The composition of the flora of these woodlands, forests and wetlands was found to be unusual,

having a much closer relationship with the flora of the Dading Scarp than was previously

recognised in the botanical literature.

The vegetation associations of the sandier soils of the eastern side of the Plain have close affinities

with the vegetation of the Bassendean Sands to the west while still retaining a degree of affinity

with the ffora of the Darling Scarp. However an area of Banksia Woodland was identified, within the

metropolitan area, that has close affinities with the flora of the Scarp and the northern sandplains

and as such is a unique association in need of reservation.

Some important areas of remnant vegetation

recommendations made for their reservation. A

Woodland was identified in this area.

on the Ridge Hill Shelf are identified and

rare vegetation type, Eucalyptus lanepoolei

The need for a flora conservation reserve on the Dandaragan Plateau, south of GinGin also became

apparent during the survey.

2- the presence of a significant number of taxa endemic to this eastern side of the Swan CoastalP la in .- the incomplete knowledge of the flora, as indicated by the occurrence of many poorly knowntaxa.

The only other detailed study is that of Speck and Baird ( l 984) on the Yule Brook Reserve,Canningrton, which supports ihese same trends. Nine vegetation associations are described and a

flor" oiSSO taxa listed for this Reserve of 28 ha. None of the associations are directly equivalent to

those at the Brixton St Wetlands which is located only two kilometres away'

These detailed studies establish that the vegetation associations in the the study area are complex and

varied, They also indicate the importance of detailed vegetation and floristic studies in assessing the

conservation value of remnant vegetation.

1 .4 GeomorphologY and Soils

The study area is part of the Swan Coastal Plain. The Swan Coastal Plain is the surface expression of

the phanlrozoic sedimentary deposits of the Perth Basin. lts eastern boundary is marked by scarps

and associated features. South ;f Bullsbrook this boundary is the surface expression of the Archaeanyilgarn Block, the Darling Plateau, separated from the Perth Basin by the Darling Fault. The Fault

is lctually 1 -2 km west of the Darling Scarp and obscured by the sediments of.the.Perth Basin.

North of-Bullsbrook the Darling Fault is separated from the Swan Coastal Plain by the DandaraganPlateau, the western edge of which is formed by the GinGin Scarp.

The Swan Coastal Plain consists of a sequence of allwial deposits in the east, the area of this study'

and a series of aeolian deposits in the west.

McArthur and Bettenay ( 1 960) divided the Plain from east to west into a series of geomorphic

elements each with a iharacteristic suite of soils, generally bearing the same name. From east to

west these are the alluvial soils of the Ridge Hill Shelf and Pinjarra Plain and the aeolian soils of the

Bassendean, Spearwood and Quindalup Dunes.

Since McArthur and Bettenay's pioneering publication more detailed small scale soils maps (1: 250

000) of the swan coastal Plain have beei made by churchward and McArthur (1980). Detailedmaps at a much larger scale (1: 50 OOO) of much of the Swan Coastal Plain have also been produced

by Van Goot (199d), Wetts ind Hesp (1989), King and Wel ls (1990) and McArthur ( l987).

This study uses the geomorphic and soil boundaries of the detailed studies and the general boundaries

of Churchward and McArthur ( 1980) where detailed maps are not available'

The study area, the eastem side of the Swan Coastal Plain, can be considered in the three sectlons

related to geomorphology and soils'

i) Dandaragan Plateau, western margins - the Reagan and Coonambidgee units of Churchward and

McArthur (1980) and Reagan of King and Wel ls (1990).

The of western margins of the Dandaragan Plateau are sometimes referred to as the foothills of the

Dandaragan plateaul For this study thJwestern margins of the Dandaragan Plateau includes adjacentportions;f the Reagan and Coonambidgee units. The Reagan unit of gently to moderately inclined

slopes of yellow or-grey sandy soils foimed from the weathering of the sedimentary rocks and its

remnant literitic spurs merges to the west with the Coonambidgee unit of deep grey sands.

ii) Ridge Hill Shelf - Foothills, wells and Hesp ( 1989); Forrestfield , churchward and McArthur( 1 979) and King and Wel ls ( 1 990)

A narrow dissected strip from 1-3 km in width sloping gently to the west and forming the foothills

of the Darling Scarp. lt consists of stream deposited ioalescing alluvial fans and remnants of marine

terraces. Iniome areas residual laterite occurs on the surface. The soils are moderately well to

well drained.

iii) The Pinjarra Plain - Fluviatile Deposits: coonambidgee, Guildford, Beermullah, swan,

2.0 METHODS and LIMITATIONS

2-7 lntroduction

This survey was designed to give sufficient detail of the vegetation associations, including theircondition, of the remnant vegetation of the eastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain between Pinjarraand GinGin to provide a basis for recommendations on the flora conservation value of theseremnants.

