We are pleased to present and endorse Bush Forever to the people of WesternAustralia as a policy position of the Government to guide future decision-making and toprotect and manage Bush Forever Sites through the implementation mechanismsidentified in this document.

Bush Forever fulfils the Government’s commitment to prepare a strategic plan for theconservation of bushland* on the Swan Coastal Plain portion of the Perth MetropolitanRegion*, as identified in the Urban Bushland Strategy (Government of Western Australia1995). It also substantially meets the Government’s commitments to the 1996 NationalStrategy for the Conservation of Australia’s Biodiversity, signed by the heads ofGovernment, in that it seeks to establish a representative system of protected areas.

Bush Forever is an implementation plan and a whole-of-government initiative designed to identify, protect andmanage regionally significant bushland in order to achievea sustainable balance between conservation of ourbushland and development in metropolitan Perth.Toachieve this aim the Government has committed up to$100 million over the next 10 years to ensure that ourchildren and future generations will be able to appreciateand enjoy our natural heritage places.

Bush Forever is about protecting the quality of ourenvironment. It is also about consultation, evaluation,negotiation, and in some cases compromise, to createopportunities for the shared protection and managementof regionally significant bushland by governments,individual landowners and the community.

The theme of Bush Forever “Keeping the Bush in theCity” illustrates its principal focus. Over the next 10 yearsthe State Government will seek to protect an additional17,800 hectares – this is in addition to the 33,400hectares which already have some protection throughexisting reservation and/or tenure arrangements.This is asignificant achievement and represents 18% of the originalvegetation of the Swan Coastal Plain portion of the PerthMetropolitan Region. Bush Forever places Perth at theforefront of biodiversity conservation planning inmetropolitan areas.

The draft Perth’s Bushplan was initially released inNovember 1998 and was open for public comment forfive months. More than 2,000 formal submissions werereceived, and many more commented throughcommunity groups, government agencies, workshops andpublic forums.Their contributions have ensured that the

resulting document, Bush Forever, is not only a document of great scientific and floristicintegrity, but is also one that reflects the depth and diversity of community views.

The Bushplan Reference Group, a committee with representatives from scientific,conservation, and development interests and expertise, was set the task ofindependently reviewing the main issues arising from public comments received duringthe consultation phase and making recommendations to the Government on theimplementation of the draft Perth’s Bushplan. Their contribution had a significantinfluence on the formulation of Bush Forever.The contribution of government officers,the community and individual landowners is also acknowledged. Much has beenachieved in a short period of time and their willingness to work together to solvecomplex planning and environmental problems has created a better result for theenvironment and community of Western Australia.

Bush Forever is an innovative implementation plan designed to achieve, as far aspracticable, its stated conservation objectives, while also recognising the wide cross-section of views and issues arising from the public comment period. Bush Forever willbe a principal conservation policy and guide for the State’s land use planning,development and environmental management agencies and decision-making bodies. Byclearly identifying areas of regional conservation significance, by setting out animplementation strategy, and by developing creative solutions for individual sites, BushForever will bring greater certainty to planning, environmental and developmentapprovals processes.

Full implementation of a strategy on the scale of Bush Forever will take up to 10 years,and it is now being progressively implemented on a case-by-case basis in fullconsultation with affected landowners.

By implementing Bush Forever, we can achieve the aim of “Keeping the Bush in theCity”, and continue to create a city that is the envy of the rest of the world.

Conserving biological diversity (biodiversity) is one of the major global environmentalchallenges facing humanity. The Western Australian State of the Environment Report (Governmentof WA 1998b) acknowledged that the loss of biodiversity and habitats through clearing, habitatdegradation, human interference and the introduction of pests and weeds are some of theState’s most serious environmental problems.

Australia has a major role to play in the conservation of biodiversity as it is one of the world’smost biologically diverse nations, supporting species generally found nowhere else. Perth’sbiodiversity is one of the highest recorded in any major city, and through Bush Forever, Perthhas a unique opportunity to become the biodiversity capital of Australia.

Through effective environmental planning, conserving biodiversity can enhance the quality ofthe city as a place to live, without compromising the provision of jobs, homes and essentialservices. Bush Forever provides the basis for biodiversity conservation by clearly identifyingregionally significant bushland and through effective planning for its protection, it becomes morea question of where development is located and how it is designed to minimise its effects onadjoining natural areas rather than whether or not development should occur.

Bush Forever is about “Keeping the Bush in the City”. Urban bushland contributes to Perth’sunique character and quality of life and has often been described as “the heart and lungs of thecity”.The woodlands and shrublands of Perth’s bushland, although perhaps lacking theimmediate visual impact of the tall southern forests, have their own special beauty tied to theirdiversity and intricacy of form. An important aim of Bush Forever is to foster a greaterawareness and appreciation of urban bushland, and to develop a stronger sense of responsibilityand belonging by the community through active management to control threatening processes.

Bushland conservation not only fulfils a moral obligation to protect habitats from destructionand save species from extinction, it also protects invaluable resources for education, heritage,tourism, scientific and medical research and provides waterways protection, microclimatecontrol, biological control of pests and diseases, visual amenity, and places for quietcontemplation, relaxation and a sense of place. Every city needs its natural spaces: they areimpossible to replace once lost.

However, Bush Forever recognises that biodiversity conservation cannot be achieved bygovernments alone, with a reliance on a system of conservation reserves.The combined effortsof State and local governments, the community and private landowners will be essential for theprotection of valuable bushland resources.A general duty of care for future generations,partnerships and a sense of shared responsibility are essential ingredients of Bush Forever.

The vision is the creation of a conservation estate of which Perth can be justly proud, so thateveryone has their own “Kings Park” within easy reach for present enjoyment and, as a legacyof our unique quality of life, to hand on to our children.

Bush Forever (the plan) has been prepared with the full co-operation and informationresources of each of the Ministry for Planning (MfP), Department of EnvironmentalProtection (DEP), the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM)and the Water and Rivers Commission (WRC) assisted by their various technical andadvisory committees, combining rigorous research and analysis with an implementationframework.

Bush Forever identifies 51,200 hectares of regionally significant bushland for protection,covering 26 vegetation complexes.This amounts to about 18% of the original vegetationon the Swan Coastal Plain portion of the Perth Metropolitan Region, and excludes localconservation reserves. Nearly two-thirds of this land is already under some form of

protection.The balance of 17,800 hectares, currently unprotected, is mainly in someform of government ownership, with approximately 4,600 hectares being privatelyowned.

