1 Introduction In 1998, the Federal Government released the National Local Government Biodiversity Strategy, which made a number of recommendations regarding the conservation of biodiversity by Local Government. In response to this national strategy, the Perth Biodiversity Project (PBP) was developed as a partnership project between 31 Local Government Authorities, the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA), the Swan Catchment Council (SCC) and the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI). Local Government Biodiversity Planning Guidelines were then developed to assist Local Governments strategically plan for the retention, protection and management of Perth’s biodiversity. Anigozanthos manglesii (Kangaroo Paw) and Conospermum stoechadis (Common Smokebush) In August 2004, the Shire of Kalamunda resolved to participate in a pilot program with the PBP to trial the use of these guidelines in the development of a Local Biodiversity Strategy. The development of the Local Biodiversity Strategy will help the Shire of Kalamunda integrate biodiversity conservation into its core business and provide a basis for strategic, consistent and well informed decision making. Setting targets as part of the strategy will also demonstrate a commitment to biodiversity conservation that is aligned with State and Federal policy and legislation.
