This South Coast Threatened Species and Ecological Communities Strategic Management Plan has been prepared by Sandra Gilfillan, Polly Mitchell, Janet Newell, Alan Danks and Sarah Comer, of the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation, South Coast Region. For bibliographic purposes this document should be cited as: Gilfillan, S., Mitchell, P., Newell, J., Danks, A. & Comer, S. (2009). South Coast Threatened Species and Ecological Communities Strategic Management Plan, Department of Environment and Conservation, Albany. South Coast Threatened Species and Ecological Communities Strategic Management Plan Department of Environment and Conservation South Coast Region 120 Albany Highway Albany WA 6330 FOREWORD This Strategic Management Plan is the result of a pilot project in regional threatened species recovery planning, initiated in 2004 by the Australian Government Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA). The aim of this project was to investigate the feasibility of an integrated regional approach to threatened species recovery and threat abatement planning. The development of this Plan was managed by the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in partnership with DEWHA and the South Coast Natural Resource Management Inc. (South Coast NRM). This Plan is intended to guide threatened species recovery and threat abatement in the South Coast Region. It is intended to complement and not duplicate regional NRM planning and current threatened species Recovery Plans. This Plan has tested the feasibility of preparing a regional Recovery Plan under the guidelines for a Recovery Plan under the Commonwealths Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The structure of this regional Plan meets most but not all of the requirements for a Recovery Plan under the EPBC Act. This Strategic Management Plan will operate from 2009, following endorsement by DEC and DEWHA. It will remain in force until such time as it is withdrawn or replaced. A review of the plan will be completed after 5 years. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Development of this Regional Strategic Management Plan began in 2004 with a project team of: Alan Danks Regional Leader Nature Conservation, DEC, South Coast Region Sarah Comer Regional Ecologist, DEC, South Coast Region Sandra Gilfillan Recovery Planner, DEC, South Coast Region As well as the project team the development of this Plan was guided by the Steering Committee: John Watson Regional Manager, DEC, South Coast Region Bruce McLaren DEWHA (formally AGDEH) John Blyth A/Manager WATSCU, DEC Liz Thorburn NHT WA Rob Edkins Chief Executive Officer, South Coast NRM (formally SCRIPT) Nathan McQuoid Biodiversity Officer, South Coast NRM (formally SCRIPT) Neil Blake South Coast NRM (formally SCRIPT) Neil Riches State NRM Biodiversity Facilitator, Australian Government This Plan has been written by Sandra Gilfillan, Polly Mitchell and Janet Newell (Recovery Planners, South Coast Region, DEC), under the guidance of Alan Danks and Sarah Comer. Thanks to many others involved in the development and provision of information for this Plan including Recovery Teams, Anne Cochrane (DEC Science Division) and Sarah Barrett (DEC South Coast Region). The majority of the funding support for the development of this Plan was provided by the Australian Government, with additional funding and in-kind support from DEC and South Coast NRM.

    Interim Recovery Plan No. 370 Montane Heath and Thicket of the South West Botanical Province, above approximately 900 m above sea level (Eastern Stirling Range Montane Heath and Thicket Community) 2016-2021 October 2016 1 Foreword Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Parks and Wildlife Policy Statement No. 35 (DPaW 2015a) and Department of Parks and Wildlife Corporate Guideline No. 35 (DPaW 2015b). This Interim Recovery Plan replaces plan number 52 ‘Montane Heath and Thicket of the South West Botanical Province, above approximately 900 m above sea level (Eastern Stirling Range Montane Heath and Thicket Community) 1999-2001’ by S. Barrett. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address the threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The department is committed to ensuring that threatened ecological communities are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the department’s Director of Science and Conservation. This IRP will operate from 4 December 2016 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the ecological community is still listed as Threatened after five years, this Interim Recovery Plan will be replaced or updated. This IRP was approved by the Director of Science and Conservation on 4 December 2016. The provision of funds identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the department, as well as the need to address other priorities.
