and Taren Point. Overall, these estimates indicate large reductions in the geographic distribution of the community. Clearing of native vegetation is listed as a Key Threatening Process under the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). 11. Some areas of Bangalay Sand Forest are exposed to frequent burning, particularly around camping areas, towns and other sources of ignition. High frequency fire alters species composition by favouring fire-tolerant rhizomatous grasses, sedges and ferns at the expense of woody plants that are slow to regenerate after fire (Keith 1996). Elimination of woody species by frequent burning is likely to be accelerated by grazing. These processes of degradation represent large reductions in the ecological function of the community. High frequency fire resulting in disruption of life cycle processes in plants and animals and loss of vegetation structure and composition is listed as a Key Threatening Process under the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). 12. Weed invasion occurs where Bangalay Sand Forest is exposed to disturbance and degradation. Common weed species include Asparagus spp., Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata (Bitou Bush), introduced forms of Cynodon dactylon (Couch), Cirsium vulgare (Spear Thistle), Conyza bonariensis (Fleabane), Hypochaeris radicata (Cats Ear), NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 137 4 November 2005 LEGISLATION 9317 Ipomea spp. (Morning Glory spp.), Lantana camara, Pennisetum clandestinum (Kikuyu). These and other weed species may achieve considerable abundance within stands of Bangalay Sand Forest, indicating a large reduction in ecological function of the community. Invasion of native plant communities by exotic perennial grasses is listed as a Key Threatening Process under the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). 13. Additions to the coastal reserve system and land use zoning have protected some stands of Bangalay Sand Forest from clearing. However, pressures associated with increasing human populations and recreational activity on the coast continue to intensify, especially where stands of the community occur in the vicinity of coastal villages and urban centres, and where new reserves involve the establishment of camping areas and other visitor infrastructure. Disturbance associated with increased human access contributes particularly to habitat degradation, increased frequencies of bushfire ignitions, and weed invasion, posing major threats even on land managed for conservation. In addition to the processes outlined above, activities such as illegal fire wood collection by campers and coastal residents may threaten habitat for vertebrate and invertebrate fauna and disrupt nutrient and carbon cycling. Removal of dead wood and dead trees is listed as a Key Threatening Process under the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). These processes may result in a large reduction in ecological function of the community. 14. In view of the above, the Scientific Committee is of the opinion that Bangalay Sand Forest of the Sydney Basin and South East Corner bioregions it is likely to become extinct in nature in New South Wales unless the circumstances and factors threatening its survival cease to operate.

Page 1 s05-453-04.p01 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 137 4 November 2005 LEGISLATION 9319 THREATENED SPECIES CONSERVATION ACT 1995 Final Determination THE Scientific Committee, established by the Threatened Species Conservation Act, has made a Final Determination to list Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion as an ENDANGERED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY in Part 3 of Schedule 1 of the Act. Listing of endangered ecological communities is provided for by Part 2 of the Act. The Scientific Committee has found that: 1. Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion is the name given to the ecological community characterised by the assemblage of species listed in paragraph 2 that typically occurs at elevations of 700 – 1500 m, and is mainly confined to the high undulating basalt plateau with deep, chocolate or krasnozem loam soils (Benson and Ashby 2000). The structure of the community is typically open forest 20 – 30 m tall, although it may assume the structure of woodland, sometimes less than 12 m tall, in exposed sites or where subject to past clearing or thinning. The understorey contains a sparse stratum of shrubs and a continuous groundcover composed mostly of grasses and herbs. 2. Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion is characterised by the following assemblage of species: Acacia dealbata Acaena agnipila Acaena novae-zelandiae Ajuga australis Ammobium alatum Asperula conferta Brachyscome Bracteantha bracteata nova-anglica Bulbine bulbosa Craspedia variabilis Cullen tenax Cynoglossum australe Desmodium varians Dichelachne micrantha Dichondra repens Dichopogon fimbriatus Diuris abbreviata Elymus scaber Epilobium Eucalyptus dalrympleana billardierianum subsp. heptantha Eucalyptus pauciflora Eucalyptus stellulata Eucalyptus viminalis Euchiton gymnocephalus Exocarpos Galium ciliare cupressiformis Geranium solanderi Glycine clandestina Hybanthus monopetalus Hydrocotyle laxiflora Hypericum gramineum Lachnagrostis filiformis Lomandra longifolia Luzula densiflora Pimelea linifolia Poa labillardierei var. labillardierei Poa sieberiana Poranthera microphylla var. sieberiana Pteridium esculentum Pultenaea microphylla Ranunculus lappaceus Rubus parvifolius Rumex brownii Scleranthus biflorus Senecio bipinnatisectus Senecio diaschides Senecio sp. E Stellaria pungens Themeda australis Thesium australe Veronica calycina Viola betonicifolia Wahlenbergia stricta subsp. stricta 3. The total species list of the community is larger than that given above, with many species present only in one or two sites, or in low abundance. The species composition of a site will be influenced by the size of the site, recent rainfall or drought conditions and by its disturbance (including grazing, land clearing and fire) history. The number and relative abundance of species will change with time since fire, and may also change in response to changes in fire regimes. At any one time, above-ground individuals of some species may be absent, but the species may be represented below ground in the soil seed banks or as dormant structures such as bulbs, corms, rhizomes, rootstocks or lignotubers. The list of species given above is mainly of vascular plant species, however the community also includes micro-organisms, fungi, cryptogamic plants and a diverse fauna, both vertebrate and invertebrate. These components of the community are poorly documented. 4. Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion is characterised by a tree layer usually c. 20 m tall, reaching up to 30 m in resource-rich sites, but considerably shorter than 20m on exposed or damp sites or where past clearing has removed mature trees. Common overstorey species include Eucalyptus viminalis (Ribbon Gum), E. dalrympleana subsp. heptantha (Mountain Gum), E. pauciflora (Snow Gum or White Sallee) and occasionally E. stellulata (Black Sallee). The understorey comprises a sparse layer of shrubs NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 137 9320 LEGISLATION 4 November 2005 including Acacia dealbata, Pultenaea microphylla and Pimelea linifolia and a dense to very dense grassy ground cover dominated by Poa sieberiana var. sieberiana, P.labillardieri var. labillardieri, Themeda australis and Elymus scaber with herbs such as Acaena spp. Ammobium alatum, Asperula conferta, Geranium solanderi, Ranunculus lappaceus and numerous other species (Benson and Ashby 2000). 5. Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion provides important habitat for the nationally vulnerable plant species Thesium australe, commonly known as ‘Austral Toadflax’ (Benson and Ashby 2000). 6. Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion is currently known from parts of the Local Government Areas of Armidale Dumaresq, Bellingen, Clarence Valley, Glen Innes Severn, Guyra, Inverell, Tenterfield, Uralla and Walcha but may occur elsewhere in this bioregion. Bioregions are defined in Thackway and Creswell (1995). 7. Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion includes Communities 6 and 7 of Benson and Ashby (2000) and Tableland Grasslands and Woodlands on Basaltic Soils (Vegetation Type 1b, Eucalyptus viminalis) of Clarke et al. (1995). There may be additional occurrences of the community within and beyond these surveyed areas. Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland belongs to the Tableland Clay Grassy Woodlands vegetation classs (Keith 2004). 8. Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion may co-occur with White Box Yellow Box Blakely’s Red Gum Woodland, also listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). The two Endangered Ecological Communities may intergrade where they adjoin and in intermediate habitats such as occur in the vicinity of Armidale. All intermediate assemblages are collectively included within the two communities. 9. The extent of Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion prior to European settlement has not been mapped across its entire range. However, in the Guyra District, Benson and Ashby (2000) estimate that 85% of their Map Units 6 and 7 have been cleared, leaving less than 8500 ha, of which less than half still retains a largely native understorey. This indicates a large reduction in geographic distribution of the community. Throughout the range of this community most of the understorey is highly modified, with many weeds present and a reduced native species richness (J. T. Hunter pers. comm.). An unknown area persists as native grassland where the woody component of the community has been eliminated by clearing. Of the area still wooded, much is regrowth after clearing or has had its understorey adversely affected by grazing or weed invasion. 10. The remaining stands are severely fragmented by past clearing and further threatened by continuing fragmentation and degradation, high grazing pressure, inappropriate fire regimes and invasion by introduced taxa (Benson and Ashby 2000, Keith 2004). Common introduced taxa include Hypochaeris radicata, Trifolium repens, Cirsium vulgare, Taraxacum officinale, Arenaria leptoclados and Petrorhagia nanteullii (Benson and Ashby 2000). Exotic perennial grasses such as Eragrostis curvula and Andropogon virginicus also threaten the community at higher altitudes (J. T. Hunter pers. comm.). Grazing pressure within remnant stands may be intense at certain times and high frequency (in some cases, annual) fires are a common management practice, leading to reduced understorey diversity. Most remnants are in poor condition, with some of the best examples now found along roadsides where they are often susceptible to gradual attrition due to road maintenance activities (J. T. Hunter pers. comm.). Collectively these processes represent a large reduction in the ecological function of the community. Clearing of native vegetation, High frequency fire resulting in disruption of life cycle processes in plants and animals and loss of vegetation structure and composition and Invasion of native plant communities by exotic perennial grasses are listed as Key Threatening Processes under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. 11. The community is poorly represented in conservation reserves with only 17 ha represented in Little Llangothlin Nature Reserve (Benson and Ashby 200). 12. In view of the above, the Scientific Committee is of the opinion that Ribbon Gum – Mountain Gum – Snow Gum Grassy Forest/Woodland of the New England Tableland Bioregion is likely to become extinct in nature in New South Wales unless the circumstances and factors threatening its survival cease to operate.

Listing of endangered ecological communities is provided for by Part 2 of the Act. The Scientific Committee has found that: 1. Themeda grassland on seacliffs and coastal headlands in NSW is an ecological community described by Adam et al. (1989). The community is found in the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner Bioregions, on seacliffs and coastal headlands. The structure of the community is typically closed tussock grassland, but may be open shrubland or open heath with a grassy matrix between the shrubs. The community belongs to the Maritime Grasslands vegetation class of Keith (2004). 2. The community is characterised by the following assemblage of species: Acacia sophorae Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia Commelina cyanea Glycine clandestina Glycine microphylla Hibbertia scandens Isolepis nodosa Kennedia rubicunda Lepidosperma spp. Leptospermum laevigatum Lomandra longifolia Monotoca elliptica Opercularia aspera Pimelea linifolia Poranthera microphylla Sporobolus virginicus Themeda australis Viola banksii Westringia fruticosa 3. The total species list of the community is considerably larger than that given above, with many species present at only one or two sites, or in low abundance. The species composition of the site will be influenced by the size of the site, recent rainfall and drought conditions and by its disturbance history (including fire, grazing and land clearing). At any one time, above ground individuals of some species may be absent, but the species may be represented below ground in soil seed banks or as dormant structures such as bulbs, corms, rhizomes, rootstocks or lignotubers. The list of species given above is of the vascular plant species, the community also includes micro-organisms, fungi, cryptogamic plants and a diverse flora. These components of the community are poorly documented. 