Regionally significant bushland has been identified on the basis of criteria relating to itsconservation value. Important among these criteria is the achievement, where possible,of a comprehensive representation of all the ecological communities originally occurringin the region, principally through protecting a target of at least 10 per cent of eachvegetation complex.While Perth is fortunate to have an extensive existing reservesystem, it does not provide the required comprehensive representation of all thevegetation complexes and their associated ecological communities originally occurring inthe region.

The areas selected are defined as Bush Forever Sites, which are representative ofregional ecosystems and habitats, and play a central role in the conservation of Perth’sbiodiversity. Bush Forever Sites may also incorporate associated vegetated conservationcategory wetlands.These wetlands are recognised as being some of the mostbiologically diverse of habitats.

Up to $100 million over 10 years has been committed to secure effective and timelyimplementation.While acknowledging that government ownership may be the mostappropriate form of protection for sites of outstanding conservation value, the plan putsforward a broad range of alternatives to government acquisition.

These alternatives include the negotiation of solutions within the existing planningframework to balance the needs of conservation and development; management adviceand agreements with private landowners or government agencies; and the use ofconservation covenants and financial assistance for conservation management. EachBush Forever Site has been assigned an implementation recommendation that will formthe basis for negotiations and protection. In a number of cases the negotiations havebeen implemented and reflected in the final plan as agreed sites.

A substantial body of measures is proposed in Bush Forever to support the work ofindividuals, the community and government in the protection of Bush Forever Sites.TheMfP is the lead agency and a Bush Forever Office, located within the Ministry will bemaintained to coordinate implementation, provide advisory services and support tolandowners and the community, and to support a Bush Forever Advisory Group and aBush Forever Management Advisory Service.The Bush Forever Office will alsocoordinate the activities of government agencies on Bush Forever matters in liaison withan inter-agency technical coordinating group, as set out in a proposed memorandum ofunderstanding.

Bush Forever focuses on the Swan Coastal Plain portion of the Perth MetropolitanRegion, however, this is essentially an administrative boundary and represents only aportion of the Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic region, which extends from Jurien toDunsborough. Opportunities to identify and protect additional or substitute sitesoutside the Perth Metropolitan Region, to secure the target of at least 10 per cent ofeach vegetation complex, will be investigatedthrough the current review and update ofSystem 6 for the remainder of the SwanCoastal Plain and part System 1 update.Thiswill be completed as a separate program butthrough a similar co-ordinated process tothat applying to Bush Forever.

Bush Forever does not include locally significantbushland sites, but the Government is committed tofulfilling its undertakings in the Urban BushlandStrategy to support local government indeveloping local bushland protectionand greenway strategies as outlined inthe plan.

Bush Forever outlines the strategies for implementation and is an outcome of thecomments received on the strategic bushland conservation plan first proposed in thedraft Perth’s Bushplan document - released for public comment in November 1998(referred to as PBP1998). PBP1998 sets out in detail the background and processes ofthe Project’s development and the criteria for site identification and selection.The term“Project” refers to the whole process, from the development of the concept to itsimplementation.

The objective of Bush Forever is to establish a realistic and timely implementationframework for individual Bush Forever Sites to achieve the plan’s main aims within 10years of release.The format is designed to establish a clear framework forimplementation by assigning an implementation recommendation to each Bush ForeverSite.

Bush Forever has been distributed to affected landowners and relevant stakeholdersand comprises:

FFoorreevveerr??Bush Forever is a 10 year strategic plan toprotect some 51,200 hectares ofregionally significant bushland in 287 BushForever Sites, representing, whereachievable, a target of at least 10 per centof each of the original 26 vegetationcomplexes of the Swan Coastal Plainportion of the Perth Metropolitan Region.The area covered in detail by BushForever is identified in Figure 1.

Of the regionally significant vegetationidentified, some 33,400 hectares alreadyhave some protection through existingreservations and/or tenure arrangements.Of the unprotected sites, an estimated9% per cent is privately owned withinland zoned Rural (approx. 4,270hectares), Urban, Urban Deferred orIndustrial (approx. 330 hectares) underthe Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS).The remaining 13,200 hectares is ownedby governments at the State,Commonwealth or local level, and mostof this is zoned for Public Purposes in theMRS.

The Project as a whole and Bush Foreverare a whole-of-government initiatives thatcombine the results of several researchprograms: the Ministry for Planning’s PerthEnvironment Project (Connell 1995), theSystem 6 Update Program (DEP1996),CALM’s regional biological surveys, andwetlands mapping and evaluation work bythe WRC. Bush Forever identifies areas ofregionally significant bushland as BushForever Sites and recommends howthese areas should be conserved andmanaged to provide, as far as possible, acomprehensive and adequaterepresentation of the original biodiversityof the Swan Coastal Plain portion of thePerth Metropolitan Region.

For the purposes of Bush Forever,bushland is defined as “land on which

there is vegetation which is either aremainder of the natural vegetation of

the land, or, if altered, is stillrepresentative of the structure and

floristics of the natural vegetation, andprovides the necessary habitat for

native fauna” (after Keighery, BJ, andGray 1993, and Connell 1995, adaptedfrom the Government of New SouthWales State Environmental Planning

Policy No.19 - Bushland in UrbanAreas).

Of the 26 vegetation complexes in thePerth Metropolitan Region, sevencurrently fall below the minimum 10 percent target retention aimed at by BushForever.These are mainly in thehistorically highly cleared areas on theeastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain.Map 2 highlights the remaining bushlandwithin each of the 26 vegetationcomplexes.Where more than 10 percent currently remains, Bush Forever willsecure the target10 per cent in all butthree complexes (see Table 4) wherepast commitments and approvals reducethe area available for conservation.However, there may be opportunitiesoutside the Perth Metropolitan Region tosecure additional or substitute sites.

Bush Forever is the primary mechanismfor implementing the Government’scommitment to conserve regionallysignificant bushland in Perth. It replacesthe System 6 recommendations for theSwan Coastal Plain portion of the PerthMetropolitan Region. Successfulimplementation of the plan willcontribute significantly to the

About 12 per cent of the Swan CoastalPlain portion of the Perth MetropolitanRegion is reserved for Parks andRecreation (see Map 3).These reservesinclude active recreation areas but do notinclude some areas of the CALMmanaged estate (which includes StateForest) and local conservation reserves,which together would bring the totalreserved portion up to more than 25 percent and substantially more for the widerPerth Metropolitan Region.

Bush Forever builds on the existingconservation estate in its identification ofregionally significant vegetationrecommended for protection.This hasresulted in most Bush Forever Sitesalready being afforded a level ofprotection through reservation for Parksand Recreation under the MRS and/orreservation and vesting with the NationalParks and Nature Conservation Authority(NPNCA - now known as theConservation Commission of WesternAustralia.

