Curbur Station : inventory of the range and its management

Ten land systems were identified, descriped and mapped. potential feed status was assessed for each land system. The land systems were then ranked accordingly and stocking rates allocated. Wongdong saline shrublands was considered to be the most productive system and Narryer hills, outcrops and breakaways the least productive. An assessment was made of the range condition and erosion status of the least. These assessments indicated that most of the pastures had been heavily utilized in the past

Procedures for the administration and assessment of clearing and protection of native vegetation in Western Australia

It is Department of Agriculture policy that regulation is only used when all other approaches to address land degradation have failed. Our thrust is to encourage land holders to move towards using land within its capabilities as they continue to adopt sustainable farming systems. Underlying this approach is a self regulatory philosophy with land conservation district committees playing an important management and coordination role. Nevertheless the community expects that land degradation will be controlled and legislation is available to underpin or complement the good intentions of most land holders. The Soil and Land Conservation Act is the legislation used to prevent and mitigate land degradation in Western Australia. Under this Act the Commissioner of Soil and Land Conservation has a responsibility to prevent any activities that are likely to result in land degradation

Meeberrie Station : an inventory of the rangeland and management recommendations

Eleven land systems were identified, described and mapped. Potential feed status was assessed for each land sys;tem. The land systems were then ranked accordingly and stocking rates allocated. From this information the safe carrying cdapacity for the lease in good range condition was estimated to be about 15 200 small stock units. During the survey an assessment was made of the range condition and erosion status of the lease
