The Murrumbidgee River, the major waterway in the ACT is in very poor condition throughout its length. The riparian floodplains in the ACT have been affected by land clearing, altered hydrological systems and water quality, major weed invasions, fire and related climatic changes. The ACT Government has undertaken two surveys to provide a clear picture of the state of the high conservation value streams in the ACT.
- The extent and significance of Gungahlin's biodiversity values (4.1 MB) Dr Michael Mulvaney
- Box–gum woodland in the ACT (4.2 MB). Owen Maguire and Michael Mulvaney. Maps of lowland woodland across the ACT have been based primarily on surveys undertaken from 1995 to 1997 and 2001 to 2002. This mapping identified Yellow Box – Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland, listed as an endangered ecological community under the Nature Conservation Act 1980 (ACT) in May 1997. This report updates the endangered woodland mapping to better indicate its current extent.