Compared with other cities in Australia,Perth has an enviable record ofconservation and an extensiveconservation reserve system. For morethan 30 years the State’s planningauthorities (now the WAPC) have steadilyreserved and acquired lands throughreservation for Parks and Recreation inthe MRS (established in 1963) and theMetropolitan Region Improvement Fund(MRIF), which is administered by theWAPC.The development of this reserve

The criteria for the selection of regionallysignificant bushland areas are as follows:

� Representation of ecologicalcommunities: a number of areasselected to represent the range ofecological communities and theplaces in which these communitiesmerge.

The lake and fringing Melaleuca

Woodlands and Sedgelands in

the Denis De Young Reserve

(part of Bush Forever Site 344).



� Diversity: areas with a high diversityof flora and/or fauna species orcommunities in close association.

� Rarity: areas containing rare orthreatened communities or species,or species of restricted distribution.

� Maintaining ecological systems ornatural processes: maintenance ofecological processes or naturalsystems at a regional or nationalscale.

� Scientific or evolutionary importance:areas containing evidence ofevolutionary processes either asfossilised material or as relict speciesand areas containing unusual orimportant geomorphological orgeological sites. Areas of recognisedscientific and educational interest asreference sites or as examples ofimportant environmental processesat work.

� General criteria for the protection ofwetland, streamline, and estuarinefringing vegetation and coastalvegetation: conservation categorywetlands, including fringing vegetationand associated upland vegetation.Coastal vegetation within theaccepted coastal management zone.

� Criteria not relevant todetermination of regional significance,but which may be applied whenevaluating areas having similar values.Attributes, which taken alone do notestablish regional significance, butwhich can add to the value ofbushland and enhance itscontribution to Bush Forever. Forexample: landscape or historicalvalues.

Criteria for the selection of areas weredeveloped in accordance with the UrbanBushland Strategy through the UrbanBushland Advisory Group (UBAG) andthe System 6 Update Program(DEP1996). UBAG includedrepresentatives of the Urban BushlandCouncil, local government and thedevelopment industry to ensure theeffective consideration of the range ofcommunity concerns.The System 6Update Program involved input from awide range of government agencies, thecommunity and local government.

A further refinement of the Bush ForeverSite selection process was undertakenwith regard to wider social and economicvalues of a particular land or resource,including land use zoning and the widerfinancial considerations of government.No categories of land were automaticallyexcluded from consideration, but wherelands were significantly constrained byexisting zoning or development approvals,alternative choices were made wherepossible.

Volume 2 details the application of theselection criteria and the information usedin applying them.

The draft PBP 1998 (1998a) was releasedfor public comment from 29 November1998 to 30 April 1999. PBP1998comprised two volumes:Volume 1(overview and general policyrecommendations), and Volume 2 Parts A,B and C (technical information, site mapsand Bushplan Site details). Every known

affected landowner was sent a copy ofVolume 1 and the relevant extracts fromthe technical information in Volume 2.Personal contact was made with as manylandowners as possible, and meetings andsite visits were undertaken, wherepossible. This process will continuethrough the life of the plan. More than2,000 submissions were received, includingmultiple letters and petitions and 670individual submissions.

The public comment period and beyondallowed for the boundaries and thecondition of Bush Forever Sites to be

verified in liaison with affectedlandowners, where possible.Implementation mechanisms were alsodiscussed in the context of existing andintended uses for the land and itsparticular conservation values. Someboundary adjustments, site deletions andadditional sites as a result of submissions,site visits or planning negotiations arereflected on the implementation maps.Further assessment of public submissions,

boundary verification and theimplementation of site protectionmeasures is an ongoing process that islikely to continue for several years.

Of the 670 individual submissions, 53 percent actively supported the draft PBP1998 and only 19 per cent objected; theremainder raised issues requiringclarification but did not express a view onthe draft PBP 1998 as a whole.

The Government also established aBushplan Reference Group as anindependent, non-government advisorybody. It included representatives fromscientific, conservation and developmentinterests and expertise.The role of thegroup was to advise the Government on

the completion and implementationrequirements for the draft PBP 1998through an analysis of the key issuesraised during the public submissionperiod.This included briefings and a publicworkshop in March 1999 attended by 80delegates.The group took into accountsubmissions, the results of the workshopand discussions when it made itsrecommendations to the Ministers forPlanning, the Environment and WaterResources.The Bushplan ReferenceGroup endorsed the concept of theProject.

All Bush Forever Sites or parts thereofare described in Table 3 of thisdocument (Bush Forever SiteImplementation Recommendations)and in Volume 2: Directory of BushForever Sites. Bush Forever Siteboundaries are shown on Map 1 andthe Detailed Site Maps at the rear ofthis document. Areas with someexisting protection, or thoserecommended for protection underBush Forever, are distinguishedindividually or grouped.

Apart from the site selection criteriaidentified earlier, other factors takeninto account in determining BushForever Site boundaries includeconsiderations of management,cadastral and ownership boundariesand the grouping of regionallysignificant bushland for descriptivepurposes. For these reasons, someBush Forever Site boundaries includenon-bushland areas.These are not,except in a few rare cases, intendedto be protected under Bush Forever.Their function is to bring otherwiseisolated fragmented areas intocoherent units for the purposes ofmanagement, land use planning andfor describing shared natural values.

A principal objective of Bush Foreveris to provide a guide to siteimplementation for landowners,developers and the community byclearly distinguishing the individual lotsof each Bush Forever Site and their

associated site implementationrecommendation.

The vegetation and wetland mappingon which the plan is based isprincipally derived from theinterpretation of aerial photographs,satellite images, where possibleconfirmed through field surveysundertaken before and after therelease of the draft PBP1998.Themost recent information available togovernment has been used for thispurpose, and reinterpretation hasbeen made as fresh data comes tohand.

However, the boundaries of someareas to be protected may requirefurther on-site verification andconfirmation in consultation withaffected landowners during theimplementation phase of the plan, andmay also require adjustments in linewith the site implementationrecommendation or attendantprocesses.This will apply mainly tothose areas where an agreed outcomehas not been reached or an adequatefield survey has not been undertakenprior to the finalisation of BushForever. Periodic audits of the plan,identifying additions or deletions madein the course of implementation, willbe undertaken and the results madeavailable to the public.

Protection is defined as “all of the processes of ensuring thecontinued existence and viability of

bushland, and may include preservation, maintenance and

restoration”.

Experience at the State, national andinternational level shows that acquisitionby government alone may not meet theobjectives of achieving a conservationsystem that is, as far as achievable,comprehensive, adequate and

representative of the ecologicalcommunities of a region. In recent years,additions to the metropolitan open spacesystem have seen the financial liability ofthe MRIF (administered by the WAPC)climb to such a level that it can now onlycommit resources to reserving and

acquiring areas of highest conservationand recreation value and lands which givethe community the best results forconservation. Furthermore, no singleconservation agency such as CALM willbe able to effectively manage a large

number of smallconservation reserves. Inlight of this, thedevelopment of a range

of “off-reserve” conservation initiatives toencourage private land management iscentral to the success of Bush Forever.

