It is renowned for its high karri forests, diversity of vegetation, the remote south coast, and its topography and landscape variety. The area is highly productive in terms of agriculture, forestry and mining and has been a main contributor to the development of the State’s economy. These natural assets and its close proximity to the Perth metropolitan area have also made it a popular tourism and recreation destination, with it being increasingly recognised as a desirable place to live. The natural and developed advantages of the region need to be conserved and enhanced to maximise the opportunities for current and future generations. There is a wide range of land and water management issues confronting the region. Although no particular issue alone is regarded as critical at this stage, it is important that resources are managed carefully to arrest and reverse any trends of degradation. This Strategy is one of the first regional planning documents to embrace the principles of sustainability at its foundation. It aims to provide the best balance between social, environmental and economic factors. In particular, it has brought together the natural resources themes of land, water and biodiversity, emphasising their interdependence and the need to consider each in relation to development and land use outcomes. The fourth theme of the coast is also integrated in the Strategy framework. The Strategy has been developed with a detailed level of ongoing public consultation and community input. Specific consultation exercises on the main issues and draft strategy were successful with the outcomes modified to represent a position supported by the community. The level of community ownership that has resulted is the key to its sustainability. The Strategy introduces new concepts of natural resources management into rural land use planning and provides opportunities for sustainable development in accordance with community-established targets and best management practices. It promotes a concept of responsible land management above regulation and land use control, a system that can continue to evolve with changes in agriculture and environmental targets. In releasing this Strategy, I would like to acknowledge and thank the study management group members for their efforts and dedication over the three years of its development, and the technical advisory group which provided essential support. Most importantly, I thank the community for its valuable contribution of knowledge and ideas to the Strategy which is a tribute to the efforts of all parties. I commend this Strategy to the community of the Warren-Blackwood Region and look forward to your continued involvement in its implementation for your benefit.

[email protected] 2 Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research, Murdoch University, South St, Murdoch, WA 6150. [email protected] Manuscript received September 2007; accepted February 2008 Abstract A paucity of information exists on the fish and crayfish communities of two major rivers that flow into the Leschenault Inlet, south-western Western Australia. This study documents these communities and assesses their ecological significance. During February 2006, seven sites were sampled for fish and freshwater crayfish on each of the Brunswick River and Preston River with additional sites having been previously sampled in the summer of 1999/2000. The rivers generally had similar native fish communities with four endemic species, Freshwater Cobbler, Western Minnow, Western Pygmy Perch and Nightfish making up 60% of all fish captures (2670) with the remaining being from three feral freshwater and six estuarine species. Two native species of freshwater crayfish were also recorded, the Marron and Gilgie. The endemic Western Minnow and Western Pygmy Perch were the most common and widespread native fish species in both rivers. This study recorded what appears to be the Empire Gudgeon in the Preston River; the first record of this northern Australian species in the South-west Drainage Division, and its presence was attributed either to marine larval drift or as a result of an aquarium release.

Not only is cycling proven to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality, it also helps to create more vibrant and welcoming communities. Cycling can facilitate new forms of industry (such as cycle-tourism) and more generally, it enables people to live happier, healthier and more active lives. Fundamentally, increasing cycling mode share is about improving quality of life – something that is critical for attracting and retaining people in regional areas. The key to increasing cycling mode share is The Leeuwin-Naturaliste 2050 Cycling Strategy will providing infrastructure which is not only safe help inform future investment through the Regional and convenient, but also competitive against Bicycle Network Grants Program and potentially other modes of transport. To achieve this, cycling other funding sources. needs to be prioritised ahead of other modes in In developing this strategy, extensive consultation appropriate locations and integrated with adjoining has been undertaken with key stakeholders and land use.

Mueller (1887) collated the early records and produced a list of Australian lichens, includlng two species from Western Australia which had not previously been recorded:.

A total of 311 sites in 19 major catchments along the south-west coast from Capel to Walpole, were sampled using a variety of methods. New data was collated with that from previous studies to generate 15 species distribution maps. Habitat and life history notes and recommendations for conservation are made for each species. Changes in fish distribution are also commented upon. This study contributes to series of documents published for the purposes of water allocation planning in the Busselton to Walpole Region.
