DRAFT South West Regional NRM Strategy – Ancillary Document Likely private intervention if required: xx Likely public intervention if required: xx Identified threats: Climate change; weeds; feral animals (pigs, rabbits, foxes); urban development and subdivisions; degradation of vegetation on river banks; land management practises; fire management practises; decreasing economic viability; landholder succession is issue as next generation leaving the land; government restrictions and controls; competition for labour with mining sector; competition from overseas products; increasing input costs; increasing rates (disproportionate to CPI). Comments: Valued for its food production, amenity, lifestyle, community and social values; some progressive landholders do a great job protecting/restoring; just too hard to stay on the land; expectation of “all-year round availability” of agricultural products in society is an issue. 5.6.1.39 High value agricultural soils Asset value: Exceptional Threat score: Moderate Asset identifiable: Yes, but dispersed SMART goal for actions: xx Will proposed action make real difference: xx Likely private intervention if required: xx Likely public intervention if required: xx Identified threats: urban development; land management practises; erosion; fire management practises; salinity;; plantations; human use. Comments: None at this workshop. 5.6.1.40 Landscapes of the Swan Coastal Plain Asset value: Exceptional Threat score: High Asset identifiable: Dispersed SMART goal for actions: xx Will proposed action make real difference: xx Likely private intervention if required: xx Likely public intervention if required: xx Identified threats: Dieback and other pathogens; pollution; climate change; water extraction; introduced species; dams; weeds; feral animals; urban development; clearing; degradation of vegetation on river banks; land management practises; erosion; fire management practises; salinity; fire; plantations; human use; logging, planning decisions. Comments: Includes the topography, vegetation and landforms that together make up the visual character (“amenity”) of the region. 5.6.1.41 Landscapes of the Scarp and hinterland Asset value: Exceptional Asset identifiable: Dispersed Will proposed action make real difference: xx Likely private intervention if required: xx Likely public intervention if required: xx Threat score: Low SMART goal for actions: xx Identified threats: Dieback and other pathogens; pollution; climate change; water extraction; introduced species; dams; weeds; feral animals; urban development; clearing; degradation of vegetation on river banks; land management practises; erosion; fire management practises; salinity; fire; plantations; human use; logging, planning decisions. Comments: Includes the topography, vegetation and landforms that together make up the visual character (“amenity”) of the region. 5.6.1.42 Granite outcrops Asset value: Exceptional Asset identifiable: Dispersed Threat score: Moderate SMART goal for actions: xx 158
DRAFT South West Regional NRM Strategy – Ancillary Document Will proposed action make real difference: xx Likely private intervention if required: xx Likely public intervention if required: xx Identified threats: Weeds; clearing; human use. Comments: Issues related to fragmentation of these elements within the landscape, need to look at connectivity. 5.6.1.43 Lowlands Asset value: Exceptional Asset identifiable: Yes, but dispersed Will proposed action make real difference: xx Likely private intervention if required: xx Likely public intervention if required: xx Threat score: Low SMART goal for actions: xx Identified threats: Dieback and other pathogens; climate change; weeds; feral animals; clearing;; land management practises; erosion; fire management practises; salinity. Comments: Powerlines and other infrastructure impact on the values. 5.6.1.44 Serpentine River Asset value: Exceptional Asset identifiable: Yes, but dispersed Will proposed action make real difference: xx Likely private intervention if required: xx Likely public intervention if required: xx Threat score: High SMART goal for actions: xx Identified threats: Dieback and other pathogens (particularly on scarp); pollution (nutrients); climate change; water extraction; introduced species (Gambusia, redfin perch, yabby); dams (Serpentine dam); weeds; feral animals (pigs); urban development and subdivisions; clearing; degradation of vegetation on river banks; land management practises; erosion; fire (on water quality); human use (unrestricted stock access). Comments: Refers to entire system/catchment; Goegerup; Water Corporation stopped water flow by 50%; used for stock and for irrigation, also recreational value (canoeing, fishing for bream and marron); feeds into Black Lake so healthy river is key to health of this lake system. 5.6.1.45 Murray-Hotham River Asset value: Exceptional Asset identifiable: Yes, but dispersed Will proposed action make real difference: xx Likely private intervention if required: xx Likely public intervention if required: xx Threat score: High SMART goal for actions: xx Identified threats: Dieback and other pathogens (particularly on scarp); pollution (nutrients); climate change; water extraction; introduced species (Gambusia, redfin perch, yabby); dams (farm dams); weeds; feral animals (pigs); urban development and subdivisions; clearing; degradation of vegetation on river banks; land management practises; erosion; fire (on water quality); human use (unrestricted stock access); mining (conveyor belts through bush); salinity (salty, so not dammed); pine plantations (weedy species); lack of awareness/knowledge. Comments: Refers to entire system/catchment; social and recreational values include boating; no major dams; SWCC’s map may be in error re extent of conservation parks as no private land in central portion; only river in this region runs from broad-acre farms through forest to the coastal plain. 5.6.1.46 Harvey River Asset value: Exceptional Threat score: High 159