?.2 Selection of Areas of Remnant Vegetation

2.2-1 Soils

The vegetation survey in this study was tied to soil type, the alluvial soils of the eastern side of theSwan Coastal Plain. The study area is considered in the three sections related to geomorphology andsoil outlined previously (see Section 1.4).

i) Dandaragan Plateau, western marginsi i ) Ridge Hi l l Shelfiii) The Pinjarra Plain

For the purposes of this study divisions of the Pinjarra Plain were made based on the detailed soilmaps and experience gained in the study.

These broad divisions relate toa) Slightly Elevated Plainb) Wetlandsc) Drainage Linesd) Lakes

0n the Pinjarra Plain this survey concentrated on the heavier soils, clays and loams, and theoverlying Bassendean Sands where the influence of these soils was evident. Much of the PinjarraPlain, particularly the area between Welshpool Rd and Maida Vale Rd and west of Ellen Brook fromWannamal to Gincin has a varying degree of surfuce expression of Bassendean Sands. Some of theseareas were, on consideration of the vegetation, obviously influenced by the presence of alluvial soilsof the Pinjarra Plain underlying them and included in this Study. Experience in the southern area,where detailed soil maps were available, was used to establish a concept of the vegetation associatedwith soils that had a surface expression of Bassendean Sands but influenced by the underlyingallwium. Consequently areas of the Southern River unit, an aeolian deposit (Churchward andMcArthur), were included in the study and some of the Yanga unit, a alluvial deposit(Churchwardand McArthur), were excluded from the Study.

This pattern of overlying sand was further complicated north of Bullsbrook where the sandy soils ofvarying origin from the Reagan, Coonambidgee and Yanga units occur in very close proximity.

2.2-Z Locating the Areas of Remnant Vegetation

The areas of remnant vegetation were identified using aerial photographs, soil maps and by fieldexamination of the study area. Individual areas of remnant vegetation are referred to as locations.One hundred and forty locations were described.

This selection procedure was supplemented by maps produced by the the Geographic InformationSystem (GlS) Unit of the Department of Agriculture showing remnant vegetation, soils and cadastre.These were not available until part way through the study so could not always be used in planning theground survey.

could not described and only a general description of the location was made. To describe an individual

site would have been uninforma-tive and in these cases the whole location was described after survey

of the entire area. These general description include detailed listings of species present.and

p.U"Uf" vegetation assoc-iations when ihe location is considered to be of particular significance.

Much of the vegetation in the study area is completely Degraded and warranted only a briefdescription forlxample that for Bird Rd, Location 14. (Appendix 1). These descriptions are

included as they give an idea of the extent of the vegetation associations before European settlement

and as such ari important in assessing the flora conservation value of the remnants. Small

remnants of once widespread associat]ons are of significant flora conservation value even though

their size and condition alone would not indicate this.

Areas of remnant vegetation of high conservation value with enough relatively undisturbedvegetation associatio-ns and with a reasonable chance of being retained for cônservation purposes

we"re selected for detailed flora and vegetation survey as part of the Swan Coastal Plain Survey (see

nppenaix j). This detailed Survey will-be the subjecl of a three to four year study from 1990 to

1 9 9 4 .

2.4 Assessment of the Flora

A detailed flora survey was beyond the scope and requirements of this Study. However limited data

on the flora of the eaitern side of the Swan Coastal Plain from various sources:- flora data collected in this Survey- detailed flora data being accumulated through the Swan coastal Plain Survey (Keighery and

Keighery, 1992a, b &c, 1993 in PreP)- Flora of the Perth Region (Marchant et al)- Herbarium records- Metropolitan Region Rare Flora Survey (Kelly' 1990- onwards )

was collated in a similar manner to flora data fol the Brixton St Wetlands (see Section 1.3)

The three groupings are:1) faxi pr6Ua-Uty confined the eastem side of the Swan Coastal Plain and the Dading Scarp in the

perth Region and possibly found elsewhere (see Table 4, annotated with 4# in the location

descriptions)Z) Taxa probably confined to the eastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain and occurring in other

' regions (Table 5, annotated with 5# in the location descriptions)

3 ) fia proUaUty confined to the eastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain and endemic to the Swan'

Coastal Plain (Table 6, annotated with 6# in the location descriptions)

2 -5 L im i ta t i ons

A few locations were not the subject of detailed site decriptions. Private land that was fenced wasgenerally surveyed from the fenieline. Some of the locations were not accessible, these are noted in

the descriptions (see Appendix I ).

Locations that were known to be the subject of previous studies are included using these reports

when they were available for use.

Sections of many locations were under water or extremely boggy at the time -of the.study. The drying

ioils in these areas often support Herblands of annual and geophytic species if they have not been.too

disturbed. Disturbance in these areas is characterised by weed invasion and can only be assessed

when the areas are drier. Consequently the condition rating of such areas is conditional and can only

be fully assessed when the areas are drier. This assessment needs to be made when conditions are

appropriate and can take several years.

