Regeneration area (Action A08): Wingham Foreshore Recreation Reserve
6.6.1
Location and setting
The Wingham Foreshore Recreation Reserve is an area consisting of three Crown Reserves located on the southern outskirts of Wingham bordering the Manning River. The Reserve is 11.46 ha in size and is bounded to the north by Farquhar Street, Wingham Brush Nature Reserve and private land holdings; to the east/south by the Manning River; and to the west by private land and the Wingham township. Land that makes up the Reserve is listed in Table 12 and displayed in Figure 30. The topography of the Reserve is generally flat to gently undulating, except for steeper gradients adjacent to the banks of the Manning River and in the north-western corner of the Reserve. Elevation ranges from 0m to 14.5m AHD (Australian Height Datum). The Reserve is located below the 1 in 100 year average recurrence interval (ARI) flood level. The majority of the Reserve is inundated during a 5 year ARI flood event. Most of the original native vegetation at the Reserve has been cleared in the past for agriculture. Remnant and regrowth vegetation contain attributes of the following DPIE BioNet PCTs: • • •
1068 Pepperberry - Giant Stinging Tree - Fig lowland rainforest in the NSW North Coast Bioregion 1530 Weeping Lilly Pilly – Water Gum riparian warm temperate rainforest of the lower North Coast. 1106 River Oak riparian woodland of the NSW North Coast Bioregion and Northern Sydney Basin Bioregion.
PCT 1068 and 1530 are indicative of the BC Act Threatened Ecological Community (TEC): Lowland Rainforest on Floodplain in the New South Wales North Coast Bioregion. The adjoining Wingham Brush Nature Reserve is a significant remnant rainforest with 10% of lowland rainforest on floodplain remaining in New South Wales. Table 13