4. Themeda australis is the dominant species in the community. Themeda australis is an extremely widespread species, but in this community may have a distinctive appearance, being prostrate and having glaucous leaves. These features are retained in cultivation and the form is believed to be genetically distinct (SWL Jacobs, pers. comm.). Scattered shrubs occur in many stands, most frequently Pimelea linifolia, Banksia integrifolia and Westringia fruticosa. These and other woody species often have dwarf growth forms. Although a number of woody species are listed as part of the community, these are usually sparsely distributed and may be absent from some stands. Tussocks of Poa poiformis may be found in some stands of the community, but Poa poiformis-dominated tussock grassland is generally found lower on cliffs (closer to the sea and more exposed to spray) and on steeper slopes. 5. A number of threatened species occur in some stands of the community, including Diuris sp. aff. chrysantha, Pultenaea maritima, Rutidosus heterogama, Thesium australe (Cohn 2004) and Zieria prostrata (Hogbin 2001). The endangered population of the low growing form of Zieria smithii at Diggers Head is found in this community. The community is the major habitat for a number of other species, including Chamaecrista maritima, Plectranthus cremnus and Stackhousia spathulata. The presence of threatened species is a matter which will need to be addressed, on a stand by stand basis in management plans, but the presence of threatened species is not required for definition of the community. 6. The community is found on a range of substrates, although stands on sandstone are infrequent and small. Larger stands are found on old sand dunes above cliffs, as for example at Cape Banks and Henry Head in Botany Bay National Park (Adam et al. 1989), and on basalt headlands, as for example at Damerals Head in Moonee Beach National Park. Occurrences of the community in northern NSW are discussed by Griffith et al. (2003). 7. Individual stands of the community are often very small, a few square metres, but at some sites larger stands of up to several hectares or tens of hectares occur. Overall, the community therefore has a highly restricted geographic distribution comprising small, but widely scattered patches. 8. Themeda grassland on seacliffs and coastal headlands has been affected by pasture improvement to accommodate livestock grazing to varying degrees throughout its range (e.g. in the Coffs Harbour and Shellharbour-Kiama districts). More recently, the distribution has been depleted by coastal development. While some stands are protected from further land use change, a major threat to the community is posed by invasion by shrubs, both introduced species such as Chrysanthemoides monilifera and Lantana camara, and native species including Acacia sophorae, Banksia integrifolia and Westringia fruticosa. Although native shrubs are a feature of the community, invasion and conversion to dense shrubland has occurred at a number of sites in recent years and this may threaten the persistence of grassland elements in the community. This may reflect changed fire regimes and reduced grazing pressure (including by rabbits). A further major threat is associated with recreational use, with weed invasion and erosion occurring adjacent to footpaths and NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 137 4 November 2005 LEGISLATION 9323 from use of off-road vehicles. Collectively, these processes may result in a large reduction of the ecological function of the community. 9. In view of the highly restricted distribution, small patch size and ongoing threats to the community, the Scientific Committee is of the opinion that Themeda grassland on seacliffs and coastal headlands in the NSW North Coast, Sydney Basin and South East Corner Bioregions is likely to become extinct in nature in New South Wales unless the circumstances and factors threatening its survival cease to operate.

