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, Esperance Coastal Shrublands and Mallee Zone at a glance Area of zone: Population density: 2,921,327 hectares % of Australia: 0.58 people 0.38% per square kilometre Zone population characteristics Zone employment characteristics 20,000 3.4% 16,000 16,622 12,000 Number of people 8,000 4,000 0 otal T er 65 Ov a second language English as ndigenous 96.6% I outh (15–24) Y Employed Unemployed Source: Based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data 3 / Conservation Management Zones of Australia, Esperance Coastal Shrublands and Mallee Regional Centres Population Top five agricultural commodities Value (millions) Esperance 9,902 Cereals for grain $45 Bremer Bay 205 Beef $28 Hopetoun 789 Oilseeds $26 Jerramungup 268 Wool $14 Ravensthorpe 388 Lamb $11 Total value of agricultural commodities (including other $152 Natural Resource Management (NRM) regions commodities not listed here) South Coast NRM WA Climate characteristics* Mean annual temperature 15.7 Celsius Mean Maximum of the Hottest Month 27.1 Celsius Mean Minimum of the Coldest Month 6.2 Celsius Mean Annual Rainfall 482.0 mm Dominant rainfall season Winter * The figures are interpolated 75-year means (1921 to 1995) representing the period prior to the onset of rapid climatic warming.

  • Bennett's Mallee
    Advice to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage from the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) on Amendments to the list of Threatened Species under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) 1. Scientific name (common name) Eucalyptus bennettiae (Bennett’s Mallee) A genetic analysis of Eucalyptus bennettiae confirmed that it is a hybrid between Eucalyptus sporadica and Eucalyptus lehmannii (Walker 2002). 2. Description Bennett’s Mallee is a small mallee up to 2.5 metres in height with smooth bark (WA Herbarium 2005). It has a morphology similar to its two parents, Eucalyptus lehmanii and Eucalyptus sporadica (Brown et al. 1998). It grows on red quartizite rocky slopes and in red loam gullies (Brown et al. 1998; WA Herbarium 2005). It flowers between June and September, and also in December (Kelly et al. 1995). 3. National Context Bennett’s Mallee is endemic to Western Australia, and is known from a small area on the south coast between Albany and Esperance. It occurs near Ravensthorpe and the Fitzgerald River National Park and co-occurs with its parent species, Eucalyptus sporadica and Eucalyptus lehmannii (CALM 2005; Walker 2002). One parent species, Eucalyptus lehmannii, is widely distributed in the south coast region, from west of Albany to east of Esperance. Similarly, the other parent species, Eucalyptus sporadica, is widely distributed in the south coast region from Albany to east of Esperance, and also occurs in parts of the central and eastern wheatbelt. Bennett’s Mallee is not listed under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950. The parent species, Eucalyptus lehmanii and Eucalyptus sporadica, are not listed under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 or the EPBC Act.

  • Vegetation of Durokoppin and Kodj Kodjin Nature Reserves
    II VEGETATION OF DUROKOPPIN AND KODJ KODJIN NATURE RESERVES B.G. MUIR INTRODUCfION Durokoppin Reserve (DR) and Kodj Kodjin Reserve (KKR) both fall within the Avon district of the South-west Botanical Province of Gardner and Bennetts (1956) and the vegetation of the Reserves largely conforms to that generally found throughout this region. Abbreviated vegetation descriptions of DR appear in Appendix 1 and of KKR in Appendix 3. Full descriptions of the vegetation following the format presented in Muir (1977a) have been lodged in the Archives of Western Australian Museum; details are available on request from the Librarian. A description of the road verge connecting DR and KKR is given at the end of Appendix 1. Methodology The vegetation of DR and KKR was mapped at Level 2 of the reliability scale set out in Muir (1977a). Each vegetation formation discernible on the air photographs was examined on the ground; this information was then extrapolated to adjacent formations. Uncleared land contiguous to the Reserves but not included within them was mapped at formation level directly from the photographs (Level 3). Level 2 locations, shown on vegetation Maps 1 and 2 represent 'sample areas' where the vegetation was examined and described using the classifica­ tion shown in Table 1 and discussed in detail in Muir (1977a). The following prefix numbers of the locations represent basic formation types. 1 woodland formations 5 lithic complexes 2 mallee formations 6 breakaway complexes 3 shrubland formations 7 salt complexes 4 heaths 8 other Level 3 locations are shown on the maps prefixed by: W = woodland formations M = mallee formations The methods used in classifying formations, coding habitat data, preparing plant lists, classifying litter and describing soils are those of Muir (1977a).

  • Interim Recovery Plan No. 370
    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.
