Local Biodiversity Strategy: - Shire of Kalamunda

13.2.5 Yarragil 1 Representation Target
The target relating to the Yarragil 1 encourages retention of this vegetation complex.
To encourage private landholders to retain the vegetation on their property it is
important for the Shire set an example by protecting the occurrences of this
vegetation complex under its own management.
The Shire should therefore increase the protection of the following reserves which
contain Yarragil 1 vegetation complex in good or better condition:
• 33453 - Spring Road Reserve;
• 29107 - Verrallen Way.
Once these reserves are protected the target relating to the Yarragil 1 vegetation
complex can be met by implementing a Private Land Conservation Strategy.
13.2.6 Swan, Guildford, Cooke, Yarragil 2 and Swamp
Representation Targets
In order to meet the targets related to the Swan, Guildford,
Cooke, Yarragil 2 and Swamp vegetation complexes the Shire
should work cooperatively with DEC and other State Agencies to
reduce processes that threaten biodiversity and maintain
biodiversity values.
The Shire is currently in the process of forming a partnership
with DEC to control outbreaks of *Tribolium uniolae. In order to
meet this target the Shire should continue its current practice
and take up further opportunities as they arise.
*Tribolium uniolae
14 Conclusion
The Shire of Kalamunda has the
opportunity to plan for the retention and
protection of LNAs. The implementation of
the action plan detailed in Table 18 will
improve the protection of LNAs in the longterm
and also encourage retention of areas
that cannot formally be protected.
In order to fully implement the Local
Biodiversity Strategy the following will also
have to be produced and implemented:
Hakea trifurcata (Two-leafed Hakea)
• A Reserves Masterplan including a plan to purchase further natural areas and
achieving increased protection of biodiversity on current reserves;
• A Private Land Conservation Strategy;
• A Local Planning Policy for Biodiversity Conservation; and
• A Local Planning Policy for Tree and Vegetation Preservation.
