Bushland Asset Management

The Bushland Asset Management Project consists of an inventory of all the assets within the City of Mandurah’s bushland reserves. It enables the City to look at its natural areas on a municipality and/or parcel scale.  This enables the City to set realistic targets and allows tracking of investments which further enables evaluation and improvement of management techniques and methods.

A long term database for natural areas, including spatial data, is being created to contribute to valid scientific research activities.  It will also form the basis of environmental management, planning and target setting. The data feeds into the South West Biodiversity Project (SWBP) Regional Natural Areas Initial Assessment (NAIA) Database that enables sharing of the information collected by individual land managers across the region.
The data is divided in two categories: infrastructure and ecological.
