DRAFT South West Regional NRM Strategy – Ancillary Document Identified threats: Dieback and other pathogens; pollution; climate change; water extraction; introduced species; weeds; feral animals; erosion; fire management practises; salinity; fire; human use; mining; increasing kangaroo densities and logging Comments: None. 5.3.1.38 Ludlow Tuart Forest Asset value: Exceptional Threat score: Moderate Asset identifiable: Yes 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; climate change; introduced species; weeds (including pasture grasses); feral animals; clearing; fire management practises; human use; kangaroos (at a historical high, wipe out understorey); lack of funding for DEC; mining and plantations (DECs pine plantations); over-use (abstraction) of groundwater might cause saline intrusion. Comments: Tuarts require really hot fire to reproduce, as seeds fall into and germinate in ash bed where no other competition; only very old trees produce seed; forest now dominated by young trees and peppermints; conflict between need to protect peppermints (for possums – community pressure) vs. need for hot fires that kills peppermints. 5.3.1.39 Remnant vegetation on Coastal Plain 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: Dieback and other pathogens (most important); climate change; water extraction; introduced species; weeds; feral animals; urban development; fire management practises; salinity; bushfires; drainage and human use Comments: Includes both public and private remnants; main value as an ecosystem and potentially as a corridor; also as seed collection source. 5.3.1.40 Remnant vegetation 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: Dieback and other pathogens; climate change; water extraction; introduced species (fox); weeds (dodder vine, pest grasses, fruit trees); feral animals; land management practises (monocultures); erosion; fire management practises; bushfires and lack of connectivity to other remnant vegetation patches Comments: Seed collection source. 5.3.1.41 Road verges with intact remnant vegetation Asset value: Exceptional Asset identifiable: Partially Will proposed action make real difference: xx Likely private intervention if required: xx Likely public intervention if required: xx Threat score: Moderate SMART goal for actions: xx 92
DRAFT South West Regional NRM Strategy – Ancillary Document Identified threats: Dieback and other pathogens; pollution; climate change; water extraction; introduced species; weeds; feral animals; clearing; land management practises; erosion; fire; plantations; domestic animals (cattle, sheep etc.), where allowed to graze; realignment of roads with consequent clearing and human use (population increase) Comments: Lack of public understanding of value for biodiversity along roadsides etc. LGAs appear to look more at safety than the broader socio-cultural issues. 5.3.1.42 Community landcare nurseries Asset value: Exceptional Threat score: Low Asset identifiable: Yes 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; fire; loss/degradation of vegetation remnants that are source of seeds and lack of funding Comments: Refers mainly to the Geographe community landcare nursery; value is mainly as source of seedlings of local provenance. 5.3.1.43 Productive agricultural land 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: Climate change; land and fire management practises; introduced species; weeds; feral animals; clearing; water extraction; development (subdivisions); mining; salinity; erosion; plantations and human use Comments: Should be protected for long-term food production; is part of the environment, but can be a liability if not managed correctly. 5.3.1.44 Tourism Asset value: Exceptional Threat score: Low Asset identifiable: No 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:Climate change; pollution; urban development; clearing; degradation of vegetation; erosion; salinity; plantations; human use and logging Comments: Can be linked to environmental education. 5.3.1.45 Lower Blackwood 1 Asset value: Exceptional Threat score: High Asset identifiable: Yes 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; climate change; introduced aquatic species; weeds; feral animals; degradation of vegetation on river banks; erosion; fire management practises; salinity; bushfires; human use (4WDs; motorbikes) 93