JOHN DELLA BOSCA, M.L.C., Minister for Industrial Relations 4 November 2005 STATUTORY AND OTHER OFFICES REMUNERATION TRIBUNAL Conveyance Allowance REPORT: 1. The Tribunal’s Determination of 28 September 2005 made determinations concerning judicial remuneration. It its Report of those Determinations the Tribunal advised that it had not made a determination on the Conveyance Allowance but that “...A determination will issue shortly on the Conveyance Allowance and will be effective on and from 1 October 2005.” 2. The Tribunal’s determination on the Conveyance Allowance is now set out below. 3. As noted in its Report dated 28 September 2005, the Tribunal has again received a number of submissions dealing with the Conveyance Allowance. These submissions have sought, inter alia, clarification of the purpose of the Allowance, an increase in the Allowance and its application, and one submission questions the legality of the Conveyance Allowance. 4. The Tribunal, better to inform itself on the evolution of this entitlement, has reviewed and now sets out the historical background to the Conveyance Allowance. 5. In its determination of August 1990 SOORT considered the historical relationships between the Supreme Court Judges and Federal Court Judges since the creation of the Federal Court in 1976. SOORT concluded that i. “… in terms of salaries and allowances, a constant factor has been that the remuneration of Judges of the Supreme Court of New South Wales has been somewhat higher than that of Judges of the Federal Court since that latter was first established. The higher remuneration for Judges of the Supreme Court of New South Wales has taken into account the greater benefits received by the Judges of the Federal Court. ii The Tribunal considers that the matter of benefits is clearly relevant to the issue of salaries. Federal Judges receive a number of benefits not available to New South Wales Judges such as car and driver, reimbursement of home telephone costs, and first class air travel for the Judge’s spouse when accompanying the Judge on official functions.” 6. The Tribunal in that determination introduced in addition to salary i. “… an amount of $10,362 which has regard to the benefits provided to Federal Court Judges.” 7. The Tribunal, having noted the benefits enjoyed by Federal Court Judges which were additional to those provided to Supreme Court Judges, noted further that the cost at that time of providing a reasonably prestigious motor vehicle for 100 percent private use was approximately $8,200 pa. 8. From 1990 onwards Judges’ remuneration was expressed as a gross amount ie the remuneration of a Supreme Court Judge would be $150,000 pa. This comprised basic salary of $139,638 (the amount equivalent to the 85 percent nexus with the Judges of the High Court of Australia), plus an amount of $10,362 which had regard to the benefits provided to a Federal Court Judge. Annual increases were based on the base amount and the $10,362 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 137 4 November 2005 OFFICIAL NOTICES was added to provide the Supreme Court Judge’s total remuneration. 9. Remuneration of all related Office Holders at the time bore a percentage relationship to the salary of a Supreme Court Judge. The amount used to determine this percentage relationship was the gross amount. Thus all related Office Holders received a proportion of the additional amount provided to Supreme Court Judges. 10. In 1996 the Tribunal reviewed the additional amount and noted that it was predominantly intended to compensate Judges for the cost of motor vehicles. While the Tribunal noted the additional benefits accruing with this amount ie it counted towards Judges’ pension scheme and superannuation schemes, the Tribunal decided that on balance it should be retained at its then level. 11. In 2000 the Tribunal increased the quantum of the additional amount from $10,362 to $13,400 to better reflect the then cost of salary sacrificing for a vehicle. The Tribunal noted that the amount counted for pension purposes and was discounted from the full salary sacrifice leasing rate in recognition of this. 12. For the first time this additional amount was shown separately in the determination. 13. In its decision made on 27 November 2002 the Federal Tribunal provided for special increases for Federal Judges of 7% from 1 July 2002 and 5% from 1 July 2003, and subsequently in 2003 Federal Judges received a total of 9 percent increase (5% special plus 4% cost of living).. 14. In 2003 the Tribunal undertook a fundamental review of judicial remuneration in New South Wales in light of the Federal Tribunal’s 2002 decision. 15. The Tribunal considered that because of its nature (it was essentially a motor vehicle allowance) the additional amount should not count for Judges’ pension purposes or Magistrates’ superannuation purposes. 