Not all patches of remnant vegetation were visited. However it was considered that sufficient were

surveyed to establish- - a clearer picture of the vegetation of the area prior to European settlement- an indication of areas suitable for flora conservation- directions and priorities for further studies in the study area

5.0 VEGETATION

5.1 Catalogue of Remnant Vegetation Associations

The principal vegetation associations in the study area are outlined below. These are considered inthe groupings related to geomorphic/soil units outlined previously (see Section 1.4 & 2.2.1). Theseare

i) the western margins of the Dandaragan Plateauii) the Ridge Hill Shelfiii) the Pinjarra Plain

a) Slightly Elevated Plainb) Wetlandsc) Drainage linesd) Lakes

The principal broad vegetation associations are given for each of these geomorphic/soil units and the

areas considered of highest conservation value on each are listed. The locations being surveyed in

the Swan Coastal Plain Survey are in bold print'

5.2 Western Margins of Dandaragan Plateau

The characteristic vegetation of the lateritic spurs of the Reagan unit is Wandoo or.PowderbarkWandoo Open Forest io Woodland over tall Shrubland and a Low Open Heath or Heath (Figure 7).

Similarly with the associations of the Ridge Hill Shelf the vegetation of th-e Reagan unit has manyspeciei characteristic of the associations on the Darling Scarp, such as Gompholobium aristatum,Aakea lissocarpha, Dryandn armate, Gastrolobium spinosum and Hakea trifurcata

Marri and Jarrah trees are found throughout the unit and on the sandier soils further to the west'form areas of Woodland to Open Foresf(Figure B) dominated by either or both species . At times the

Marri may occur with scatteied Jarrah over scattered Eanksla forming a mixed woodland or as

scattere; trees over Banksia Low Woodland containing scattered Eucalyptus todtiana (Figure l0).

The characteristic understorey is a well developed shrub strata, being at times high shrublandandlor shrubland, open heath and heath. The shrub species in these associations becomeincreasingly similar to those found in much Banksra Woodland such as Adenanthos cygnorum'Allocasuiiina humilis, Conospermum stoechadis, Stirlingia latifolia, Eremaea pauciflora,

Mesomelaena pseudostygia and Alexgeorgea nitens. ln the shrub strata in the Marri and Jarrah OpenForest or Woodland and ihe Marri Woodland there is a considerable element of Scarp species. This isparticularly evident in the drainage lines descending from the Scarp. Characteristic species are'Gomphol$ium

aistatum, Baeckei camphorosmaq lsopqon aspr, lsopogon dubius and Hakeatrifurcata.

Within the Marri and Jarrah Woodland, apparently on patches of deeper sand, the shrub strata occur

as an association with scattered trees, often of a mallee form (Figure 1 1)' This Open Heath over

Low Shrubland is similar floristically to the shrub strata of Banksra woodland, having Allocasuarinahumilis, Catytrix angulata, Conostephium pendulum, Bossiaea eriocarpa, Alexgeorgea nltens and

Mesomef aena pseudostygia.

1 2wilsonii, G. bipinnatifida, Acacia teretifolia, Choizema dicksonii and Hakea undulatum. The TalbotRd Location (Location 86) was particuarly rich in such species, many of which were not observedelsewhere such as Beaufortia purpurea, Grevillea glabnta, and Synaphea pinnata. One species foundat Tafbot Rd, Aristrda contort4 was a new record for the Perth Region.

Nemcia ? spathulatum, a species of particular interest found at only one location, Page Rd (Location30),is further indication of the close relationship between the flora of the Scarp and the Ridge HillShelf.

Marn- Eucalyptus lanepoolei Low Woodland or Open Woodland (Figure 14) was only found on theRidge Hill Shelf and an adjacent relatively flat area of the Pinjarra Plain (Lambert Lane, Location5), included here under the Ridge Hill Shelf because of its vegetation and soils.

Between Armadale and Pinjarra Eucalyptus lanepoolei and Wandoo are confined to withinapproximately 1 km of the Scarp and were not found extending on to the main body of the SwanCoastal Plain. North of Armadale the Wandoo extends further on to the Swan Coastal Plain, occurringon the Pinjarra Plain as it also does, south of Pinjarra between Brunswick Junction and Kirup(south of the study area). The Eucalyptus lanepoolei and Wandoo Woodland have particularlydiverse shrub, herb and sedge strata.

Previous descriptions of the vegetation of the Ridge Hill Shelf (Speck, I956; Smith, 1974; Seddon,1972; Beard, 1979 and Heddle et al 1980) describe the same associations as being characteristic ofthese soils but give less detail on the understorey and its relationship with the flora of the Scarp.Some of the less common associations such as the Jacksonia stembergiana Open Scrub weregenerally not described by these authors. However it was interesting to find that Speck describedthis association in his pioneering study of the Swan Coastal Plain as there was some speculation inthe early stages of this study that this association was the result of long term dieback infestation. AsSpeck described the association it is likely that it is an association that forms in relation to sandysoils on the lower slopes of the Ridge Hill Shelf adjacent to areas of lateritic soil.

