Minimise clearing and disturbances in the wider catchment area. Minimise disruptions to the landscape e.g. smoothing out depressions or creating banks/levees that divert or store water. Encourage uptake of conservation agreements and covenants on private land, and purchase remnants into reservation. Monitor and manage changes to water flow and water quality including sedimentation, pollution and changes to water tables. Create buffer zones of native vegetation around remnants. Manage grazing regimes including duration and density. Leave significant rest periods between grazing. Avoid grazing when soils are too wet or soft (trampling causes erosion of soil structure). Avoid grazing when plants are drought stressed. Exclude stock from important sites. Avoid herbicide and fertiliser application. Increase connectivity between remnants. Ensure that any revegetation is undertaken in an appropriate manner (e.g. with no significant detrimental impacts on hydrology or threatened species). adverse impacts from chemicals or other mechanisms to manage weeds. Maintain strict hygiene protocols to avoid spreading Phytophthora (dieback) by vehicle tyres, earthmoving machinery and boots. Manage public access to control the spread of dieback.