16. SOORT determined that part of the 9% 2003 Federal increase should be implemented by absorbing the additional amount into the base remuneration amount, and that a new non pensionable allowance should be created. The Tribunal introduced a new Conveyance Allowance for Judges and Magistrates ranging from $18,000 to $13,000 pa. 17. In its Report of 21 June 2003 the Tribunal stated: “…Conveyance Arrangements: The Tribunal agrees that the one entitlement available to Federal Judges which is significantly different to the entitlements of Supreme Court Judges is that relating to transport arrangements. The Commonwealth scheme entitles a Judge to either: A Commonwealth Car with driver service for travel to and from work; or A Commonwealth provided private plated vehicle in accordance with Commonwealth Executive Vehicle Scheme (EVS) guidelines; or Reimbursement of private vehicle running costs incurred by the Judge up to $8,000 p.a. plus petrol costs. Under the EVS guidelines a salary sacrifice or annual payment of $750 is paid by the Judge. 9347 The NSW scheme entitles a Judge to: Free public transport. Hire cars and taxis when travelling to suburban courts or on circuit. $400 p.a. for the use of hire cars or taxis. An additional sum of $13,400 p.a. which is substantially available for the use of a vehicle. The acquisition of a car under the Judicial Car Scheme by way of salary sacrifice. Unlike the Commonwealth Government the NSW Government no longer provides motor vehicles to senior public officials for whom vehicles are available only on a salary sacrifice basis. The Tribunal acknowledges that the additional sum of $13,400 to Supreme Court Judges is paid by way of salary and hence counts towards the calculation of pension under the Judges Pension Scheme. This is not the case for Commonwealth Judges or for Judges in any Australian State. Since the compensatory sum in this determination is solely to assist towards transport costs it is no longer appropriate that the compensation be by way of salary but instead by way of an allowance. Further, it is not appropriate that retired judges be compensated in their pension indexation arrangements for transport costs incurred by serving Judges. Presently less than half the number of Supreme Court Judges take advantage of the salary sacrifice scheme administered by the Attorney-General’s Department. The remaining Judges may use the additional sum to make private car arrangements but the choice is their own as to how the additional sum is used. The issue for the Tribunal is how to ensure equity between those Judges who acquire a vehicle under salary sacrifice, those who make private arrangements and for several who do not use a vehicle. Having regard to the provisions abovementioned for transport for Supreme Court Judges the Tribunal has decided that an allowance of $18,000 p.a. should be available to all Supreme Court Judges. For District Court Judges an allowance of $15,000 p.a. shall apply. Magistrates and other Office Holders shall be entitled to an allowance of $13,000 p.a. This allowance will not count for pension or superannuation purposes.” 18. In summary therefore, the Tribunal in 2003 introduced the Conveyance Allowance which as noted above replaced the former “additional amount” provided to Supreme Court Judges to compensate for the motor vehicle provided to Federal Court Judges. It should be noted that judicial officers receiving the additional amount were also reimbursed the cost of business travel. 19. To clarify the purpose of the Conveyance Allowance it should be noted that under the Commonwealth’s Executive Vehicle Scheme Federal Court Judges are provided with a fully maintained private plated motor vehicle for a contribution of less than $1,000 per year. While the vehicle may be used by a Federal Court Judge for business travel it is difficult to see how there would be any significant amount of such travel given that in New South Wales the Federal Court sits only in Sydney. It appears therefore that the vehicle provided to the Federal Court Judge would be principally available for and used for private purposes. NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 137 9348 OFFICIAL NOTICES 20. Further, it should be noted that other jurisdictions eg Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland also provide judges with fully maintained private plated motor vehicles. 21. So that Supreme Court Judges are not disadvantaged by comparison with Federal Court Judges, it is necessary to compensate NSW Supreme Court Judges for the private use motor vehicle benefits enjoyed by Federal Court Judges. The Conveyance Allowance is, as was the additional amount before it, intended to provide such compensation. 22. State judicial officers may (but are not obliged to) use the Conveyance Allowance towards the cost of leasing a motor vehicle through the State Government’s leasing scheme. Vehicles can be leased on a 100 percent private use basis ie the officer meets all the lease costs, which include running and on road costs, from his/her salary. Alternatively, where the officer establishes a need to use the vehicle for business related travel eg circuit court work, the officer can take a business/private lease, where an agreed percentage of the lease costs is met by the Attorney General’s Department. 