Site Assessments

Site assessments have been developed for known key remnants of the threatened vegetation communities on this CD.

Vegetation quality assessments were undertaken using the ‘Habitat Hectare’ method.

All of the Box-Gum Grassy Woodlands and Derived Grasslands sites were assessed under the previous EPBC listed community Grassy White Box Woodland. This community has been delisted and incorporated into the broader community Box-Gum Grassy Woodlands and Derived Grasslands.

Many of these sites were also assessed using the flow chart associated with this new EPBC listed community (see Related Information)

Seasonality and grazing impacts will reflect the vegetation quality assessments of many sites. It is recommended that these sites be reassessed at more optimal times (Spring/Grazing exclusion).

Management options generally reflect the known threats that exist at the site and have been developed to provide simple, realistic solutions.

Establishing and monitoring trial areas for weed and exotic grass control has the potential to provide useful information for management of additional sites.
