Executive Summary on the Vegetation of the East
Trinity Reclamation site
November 2014
East Trinity is located approximately two kilometres east of Cairns CBD across Trinity Inlet. The
area was cleared in the 1970s which subsequently resulted in the development of acid sulfate
soils (ASS). The site was purchased by the Queensland Government in 2000 who initiated a
project to neutralise the acidic soils. This involved, among other things, installing several gates in
the bund wall around the site to allow seawater to tidally enter, and the addition of hydrated lime to
the incoming tide to help neutralise the acidic soil.
This vegetation survey is the fourth to be carried out since the remediation work commenced. An
interim report was produced in June 2014. This is the fourth assessment to be carried out since
2002.
Ortho-rectified aerial photography acquired in September and October 2013 by the Queensland
Government provided the base imagery. In contrast to previous surveys, the aerial photography
was interpreted by desktop spatial analysis, with the line-work from the 2009 vegetation report as a
base, rather than as stereo pairs. Field visits were over five days during 2014 to confirm vegetation
communities and re-visit previous measurement sites. The same classification of communities was
retained to allow direct comparison with previous work.
This 2014 survey confirms that many of the changes in vegetation noted in earlier reports continue
to occur. Communities associated with the incursion of seawater and expansion of the tidal zones
within the site continues to increase. Most notable is the growth in area of Acrostichum aureum
(mangrove fern) fernlands (from 58 ha to 76 ha) and mangrove communities (from 38 ha to 85 ha).
This is particularly into former halophytic forblands, mixed forbland-grassland-fernland
communities and areas of former and recent Melaleuca leucadendra (weeping paperbark) dieback.
Despite much of the previously mapped extent of the A. aureum fernlands turning into either
mangroves or low M. leucadendra woodlands it has had a net overall increase in area.
Although there has been an increase in M. leucadendra shrublands, particularly into former
grasslands (12 ha), there are now larger areas of more mature M. leucadendra low woodland and
open woodlands. Intuitively, they are maturing from shrublands of the same species mapped in
2008 (4 ha), but they have also appeared in areas previously mapped as grassland (17 ha) and A.
aureum (12 ha).
The most notable reduction in vegetation has been in the grasslands, particularly those dominated
by exotic species (down by 54 ha) or Imperata cylindrica (down by 31 ha). These have been
largely invaded by M. leucadendra, turning into shrublands and low woodlands and by the native
grass Phragmites karka. Grasslands of the latter have increased in area, sometimes in association
with A. aureum (17 ha).
The dieback of open forests of M. leucadendra impacted by the tidal areas continues, with some
stands that were healthy in 2008 now in decline (27 ha loss). A. aureum fernlands now occupy

much of the earlier mapped dieback of M. leucadendra (15 ha change). The decline of low
Clerodendrum inerme closed vinelands also continues in proximity to the tidal zone, though in
other areas it appears to be recovering.
The mosaic of forest types mapped in the north-east of the site remains apparently unaffected by
the reclamation. This area contains of concern regional ecosystems 7.2.8* and 7.3.25* and a small
area of Endangered regional ecosystem 7.3.6*. Small patches of regional ecosystem 7.2.8* are
found in four other small areas. The Endangered regional ecosystem 7.3.12* occurs along Hills
Creek.
As mentioned in previous reports the vegetation communities at East Trinity are, with the
exceptions of the above mentioned remnant regional ecosystems, secondary communities with
little resemblance to original vegetation composition and structure. The communities are still very
dynamic and complex. Changes in management regime are undoubtedly influencing the direction
and speed of the changes, but quantifying these is beyond the scope of this assessment.

