| Survey/Project Name: | Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park Pipeline Survey November 2017 |
| Abstract: | This project aims to conduct a biological survey, to determine if any significant biodiversity assets are present, of the area within 1 km either side of existing pipelines traversing Section 1477 (Out of Hundreds Copley and Frome), within Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park, north-east South Australia, in November 2017. METHODOLOGY: The survey in the eastern section of the park, towards Lake Frome, will involve a team of six using the standard Biological Survey of South Australia method. |

| Study Area Description: | 1 km either side of existing pipelines traversing Section 1477 (Out of Hundreds Copley and Frome) within Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park |
| Objectives | |||
| Vegetation: | To sample all vegetation types occurring within 1km either side of the existing oil and gas pipelines that traverse the Balcanoona block of Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park in order to provide advice on the possible re-proclamation of this area to allow for pipeline rights under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000. | ||
| Fauna: | To sample fauna in all habitat types occurring within 1km either side of the existing oil and gas pipelines that traverse the Balcanoona block of Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park in order to provide advice on the possible re-proclamation of this area to allow for pipeline rights under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000. | ||
