8. outline revegetation prescriptions for plantation areas which are to be returned to
communities of original species;
9. consider methods of encouraging the development of plantations on private property; and
10. be reviewed concurrently with the Management Plan in 2004.
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 as necessary, including CALM operations in the Darling Range forest belt.
4. Demonstrate how the establishment of commercial plantations of suitable trees (especially local
species, such as Brown Mallet and Sandalwood) can be integrated with surrounding agricultural
land uses to benefit landowners, the timber industry and the environment.
5. Promote within the timber industry the need to harvest simultaneously all timber products (eg.
tool handles, fence posts and firewood) from plantation areas to minimise the disturbance
period of native fauna.
6. Ensure that timber harvesting operations are conducted in accordance with the CALM Visual
Resource Management guidelines to reduce aesthetic impacts.
7. Continue to follow, in all operations, the hygiene practices outlined in the CALM Dieback
Hygiene Manual.
Research and Monitoring
8. Further develop research with the aims of increasing the yield and quality of mallet, and
determining the properties and uses of mallet.
9. Continue silvicultural studies of sandalwood within current plots.
10. Monitor the impact of timber production on fauna populations.
11. Monitor the impact on fauna populations of returning selected plantations to pre-existing
vegetation.
12. Monitor the use of plantation corridors by native fauna.