1. Introduction
1.1 History of the East Trinity property.
The East Trinity property is located approximately 2km east of the Cairns CBD across Trinity Inlet
and occupies an area of just over 750 ha. In its natural state up until the early 1970s the area was
a functioning tidal wetland containing seven distinct mangrove communities as well as samphire
flats , chenier sand ridges and some coastal lowland rainforest. In an ultimately failed attempt to
grow sugar cane, the area was mostly cleared and drained in the 1970s and surrounded by a
bund wall to exclude tidal inflow. This resulted in the severe acidification of underlying iron sulfide-
rich marine deposits and the development of actual acid sulfate soils (AASS). Over the course of
the ensuing two and a half decades the build-up of acid severely degraded the property and 3,000
tonnes of acid drained into the surrounding estuary per year.
This exclusion of tidal water, drainage and acidification also produced major changes in the
vegetation. The samphire communities were heavily degraded and all but one of the mangrove
communities (Lumnitzera racemosa and Avicennia marina) died. Many areas that were previously
mangrove were colonised by Melaleuca leucadendra even where the soil pH was reduced to 3.0.
The lowland forest in the elevated north-eastern section of the property remained largely
unaffected.
In the year 2000 the Queensland Government purchased the property and initiated an acidity
remediation program. This principally involved strategically installing several gates in the bund wall
and commencing controlled tidal flushing into the property augmented with the addition of hydrated
lime (active remediation). This treatment has successfully reduced the acidity in both soils and
drainage waters to the extent that in the north of the property in the Hill and Georges Creek
catchments the lime addition has recently ceased and tidal exchange alone is sustaining lower
acidity (passive remediation). In the south, in the Firewood and Magazine Creek catchments,
active remediation is still being employed, although only on the incoming tide.
Prior to the installation of the bund wall the natural level of tidal inundation was approximately 1.5m
above Australian Height Datum (AHD). Following the bunding AASS occurred up to approximately
1m AHD. The active remediation involved incremental inundation up to 0.5m, which is where the
most concentrated AASS occurs. Acid originating from above the 0.5 AHD level is now being
neutralised by natural tidal flow as the overall acidity within the system is reduced.
1.2 Vegetation mapping at the East Trinity property
As part of the terrestrial management of the East Trinity property QPWS contracted consultants to
document the changes in vegetation since the property’s purchase. This has been done by
mapping the changes in extent of the vegetation communities. The initial mapping was carried out
in 2002, then subsequently in 2006 and 2008. This report documents the vegetation on the
property at the time of survey and summarises the changes in vegetation between 2008 (as
outlined in the 2009 report) and 2013.

2. Methodology
Ortho-rectified aerial photography acquired in September and October 2013 by the Queensland
Government provided the base imagery for interpretation of vegetation patterns. Interpretation was
done manually rather than through digital interpretation methods. In contrast to previous surveys
the aerial photography was interpreted by desktop spatial analysis rather than as stereo pairs, and
used the 2008 line-work, as shown in the 2009 published report, as a base.
Over four days in late April 2014 and one follow-up day in August 2014, the property was visited to
ground-truth the new mapping. This included re-visiting sites established in previous mapping and
collecting information at new sites. The data from the sites was used to describe vegetation
communities occurring in the vegetation patterns delineated on the imagery. Due to the short time
elapsed between the date of the imagery used (late 2013) and the on ground site assessments
(mid 2014) it is assumed that the ground data reflects the mapping.
Data collected at each site included the date, GPS location, the structure and height of the
community, the dominant species in each discernible layer and a photograph of the community.
The 2008 mapped classification of communities was retained to allow direct comparison with
previous mapping, although there are several new communities that could not be assigned to
vegetation communities (VCs) described in 2008 as well as some 2008 vegetation communities
that were not observed in 2013.
Changes in the areas of vegetation communities between 2008 and 2013 were calculated by
intersecting the two mapping coverages. The mapping application used to do this as well as
create the vegetation map was ARCMAP 10.2.
3. Results
The new mapping for the East Trinity property is attached, and includes both a spatial
representation (Map 2) and the accompanying legend (Table 1). Table 2 summarises the change
in area for each major vegetation group and each vegetation community within those groups.
