(1) As part of or complimentary to the work undertaken to produce ‘Native Vegetation In Western Australia: Extent, type and status’ by D.P. Shepherd
et al
(2001), has a breakdown of native vegetation distribution between public and private land within the South West Land Division been produced?
(2) If yes, what reports have been produced and what is their availability?
(3) If not, and recognising the on-going financial, management and environmental implications for the owners of native vegetation on private land, will the Government undertake such a study?
(4) Does the Government accept that the environmental and conservation values of privately owned native vegetation is high and, as such, the protection of these values should be an urgent Government priority?
(5) If no reports have been produced, what is the Government’s best estimate of the area of land (in hectares) of native vegetation occurring on private land within the South West Land Division?
