1 Detection of high density of Yellow-bellied gliders at Mt Jersey, Surveyors: Dave Caldwell, Joe Henderson, Ed Hill. Method: A spotlighting and call-playback transect was walked through coupe Boarfish on the night of by Dave Caldwell and Joe Henderson. The survey took place between 2235 and 0116 hours. Temperature was cool, there was no cloud cover, no wind, the moon was at approximately ½ full and low to the west. Call-playback was at intervals of approximately 130 metres, by way of a megaphone and an mp3 player. Two calls were used to elicit a response from Yellow-bellied gliders; a Sooty owl territorial call, and a Yellow-bellied glider aggressive territorial call. A silent period between calls was used to listen for responses. Spotlighting was carried out for the duration of the survey. When gliders were calling, a location was recorded on a handheld Garmin GPS 64s. Bearing was taken with a sighting compass. Time, location, approximate distance, bearing, and number of individuals and species were recorded on a data sheet. A Cannon 7D camera with 250mm zoom lens was on hand to photograph fauna. Ed Hill arrived at Mt. Jersey rd at 00:20am and walked down a freshly pushed in snig track at the northern end of the coupe. Mr. Hill three unique individual Yellow Bellied Gliders call and recorded detection times, waypoints, bearings and distance estimates. Mr. Hill two individuals calling from the northern end of the coupe and one individual calling from the southern end. Results Eight Yellow-bellied gliders were recorded during the survey within a distance of approximately 600m. Post survey data analysis indicates that it is possible that two of these, YBG07 and YBG08 may have been the same individual. Ed Hill recorded three individual Yellow Bellied Gliders as incidental observations. At waypoint YBG_01(EH) Mr. Hill two Yellow Bellied Gliders calling from different directions in the northern end of the coupe at 00:31, these gliders could be unique individuals, separate from those recorded by Mr. Henderson and Mr. Caldwell. At the time (00:31) these two gliders were by Mr. Hill the other surveyors were at the other end of the coupe and did not hear a Yellow Bellied Glider in this time period. This indicates the individuals recorded by Mr. Hill were separate from those recorded at the southern end of the coupe by the other surveyors. It is unclear

2 if these individuals were recorded previously by the other surveyors, it is quite possible however they have not been included in the cumulative results total. Their presence is nevertheless important to note. Mr. Hill s third aural detection of a Yellow Bellied Glider could also be a unique individual, however as it is unclear it has not been included in the cumulative total. Several other species were during the transect, including Greater glider, Feathertail glider, Mountain Brushtail possum and young, and a Long Footed Potoroo with pouch young. The Long footed Potoroo was seen at a distance of just 4 feet under dense low shrubs, it was small size (approximately 40cm high), had long feet, pale creamy underbelly, brown body fur and large pouch young. Other species identified were Boobook owl, Owlet Nightjar, Feather Tail Glider and Sugar glider. Forest in Boarfish coupe prior to commencement of logging

5 Discussion/ Recommendations: The results of this survey show a number of protected species including a high density of Yellow Bellied Gliders occupying the forest within coupe Boarfish. This high density of Yellow Bellied Gliders (more than 6) triggers the detection based zoning management actions detailed in the Planning Standards for timber harvesting operations in Victoria s State forests Specifically Table 4 Detection based FMZ rules for fauna, page 47: EstablishჼaჼSPZჼofჼapproximatelyჼ100ჼhaჼofჼsuitableჼ ჼჼhabitatჼwhereჼverifiedჼrecordsჼreportჼmoreჼthanჼ0.2ჼ individualsჼperჼhectare,ჼmoreჼthanჼ5ჼindividualsჼperჼkmჼჼ orჼmoreჼthanჼ7ჼindividualsჼperჼhourჼofჼspotlighting,ჼorჼ whereჼsubstantialჼpopulationsჼareჼlocated in isolated or unusual habitat. 1 As logging has already commenced in this coupe significant damage has already occurred in high density Yellow Bellied Glider habitat. An extensive network of snig tracks has been pushed into the forest and logging machinery has created several large cleared areas. A number of large old trees have been pushed over or cut. It is critically important the logging immediately ceases in this coupe so the required Special Protection Zone can be implemented for Yellow Bellied Gliders. Any further logging could impact the Yellow Bellied Glider population in this area and upon forest required to be placed within a Special Protection Zone. Logging has commenced unlawfully and will continue unlawfully until DELWP take appropriate regulatory action. 1 The State of Victoria Department of Environment and Primary Industries 2014, Planning Standards for timber harvesting operations in Victoria s State forests 2014 Appendix 5 to the Management Standards and Procedures for timber harvesting operations in Victoria s State forests 2014, P. 47