Conservation initiatives currently beingdeveloped include:

� Retaining land in private or localgovernment ownership, withconservation managementagreements or legally binding nature conservation covenantsarranged through public andprivate conservation agencies(particularly applicable in regionswith fragmented landholdings,where there are small remnants ofbushland and where public accessis not a priority).

� Establishment of a suite ofcomplementary”‘off-reserve”mechanisms for lands zoned Ruralin the MRS.These include formaland informal land managementagreements, assistance, advice andfinancial incentives; local townplanning schemes (TPS) provisionsand controls; and rural negotiatedplanning solutions.

� Negotiated Planning Solutions forlands zoned other than Rural in theMRS and/or local TPS or with priorapprovals and commitments formore intensive development.

� Reservation and acquisition by theGovernment of Bush Forever Siteswith the best conservationoutcome or which require strategicmanagement.

Details of the application, objectives,mechanisms and implementationguidelines/actions for these initiatives aregiven in the Bush Forever SiteImplementation Guidelines - SummaryTable (Table 2); more detailed discussionis provided in the complementary set ofPractice Notes (Appendix 3 - boundseparately and available upon request).

A fundamental objective of Bush Foreveris to bring greater certainty to theprocess of land use planning through theearly identification and protection ofregionally significant bushland areas. BushForever therefore includes a siteimplementation recommendation for eachBush Forever Site, developed from a widerange of implementation options for theprotection of regionally significantvegetation.These options apply principallyto sites that are currently unprotected.Implementation of the plan will need tobe approached with sensitivity, flexibilityand a preparedness to compromise if the

best and most reasonable outcomes forboth conservation and the landowner areto be achieved.There may need to beadjustments to individual siterecommendations on a case-by-case basisin light of new information and changingcircumstances.

Bush Forever Site recommendations areshown on the Map 1 (Bush Forever

Implementation Plan), in the DetailedSite Maps and in Table 3. The

recommendations are generally areflection of existing land use zonings,

approvals, ownership and currentplanning initiatives to protect sites.

NPS mainly apply to lands zonedother than Rural (approximately 650hectares, of which 400 hectares areprivately owned) or lands earmarkedfor development through approvedplanning processes. A number ofnegotiated outcomes have beenagreed with government agencyofficers and are reflected in BushForever. Further NPS will involve thedevelopment of planning and designsolutions in consultation withlandowners to achieve Bush Foreverobjectives, while still allowing somedevelopment to proceed. Solutionsmay include the use of structureplanning, guided developmentschemes, subdivision and developmentcontrols and density trade-offs.Where


several landowners are involved,strategic solutions through structureplanning and land co-ordination is anappropriate mechanism to ensure anequitable distribution of open space.

To enable the development of anarea, developers will be encouragedto develop innovative design solutionsthat retain core conservation valuesand threatened ecologicalcommunities and provide anappropriate development andbushland interface, with Bush ForeverSites being seen as part of theessential environmental infrastructureto enable an area to be developed.The Ministry for Planning, in liaisonwith other key agencies, will developbest practice performance criteria fordesign solutions through bushland-sensitive design guidelines, which willassist developers in understandingimplementation parameters. As aninterim guide, the Practice Notes(Appendix 3) provide performanceand design criteria to give landownersan early indication of the desiredapproach for urban and ruralsubdivision.

Regionally significant vegetation willgenerally be secured for conservationover and above the normal 10 percent public open space requirement,which is usually a recreationcomponent.

Types of NPS included in the siterecommendations and shown on theimplementation plans and more fullydescribed in the Bush Forever SiteImplementation Guidelines SummaryTable (Table 2) and Practice Notes(Appendix 3), can be summarised asfollows:

Urban, Urban Deferred and IndustrialNPS.� To maximise bushland retention for

22..22..11..22 CCoommpplleemmeennttaarryyMMeecchhaanniissmmss

Complementary mechanisms applyprimarily to rural areas (approximately2,990 hectares, a majority of whichwill be in private ownership) and willinvolve individually tailoredagreements between landowners andgovernment.They may includestatutory conservation land covenants,management agreements, assistanceand advice.The focus is onencouraging private land managementto achieve the protection of bushlandvalues.

Some financial incentives for privateland management for conservation areavailable through schemes run byCALM, the National Trust and the


Commonwealth (Natural HeritageTrust). Local rate and State land taxincentives may also apply where landis protected. Use of these measures isstrongly supported by Bush Forever toassist private land management forconservation.The Bush BrokersProject is also being promoted by theReal Estate Institute of WA inpartnership with the Soil and LandConservation Council and the WorldWide Fund for Nature.This schemehas the objective of connecting sellersof bushland with buyers interested inbushland conservation.

Rural negotiated planning outcomeswhich achieve a reasonable outcomecould apply in some situations such as:

� Land zoned Rural in the MRS butidentified through approvedplanning and environmentalprocesses for rural livingsubdivision.

� Particular rural uses which achievea compatible conservationoutcome.

� A new proposal that achievesbushland-sensitive development orsubdivision for conservation, suchas large bush blocks or clusterdevelopment with associatedstatutory conservation covenants.

Rural negotiated outcomes will besubject to normal planning andenvironmental considerations andshould be complemented by TPSbushland protection zoning or SpecialControl Areas and statutoryconservation covenants.

Where a private landowner does notwish to manage his land forconservation and where appropriate,a Bush Forever Site on private land

may be protected by governmentpurchasing the site (or part thereof)within the normal scope of theadministration of the MRIF and, wherethese lands are not intended to beretained as a Crown Reserve, they canbe covenanted and re-sold to aprivate owner who is willing andcapable of managing the site forconservation purposes. In some cases,the land may be re-configured tooptimise the conservationmanagement of the land or toseparate cleared areas from theconservation component.Theallowance of some minimal use suchas a building envelope for livingpurposes is likely to be important toenable such covenanted areas to beprivately managed and attractive inthe market place.

In addition to MRIF being involved inthe transferring of land as describedabove, there will be other possibilitiesfor the implementation of BushForever in this way, supported byother programs and funded by theCommonwealth or private sourcesand should be pursued.

22..22..11..33 RReesseerrvvaattiioonn MRS Reservation is recommended forBush Forever Sites proposed for Parksand Recreation reservation on Map 1(see also Table 3 and the Detailed SiteMaps).This amounts to more than2,400 hectares of land.These sites aregenerally of a very high conservationvalue. Reservation criteria are fullyexplained in the Practice Notes(Appendix 3).