Eucalvptus rudis and Melaleuca raphiophvlla Open Forest to Woodland,This, the predominant association along drainage lines, was not found in anything butVery Degraded Condition. A foot survey of the lines may find some areas in bettercondition.

5.4 Pinjarra Plain

Drainage and soil type are apparently the determining factors of the occurrence of vegetationassociations on the Pinjarra Plain and consequently associations are grouped below according tothese two factors. However the whole area of the Pinjarra Plain is so flat and drainage so poor thatthese divisions are at times arbitrary and the vegetation associations form mosaics as described inthe section on Wetlands.

5.4.1 Slightly Elevated Plain

(a) Well drained sandy rises

Jarrah Woodland is the most common association on the summits of the sandy rises in the study area.However the Jarrah generally occurs with Marri, Allocasuarina fraseriana and Banksia species (8.attenuata, B. menziesii and B. grandis ) in various combinations and densities (Figure 17). Marriis more common (Figure 18) on the heavier soils and Banksia and Allocasuarina on the sandier soils.Xylomelum occidentale and Persoonia elliptica are relatively common but always in low density.Persoonia elliptica was only observed between Location 58 and Location 82 but it was also observedsouth of the study area, west of Capel.

On the slopes of the rises, on the lower rises and on the sandy well drained flats the proportion ofBanksia increases to form Banksia Low Woodland or Open Forest.

Dense shrub strata are characteristic of these associations, generally low open heath to lowshrubland with open herbland andlor open sedgeland. Species of particular interest associated withthis association are Grevillea pilulifera, Lambertia multiflora and Mesomelaena pseudostygia. (thiscontrasts with Mesomelaena tetragona which is typically found in the heavy soil Pinjarra Plainassociations and is uncommon in the sandier soils). In those associations in which Marri issignificant, on the heavier soils, Kingia australis is generally present (Location 68 and 73).

Between Welshpool Rd and the Great Eastern Hwy Bypass the various combinations of aeolian sands,sandy alluvial deposits and heavy alluvial deposits at depth have resulted in unique understoriescontaining species that are typical of the adjacent communities with other species normally foundmuch further away, particularly to the north. Some of these species occur north and south of thispart of the study area but the number of these species occurring in the same association results inthese apparently unique associations. The adjacent vegetated areas of the Ridge Hill Shelf are alsorich in these species, particularly those underlined in the paragraph below.

Examples of such species are:- from the sandplains to the north: Calvtrix aurea (Darling Scarp and north to Eneabba),Conothamnus trinervis, Actinostrobus acuminatus, Hakea conchifolia (north to Cliff Head)Eremaea fimbiata (Eneabba), lsopogon drummondii (Jurien Bay), Banksia incana(Badgingarra to 35 km N Eneabba,Taylor and Hopper, 1988), Dasypogon obliquifolius(north to Eneabba) and Pityrodia bartlingii (Geraldton to Busselton and inland to thewheatbelt) (Table 5)- from the Scarpi Stylidium affine, Lambertia multiflora. Calytrix aurea (Darling Scarp andnorth to Eneabba),Jacksonia restioides, Dryandre armata. Hakea undulata. Hakea stenocarpa,Cvathochaeta avenacee, Mesomelaena tetradone and Persoonia elliptica (Table 4)

- from the Banksla Woodlands of the Bassendean Sands: Sossiaea eriocarpa, Adenanthoscygnorum, Eremaea pauciflora, Petrophile linearis, Patersonia occidentalis, Mesomelaenapseudostygia, Alexgeorgea nitens and Lyginia brbata.

(b) Poorly drained loamy rises

minimally assessed, outside

On the poorly drained very slight rises of sandy loams to loams Marri Open Forest to Woodland(Figures 22 &23) is found. The characteristic structure of the understorey of this association islow open shrubland over closed herbland to herbland and closed sedgeland to sedgeland.

Towards the Darling Scarp and south of Talbot Rd Kingia is scattered through the understoreysometimes forming a shrubland or open shrubland stratum. This stratum is apparently absent onthe western side of the Pinjarra Plain (Kingia is also found on the sandy loams with Marri discussedin the previous section). Characteristic species of this association are Mesomeleana tetragona,Caesia micrantha, Cyathochaeta avenacea, Grevillea pilulifen and a robust form of Droseramicrantha,

Wandoo and Marri Woodland and Wandoo Woodland are confined to the areas of the Pinjarra Plainassociated with drainage lines. The understorey of this association was probably similar to that ofthe Marri Open Forest to Woodland, perhaps with a denser low shrub stratum as described for thethe Wandoo Woodland remnant at Talbot Rd. This association had its greatest area of development onthe Pinjarra Plain on the eastern sides and immediate banks of watercourses such as Ellen Brook,the Swan River (north of the Helena River), Helena River, Bickely Brook and the Canning River.The extent of these Wandoo Woodlands can now only be surmised from the scattered remnant treesand the few isolated pockets of remaining partially intact Wandoo Woodland.