There are several distinct broad vegetation groups represented on the property. Fringing the tidal
and estuarine channels there are areas of mangroves and farmlands. In the supra-tidal zones
fernlands of Acrostichum aureum often occur. In more elevated areas shrublands and woodlands
(most often with Melaleuca leucadendra) or grassland communities become more evident. In the
north-east corner the remnant native forest communities persist as in all previous mapping.
This survey confirms that the changes in vegetation groups noted in earlier reports continue to
occur. Colonising mangrove communities have increased to 62 ha (or 300% of their 2008 extent),
and native grasslands have also increased to 43ha (or 114%). While there has been little change
in the Melaleuca dominated communities as a whole (by 17 ha or 12% of the 2008 extent) there
have been significant increases and decreases in area of specific communities within this group.
These are outlined below along with the largest changes in vegetation communities within other
groups. This survey found that the total area of communities dominated by native species since
2008 has increased by nearly 50 ha (or 7% of the total area in 2008).

3.1 Melaleuca dieback
The large stands of Melaleuca leucadendra open forest (VC8) that proliferated in areas of highly
acidic soils have died back even further (see previous reports) as the influx of tidal water takes
effect (Map 3a). Some areas that were healthy in 2008 have died (27ha or 27% of their 2008
extent). Areas mapped in 2008 as die-back (13ha) have now changed to other communities, in
particular Acrostichum aureum fernlands or mangrove communities. Other areas of M.
leucadendra forest have remained healthy and intact, as they are elevated enough to be free of
current tidal influences. The zone between the healthy Melaleuca leucadendra and the mangroves
contains dead M. leucadendra stems and bare saline mud with Sesuvium portulacastrum (VC24).
Given the patterns observed in the survey these are likely to be colonised by mangrove or
Acrostichum communities.
3.2 Low Melaleuca shrublands and woodlands
Despite the continued reduction of the Melaleuca leucadendra forests, this species is still
commonly found as shrublands (VC8h) that have expanded in area, particularly into former
grassland (12ha or 183% of 2008 extent). Additionally, more mature M. leucadendra low
woodland that was not recorded in 2008 is recognised and two new vegetation communities have
been created to describe where this occurs in former grasslands (VC8-13g) and former
M.leucadendra low shrublands (VC8-13s). These changes are represented in Map 3b.
Where M. leucadendra has colonised Acrostichum aureum fernlands, it has been assigned to the
2008 vegetation unit VC8g. This vegetation generally occupies areas that appear to be out of the
reach of current tidal effects and it is possible they will mature into communities similar to the
Melaleuca dominant communities (VC8) that declined due to the tidal inundation. The accelerated
increase in the extent of these woodlands since the last mapping is possibly explained by the
cessation of extensive burning on the property after 2009.
There has also been extensive thickening of woody vegetation, mainly in the central area of the
property in areas which were previously grasslands. Vegetation community 8b, which includes M.
leucadendra along with other non-sclerophyll species such as Timonius timon, Cordia dichotoma
and Terminalia sericocarpa has increased by 56 percent of its 2008 extent (35Ha).
3.3 Mangrove communities There has been a significant increase in the area of mangrove communities across the property. Communities 14c (Avicennia marina) and 14d (Aegiceras corniculatum, Avicennia marina and
Excoecaria agallocha) have shown the largest increase and are in areas close to the tidal
channels subject to increased inundation (Map 3c). These areas of increased inundation include
some of the adjoining grasslands, Sesuvium portulacastrum forblands, Acrostichum fernlands
and areas of Melaleuca leucadendra dieback.
Mangrove communities continue to be a dominant vegetation community along the margins of the
various tidal channels on the property. In the vicinity of Firewood and Magazine Creek the
vegetation community 14c has increased by 32ha (or 999%) over its 2008 extent. This mangrove
community is now often fringed by Rhizophora stylosa in areas of deeper water, particularly along
Vegetation Survey of the East Trinity Reclamation site
5
the main channel. In the upper reaches of current regular tidal incursion, the presence of
numerous juvenile Avicennia marina suggests that this mangrove community (14c) will continue to
expand.
