For terrestrial ecosystems these are:\r\n\r\nFor the ecology domains of the SREBA, the boundary should be determined following consideration of the following spatial areas: \r\n\u2022\tbiogeographical boundaries \r\n\u2022\tgeological (sub)basin boundaries with the gas resource\r\n\u2022\tencompass the spatial distribution of ecological values on which gas development in that region could feasibly have an impact, including predictable indirect impacts; and\r\n\u2022\tinclude sufficient bioregional extent to provide adequate context to assess the significance of any potential impact.   \r\nIn general, these boundaries should correspond to IBRA sub-bioregions.  However, additional consideration should be given to:\r\n\u2022\twhere gas development can feasibly only occur in one part of a large region, sub-regional boundaries may be appropriate\r\n\u2022\twhere only a small portion of a bioregion overlaps the edge of a gas (sub)basin, that entire bioregion cannot be cost-effectively be incorporated in the SREBA, so only a portion of that subregion should be included \r\n\u2022\twhere there is potential for significant downstream impacts from development (notably on the quality or quantity of ground- or surface water), the boundary may extend out of the bioregion where development will occur, likely following (sub)catchment boundaries.          \r\n\r\nThe principles for aquatic ecosystems are similar, with a stronger emphasis on catchment or sub-catchment boundaries, and the extent of underlying aquifers that support ground-water dependent ecosystems; and also noting the need to sensibly limit the spatial extent of the study  in relation to downstream catchment areas, especially where there is no feasible impact pathway.\r\n\r\nThese principles were applied to derive the proposed Beetaloo GBA extended region boundary, primarily based on the boundaries of the Birdum (STU3) and Newcastle (STU2) subregions of the Sturt Plateau Bioregion.  In order to explain where and why it deviates from these subregions boundaries, starting at the northern edge and moving counter clockwise:\r\n-\tthe northern edge follows the bioregion boundary.  Importantly, this corresponds to the Roper River in the Mataranka springs area.  For this section, the boundary has been extended to capture the Mataranka Thermal Pools. The north western edge also captures the springs feeding toward the Flora River, but may need to check this and adjust slightly so that these GDEs are included\r\n-\ton the western edge, the boundary diverts from the bioregion and follows the boundary of the Daly and then Roper Drainage Basins, and then cuts southward to rejoin the southern boundary of the Newcastle subregion.  This pragmatically exclude some of the most western extent of STU3 and STU2, which are geographically distant from the gas basin, and which are unlikely to add useful regional context to any of the ecology values. The GDE\u2019s on the King River in the northwest have been included within the boundary.\r\n-\tIt is considered essential to include Lake Woods in the study area, so a portion of the boundary of Mitchell Grass Downs (MGD2) is used to do this. The boundary then cuts across the top of the Mitchell Grass Downs to rejoin the STU2 boundary\r\n-\tThe boundary cuts north to meet and use the western boundary of the McArthur River Basin \u2013 this excludes the most eastern extent of STU2, for similar reasons as above for excluding the most western extent\r\n-\tIn the eastern section, the most easterly extent of the Beetaloo sub-basin just enters the Gulf Fall Bioregion.  This is ecologically very different to the Sturt Plateau, and so the requirement to sample in this area needs to be sensibly constrained.  A 20km buffer from the edge of the gas basin.  The boundary therefore encompasses the headwaters of some drainages that flow into the Limmen and Roper Rivers.   \r\n-\tThe boundary then follows the STU bioregion boundary back to the northern edge.   This includes the upper reaches of the Strangways River and Maryfield Creek.\r\n\r\nThis dataset was derived using: NTGS Beetaloo Sub-basin boundary (A7710381-78BF-4E1F-B015-A9E874599F47), the DoEE Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (Subregions - States and Territories) v. 7 (IBRA) (F83F319E-C369-4548-BBEC-3AAD7AB40AE8), and GBA Beetaloo basin GDE (E4C2B147-8338-4821-BC5E-DE300E9B6362) as its data sources.", "num_resources": 1, "num_tags": 1, "organization": {"id": "69f37b4c-bdf0-4c85-bd56-82fa6d6b087a", "name": "bioregional-assessment-program", "title": "Bioregional Assessment Program", "type": "organization", "description": "The Australian Government's bioregional assessments programs are a collaboration between the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia.