The fforistics of these woodland associations indicate a close association with the Scarp and many ofthe species found in these small remnants are commonly thought to be confined to the Scarp. Ofparticular interest in the one patch of Marri Open Forest (Duckpond Rd, Location 15) was thepresence of a new record for the Perth Region, Opercularia apiciflora, Kennedia stirlingii at itseastern most fimit and the robust form of Drosera micrantha a taxon characteristic of the MarriWoodland and Forest on the Pinjarra Plain. This vegetation association was apparently the onlywestern remnant of the once widespread Marri Open Forest of the Pinjarra Plain.

The results of this study indicate that Marri Open Forest to Woodland, was the predominantassociation of much of the Pinjarra Plain as indicated by topography and presence of remnant Marriover much of the area. The absence of Jarrah is not considered to be result of selective logging.Jarrah trees are found to the east on the Ridge Hill Shelf soils and the well drained sandy rises of thePinjarra Plain (see section 5.4.1 a) where logging should have removed these trees if logging is usedto account for the absence of these this species on this section of the Pinjarra Plain. lt is wellknown that Jarrah will regrow from lignotubers after logging but there was no such Jarrah found onthe poorly drained loamy rises.

The Marri Open Forest to Woodland, the Wandoo Woodland and Wandoo and Marri Woodland areeffectively completely cleared. There are no substantial areas of these associations remaining, theseassociations being confined to several isolated pockets and small areas generally associated with thewetlands. No large tract remains as these associations were found on the soils most favoured foragricultural development.

The structure of the understorey described, low open shrubland over closed herbland to herbland andclosed sedgeland to sedgeland, does not conform with some descriptions in the literature of theunderstorey of this area of the Pinjarra Plain. Historical accounts of the Pinjarra Plain referred topreviously (see Section 3), principally that of Fraser (March, 1827 in Seddon, 1972) describethe "...magnificent Angophoras (Eucalyptus calophylla) " and "The Brome, or Kangaroe.grass of NewSouth Wales in great luxuriance "and observations of other early settlers have developed the conceptthat the area had an "open, park-like appearance...with scattered trees and the grassy groundlayer.

t 8Mundijong Rd (Locatioin 23) and at the M 14 (Location 109) show similar levels of diversity.

Another study (Griffin and Keighery, 1989), which included the wetlands of the Swan Coastal Plain,mostly on the Bassendean Sands between GinGin and Jurien,.showed the same diversity betweenwetland areas.

This floristic diversity between wetlands is matched in the study area by a floristic diversityexpressed over time within the associations . The wetlands are very rich in geophytes and annualsas weff as a series of perennials that are inconspicuous for most of the year; for example, Drosenspecies, Borya species and Styrd,um species. These species grow and flower over short periods oftime when conditions are optimal. This may be when

- the soils are just wet in early winter; for example, many sedges, Baumea species-the soils are ponding in winter; for example, Aponogeton hexatapalus, Wurmbea species andInbonanthes soecies- the soils of the ponds are drying, but still inundated, in Spring; for example, Stylidiumspecies, Amphibromus nees) (Swamp Wallaby Grass), Asteraceae species, Apiaceae species,annual sedges, Centrolepidaceae species and Cyperaceae species- the soils of the ponds are nearly dry in early summer;

'for example, another suite of

Stylidium species, Asteraceae species, Apiaceae species, annual sedges, Centrolepidaceae andCyperaceae species.

These cycles of waterlogging and drying and the small changes in topography and drainage within theone location provide a series of conditions that will support a varied flora. The apparently endemicflora of the eastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain is mostly, related to these wetland conditions (seeTable 6 and Section 4).

This diversity is probably best documented in the Brixton St Wetlands (see Sections 1.3 &4.0)

Today the wetlands are the most common remnant vegetation associations on the Pinjarra Plain(Figures 2a &2b). This is no doubt related to the difficulties associated with developing areas thatare seasonally innundated but this is also related to the original extent of these wetlands. Previouswork on the vegetation of the Pinjarra Plain have apparently underestimated the extent of thesewetlands and concentrated on the areas of woodland.

Most vegetation associations of the Pinjarra Plain, excepting those on the sandy rises, are seasonallyinnundated to some extent. The Marri and Wandoo Woodlands of the Piniarra Plain are associatedwith winter wet soils and scattered through them are areas of wetland, for example at Duckpond Rd(Location l5) and the Pearce Townsite (Location 100). All the Casuerina obesa Woodlanos(Figures 25 &26) documented in this study were associated with understories typical of the wetlandvegetation associations, Also the soils of the Casuaina obesa Woodlands were often innundated to theextent that there was free water on the surface, so these Woodlands are grouped with the wetlands inthis study.

