1 Breaking the Barriers: Engineering Solutions to Ecological Problems A Joined-up Regional Landscape: A Roadmap to connect the parts Associate Professor Darryl Low Choy Urban Research Program

2 Outline Nature of the regional scale problem Origins of the corridor concept in SEQ planning Concept of Landscape Corridors Treatment in the SEQ Regional Plan Landscape Corridors as infrastructure A Strategic Roadmap

3 Continuing urbanisation & peri-urbanisation of the SEQ region The nature of the Sunshine Coast regional-scale problem Gold Coast

4 Linear (Amenity) Peri-urbanisation

5 Corridor severance & remnant vegetation resulting from peri-urbanisation Remnant Vegetation Patch Erosion Corridor Severance

6 Origins of the corridor concept in SEQ regional planning First (voluntary) Regional Planning initiative for SEQ (1991 to 2001)

7 1993

8 1993

9 1994

10 Concept of Landscape Corridors

11 Purpose of Landscape Corridors to address landscape fragmentation to maintain or increase landscape connectivity to link areas of similar landscape value/attributes to protect landscape values to facilitate movement through the landscape to provide a continuous experience of the landscape to facilitate landscape appreciation

12 Biodiversity (Ecological) Corridors [Greenways] Core habitat patch Continuous corridor Core habitat patch

13 Biodiversity (Terrestrial) Corridors

14 Biodiversity (Aquatic) Corridors

15 (European) Cultural Heritage Trails

16 Aboriginal Pathways

17 Aboriginal Dreaming Tracks

18 Aboriginal Cultural Corridors The Lurujarri Trail (part of the song cycle) The song cycle: a path taken by ancestral spirits where people, animals, rocks, trees, waterholes and every component of the landscape evolved through the song of creation (Sinatra & Murphy, 1999)

19 Regional Recreation Trails

20 Infrastructure Corridors

21 Regional Scenic Landscape Linkages SEQ

22 Scenic Corridors (Routes)

23 First (statutory) regional plan for SEQ Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area 2005

24 Community s Regional Landscape Values requiring protection biodiversity water quality & quantity good quality agricultural land scenic amenity nature based recreation opportunities cultural (incl( indigenous) heritage ecosystem services

25 Conceptual Regional Landscape Framework KEY Outdoor recreation Rural production Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area Landscape corridor Cultural heritage Landscape character area Landscape character area Core Landscape Area Core Landscape Area Urban Footprint Inter-urban break Urban Footprint Inter-urban break Landscape character area Urban Footprint Coastal Waters Landscape Value Inter-regional landscape link Nature conservation Scenic amenity

29 Landscape Corridors as Infrastructure

30 Physical Infrastructure Environmental Infrastructure Social Infrastructure

31 Linking Infrastructure Planning with Land Use & Landscape Planning Whole-of-State Government Coordination for Infrastructure provision Physical Infrastructure Social Infrastructure Environmental Infrastructure

32 Components of the US Green Infrastructure Concept HUBS: reserves, native landscapes, working lands, regional parks and community parks. LINKS: landscape linkages, conservation corridors, greenways, greenbelts and riparian floodplains. (Benedict & McMahon, 2002)

34 This Type of Corridor is NOT an option!

35 A Regional Landscape Corridor Roadmap for SEQ

36 A Roadmap to Operationalise the Concept of Landscape Corridors Landscape values ongoing research Confirm range of values to be incorporated in Landscape Corridors Establish a Landscape Corridor Working Group Stakeholder Briefings Technical workshops Regional Forum: Landscape Corridors Consensus on form and purpose of Landscape Corridors Give policy coverage and formal recognition to landscape Corridors in the Regional Plan (statutory) Cascade into lower level planning (eg state agency plans; local government plans and private sector structure plans) Heritage Trails Define the type and range of Landscape Corridors Regional Landscape Framework ongoing development Strategic delineation of existing, partial, and potential Landscape Corridors at the regional scale Local scale delineation of existing, partial, and potential Landscape Corridors Multiple purpose corridors Single purpose corridors local scale wildlife barrier mitigation measure Recreation Trails Scenic amenity corridors etc
