Introduction This WildNet report is derived from a spatial layer that is generated from the WildNet database, managed by the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation. The layer, which is generated weekly, contains a subset of WildNet wildlife records that are not classed as erroneous or duplicate, that have a location precision equal to or less than 10000 metres and do not have a count of zero. It does not include aspatial data such as some baseline species lists created for some protected areas. The WildNet dataset is constantly being enhanced and the taxonomic and status information revised. If a conservation significant species is not listed in this report, it does not mean it doesn't occur there and listed species may also no longer inhabit the area. It is recommended that you also access other internal and external data sources for species information in your area of interest.
The Species List Application may provide additional information on species occurence within your area of interest.
Conservation significant species are species listed:
• as threatened or near threatened under the Nature Conservation Act 1992; as threatened under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 or • migratory species protected under the following international agreements: ◦ Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (Bonn Convention) •
◦ China-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement ◦ Japan-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement ◦ Republic of Korea-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement
Table 2 lists the species recorded within the area of interest and its one kilometre buffer.