To consider the wetlands in detail they are divided according to the presence of sand and clay and thedegree of innudation.

Permanent or near permanent lakes were not studied in detail.

a) Very poorly drained loams and clay flats

Casuaina obesa Low Open Woodland to Low Woodland is characteristic of the very poody drainedloams and clay flats found south of Fonestdale Lake and north of Pearce. in the south thisassociation has been almost completely cleared. The most extensive remnants observed are confinedto the roadside on the Drain Reserve and Road Reserve along Abernathy, Orton and Mundijong Roadsand one small pocket of private land on Abernathy Rd. To the north two pockets remain near GinGinat Lake Bambun and the T/O to Gincin from the Brand Hwy. Substantial, though disturbed, remnantsare to found along the railway line between Muchea and GinGin.

It was apparent from the study of these small disjunct remnants that the Casuarina Lovv Woodlandswere associated with a mosaic of smaller vegetation associations similar to those described for thecfayey areas subject to ponding (see Section 5.4.2c). These associations are: Melaleuca Shrublands

The characteristic associations in these mosaics are:

Viminaria iuncea Hioh Shrubland, Figure 28This is generally over Melaleuca Open Heath.

Mela/euca Open Heath to Shrubland. Figures 29 - 3iThe height variation is related to the areas fire history and /or the dominant species.Characteristic species of this association are: Melaleuca raphiophytta, tree and shrub form, Hakeavaria, Kingia australis (south of ralbot Rd), Kunzea recurva, Actinostrobus pyramidalis and M.viminea and less commonly, but often, M. lateritia, M.uncinata, M. lateriflora , M.bracteosa,M.hamulosa and M. polygaloides.

Mixed Low Ooen Heath. Figures 5a & 32-34Characteristic species of this association are: Pericalymma ellipticum, Kunzea micrantha,Melaleuca species, Regelia ciliata, Actinostrobus pyramidalis, Verticordia plumosa, Verticordialindleyi, Verticordia acerosa and Grevillea species.

The Samphire Low Shrubland, Herblands and Sedgelands are rarely of a size that would accommodatea site description but they are characteristic associations in these soils and.warrant recoonition.

Samphire Low Shrubland, Figure 26Characteristic species of this association are: Halosarcia indica, Sarcocomia quinqueflora, Wilsoniaspecies, Pogonolepis strlcta and lsotoma scapigera.

Sedoelands. Figures 32 & 41Characteristic species of this association arei Leptocarpus canus and Leptocarpus coangustatus.

Herblands. Figures 25, 29, 35 & 36Characteristic species of this association are: -Wurmbea species, Tribonarthes species,Polypompholyx multifida, Stylidium species and many annual and geophytic species of Asteraceae,Restionaceae, Apiaceae and Centrolepidaceae.

The rises in these wetlands are vegetated with Marri Woodland ( see Section 5.4.'l b) on the heaviersoils and Banksia Woodland on the sandier soils (see Section 5.4.1a).

Significant in being consistently absent from these soils is Kunzea eicifotia and being relativelyrare in them is Melaleuca preissiana. Both species appear to indicate areas of substaniial deposits of

5.4.4 Lakes

These are included in the Survey but the vegetation associated with them is generally of of littleflora conservation value even though the lakes are of conservation value according to other criteria.The vegetation around most lakes within the study area is restricted to a fringe of Melaleucaraphiophylla, Melaleuca preissiana, Eucalyptus rudis Woodland to Forest and sedges associated withthem, Mary Carrol Lakes (Location 51 ), Hazelmere Lakes (Location 87) and Lake Bambun (Location124). Two lakes, Lake Chandalla and Fonestdale Lake, have wetlands associated with them in VeryGood to Poor Condition. These associations as described in Section 5.4.2. Both of these Lakes areassociated with soils that are predominantly sandy with intrusions of heavier soils. The Lakes onpredominantly heavy soils are Completely Degraded, for example Lake Bambun

r- off road vehicle use (Figures 39 &40)- repetitive burning (Figures 43 &44)- drainage (Figures 40 &41)- weed invasion (Figure 38)- use as service corridors (Figure 3'l ).

While some managed areas are subject to disturbance caused by- "enrichment" planting (Figure 4'l )- prol i ferat ion of t racks (Figures 38,39,40 &42)- rubbish dumping (Figure 46)- repet i t ive burning (Figure |8)

Some of these activities in the managed areas are well meaning but show a lack of understanding ofthe value and nature of the remnant vegetation.

These disturbance factors can destroy or reduce the density of the critical shrub, herb and sedgestrata. To maintain the areas in Good Condition it is essential that the remnants be managed tomaintain these strata and to re-establish these strata in the severely disturbed areas. Guidelinesfor the management of remnant vegetation in urban or near urban areas need to be established andmust be based on an understanding of native vegetation and the factors that constitute disturbance.

