Public consultation is sought

The Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities has released the draft 'Threat abatement plan for disease in natural ecosystems caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi' for three-month public consultation from 20 February 2013 to 20 May 2013.

The draft plan provides a national strategy to guide the investment and effort by the Australian Government, jurisdictions, research organisations and non-government organisations in abating the impacts of Phytophthora cinnamomi on key species and ecological communities.

The new Bush Crew from the City of Armadale will be undertaking works on our Reserves over the next 2 weeks. The work activities will include rubbish removal, brush cutting and spraying around the fringes of the reserves.

The Reserves will be Attunga Reserve, Hellenic, Winstanley, Lina Hart Memorial Park, Eskdale, Hookway, Bettenay, Peet Rd and Windsor. Give them a friendly "hi" and let yourself be known if you are a Reserve Custodian.

Join up for WA's biggest survey for Carnaby's Black-Cockatoo! The fifth Great Cocky Count (GCC) will take place for one hour at sunset on Sunday 7 April. This community-driven annual survey aims to count as many Carnaby's as possible at their night-time roost sites on a single night each April.

Roosts are places where black-cockatoos rest at night. Important information on the location of critical roosting habitat for cockatoos is collected through the GCC, and is increasing with every survey completed. The 2012 GCC found there has been a 40% decline since 2010 in the number of Carnaby's in the Perth region, where we have three continuous years of robust survey data.
