6.2 Heritage Issues "Rosny Hill Nature Recreation Area" 12A Akuna Street Rosny, Tasmania The Section 2 (Physical, Biological and Cultural Characteristics) of the Rosny Hill Nature Recreation Area Management Strategy provides a summary of the natural and cultural values of Rosny Hill. Pertinent sections of that report include: Geology and Topography The geology/soil type is relatively robust, with the capacity to sustainably support recreational trail development and use. … The stony nature of the local geology may be a design element that could be incorporated into facility upgrades and landscaping, with the potential to utilise stone from the site. Vegetation The Rosny Hill Bushfire Management Plan 2010 indicates that there are five distinct vegetation communities within the reserve: (DVG) Grassy Eucalyptus viminalis woodland (NAV) Inland Acacia verticillata low Forest (GTL) Lowland Themeda grassland (GCL) Lowland grassland complex (NBA) Bursaria-acacia woodland and Scrub Rosny Hill NRA provides habitat for several rare and threatened native plant species, including: Leafy sun orchid (Thelymitra bracteata) Grassland flax lily (Dianella amoena) Spear grass (Austrostipa nodosa) Tall wallaby grass (Austrodanthonia induta) Shade peppercress (Ledidium pseudotasmanicum) Narrow leaf New Holland daisy (Vittadinia muelleri) … None of these vegetation communities are listed as threatened under the Nature Conservation Act 2002. However, it is noted that all communities, with the exception of the Inland Acacia verticillata low forest, are considered to be inadequately reserved at state level 5. The small size of remnant vegetation communities, the minimal capacity for increase, and the density of urban development surrounding the reserve, mean that they need to be well-managed to ensure long-term viability. Fauna The Natural Values Report indicates that the following threatened fauna species have been recorded from within 500m of the reserve: Swift parrot (Lathamus discolor); and Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii). Aboriginal The Rosny Hill NRA is within the original territory of the Oyster Bay people, once the largest tribe in Tasmania. The Band most closely associated with the Rosny Hill area was the Moomairremener. All sites or artefacts of Aboriginal significance are protected under the Aboriginal Relics Act 19759. To date, there are no know sites or artefacts of significance in the study area – such sites or artefacts are more likely to be associated with the nearby coastal areas. Historic and Heritage Values Although Rosny Hill does not contain any known tangible evidence of historic cultural heritage, it’s prominence in the landscape (particularly when seen from the western shore), as illustrated in Page 12
Contemporary Social Values 7.0 Services "Rosny Hill Nature Recreation Area" 12A Akuna Street Rosny, Tasmania paintings and photographs throughout the history of European settlement within the Greater Hobart Area, suggests it has always been an important element of the cultural landscape. The strategic directions and recommendations .. respond to the identified contemporary social values, and aim to balance the needs and potential impacts of users, with the maintenance of natural and aesthetic values. The proposed recommendations identify practical and achievable ways to enhance recreation (primarily walking opportunities), lowlevel tourism (e.g. improvements to the quality of the lookouts), aesthetic values (e.g. maintenance, landscaping, and the visual values of the reserve when viewed from surrounding areas), and environmental management. Any new infrastructure must be designed and located with consideration to the potential visual impact when viewed from outside the reserve. 7 Electricity Available but not connected Water Reticulated water supply is available to Rosny Hill although supply may be restricted due to its elevation. Gas Reticulated natural gas is not available Sewer Available but not connected. Any new development is likely to require new mains connection to existing sewer drains/systems. Telecommunications Available but not connected 7.1 Services Infrastructure Required: In order to undertake development of the site, proponents would ordinarily undertake infrastructure works required to facilitate development. In particular, proponents would ordinarily expect to have access to electricity, telecommunication, reticulated water and sewer services. In recent times there have been a number of innovations which now mean more remote sites can be appropriately serviced without connections to reticulated services. Sustainable building design is now also placing greater emphasis on sustainability/self-sufficiency and so whilst services infrastructure is desirable, it is no longer considered essential. For example mobile phone and data services may mean that landline telecommunication services are not essential, or rainwater tanks can be used for water supply. In this instance, there is likely to also be a community benefit/demand for the provision of services. We expect any development is likely to need to cater for public amenities and this places a higher demand on water supplies and sewerage treatment. The cost of providing this infrastructure should therefore be shared on a negotiated basis with an successful commercial proponent for the site. Most services should be reasonably able to be provided to facilitate development of the RHNRA. The exception would appear to be water supply given the elevation of the proposed development zones. Any new development may need to provide its own water supply (via tanks) or pump station at the mains connection to a header tank. 7 Rosny Hill Nature Recreation Area Management Strategy, Author: inspiring place Page 13

"Rosny Hill Nature Recreation Area" 12A Akuna Street<br />
Rosny, Tasmania<br />
The Section 2 (Physical, Biological and Cultural Characteristics) of the Rosny Hill Nature Recreation<br />
Area Management Strategy provides a summary of the natural and cultural values of Rosny Hill.<br />
Pertinent sections of that report include:<br />
Geology and Topography The geology/soil type is relatively robust, with the capacity to<br />
sustainably support recreational trail development and use. …<br />
The stony nature of the local geology may be a design element that<br />
could be incorporated into facility upgrades and landscaping, with<br />
the potential to utilise stone from the site.<br />
Vegetation The Rosny Hill Bushfire Management Plan 2010 indicates that there<br />
are five distinct vegetation communities within the reserve:<br />
(DVG) Grassy Eucalyptus viminalis woodland<br />
(NAV) Inland Acacia verticillata low Forest<br />
(GTL) Lowland Themeda grassland<br />
(GCL) Lowland grassland complex<br />
(NBA) Bursaria-acacia woodland and Scrub<br />
Rosny Hill NRA provides habitat for several rare and threatened<br />
native plant species, including:<br />
Leafy sun orchid (Thelymitra bracteata)<br />
Grassland flax lily (Dianella amoena)<br />
Spear grass (Austrostipa nodosa)<br />
Tall wallaby grass (Austrodanthonia induta)<br />
Shade peppercress (Ledidium pseudotasmanicum)<br />
Narrow leaf New Holland daisy (Vittadinia muelleri)<br />
…<br />
None of these vegetation communities are listed as threatened under<br />
the Nature Conservation Act 2002. However, it is noted that all<br />
communities, with the exception of the Inland Acacia verticillata low<br />
forest, are considered to be inadequately reserved at state level 5.<br />
The small size of remnant vegetation communities, the minimal<br />
capacity for increase, and the density of urban development<br />
surrounding the reserve, mean that they need to be well-managed to<br />
ensure long-term viability.<br />
Fauna The Natural Values Report indicates that the following threatened<br />
fauna species have been recorded from within 500m of the reserve:<br />
Swift parrot (Lathamus discolor); and<br />
Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii).<br />