The Serpentine -Jarrahdale (Locations 1 9a &b) and Armadale (Location 41 &l0) Councils arecommended for their efforts in retaining areas of remnant vegetation as designated flora reservesand managing these reseryes. Such measures could be taken for the remnant vegetation of localgovernment lands identified in this study .

In the long term the conservation of these small areas of remnant vegetation will only be achievedwith grassroots community support for intensive management programmes. Such programmes havebeen instigated in some urban reserves such as Point Walter (Melville) and Star Swamp (stirling).Training courses for individuals who wish to be involved in bush regeneration are available at theAPACE Centre in North Fremantle. These courses, although relatively new in Western Australia, arewell attended and indicate the substantial level of community interest in participating in themaintenance of remnant vegetation. Considering the locatron of the study area, close to large groupsof people. such community support ts available.

Of particular significance are the areas of remnant vegetation adjacent to schools, for exampleadjacent to Kelmscott Senior High School (Location 43), Grovelands Primary School in Kelmscott(Location 52), Maddington Senior High School (Location 56), Edney Primary School in HighWycombe (Location 79) and Bullsbrook District High School ( Location 102). Remnant vegetationassociated with schools is a unique teaching resource. The remnant vegetation provides a livingresource for study of the wonder, diversity and management of bushland, an important part of ourheritage. Many schools are running educational programmes on bushland. Retaining these areasnear schools supports these programmes and relieves the pressures on nature reserves. Also, rn thelong term the educational programmes in schools will lead to a better appreciation of the importanceof retaining native remnant vegetation.

RECOMMENDATION 2All owners or managing authorities of land containing remnant vegetation should becontacted with information concerning the significance and nature of the remnantvegetation on the alluvial soils of the eastem side of the Swan Coastal Plain withparticular reference to the vegetation on their Iand.

RECOMMENDATION 3Local Government Authorities in co-operation with the appropriate bodies shoulddevelop a Remnant Vegetation Manual outlining guide-lines for the management ofremnant bushland. Workshops on the application of the guide-lines should be heldperiodically with the appropriate management groups.

6 3 Remnant Vegetation of High Conservation Value

RecommendationCALM liaise urgently with the Local Government Authority andlor land owners to retain and managethe area for its flora conservation values towards having the location acquired and declared an AClass Reserve for the conservation of flora, vested in the NPNCA.

RECOMMENDATION 4lmmediate action should be taken to ensure that the twenty two areas of remnantvegetation subject to individual recommendations (see Section 6.3) are vested andmanaged for the conservation of flora as their main purpose, according to thespecific recommendation for each area.

6.3.3 Areas of Remnant Vegetation Adjacent to the Study Area

The most extensive areas of remnant vegetation identified in the course of this study were outside thestudy area to the north-east and north-west of Muchea.

Much of the area to the north west of lt4uchea is in the Gnangara Water Mound and is under noimmediate threat from clearing.

The vegetation to the nortlFeast of Muchea is on the Dandaragan Plateau and its westem margins andall in orivate ownershio.

Presently there are no significant reseryes on the Dandaragan Plateau south of GinGin even thoughthere are considerable amounts of remnant vegetation in Good Condition extant. There is anopportunity at present for a reserve of considerable size to be established that includes theDandaragan Plateau and its western margins. The loppolo Rd (Location 1 19) and Breera Rd(Location 1 21 ) areas are in need of further investigation with the view to establishing a floraconservation reserve in this sectron of the study area including the Pinjarra Plain to the west, theReagan unit and the Dandaragan Plateau to the east. The occurrence of an undescribed Chamelauciumin one small area along loppolo Rd (Location 1 19) supports this need for further investigation.

The loppolo Rd area, east and south east to the remnant vegetation block south of Yalal Brook, with aconnection to Lake Chandalla to the west is perhaps the best option (Location Map ? ). This wouldcreate a buffer to the east for Lake Chandalla Nature Reserve. All of this land is in orivate hands andmuch is subject to sand mining leases.

RECOMMENDATION 5The remnant vegetation identified on the Reagan soil unit and Dandaragan Plateausouth of GinGin should be urgently surveyed to determine the most suitable area tobe acquired for a tlora conservation reserye.

There are a series of locations identified in the study that still require further investigation or arethe subject of other surveys. Recommendations on these areas await the outcomes of theseinvestigations. The recommendations in this study and the descriptions of the vegetation associationscharacteristic of the study area can be used to supplement the work of these investigations. Onearea, the Pearce Airforce Base is inciuded in the recommendations made in this studv but theserecommendations are subject to future survey.

These areas are- Pr ivate land on El len Brook (Locat ion 1 13)- Pearce Air force Base (Locat ion 101)- Bushmead Rifle Range and adjacent lands(Location 88 &89).

