Tonebridge-Frankland Area Land Resources Survey, Angela Stuart-Street, National Landcare Program (Australia), Natural Heritage Trust (Australia)
Land resources series
This report presents the results from soil and landform mapping at a scale of 1:100,000 in the Tonebridge-Frankland area of Western Australia. One map representing the Tonebridge (2229) and Frankland (2329) map sheet areas, covering approximately 511,000 hectares accompanies the report on a CD-ROM. The Tonebridge-Frankland survey area covers major parts of the Warren-Tone and Frankland-Gordon River catchments. It also covers the upper catchments of the Kent and Deep Rivers, a small part of the Blackwood River catchment in the north western corner, as well as the Lake Muir-Unicup sub-catchments. The Tonebridge-Frankland survey falls within the Manjimup, Katanning and Albany …

Perrennial Grassess - Are They For Me? Workshop Development Guide For Facilitators, Trevor Lacey
Agriculture reports
Farmers will be able to recognise landscape components on their farm that are at risk of salinity (current, imminent or future) and be aware of a range of available options available to them in managing this risk.
Groundwater Study Of The Boddington Townsite, Gregory Paul Raper
Groundwater Study Of The Boddington Townsite, Gregory Paul Raper
Resource management technical reports
A study of the groundwater beneath the Boddington townsite was carried out in April 2002. The aim was to assess the salinity risk to the townsite infrastructure and to accelerate the implementation of effective salinity management for the town. The study consisted of field reconnaissance, a drilling program, expansion of a groundwater-monitoring network installed in March 2001, and groundwater monitoring.
Natural Resource Management Issues For The South Coast Regional Strategy, B Nicholas
Natural Resource Management Issues For The South Coast Regional Strategy, B Nicholas
Resource management technical reports
This report has been prepared by the Agricultural Resource Management Program of the Department of Agriculture to assist SCRIPT (South Coast Regional Initiative Planning Team) in preparing the regional strategy. It records the key natural resource management issues threatening agricultural land on the south coast of Western Australia. Managing agricultural land effectively should be a priority in reducing the risks of land degradation on all assets-productive agricultural land, biodiversity and waterways.

Pingrup Townsite : Drilling Completion Report, Louise Hopgood, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia. Rural Towns Program
Resource management technical reports
Initial drilling was carried out in the townsite of Pingrup in Western Australia in April 2002. This report shows the findings of the study in terms of soil characteristics, watertable management and groundwater monitoring.
Upper Yilgarn Catchment Appraisal 2005, Keith Ohlsen, Susan Murphy-White
Upper Yilgarn Catchment Appraisal 2005, Keith Ohlsen, Susan Murphy-White
Resource management technical reports
Soil degradation on farmland reduces agricultural production and will often lead to damage to natural resources such as remnant vegetation and waterways, as well as to infrastructure, including roads and townsites. This report provides current information on the land degradation status for the Upper Yilgarn Catchment area in Western Australia by outlining: condition of the soils, hydrology, natural vegetation, farming systems and agricultural production and risks to natural resources.
Avon Hotham Catchment Appraisal 2005, S Sharafi, H Lauk, Paul Galloway
Avon Hotham Catchment Appraisal 2005, S Sharafi, H Lauk, Paul Galloway
Resource management technical reports
This report summarises current information on risks and impacts to agricultural production and natural resources within the Avon Hotham study area. It then identifies suitable options to manage such risks. The Avon Hotham study area is 1.9 million hectares and is made up of three sub catchments: West Avon, South Avon and Hotham, in south west Western Australia. Among the risks and impacts discussed are rainfall, surface drainage; major land degredation hazards are subsurface compaction and acidification.

Gibson Oil Mallee Study : Drill Completion And Preliminary Hydrogeological Interpretation Report, John Andrew Simons, Peter Taylor, D L. Bennett, Western Australia. Department Of Conservation And Land Management
Resource management technical reports
Oil mallees are being planted in Western Australian wheatbelt farms with the expectation that they will reduce land salination by lowering watertables as well as providing income from combinations of eucalyptus oil distillation, power generation, activated carbon production and carbon sequestration in the future.
Land Evaluation Standards For Land Resource Mapping : Assessing Land Qualities And Determining Land Capability In South-Western Australia, Dennis Van Gool, Peter J. Tille, Geoff Allen Moore
Land Evaluation Standards For Land Resource Mapping : Assessing Land Qualities And Determining Land Capability In South-Western Australia, Dennis Van Gool, Peter J. Tille, Geoff Allen Moore
Resource management technical reports
This report describes the standard method for attributing and evaluating conventional land resource survey maps in the south-west agriculture region of Western Australia so that strategic decisions about the management, development and conservation of land resources can be based on the best information available. The standards described are similar to the land suitability assessment (stage one of the two stage) methods described by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO, 1976, 1983).
An Inventory Of Rangelands In Part Of The Broome Shire, Western Australia, W E. Cotching
An Inventory Of Rangelands In Part Of The Broome Shire, Western Australia, W E. Cotching
Technical Bulletins
The inventory of rangelands in part of the Broome Shire in Western Australia was undertaken by DAFWA between 1989 and 1990. It describes and maps the natural resources of the region’s pastoral leasehold land. This survey report provides a baseline record of the existence and condition of the natural area’s resources, to assist with the planning and implementation of land management practices. The report identified and described the condition of soils, landforms, vegetation, habitat, ecosystems, and declared plants and animals. It also assessed the impact of pastoralism and made land management recommendations. The survey of part of the Broome Shire …