In identifying sites to be reserved,other planning considerations and thefinancial resources of the MRIF needto be taken into account. Funding for


the acquisition of lands reservedunder the MRS comes from MRIF,which is a special fund supplied bydeveloper contributions andadministered by the WAPC. Up to$100 million over 10 years has beenallocated to the achievement of BushForever by Government throughMRIF. Subject to detailed boundarydefinition, MRS Amendments toreserve affected areas for Parks andRecreation purposes will be initiatedand, once reserved, lands will beprogressively acquired subject to theavailability of funds. Once acquiredthese lands will generally be reservedfor conservation purposes inaccordance with the LandAdministration Act 1997 and the CALMAct 1985. In some cases, the localgovernment may be the appropriatemanagement body.

Some government Crown Reservesare identified for Parks and Recreationbut are not intended to be acquired.This category relates to lands that are,in many cases, already set aside andmanaged for conservation purposesand vested with government agencies,some of which may also be localgovernment reserves. Assigning theselands for Parks and Recreation seeksto formally recognise theirconservation values at the regionalplanning level, while also ensuringconsistency in decision-makingthrough the WAPC. Futuredevelopment in accordance with theCrown Reserves existing purpose andintent will need to considerconservation objectives.

In seeking to implement currentbiodiversity conservation policy usingnew, more comprehensive knowledgeof regional vegetation patterns, BushForever has inevitably identified somelands previously designated for publicinfrastructure, service requirementsand other broader community needs.Important among these aregovernment lands (including landowned freehold or vested CrownReserves) for the provision of futureroads, water supplies and otherinfrastructure, and areas supplyingessential resources such as basic rawmaterials, and providing for socialneeds such as low-cost housing,serviced industrial land andcemeteries. For theses constrainedareas, especially basic raw materialsand cemeteries, there will need to bean element of negotiation,consideration of potential alternativesand compromise on both sides to getthe best outcomes. Bush Foreverrecognises these needs and in itsimplementation is committed to closeliaison with the relevant bodies toachieve the best possible and mostreasonable outcomes for thecommunity and the environment.

Creeklines are a special category sincethey are by their nature linear and cantraverse a variety of ownership andland use categories.They are likely toinclude protected and unprotectedbushland, land covered by local orregional reserves, or private lands withvarying degrees of planning andenvironmental controls.Theirprotection is essentially a matter forother government processes and


policy initiatives. Bush Forevercomplements and reinforces theseinitiatives and some regional creeklinesare identified as Bush Forever Sites inrecognition of their regional ecologicalfunctions.

For all of the above circumstances,Bush Forever Sites are covered underthe following groupings in Table 3, anda further discussion on the objectivesfor these sites is presented in thePractice Notes (Appendix 3):

The implementation of Bush Foreverwill require the coordinated actions ofthe key government agencies andmany other agencies, stakeholders andthe community.

The MfP has many of the statutoryroles and responsibilities relating tothe plan and is recognised as the leadco-ordination and implementationagency. A Bush Forever Office, locatedwithin the MfP, will be maintained andhave dedicated staff and a full-timecoordinator to facilitate a one-stop-shop process and effective interactionwith government agencies, landownersand the broader community. It will beresponsible for the detailedimplementation of the Bush ForeverAction Program (Table 1).

The Bush Forever Office will also,through a memorandum ofunderstanding (MOU), facilitatecoordination of the statutory rolesand responsibilities of the MfP, DEP,WRC and CALM in theimplementation of Bush Forever.Thiswill be facilitated by an inter-agency

technical co-ordinating group(providing technical officer-level adviceand involving key agencies), chaired bythe Bush Forever Office.The BushForever Office and the inter-agencytechnical coordinating group memberswill be responsible for advising theirrespective agencies on mattersrelating to Bush Forever.

To facilitate greater coordination ofresources, speedy implementation,transparency and accountability ingovernment process, an administrativestructure is proposed (see Flow Chart1) which will involve relevantgovernment agencies and keystakeholders on an as-needed basisthrough a Bush Forever AdvisoryGroup and various working sub-groups, including a Bush ForeverManagement Advisory Service.

Several bodies are involved inbushland management by providingadvice, funding and on-groundactivities and their role andachievements to date areacknowledged.They include CALM(Land for Wildlife), theCommonwealth Governmentthrough the Natural Heritage Trust(Bushcare, Rivercare, Coastcareand Landcare), the National Trust,DEP (Ecoplan), catchment co-ordinating groups (WRC, SwanCatchment Centre), community“friends” groups, APACE(community group), GreeningAustralia (WA) and the AustralianTrust for Conservation Volunteers(ATCV). However, co-ordinateddelivery between some of these

organisations to meet theindividual needs of Bush ForeverSite owners is currently lacking.

Under Bush Forever, a BushForever Management AdvisoryService (BMAS) will be establishedto coordinate and provideeducation, awareness and supportfor bushland management tolandowners, managing agencies andthe broader community relating toBush Forever Sites.

The BMAS will be established foran initial period of three years,subject to review thereafter, tocoordinate and work inpartnership with existing groupsand will receive support servicesthrough a newly appointed BushForever Management Facilitator, tobe employed through the Ministryfor Planning’s Bush Forever Office.The position will be located withinCALM.The BMAS will oversee theeffective and efficient coordinationof management planning, fundingand advice for Bush Forever Sitelandowners, and will have abroader educational role.This willinclude the development ofguidelines, strategies and criteria toassist a consistent approach tobushland management.The role ofthe advisory service will be guidedby existing groups, the BushForever Office and the inter-agencytechnical coordinating group.

The advisory service will report tothe Bush Forever Advisory Groupand will be coordinated andadministered by CALM.

Landowners affected by Bush Forevershould liaise with the Bush ForeverOffice at the MfP before submitting aformal development proposal.This willensure a coordinated one-stopprocess.The key to success will beprior consultation: each Bush ForeverSite’s circumstances, and hencesolution, will be unique; and eachlandowner may be affected differently.

Local governments are alsoencouraged to refer proposalsaffecting a Bush Forever Site to theBush Forever Office at an informaland early stage.This will be particularlyuseful before the initiation of a TPSAmendment and referral of theamendment or a developmentapplication to the WAPC or the EPA.The Bush Forever Office will liaisewith and coordinate implementationmatters with other key governmentagencies on Bush Forever matters asrequired.Where planning solutions tobushland conservation issues are beingnegotiated, local government input willalso be sought, where possible.

Proposals likely to affect locallysignificant bushland should beconsidered under local bushlandstrategies. Local governments will bethe lead agencies for the protection oflocally significant bushland.