7.O CONCLUSION

This survey has confirmed that there is very little remnant vegetation on the eastern side of theSwan Coastal Plain. The few remaining remnants are small, scattered and disjunct. They haveescaped clearing for agriculture and urbanisation as they were generally unsuitable for thesepurposes being on the poorer, sandy soils or soils that are seasonally inundated. A few of theseremnants are areas that were set aside for a public purpose which has not eventuated, such astownsites, or the purpose has only impacted on a portion of the area, such as rail verges and gravelmines.

There is so little native vegetation remaining in this extensive area that it is recommended thataction be taken to conserye all of the vegetation in Poor or better Condition on both public andprivate lands regardless of the size of these remnants. Such a recommendation is unusual as suchsmall areas are not generally seen as viable conservation areas. However, with the appropriatemanagement, at the local government and community level many of these small remnants canmaintain their conservation values which otherwise will be lost entirely as they are not replicatedelsewhere. lf action is not taken to conserve these remaining remnants the future for the uniquevegetation associations of the eastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain is bleak and all the associationswill be reduced to a few isolated pockets of vegetation facing extinction.

Twenty two specific recommendations are made conceming areas of high conservation value. Aseries of criteria were used in the selection of these areas to ensure that the areas selected wouldencompass the range of vegetation associations characteristic of the vegetation associations that arestill extant in the study area. Unfortunately the areas involved are relatively small.

As a result of selective clearing of the vegetation on agriculturally desirable soils the remnantvegetation in the study area is not representative of the vegetation that occurred on the eastern sideof the Swan Coastal Plain at the time of European settlement. This fact was appreciated early in thestudy and it was necessary to survey as many areas of remnant vegetation as possible, regardless oftheir size and condition to establish with any degree of certainty the vegetation associations thatwere characteristic of the study area before clearing. The vegetation of the study area was found tohave been a complex of vegetation associations that are structurally and floristically diverse.

For the purposes of this study the eastem side of the Swan Coastal Plain was divided into threegeomorphological/soil units: the western margins of the Dandaragan Plateau, the Ridge Hill Shelf andthe Pinjarra Plain. The characteristic vegetation associations of these three main units weredetermined.

Dandaraoan Plateau and the Ridqe Hill Shelf

The vegetation associations described for the western margins of the Dandaragan Plateau and theRidge Hill Shelf were directly comparable with those of previous small scale vegetation studies.Some important areas of remnant vegetation on these two geomorphological/soil units wereidentified and recommendations made for their reservation. A rare and previously undescribedvegetation association, Marri and Eucalyptus lanepooleiLow Woodland was identified on the RidgeHi l l Shelf .

P in ia r ra P la i n

The complex suite of vegetation associations identified on the Pinjarra Plain were related to acomplex suite of soils and drainage conditions. The main associations are:

Eucalyptus calophylla (Marri) Woodland to Open ForestCasuarina obesa (Salt Water Sheoak) WoodlandEucalyptus calophylla and Eucalyptus wandoo (tNandoo) Woodland to Open ForestEucalyptus wandoo Woodland to Open ForestEucalyptus rudis (Flooded Gum) Woodland to ForestWedand Associations, a complex mosaic of shrublands, heaths, sedgelands and herblands.

Three of these associations, the Eucalyptus calophylla Woodland to Open Forest, Casuarina obesaWoodland and the Wetland Associations are recognised as having been the most common vegetationassociations of the Pinjarra Plain prior to European settlement. only one of these associations, thewetlands, is presently significantly represented in the remnant vegetation areas.

Table 2: Vegetation Condition Scale (Trudgen, 1990)

E = Excellent. Pristine or nearly so, no obvious signs of damage caused by the

activities of Europaean man.

vG = Very good. Some relatively siight signs of damage caused by the activities of

Europaen man. E.g. some signs of damage to tree trunks calrsed by rep€ated fire and

the presence of some relatively non-agressive weeds such as Ursinia anthemoides

or Briza spp., or occasionai vehicle tracks.

G = Good. More obvious signs of damage caused by the activities of Europaen man,

induding some obvious impact on the vegetation strucfure such as caused by lorv

levels of grazing or by selective logging. Weeds as above, possibly plus some more

: o o r p < c i w p 6 n p <- b 6 _ ' - - _

P = Poor. Still retains basic vegetation structure or ability to regenerate io it after

very obvious impacts of aciivities of Europaen man such as grazing or partiai

clearing (chaining) or very frequent fires. Weeds as above, probably plus some more

aggressive ones such as Ehrharta spp.

VP = Very poor. Severeif impacted by grazing, fire, clearing or a combination of

these activities. Scope for some regeneration but, not to a state approaching good

condition without intensive management. Usually with a number of weed species

including aggressive species.

D = Completely degraded. Areas that are completely or amost completely without

native species in the structure of their vegetation. I.e. areas that are cleared or"parkland cleared" with their flora comprising weed or crop species with isolated

native trees or shrubs.
