Protect remnants from further clearing for development, mining and fire breaks. Buffer remnants with locally found species to protect remnants from weed and feral animal incursion, and chemical spray drift. Avoid herbicide and fertiliser application in adjacent crops and pastures. Fire intervals should be of a minimum of 10 years or more. Overly frequent prescribed burns diminish regeneration capacity, and impact negatively on the health and population levels of ground dwelling fauna. Soil movement during firebreak maintenance can increase the incidence of Phytophthora. Ensure hygiene protocols are in place to avoid Phytophthora spread. African lovegrass, perennial Veldt Grass and Bridal Creeper should be actively monitored and managed. Concentrations of phosphorus support weed proliferation and lead to weeds outcompeting native flora (which is adapted to low fertility soil). Rabbits, cats and foxes should be managed simultaneously. Mice, rats, goats and pigs should also be managed. Pigs are a major cause of the spread of Phytophthora. Maintain strict hygiene protocols to avoid spreading Phytophthora by vehicle tyres, earthmoving machinery and boots. dieback with phosphite in early Summer, and repeat 4–5 weeks later. Sites should be treated for a wide area around an infected site. Ensuring spraying is accompanied by weed management. Remove all of badly affected plants, including as much of the root system as possible. Manage public access to control the spread of dieback. Impacts of Phytophthora can increase following fire.