MMeemmoorraanndduumm ooffUUnnddeerrssttaannddiinngg A memorandum of understanding(MOU) will be prepared between thekey government agencies andauthorities.The purpose of the MOUis to:

� Coordinate the roles andresponsibilities of the participatingagencies on Bush Forever matters,recognising the MfP as the leadcoordinating and implementationagency, with other agenciesinvolved as required.

� Facilitate a “one-stop-shop”process, with the MfP (BushForever Office) acting as thecentral point of contact, for allfuture actions, proposals andlandowners affected by BushForever, including the coordinationof negotiations and actions affectinga Bush Forever Site, subject toother statutory processes.

� Coordinate the consideration ofproposals to create greatercertainty and consistency ingovernment processes anddecision-making and to identifyreferral and consultativearrangements to enable the leadagency to deal effectively andexpeditiously with landowners,proposals and actions affecting aBush Forever Site.

u Ensure proposals and actionsaffecting a Bush Forever Site areconsidered in accordance with theimplementation recommendationsand objectives outlined in BushForever and wider planning,environmental, social and economicconsiderations.The implementationof agreed Bush Forever-relatednegotiated outcomes will beprimarily through statutoryplanning processes where areasonable outcome is achieved.This process will mean that agreedBush Forever outcomes areunlikely to be assessed under theEnvironmental Protection Act 1986.

The EPA has provided Section16(e) advice to the Minister for theEnvironment on this matter, whichis publicly available.

� Set out the key functions of theBush Forever Advisory Group, theBush Forever ManagementAdvisory Service and the inter-agency technical co-ordinatinggroup.

It should be noted, however, that theimplementation of Bush Forever willbe subject to the normal statutoryapproval processes and other planning

22..55..33 IInntteerriimm PPrrootteeccttiioonnClearing activities within Bush ForeverSites are addressed through theapplication of the Soil and LandConservation Act 1945.

Under a pre-existing memorandum ofunderstanding (1997) betweenrelevant agencies on the protection ofremnant vegetation on private land inthe agricultural region of WesternAustralia, land zoned Rural in the MRSis covered by provisions under thisAct, which the Commissioner for Soiland Land Conservation may use incases of clearing of more than onehectare without prior notice. Unlawfulclearing is the failure to submit aNotice of Intent to clear.

It should be noted that proponents ofactivities which may involve clearing ofareas under the NationalEnvironmental “triggers” of theCommonwealth EnvironmentalProtection and Biodiversity ConservationAct 1999 – especially the threatenedspecies and communities trigger – arerequired to refer proposals to theCommonwealth for a decision.


In early spring the Brixton Street

Wetlands (part of Bush Forever

Site 387) are covered by bright

green Amphibromus neesii (Swamp

Wallaby Grass) Grasslands and

grey Sedgelands.These wetlands

are recognised nationally and

support a series of threatened

species and ecological

communities.



For Urban zoned lands in the MRS,landowners and developers mustfollow due process and secure all thenecessary approvals beforedevelopment and clearing can occur.Retention of regionally significantbushland will be an importantconsideration in the planning andenvironmental approval processes.Development approval by the WAPCwill be seen as having the approval ofthe Commissioner for Soil and LandConservation. Some localgovernments also have TPS provisionsrequiring development approval forclearing.There may also be otherplanning and environmental policiesrelating to the protection ofvegetation, including: the Statement ofPlanning Policy No.2 – The Peel-HarveyCoastal Plain Catchment 1992, theEnvironment Protection (Swan andCanning Rivers) Policy 1998; and, theEnvironmental Protection (Swan CoastalPlains Lakes) Policy 1992.

Provisions under the WildlifeConservation Act 1950 in respect ofdeclared rare flora will also be used incases of indiscriminate clearing, whereapplicable.

Planning legislation and the MRS, donot specifically address clearing,except to the extent that it can beargued that clearing constitutesdevelopment under the Town Planningand Development Act 1928.TheWAPC may initiate a Special ControlArea in the MRS for Bush ForeverSites and Amendments to theMetropolitan Region Scheme Text toprovide clearing controls underplanning legislation within BushForever Sites.

Where land is currently reserved in theMRS for Parks and Recreation, thereare provisions under the MetropolitanRegion Town Planning Scheme Act 1959,to take action for unauthorised works,which may include clearing activity.

A Statement of Planning Policy (SPP)for Bush Forever will be prepared inconsultation with local governmentand will provide a policy frameworkto assist the WAPC and localgovernment to deal consistently withdevelopment proposals affecting BushForever Sites. SPPs are of a statutorynature and are prepared under theprovisions of Section 5AA of the TownPlanning and Development Act 1928and carry considerable weight atappeal.

The SPP will:

� Establish the broad implementationframework, mechanisms andapproaches for Bush Forever,including the development ofnegotiated urban and ruralplanning solutions for Bush ForeverSites.

� Set general standards forperformance criteria and bestpractice design guidelines.

� Establish a basis for future zoningand planning controls (includingSpecial Control Areas – seebelow) at the regional and locallevel and the conservationrequirements for Bush ForeverSites.


� Establish the need for localgovernments to develop localbushland strategies andmechanisms for local bushlandprotection.

SSppeecciiaall CCoonnttrrooll AArreeaassSpecial Control Areas (SCA) mayoffer alternative means of bushlandprotection in TPS (regional and local)to conservation zoning. A SCA canoverlay existing zones and reservesand can provide policies and controlsover development to protectbushland.

Formal recognition of Bush ForeverSites in TPS through SCAs orconservation zoning can assist therecognition of bushland as a legitimateland use.This will assist planners indecision-making and allow valuersgreater scope to offer local rating andState land tax incentives tolandowners. Such incentives may alsobe available where Bush Forever Sitesare protected through complementaryconservation covenants.

SCAs perform four main functions:

� Identify bushland and planningissues requiring specialconsideration.

� Control development within aSCA in response to the issues.

� Set out guidelines on the particularmatter to be taken into account inconsidering development withinthe SCA.

� Identify relevant specialist agenciesto be consulted prior to makingplanning decisions in the areas.

SCAs can articulate the objectives,policies and performance criteria for

bushland protection in any givensituation. Development proposals canthen be tested against an agreed setof criteria.

The SCA reflects a trend alreadyevident in a number of local TPS.TheShire of Busselton’s new TPSintroduces a SCA for areas oflandscape value, and the City ofBunbury’s TPS has a SCA for floodcontrol.

The environmental stresses imposedon bushland and wetlands byfragmentation, agricultural practicesand urban development mean thatthe remnants need activemanagement if they are to play a vitalrole in the conservation of regionalbiodiversity.

