<strong>South</strong> <strong>West</strong> Regional NRM Strategy – Ancillary Document<br />
Identified threats: Dieback and o<strong>the</strong>r pathogens; pollution; climate change; water extraction; introduced<br />
species; weeds; feral animals; clearing; land management practises; erosion; fire; plantations; domestic<br />
animals (cattle, sheep etc.), where allowed to graze; realignment of roads with consequent clearing and<br />
human use (population increase)<br />
Comments: Lack of public understanding of value <strong>for</strong> biodiversity along roadsides etc. LGAs appear to<br />
look more at safety than <strong>the</strong> broader socio-cultural issues.<br />
5.3.1.42 Community landcare nurseries<br />
Asset value: Exceptional<br />
Threat score: Low<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: Dieback and o<strong>the</strong>r pathogens; fire; loss/degradation of vegetation remnants that are<br />
source of seeds and lack of funding<br />
Comments: Refers mainly to <strong>the</strong> Geographe community landcare nursery; value is mainly as source of<br />
seedlings of local provenance.<br />
5.3.1.43 Productive agricultural land<br />
Asset value: Exceptional<br />
Threat score: Moderate<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: Climate change; land and fire management practises; introduced species; weeds; feral<br />
animals; clearing; water extraction; development (subdivisions); mining; salinity; erosion; plantations and<br />
human use<br />
Comments: Should be protected <strong>for</strong> long-term food production; is part of <strong>the</strong> environment, but can be a<br />
liability if not managed correctly.<br />

Asset value: Exceptional<br />
Threat score: Low<br />
Asset identifiable: No<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; pollution; urban development; clearing; degradation of vegetation;<br />
erosion; salinity; plantations; human use and logging<br />
Comments: Can be linked to environmental education.<br />

Likely public intervention if required: xx<br />
Identified threats: Dieback and o<strong>the</strong>r pathogens; climate change; introduced aquatic species; weeds;<br />
feral animals; degradation of vegetation on river banks; erosion; fire management practises; salinity;<br />
bushfires; human use (4WDs; motorbikes)<br />