23. The administrative arrangements surrounding the Tribunal’s determinations are a matter for the Attorney General’s Department. However, the Tribunal considers it is reasonable to expect that an officer who pays for a vehicle on a 100 percent private basis should be reimbursed for any business related travel undertaken in that vehicle. Conversely an officer who has a business component built into the vehicle lease might be expected not to claim business related motor vehicle travel costs except and to the extent that they exceed the business percentage agreed in the lease. 24. The Tribunal now turns to the question of the quantum of the Allowance. 25. The Federal model is simple, in that the Federal Judge chooses a car and all costs except for the nominal contribution of the Judge are met by the Court. In NSW the officer must personally bear these costs. 26. Costings for leasing of motor vehicles are based on the standard methodology used in the NSW public sector to determine annual costs to an officer who salary sacrifices to lease a motor vehicle. To determine the annual cost of the vehicle it is necessary to have the make and model of the vehicle, the percentage of private/business use and an estimate of the kilometres to be travelled in the relevant 12 month period. 27. The Tribunal in 2003 used a Holden Calais as the benchmark vehicle on which to base the quantum of the Conveyance Allowance. 28. As part of this review, the Tribunal has considered the appropriateness of using one make and model of motor vehicle to determine the quantum of the allowance. 29. Vehicles made available to and chosen by Federal Court Judges vary in make and model. 30. The Tribunal has sought from the NSW Attorney General’s Department details of the current composition of the judicial fleet of vehicles. The vehicles presently leased by NSW Judges and Magistrates vary in make and model to the extent that there is no one vehicle that reasonably can be used as a benchmark for costings. 4 November 2005 31. The Tribunal considers that a more appropriate approach to determining the quantum of the entitlement is to use the average of a range of costs, rather than to use one particular make and model. Using this approach the Tribunal considers that an amount of $20,500 is presently appropriate for the Conveyance Allowance. 32. The Tribunal has given careful consideration to submissions that the Conveyance Allowance should be uniform across all NSW jurisdictions. The Tribunal acknowledges in particular that many District Court Judges and Magistrates in the course of their duties are likely to be involved in significantly more travel than are Judges of the Supreme Court. However, the Tribunal is informed that in other State jurisdictions there is a differential in the category of vehicles made available to Supreme Court Judges and those made available to District Court Judges and Magistrates. On balance the Tribunal considers it reasonable that the rates for District Court Judges and Magistrates should be proportional to the rate determined for the Judges of the Supreme Court. 33. Finally, the Tribunal referred to the Crown Solicitor a submission from a judicial officer which questioned the legality of certain aspects of the Tribunal’s 21 June 2003 determination. The Crown Solicitor has advised the Tribunal that the amount determined as a Conveyance Allowance is in fact an allowance and is not invalid, and further has confirmed that in any event the Tribunal’s determination is not affected by any error, whether jurisdictional or otherwise. 34. Having regard to this advice the Tribunal will take no further action in respect of the particular submission. CONCLUSION 35. Having regard to the matters outlined above, and after considering the views of the Assessors, the Tribunal makes the following determination in respect of the Conveyance Allowance to take effect on and from 1 October 2005.

On 18 January 2005, the Tribunal made its initial Report and Determination on the remuneration payable to the Acting Deputy Presidents of the Workers Compensation Commission. In its Report the Tribunal concluded that: “… the remuneration for Acting Deputy Presidents of the Workers Compensation Commission should reflect the daily equivalent of the full Deputy President rate, noting that Acting Deputy Presidents will exercise the same functions as the full time Deputy Presidents.” 2. In its Report and Determination of 28 September 2005 the Tribunal determined an increase of 4.1 percent for the full time Members of the Workers Compensation Commission effective on and from 1 October 2005. A similar increase is, therefore, appropriate for the Acting Deputy Presidents of the Workers Compensation Commission. DETERMINATION: Pursuant to section 13 of the Act, the Tribunal determines that the rate of remuneration for Acting Presidents of the Workers Compensation Commission shall be $890 per day.
