environmental risk, low cost and a high effectiveness. Chemical and mechanical methods mayinterfere with other values of the area and therefore should be employed only when there are noother viable options.Recognition of exotic species is often difficult. Departmental Officers should be made aware of thenumerous exotic plants, their ecology and possible control methods, particularly those causingenvironmental damage.Statutory requirements with regard to weed control will be observed.ACTIONSAction 9.1.1:Undertake operations within the National Park, so as to minimise the proliferation or introduction ofexotic species e.g. minimise the movement of soils.Priority: OngoingAction 9.1.2:Incorporate into the District's annual works programme and budget the work programmes for thecontrol of exotic plants including those currently not declared under the Agriculture and RelatedResources Protection Act (1976-1980) but considered to be a threat to the integrity of the naturalenvironment within the Study Area.Priority: OngoingAction 9.1.3:Before implementation, consideration should be given to the cost, effectiveness and environmentaldamage of any weed control operation. The advice of the Agriculture Protection Board (APB) is tobe sought before the implementation of any control programmes.Priority: OngoingAction 9.1.4:Chemical methods for weed control and other species should not be used in areas where chemicalsmay have an adverse effect on the environment, particularly seepage or catchment areas.Accordingly hand removal of arum lilies at Ellenbrook and in cave areas may be required.Priority: OngoingAction 9.1.5:25
A survey of the National Park for exotic plant infestations should be completed in consultation withthe APB. Development of weed management plans for specific areas and/or species will beundertaken where appropriate.Priority: 1Action 9.1.6:Train CALM staff in the identification, ecology and control methods for declared plants.Priority: 1Action 9.1.7:CALM staff will regularly monitor and record the infestations of declared species within the StudyArea. Records of all control methods used will be kept by the District.Priority: OngoingAction 9.1.8:Control operations for declared plants within the National Park will follow the guidelines detailed inCALM's Weed Policy and Herbicide Manual.Priority: OngoingAction 9.1.9:Locate and time (season and frequency) burning programmes adjacent to cleared land, disturbed ordeveloped areas to minimise the potential spread of exotic plants.Priority: OngoingAction 9.1.10:Instigate a systematic survey of weeds which are easily transferable by park users, especially doublegees. Areas identified with these weeds may need to be fenced and signposted until the weed iseradicated. Areas include Boranup Beach (North Point) and Grace Road.Priority: 19.2 DiebackDieback disease is caused by the pathogenic root fungus Phytophthora cinnamoni. A related fungusPhytophthora cryptogea has also been found in the area. In 1986 CALM initiated the first systematicdieback survey of the National Park. Approximately 70 ha of the Park is known to be infected bydieback disease. Eighty five percent of the total area of the Park supports vegetation associationswhich do not exhibit reliable indications of disease presence or absence.26
