DRAFT<br />

<strong>South</strong> <strong>West</strong> Regional NRM Strategy – Ancillary Document<br />

Comments: All o<strong>the</strong>r shires (o<strong>the</strong>r than Mandurah City and Serpentine-Jarrahdale shire); environmental<br />

officers have a very focussed role, but only very few of <strong>the</strong>m; threats are magnified as little or no<br />

management; difficult to motivate locals; Harvey LCDC not invited to LCC workshop; values include<br />

biodiversity.<br />

5.6.1.21 Remnant vegetation on private property<br />

Asset value: Exceptional<br />

Threat score: High<br />

Asset identifiable: Yes, but dispersed<br />

SMART goal <strong>for</strong> actions: xx<br />

Will proposed action make real difference: xx<br />

Likely private intervention if required: xx<br />

Likely public intervention if required: xx<br />

Identified threats: Dieback and o<strong>the</strong>r pathogens; pollution (rubbish); climate change; water extraction;<br />

introduced species; clearing; weeds; feral animals; urban development (subdivisions); clearing;<br />

degradation of vegetation; land management practises (e.g. grazing); erosion; fire management practises;<br />

human use; economics.<br />

Comments: Valuable as biodiversity corridors, can be used as linkages <strong>for</strong> creating corridors; value<br />

increases with size, e.g. Lowlands in S-J is particularly large; minimum about 1 acre to be of value, unless<br />

has DRF; S-J has rate subsidy <strong>for</strong> bushland (conservation rating, e.g. with fencing to exclude stock).<br />

5.6.1.22 Lot 300<br />

Asset value: Exceptional<br />

Threat score: Very High<br />

Asset identifiable: Yes<br />

SMART goal <strong>for</strong> actions: xx<br />

Will proposed action make real difference: xx<br />

Likely private intervention if required: xx<br />

Likely public intervention if required: xx<br />

Identified threats: Climate change; introduced species; weeds; feral animals; urban development; land<br />

management practises; erosion; salinity; fire; plantations; human use; planning may be threat.<br />

Comments: Is an Estuary to Ocean corridor/link; intact vegetation, Peel Regional scheme picked it up as<br />

important. Has Indigenous values too.<br />

Identified threats: Dieback and o<strong>the</strong>r pathogens; pollution; climate change; water extraction; introduced<br />

species;; weeds; feral animals; urban development; clearing; land management practises; erosion; fire<br />

management practises; salinity; human use.<br />

Comments: Considered an iconic species within <strong>the</strong> region.<br />