In the north of the property along the perimeter of Hills and George Creeks the mangrove
community 14d has expanded by 26 ha (or 235% over its 2008 extent). This is particularly
noticeable on the former samphire flats near the middle and upper reaches of George Creek,
where much of this community is now populated by mangroves, a process that is also likely to
continue if this tidal regime persists. It is likely that future increases in area and density of
mangroves will be assisted by the regular influx of propagules on incoming tides and the sexual
maturation of the existing community. The mangrove community 14a (Lumnitzera racemosa and
Avicennia marina), much of which survived the original disturbance, has also expanded slightly.
The Holly Mangrove Acanthus ilicifolius is often prominent in the early development of both
communities 14c and 14d.
3.4 Acrostichum aureum fernlands
Extensive areas of Acrostichum aureum, (VC34 and VC34a), were mapped in 2008 where they
had colonised areas of Melaleuca leucadendra dieback (VC34a) or encroached into grasslands
that have become more saline (VC34). These fernland communities have also expanded
considerably since then as the supra-tidal zone has extended into grasslands bordering its
previously mapped extent along all the channels in the property (Map 3d). Some sections of
grasslands are now completely displaced by A. aureum (11 ha). Additionally A. aureum can persist
in areas of fresh water such as in the new vegetation community 26b. Here A. aureum has
pervaded areas of the existing Phragmites karka grassland and co-exists with this species.
A.aureum’s tolerance for fresh or brackish water is also indicated by its presence in the mid-layer
of several communities in the area which are above the reach of tidal influences. Despite areas of
vegetation community VC34 previously mapped in 2008 now being colonised by low Melaleuca
leucadendra woodlands (VC8g) or, in the more tidal zones by mangrove communities, there has
been a net increase in A. aureum dominated fernlands.
3.5 Phragmites karka dominated grasslands.
The native reed P. karka has expanded by 72% of its 2008 extent (7.5 ha). This has been in the
grassy areas along the eastern boundary of the property to both the north and south (Map 3e). It
has displaced extensive areas of other (often exotic) grassland communities. It occurs as a co-
dominant with Acrostichum aureum in some areas, prompting the formation of a new vegetation
community (VC 26b) mentioned above. P. karka appears to proliferate in areas that have some
level of fresh water inundation possibly explaining its predominant occurrence in the east of the
property which is a drainage zone for the hills to the northeast.
3.6 Clerodendrum inerme
Vinelands of C. inerme (VC13) have mixed levels of survival on the property, probably due to their
exposure to the influence of tidal salinity. As in 2008, the area of C. inerme has declined where it
Department of Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts

has become exposed to the expanding tidal zone (4ha or 40% of 2008 extent), particularly in the
vicinity of George Creek and the large tidal flat to the west. Areas noted as in decline in 2008 have
changed to vegetation communities associated with the expanding tidal zones, particularly
mangrove communities and Acrostichum aureum fernlands. However, just to the west of the upper
reaches of the tidal zone of Hills Creek there have been some C. inerme vinelands recorded in
2008 as dead or in decline that appear to have recovered, though it is not clear why.
3.7 Grasslands
Grasslands, both exotic and native, are still a prominent vegetation group on East Trinity (170ha or
23% of the property), and are a common feature along the slightly more elevated eastern edge,
however they have reduced from their 2008 extent. This is particularly the case for those
dominated by exotic species, vegetation communities 25 (Megathyrsus maximus) and 27
(Brachiaria spp.), which have had a combined reduction of 54ha (or 36% of 2008 extent). In many
instances they have been replaced by native communities, including Acrostichum aureum
fernlands, Melaleuca woodlands and Phragmites karka grasslands (Map 3f). Native grasslands
dominated by Imperata cylindrica (VC32) have also reduced by 31ha (or 57% of 2008 extent). This
has occurred on plains in the central west of the property, and, like the exotic grasslands, they
have been displaced predominantly by A.aureum fernlands or Melaleuca shrublands and
woodlands (Map 3e).
