• Deliver on the promise to protect over 700,000ha of South West forests by 2033, with comprehensive and well-funded engagement from Noongar peoples, ensuring their subsequent participation in stewardship activities.
• Establish a network of protected areas in the Northern Jarrah Forests by March 2029, ensuring:
  • Comprehensive engagement with and participation of Noongar peoples in protection and management of the forests
  • Immediate exclusion of high conservation values areas from existing and future mining tenements
  • Strategic Advice from the WA EPA to guide conservation efforts
• Increase funding for early detection and rapid suppression technology to quickly extinguish bushfires. Fire management in the South West conservation estate must be modern, strategic and risk-based to protect not just human life and property, but also the South West’s incredible biodiversity.
• Publish live and transparent data on thinning operations, including information about the conditions and scientific evidence guiding these programs, to ensure they genuinely benefit ecosystems.
