Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners and CountryThe Australian Government acknowledges Australia’s Traditional Owners and pays respect to Elders past and present of our nation’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We honour the deep spiritual, cultural and customary connections of Traditional Owners to the Australian landscape, including Australia’s waterways, land and sea country.

Introduction The 23 Conservation Management Zones of Australia are geographic areas, classified according to their ecological and threat characteristics. 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.

Zone vegetation characteristics

The National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) framework is a nationally consistent vegetation classification system based on vegetation data collected by states and territories. It provides information on the extent and distribution of vegetation types across the Australian landscape.

Two products are used to provide the Zone Vegetation Characteristics graph. A modelled pre-European vegetation distribution (pre-1750), and extant (current extent) vegetation, which is based on contemporary vegetation mapping. The information presented here relates to Major Vegetation Subgroups (MVSs). There are 85 MVS types across Australia, describing the structure and floristic composition of dominant and secondary vegetation stratums (e.g. canopy and mid-storey species). Major Vegetation Subgroups only reflect the dominant vegetation type occurring in an area from a mix of vegetation types. Less-dominant vegetation groups which may also be present are therefore not represented.

It is important to note that the vegetation information is indicative only, as state and territory mapping in Australia is of variable resolution and scale. However, this data is the best available nationally consistent information on vegetation, and the dataset continues to evolve and increase in accuracy.

Analysing this information at Conservation Management Zone, rather than national level provides greater discrimination for decision makers, as clearance levels of vegetation types are not uniform across Australia. For example, eucalypt woodlands with a tussock grass understory is a vegetation type found across Australia. In the Brigalow Woodlands Conservation Management Zone, eucalypt open woodlands with a tussock grass understory originally covered approximately 36% of the zone, but today it only covers only 14.5 % of the zone (58.7% of this vegetation community has been cleared in the Brigalow). In the Northern Australia Tropical Savannah zone, this vegetation type originally occupied 19.6% of the zone. Today, it occupies approximately 19.4% of the zone (only 2.3% of this vegetation type has been cleared). It should be noted that this data only provides an indication of change in extent, and not vegetation condition.

Purchase high quality remnants into reservation and encourage uptake of conservation agreements and covenants on private land.Maintain buffers of native vegetation around remnants.Prevent firewood collection and bush rock removal.Retain standing dead trees and fallen timber.Do not permit commercial apiarists to place bee hives within 3km of the remnant.

Limit and exclude grazing during drought or when native ground cover is in flower or seed (Spring/Summer).Graze 3-days on; 28-days off in Summer; 7-days on, 56-days off in autumn and winter.Maintain 80% groundcover; 10cm sward height minimum at all times.Fence outside canopy dripline of paddock trees to allow regeneration.Avoid cultivation, ripping, excavation, and herbicide and pesticide application in, or near, remnants.Do not divert run-off into remnant areas.Avoid soil compaction from vehicles/machinery or stock camps.

Do not plant trees/ shrubs into good condition sites, which should be capable of natural regeneration. Planting disturbs compositional balance and natural succession patterns.Plant native, indigenous species only if the site shows no signs of natural regeneration. Plant trees and shrubs at the same density evident in local good quality grassy woodland sites.Use high quality seed, of local provenance if possible.Don’t allow the remnant to become overly shrubby.

Negotiate fire management protocols with local fire brigades in relation to establishing fire control lines.

Maintain and protect paddock trees, as they provide linkages within the landscape for wildlife.If few mature trees with hollows are present, provide both bird and arboreal mammal nesting boxes. Monitor these regularly for pest species such as Noisy Miners and Indian Mynas.If fallen timber has been removed from remnant sites, add coarse woody debris (e.g. recycled untreated timbers) to provide habitat.Likewise, if bush rock has been previously removed from remnants, seek advice about suitable artificial alternatives. Bush rocks provide critical habitat for a range of reptiles that are critical for the food chain.Monitor and manage densities of Eastern Grey Kangaroos.

Mow/slash sporadically and in a mosaic pattern in late summer or autumn.Hand pulling, spot spraying and weed wiping are appropriate weed control measures.Prevent weed introduction through adopting good hygiene measures and minimising soil disturbance.Don’t stockpile topsoil within remnant areas.

Control feral grazers (deer, rabbits, goats) and erect fences where appropriate (e.g. of stock dams, individual guards for targeted plants).Control feral predators including foxes, dogs, cats and pigs.Do not push fallen timber into stacks or windrows as these provide shelter for foxes, rabbits and cats.

Manage contributors to dieback, such as over-populations of leaf eating insects, through weed management in surrounding areas.

Purchase remnants into reservation. Fence remnants and manage public access (especially near residential areas). Exclude access of vehicles and trail bikes for recreational use, and keep pets on leashes.Do not allow removal of fallen timber, bush rocks and leaf litter. Avoid mowing/slashing of understorey to promote regeneration of

Reduce spray drift in adjacent paddocks. Encourage wise water usage in adjacent lands to ensure water tables are not affected.Implement stock management plans for roadside verges and crown land where grazing is permitted.

Ensure local flora species are planted for any revegetation and recovery actions.Re-introduce habitat features (e.g. rocks, logs) at disturbed sites.

Natural fire intervals are likely to be several decades to a fewhundred years. Repeated hazard reduction burns or too-frequent wildfire impact on vegetation health andregeneration capacity. Provide maps of remnants to local and state Rural Fire Services. Manage fuel loads in surrounding areas, to minimise the risk of inappropriate fire regimesaffecting

Ensure chemicals or other mechanisms used to eradicate weeds do not have an adverse affect on remnants.

Encourage uptake of conservation agreements and covenants on private land.Create buffer zones of native vegetation around remnants that are adjacent to development/agricultural areas. Fence off remnants that are adjacent to residential areas and limit access for vehicles and pets.Protect fallen timber, paddock trees and large trees.Purchase remnants into reservation to increaseconnectivity.

Ensure that livestock are excluded from remnants, through exclusion fencing or other barriers.Ensure nearby eucalypt plantations do not impact on groundwater supplies.

Increase connectivity between remnants.Plant local indigenous rainforest species, especially key canopy tree species.

Discourage the use of fire as a means to control lantana or other weeds in or near to rainforestremnants.Plantations also increase wildfire potentials. Remnants can be better protected if surrounded by buffers of indigenous plantings (with canopy, midstorey and understorey species). Ensure that managed fires and, where possible, wildfires do not enter buffer zones around remnants.