3.8 Exotic woodlands
As a result of active removal activities, and noted in the 2009 survey, there was a reduction of
several woodland and shrubland communities dominated by exotic species. This trend has
continued through to 2013, with many of these areas now being dominated by native woody
species. It is understood that active removal of exotic woody species, except for some Anonna
glabra (Pond Apple) removal, has all but ceased in recent years and it is unclear what effect this
may have. Some grassland areas in the centre of the property have had an increase in Psidium
guajava (guava) in the form of scattered low shrubs, though, as noted in 2009, the native species
Timonius timon is colonising areas adjacent to and formerly populated by P. guajava.
3.9 Native communities
The mosaic of remnant native forest communities in the north-east of the property remain relatively
undisturbed as described in the 2009 survey. Some of these are also mapped as remnant regional
ecosystems (REs) by the Queensland Herbarium and contain two Of-concern regional
ecosystems, 7.2.8 (Melaleuca leucadendra open forest to woodland on sands of beach origin) and
7.3.25 (Melaleuca leucadendra +/- vine forest species open forest to closed forest on alluvium
fringing streams), and a small area of the endangered regional ecosystem 7.3.6 (Melaleuca
dealbata +/- M. leucadendra open forest, on poorly drained alluvial plains). Regional ecosystem
7.2.8 is equivalent to VC1 and includes VC4b. RE 7.3.6 is equivalent to VC2. RE 7.3.25 is
equivalent to VC4.
There are other patches of remnant vegetation mapped elsewhere across the property. Regional
ecosystem 7.2.8 is also mapped on a chenier ridge in the west of the property and the Endangered
regional ecosystem 7.3.12 (Mixed eucalypt open forest to woodland, dominated by Eucalyptus

tereticornis and Corymbia tessellaris +/- Melaleuca dealbata, (or vine forest with these species as
emergents) is mapped along the freshwater section of Hills Creek.
3.10 Freshwater wetlands
A small area just north-east of the flood-gate on Hills Creek appears to be a freshwater zone
protected by an internal bund wall. Anecdotal evidence indicates this is an artefact from an early
attempt to deposit spoil in the 1980s. At the time of the field visit in April 2014, the Schoenoplectus
littoralis freshwater sedgeland (VC29) had expanded to almost completely cover the area in
question. The subsequent field work in August 2014 revealed a significant influx of saline water
and the dieback of the S. littoralis. This suggests there is a seasonal fluctuation from a freshwater
to a saltwater environment and the vegetation changes reflect this.
4. Discussion
There are a number of general trends apparent. Some communities associated with the tidal zone
are expanding and woodland communities are effectively migrating to more elevated areas whilst
older woodlands within the new tidal regime are declining. There has been an increase in the
number of communities dominated by native species, particularly with respect to the grasslands,
where exotic grassland communities have considerably reduced in area.
As discussed in previous reports, whilst many of the vegetation communities are dominated by
native species, they are secondary in nature and have little resemblance to the pre-clearing
communities, the exception being the remnant communities in the north-east of the property.
However, as shown by the maps over the last 12 years, the vegetation is dynamic and the current
AASS management regime continues to effect the changes in vegetation structure and composition.
The continuing management of the level of the tidal zone to 0.5 m AHD (in consideration of the
land-use for sugar-cane in adjacent properties) suggests that even over time it is unlikely that the
property will be covered in halophytic and mangrove communities to the extent it once was. The
last 12 years of mapping also shows that under the current management the remnant regional
ecosystems will be maintained, some secondary communities may eventually resemble those that
existed before clearing and in more elevated areas grassland and non-estuarine woodland
communities may persist. Continued monitoring and mapping of the East Trinity property will
document the nature of these future changes.
The report includes a map and legend of the vegetation mapping, a general map of the property, a
table documenting the changes in area of the vegetation, a series of current and historical images
of field assessment sites and a table with detailed information about each site.
