Section Rec. No. Strategy
Table 7. High priority strategies
2. 1 Implement the proposed tenure changes shown on Maps 3a and 3b.
5. 7 Monitor the level and pressure of the groundwater in Dryandra in order to detect potential
soil salinity problems
7. 1 Protect Dryandra's plant communities from plant diseases and weeds.
8. 1 Continue to control, and if practicable eradicate, introduced species that are damaging or
could potentially damage native fauna.
2 Protect habitats from plant disease, introduced plants, inappropriate fire regimes and
human activities.
6 In consultation with neighbours, LCDC groups and local authorities, seek to establish
and protect vegetation corridors between Woodland remnants.
9. 1 Identify Noongar people having cultural links and on-going interests in Dryandra. In
consultation with these people investigate whether cultural activities, including hunting,
may be appropriate in Dryandra and how these activities may be managed on a sustainable
basis.
11. 1 Maintain and, where necessary, upgrade vehicle access according to Maps 4a and 4b.
12.1 1 Upgrade Contine Hill recreation site.
13.4 1 Progressively develop a range of walks, tracks and routes that enable visitors to explore
the Woodland by foot.
14. 8 Approve only commercial concessions that are reliant on the special environmental
qualities of the Woodland.
15. 1 Issue ten year licences.
2 Produce a strategic plan for the management of mallet plantation areas and the associated
industries by December, 1995.
3 Continue to prohibit the harvesting of Wandoo and Powderbark Wandoo in Dryandra
Woodland. Identify, in conjunction with the local timber industry alternative sources of
these species, including CALM operations in the Darling Range forest belt.
4 Demonstrate how the establishment of commercial plantations of suitable trees
(especially local species) can be integrated with surrounding agricultural land uses to
benefit landowners, the timber industry and the environment.
18. 2 Continue plant disease surveys of Dryandra to identify and then isolate diseased areas.
19. - Achieve effective fire protection by maintaining fuel reduced buffers, detection and
suppression systems, and regular and constructive liaison with farmers, visitors and the
general public.
20. 1 Map the incidence of weeds, and monitor their location, extent, spread and, where
possible, ecological effects.
21. 1 Record the incidence of feral animals (in particular cats and pigs), and monitor their
location, extent, spread and ecological effects. Instigate control measures, with pigs,
foxes and cats receiving high priority.
3 Continue the current fox baiting program, modifying methods in light of new
information or specialist advice.
25. 1 Provide basic information to visitors on the Woodland.
3 Develop and implement community education, information and interpretation programs.
26. 1 Maintain liaison with adjoining landowners, Land Conservation District Committees,
