2.4 Fauna Communities
24.1 Background
The results of the fauna survey indicate that the site continues to provide suitable habitat for a range of

fauna groups, despite development of adjacent areas. The site’s fauna habitats can be broadly
separated into

 

Banksia woodland/open heathland - Valuable forage and shelter habitat for most fauna groups.
Closed wet heathland/sedgeland - Valuable forage habitat for heathland birds, mammals and
“acid” frogs. Connecting to more extensive areas of this habitat in adjacent protected areas
Waterway riparian vegetation — Valuable forage, shelter and breeding habitat for amphibians and
birds. Connecting to more extensive areas of this habitat type in adjacent protected areas.

Cleared or heavily disturbed areas —- Poor value forage habitat for birds and forage/shelter habitat

 

for reptiles