The principal management objectivesfor Bush Forever Sites should be forthe conservation of flora and fauna;however, in protecting these values,protection is also given to the areas’geology, soils, landforms and hydrology,as well as Aboriginal and Europeancultural values. If properly managed toprotect conservation values, mostnatural areas are also capable ofsustaining public access forappropriate nature-based recreationalactivities. Bushland can create a strongsense of community focus, and animprovement in quality of life andlocal amenity by bringing theexperience of natural places withinpeople’s reach.

Management plans should bedeveloped for Bush Forever Sites toaddress issues such as: threatening


processes and remedial action, weedcontrol, regeneration, firemanagement, access and thedevelopment of stewardship schemes,and the encouragement of publicparticipation. Draft guidelinesdeveloped by the DEP (1998) for themanagement of bushland can serve asa guide. Managing Perth’s Bushlands(Scheltema and Harris 1996) is alsoan excellent source of information onbushland management.

The BMAS and the Bush ForeverManagement Facilitator will helpcoordinate local governments, Stateagencies, landowners and communitygroups in developing managementplans, advice, guidelines and programsfor particular Bush Forever Sites, inassociation with responsibleauthorities.

Community groups will continueto have an important role in theeffective long-term managementof bushland.They often haveaccess to expertise and resources,and they can foster wider publicawareness of the values ofbushland and play an educationalrole through guided walks,signposting walking tracks andrunning seminars.

Recreation, or ceded at the time ofsubdivision under Section 20A ofthe Town Planning and DevelopmentAct 1928 (TP&D Act) whichbecome conservation reserves, thefuture management body willdepend on the size, managementobjectives and conservation valuesof the area. For example, largeareas of highest conservation valueand sites containing threatenedcommunities or large populations


of rare and endangered speciesrequiring specialist landmanagement, are likely to beultimately vested in and managedby the NPNCA(now theConservation Commission ofWestern Australia). On the otherhand, areas with less specialistmanagement requirements may bemanaged to include passiverecreation activities. In such cases,vesting in a local government, withcommunity groups assisting withmanagement guided by amanagement plan, may beappropriate.

For land acquired by the WAPC,financial assistance is availablethrough the Area AssistanceScheme for capital development ofreserves or preparation ofmanagement plans where a localgovernment accepts vesting andmanagement responsibility.

Where Bush Forever identifiesbushland in local government TPSReserves as Bush Forever Sites, theplan generally recommends thatthese areas remain under themanagement and control of localgovernment where applicable.

Bush Forever focuses on regionallysignificant bushland as a Stateresponsibility.This does not, however,detract from the importance ofconserving local bushland.The highlevel of expectation among localcommunities and the WAMA thatBush Forever will set a framework forthe protection of local bushland is

recognised, particularly as some of theimplementation mechanismsdeveloped for Bush Forever will alsobe applicable to local bushland.

Local bushland protection plans or“Greening Plans”, in whatever formthey take, can become a publiclyendorsed, comprehensive approach tothe identification, assessment,classification, protection andimprovement of bushland areas.

Developing a local bushlandprotection plan involves:

� Making an inventory of the localnatural resources (soils andgeology, bushland condition,associations and communities, andidentifying wetland areas).

� Preparing a map showing thenatural resources.

� Undertaking interpretative andclassification work to establishpriorities, opportunities andconstraints.

� Listing the issues, pressures andobjectives for each area, withrecommended managementguidelines and protectionmeasures, including implementationoptions and scope for revegetationand establishing new linkages.

The successful development andimplementation of a local bushlandprotection plan is dependent oncommunity and local governmentinput and support.The book LocalGreening Plans: A Guide for Vegetationand Biodiversity Management(Greening Australia 1995) is a usefulguide for local governments.

Local governments andcommunities may require supportat three levels for bushlandconservation: survey andassessment; management planning;and/or bushland regeneration andmaintenance.The support neededin specific instances will depend onfactors such as the state ofdevelopment of a localgovernment’s bushland planningand management framework, thecomplexity of management issuesand the level of awareness andactivity of its community.

Bush Forever will support localbushland conservation through theemployment of a Local BushlandLiaison Officer by the Ministry forPlanning’s Bush Forever Office withsome seed-funding support forplan preparation, whereappropriate.This officer will assistin the development of guidelinesand strategies (which may involvereviewing existing strategies) tobring consistency acrossgovernment to the identification,assessment and classification oflocal bushland. An important partof this support will be thepreparation of bushland atlases foreach local government area.Thesewill show the extent of remnantbushland and other environmentaland planning information.

The atlases will provide afoundation of a bushland inventory,will show broad metropolitan-widebushland mapping and will need tobe supplemented by morecomprehensive local botanical

surveys. From the inventories, anassessment of the values of eachbushland item can be made,including conservation,environmental (wetland andgroundwater), cultural, aesthetic,recreational, educational andscientific aspects.The LocalBushland Liaison Officer will workwith the key State governmentagencies, local government and thecommunity in the development ofcriteria for assessment of thesignificance of local bushland.

(Alan Tingay & Associates 1998)

Greenways are important features ofthe open space planning framework.They can serve to integrate openspace planning at the regional andlocal level. Greenways link bushlandremnants and are usually associatedwith bushland and wildlife corridors,actual or potential.

Greenways can also encompassdrainage corridors, creeklines androad verges.The guiding principles forestablishing greenways in the PerthMetropolitan Region are thatcorridors should support a widevariety of uses, functions andownerships and include compatiblemultiple uses. For example, they can

incorporate best practice water-sensitive design for stormwatermanagement (Evangelisti et al. 1994,1997a,b) to maintain water quality andprotect wetlands; and can performhabitat and recreational functions.

Bush Forever includes some areasidentified in A Strategic Plan for Perth’sGreenways ( Alan Tingay & Associates1998) such as vegetated road reservesand existing river foreshore reserves.This strategic plan complements BushForever by recognising potential andexisting corridors at a regional level

along rivers, drainage lines andtransport corridors, and encouragesthe definition of greenways at thelocal level through local open spaceplans.

Where possible, greenway conceptsshould be incorporated into futureplanning proposals as part of thedevelopment of best practice planningand design solutions. Funds forgreenway projects may also beavailable through Commonwealth

Government and State Governmentprograms such as the NaturalHeritage Trust, Gordon ReidFoundation for Conservation and theMinister for the Environment’sCommunity Conservation GrantProgram. Corporate sponsorship mayalso be a possibility. Assistance forgreenway projects may be availablethrough Commonwealth labourmarket programs and the AustralianTrust for Conservation Volunteers(ATCV).

