The zones are also aligned with the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia. The Conservation Management Zones provide a way of understanding Australia’s natural environment that will assist in long-term conservation planning and help the Australian Government to better design, deliver and report on Natural Resource Management (NRM) investments, including ensuring alignment of national NRM priorities with local action. The Conservation Management Zones also provide a filter through which to make national environmental and socio-economic data more accessible and comprehensible, and a framework for gathering on-ground knowledge and expertise about the environment. This will improve information flow to the Australian Government about regional NRM requirements, best practice management, emerging NRM issues and knowledge gaps. The Conservation Management Zones do not represent any change to existing administrative boundaries or governance structures, but aim to support the NRM and wider community to cooperatively manage environmental assets across boundaries, where they share common threats, ecological characteristics and stakeholders. Each Conservation Management Zone profile contains a standard suite of nationally available ecological and socio-economic information. We hope that this information will enable Australians of all ages and backgrounds to engage with, understand and appreciate Australian landscapes, and support all Australians to manage our natural resources more effectively. The profile information provides an indicative, high-level stock-take of the environmental and socio-economic landscape and it is not intended to be comprehensive. It should also be noted that, at present, the profiles contain only limited information on aquatic ecosystems, coastal assets and Indigenous land management practices. In future, consultation and comprehensive literature reviews will enable us to provide more complete information. 2 / Conservation Management Zones of Australia, South Western Australia Temperate Forests Zone at a glance Area of zone: Population density: 5,353,845 hectares % of Australia: 3.65 people 0.70% per square kilometre Zone population characteristics Zone employment characteristics 200,000 190,194 150,000 2.9% 100,000 Number of people 50,000 0 otal T er 65 Ov a second language English as ndigenous 97.1% I outh (15–24) Y Employed Unemployed Source: Based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data 3 / Conservation Management Zones of Australia, South Eastern Australia Temperate Woodlands Regional centres Population Top five agricultural commodities Value (millions) Albany 33,650 Fruit $199 Bridgetown 1,518 Lamb $172 Collie 6,994 Wool $165 Denmark 2,291 Cereals for grain $139 Donnybrook 2,236 Beef $130 Dunsborough 1,708 Total value of agricultural commodities (including other $1,294 Manjimup 4,172 commodities not listed here) Margaret River 5,313 Mount Barker 1,794 Climate characteristics* Perth (outskirts) 62,273 Mean annual temperature 15.2 Celsius Mean Maximum of the Hottest Month 28.4 Celsius Natural Resource Management (NRM) regions Mean Minimum of the Coldest Month 5.6 Celsius Southwest Catchments Council Inc WA Mean Annual Rainfall 824.3 mm South Coast NRM Inc WA Dominant rainfall season Winter Peel Harvey Catchment Council WA Perth Region NRM WA * The figures are interpolated 75-year means (1921 to 1995) representing the period prior to the onset of rapid climatic warming.

Fishes of Wilsons Promontory and Comer Inlet. Victoria: composition and biogeographic affinities. Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 57: 143-165. A diving survey of shallow-water marine fishes, primarily benthic reef fishes, was under­ taken around Wilsons Promontory and in Comer Inlet in 1987 and 1988. Shallow subtidal reefs in these regions are dominated by labrids, particularly Bluethroat Wrasse (Notolabrus tet­ ricus) and Saddled Wrasse (Notolabrus fucicola), the odacid Herring Cale (Odax cyanomelas), the serranid Barber Perch (Caesioperca rasor) and two scorpidid species, Sea Sweep (Scorpis aequipinnis) and Silver Sweep (Scorpis lineolata). Distributions and relative abundances (qualitative) are presented for 76 species at 26 sites in the region. The findings of this survey were supplemented with data from other surveys and sources to generate a checklist for fishes in the coastal waters of Wilsons Promontory and Comer Inlet. 23 I fishspecies of 92 families were identified to species level. An additional four species were only identified to higher taxonomic levels. These fishes were recorded from a range of habitat types, from freshwater streams to marine habitats (to 50 m deep).

Whisson1,2* and Helen E. Ryan3 1 Department of Aquatic Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986, Australia. 2 School of Veterinary and Life Sciences, Murdoch University, Murdoch, Western Australia 6150, Australia. 3 Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986, Australia. * Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT – The land snail genus Bothriembryon Pilsbry, 1894, endemic to southern Australia, contains seven fossil and 39 extant species, and forms part of the Gondwanan family Bothriembryontidae. Little published data on the geographical distribution of fossil Bothriembryon exists. In this study, fossil and modern data of Bothriembryon from nine Australian museums and institutes were mapped for the first time. The fossilBothriembryon collection in the Western Australian Museum was curated to current taxonomy. Using this data set, the geological age of fossil and extant species was documented. Twenty two extant Bothriembryon species were identified in the fossil collection, with 15 of these species having a published fossil record for the first time. Several fossil and extant species had range extensions. The geological age span of Bothriembryon was determined as a minimum of Late Oligocene to recent, with extant endemic Western Australian Bothriembryon species determined as younger, traced to Pleistocene age. Extant Bothriembryon species from the Nullarbor region were older, dated Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene.

    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister on 30/01/2013. Approved Conservation Advice for Grevillea corrugata (a shrub) (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Grevillea corrugata is a shrub that grows to 2.5 m tall and 2 m wide. Branchlets are slightly angular, openly tomentose and longitudinally ribbed. Leaves are 40–60 mm long and 50–90 mm wide. Leaf margins are curved, enclosing the lower surface of the leaf blade, forming two grooves with the midvein (Hollister and Lander, 2008). Flowers are white in colour, flower stems 30–50 mm in length consisting of approximately 20–50 small branchlets. Fruit is 7–11 mm in length, oblong or ellipsoidal in shape, hairless and non-viscid (sticky) (Olde and Marriot, 1993). Conservation Status Grevillea corrugata is listed as endangered. This species is eligible for listing as endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as the estimated total number of mature individuals is very low (TSSC, 2012). The species is also listed as vulnerable under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act, 1950. Distribution and Habitat Grevillea corrugata grows in gravelly loam on a roadside in partially cleared eucalyptus woodland. It is known to only occur in two locations, approximately 10 km south of Bindoon (Makinson, 2000). Both locations are recorded as having 20–30 specimens (Olde and Marriott, 1993; WA Herbarium, 2011).
