Wannon Landscape Plan

This Landscape Plan for the Wannon Landscape Zone - May 2003, was produced in collaboration between J. Ross - Environmental Consultant - New Zealand; K. Lowe, C. Boyle & A. Moorrees - Parks, Flora, Fauna Division, DSE.

The Wannon Landscape Zone consists of extensive undulating volcanic plains. The average annual rainfall at Hamilton is 690mm with rainfall increasing to the south. The vast majority of native vegetation has been cleared and wetter areas drained. Prior to 1750, Plains Grassy Woodland was the predominant vegetation cover and wetland communities were found throughout the zone. A few highly significant areas of native vegetation remain on public land, with little remaining on private land. The vast majority of land is freehold with only a small number of conservation reserves, wildlife reserves and streamside reserves. The zone includes remnants of a number of highly threatened vegetation communities and important populations of Clover Glycine, Gilgai Blown-grass, Salt-lake Tussock-grass and Eastern Barred Bandicoot. The Lake Linlithgow Wetlands are listed in the Directory of Important Wetlands in Australia.
