      DBCA South West Vegetation Complex Statistics

      Please note:

      These reports are provided as a historic archive only and are not current. If you have an ongoing requirement to use the statistics, to meet a legislative or policy requirement, please seek advice from the relevant WA Government Department or Authority rather than contacting the Data Custodians listed under Key Information. If you use the reports, please include a caveat stating the following: (1) year of currency, (2) a statement that the statistics presented may now be out of date, and (3) the report citation.

      Overview of the Report

      From 2016 to 2018, DBCA provided annual updates of statistics on the pre-European and current extent of the vegetation complexes of the south-west of Western Australia and are based on more detailed vegetation complex mapping than the Statewide vegetation association mapping. The statistics were used for several purposes including conservation planning, land use planning and when assessing development applications.

      The statistics provided a general overview of the status of vegetation complexes, noting the limitations detailed in the README document relating to scale, remnant vegetation mapping and currency of the analysis. They were intended to be used in conjunction with other information on the biodiversity values of an area and with input and advice from people familiar with the vegetation complex and the vegetation condition of an area of interest.

      For the Swan Coastal Plain and South-West Forests regions, three reports are included:

      • CAR Report - provides information on the progress towards achieving a conservation reserve system that is comprehensive, adequate, and representative (CAR Reserve Analysis);

      • Region Scheme Report – provides supporting statistics regarding EPA policies for Region Scheme areas;

      • LGA Report – summary statistics for each LGA.

      A CAR system of reserves helps conserve our biodiversity. Please contact DBCA for advice on the CAR statistics.
