DRAFT South West Regional NRM Strategy – Ancillary Document CCWFH 2011 Marri decline. Brochure produced by the Centre of Excellence for climate change, woodland and forest health, Murdoch, WA. 2 pp. Gives a brief description of marri decline and what the centre is trying to achieve. CFFR 2008 Progress Report – The feral Rosy Barb in Jingarmup Brook: biology, assessment and control program development. Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research, Murdoch University, Perth, WA. Technical report to GeoCatch and SWCC, 10 pp. City of Mandurah, STT and PHCC 2009 Groundwater conservation plan – Operating Strategy. Technical report prepared by the City of Mandurah, Sports Turf Technology and the Peel-Harvey Catchment Council for the City Of Mandurah, WA. 49 pp. Summary of the responsibilities for the use and management of the water resource being accessed by the local government authority, the plan also incorporates major water conservation and efficiency commitments derived from the Groundwater Conservation Plan. The Operating Strategy includes a series of licensee’s ‘commitments’ that specify the water source, water abstraction regime and methods, environmental impacts of abstraction, contingency plans and major water efficiency measures. It becomes part of the licensee’s obligations under their groundwater license. The Groundwater Conservation Plan is a tool that aims to assist local government in devising strategies and actions that will achieve the requirements of the water licence and the groundwater conservation/efficiency goals of the council.

DAFWA 2008 Property Planning Manual for Western Australia. Department of Agriculture, Perth, WA. Bulletin 4734, 71 pp. This manual aims to support the process of property planning, in particular by guiding you through a workshop process.

DAFWA 2008 Technical Information to Support Property Planning for Western Australia. Department of Agriculture, Perth, WA. Bulletin 4734, 63 pp. This manual provides support information to the manual. DAFWA 2008 Managing seasonal variability - important now, essential in the future. Department of Agriculture, Perth, WA. 106 pp. The report provides the presentations for the “AcCLIMATise managing seasonal variability workshops”, which were designed to provide farmers and farm advisors with a better understanding of WA weather systems, climate, soils and yield forecasting tools and how each can be integrated into a versatile management approach that allows for better management of seasonal risk. The document gives a useful overview of these. DEFRA 2002 Working with the grain of nature – A biodiversity strategy for England. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, London, UK. 180 pp. Strategy recognises that UK can only secure the long-term health of biodiversity that is needed to bring a truly sustainable future by also achieving fundamental changes to public policy and in the behaviour of people across society as a whole, i.e. by ensuring that biodiversity considerations become embedded in all the main sectors of economic activity, public and private. Has some good content, e.g. discussion of web-based Biodiversity Action Reporting System (BARS – see http://ukbars.defra.gov.uk/ for details) and interesting indicators.

The Behaviour Change Framework is based on a rigorous analysis of what affects people’s behaviour in the context of sustainable agriculture in the SW region of WA. Behavioural theory and findings on what actually works in the context of agriculture in the SW were used to develop the framework. The behaviour change framework is based on information, which demonstrates that there are preferred methods to achieving change towards more socially, economically and environmentally sustainable agriculture. Erol, C 2007 Increasing landholder adoption of improved surface water management practices – Literature review of relevant Australian studies. DAFWA, Perth, WA. Resource Management Technical Report 325: 37 pp. Useful report, title describes content. This is a review of studies related to surface water best management practices mainly in WA, to identify key findings and possible barriers to adoption applicable to the South West Catchment area. Thirteen studies were reviewed, six from Western Australia, three from Queensland, two from New South Wales and two Australia-wide general reviews. The most frequently identified barriers to adoption were motivational, technical, financial and biophysical: Motivational and other barriers included lack of direction from government, the wrong extension model, lack of confidence, lack of support and cultural resistance to change. Technical barriers included limited knowledge, advice and information, lack of clearly written materials, lack of access to adequately skilled and trusted NRM advisers. Financial barriers included lack of money and incentive grants, the perception that the costs outweigh benefits, lack of equipment and time. Biophysical barriers included variable seasons, poor productivity (because of salinity, acidity, and lack of trace elements), poor off-farm drainage and lack of suitable productive land. These barriers are very region-specific and vary according to production system. Future studies aimed at identifying specific barriers to adoption should pay particular attention to the specificity of biophysical barriers and their effect on land conservation management adoption.