Implementation of Bush Forever isalready occurring. Many sites, such asthose being advanced through

Negotiated Planning Solutions orprivate land managementarrangements, can be implemented inrelatively short time periods, say oneto five years. However, the fullimplementation of some Bush ForeverSites, which includes full security andvesting in appropriate managementbodies, may take 10 years toaccomplish. For example, for a siteproposed for reservation andgovernment acquisition, fullimplementation may take a numberyears as reserves are consolidatedand land vested with a suitablemanagement authority for aconservation purpose. Only at thattime can these particular BushForever Sites be considered fullyimplemented.

To facilitate service delivery and thefull implementation of Bush Forever,an Action Plan is outlined in Table 1.The Action Plan identifies leadagencies and priority actions, and willprovide a clear focus to ensure timelyimplementation.

Priority action items have beenidentified to enable the efficient use ofresources, ensure that the key issuesare addressed, and to see that prioritysites are protected early in theprocess. Priority areas within thePerth Metropolitan Region will be:

� Areas with existing planning andenvironmental approvals andcommitments.

� Areas of highest conservationpriority, including threatenedecological communities andcomplexes currently below thetarget 10% representation.

� An implementationrecommendation will be providedfor each Bush Forever Site for theguidance of decision-makers andto provide certainty and clarity forlandowners and the community.

� The Bush Forever Siteimplementation recommendationsand attendant approaches arepolicy recommendations and arestatements generally reflectingcurrent land use zoning,development approvals and thevalues and characteristics of eachsite. Recommendations will besubject to other planning andenvironmental considerations andstatutory approvals processes.Solutions will seek to anticipateother requirements wherepossible.There may need to beadjustments to the site

recommendations and approachtaken on a case-by-case basis totake into account changingcircumstances, new informationand further landownerconsultation.

� Bush Forever Site boundaries,including regionally significantbushland, may be subject tofurther analysis and verification as aresult of new information, on-ground site investigations andlandowner consultation during thesite implementation process and inthe context of the objectives ofthe site implementationrecommendation.The ongoingaudit of Bush Forever will providean update of site status and anychanges, where applicable, to siterecommendations and siteboundaries.

� Portions of Bush Forever Siteswithout native vegetation andwhich are not significant wetlands,are not intended to be protectedand do not form part of the siterecommendation, except, with theagreement of the landowner, forlinkages purposes where areas arecapable of regeneration.

� In the event that changes to thestatus or boundaries of BushForever Sites are considered, thebalance of representation ofecological communities will bemaintained by, where practicable,additions or substitute sites fromwithin the area of the SwanCoastal Plain.This includes areasoutside the Perth MetropolitanRegion.

Negotiated Planning Solutionsgenerally apply to lands whichplanning and environmentalprocesses have identified for futuredevelopment through existingcommitments, land use zoning orfor intensification of land use inaccordance with an approvedforward planning framework (suchas structure plans or local ruralstrategies - rural negotiatedplanning solutions).

Bush Forever Sites zoned otherthan Rural in the MRS and subjectto local structure planning where,as a rule, rezoning fordevelopment will not have occurredin the local Town PlanningScheme. Strategic NPS may also beinitiated through regional ordistrict structure planning processesfor Rural zoned lands and prior torezoning in the MRS.

Usually, lots in separate ownershipsthat form part of a Bush ForeverSite; or the Bush Forever Siteforms part of a larger developmentarea, and the area has thepotential for detailed structureplanning and coordination ofdevelopment.

Generally Bush Forever Sites wherethe private landowner or localgovernment wishes to retainownership but requires governmentadvice and assistance withmanagement.

Rural lands where the owner doesnot intend to manage or retainthe land for a conservationpurpose and where governmentdoes not consider reservation asan option.

Conservation on private lands isthe preferred outcome, supportedby mechanisms to secure futureconservation management suitedto individual circumstances anddeveloped in consultation withthe landowner.

To support private and publicland management to achievesecure conservation managementof Bush Forever Sites.

Low-impact rural subdivision forlarge bush blocks or low-keyrural cluster style developmentwill be considered where it isproved to have an overridingconservation outcome, butsubject to other planning andenvironmental considerations.

A range of protection andincentive packages operatingthrough public and privateagencies (as covered in detail inPractice Note 7 to 12). Statutoryconservation covenants may berequired for full protection.

Appropriate mechanisms tosupport and reinforce existingand future management forconservation and to providelong-term security, applied inconsultation with landowner(s),including a combination ofeducation (e.g. Land for Wildlife,Ecoplan), agreement (statutoryconservation covenants) andfinancial incentives (NaturalHeritage Trust, local rating andState land tax incentives) forconservation through partnershiparrangements.

Bushland-sensitive designguidelines for rural subdivisionoutlined in PRACTICE NOTE 10to be supported by statutoryconservation covenants throughthe planning approval process,management plans, schemezoning (where required e.g. forcluster style development) andland suitability and capabilitystudies, where applicable.

Rural subdivision forconservation purposes mayattract local rating and Stateland tax incentives, particularlywhere statutory conservationcovenants are imposed.

Action 3 Bush Forever will seek tomaximise the retention of vegetationin rural areas through liaison andnegotiation with individuallandowners on a case-by-case basisin order to achieve a reasonableoutcome.

Action 4 The Government willsupport landowners seeking advice,agreements, statutory protection andfinancial assistance from existingprograms, where possible, to offer asuite of complementary mechanismssuited to individual circumstances.

IG 7 Bush Forever Sites identifiedfor complementary mechanisms maybe considered for a form of ruralnegotiated outcome, such as limitedconservation-compatible ruralsubdivision for large bush blocks orlow-key rural cluster development,provided there is an overridingconservation outcome involvingstatutory conservation covenants, butsubject to other planning andenvironmental considerations and theperformance and design criteriaestablished in PRACTICE NOTE 10 (tobe used as an interim guidepending the preparation of detailedbushland-sensitive design guidelines).

IG 8 Lot sizes for bush blocks andcluster development will be subject tothe bushland protection objectives,management and marketingconsiderations, prevailing site conditionsand environmental constraints, includingdrainage, water supply and quality,erosion, road and wastewater services,fire, visual amenity, heritage and otherplanning considerations.

Sites have been selected according to defined criteria including:� The size and shape of the bushland; large compact areas were preferred to

isolated small areas.

� The condition of the bushland, with preference given to largely undisturbedareas.

� The bushland contains wetlands which have regionally significant vegetation.

� The bushland is required to secure the target 10 per cent representation ofa particular vegetation type.

� Whether the bushland contains rare or threatened species or threatenedcommunities.

Other issues taken into consideration included: the financial resources of theWestern Australian Planning Commission, the social and economic valuesattached to the metropolitan land resource and the potential impacts of BushForever on future land requirements.
