Current view: Data table and detailed info

IBA Justification

The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2009 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Carnaby's Black-cockatoo Zanda latirostris	EN	breeding (2003–2008)	50–60 nests	A1

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2009. The most recent assessment (2008) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	whole of population/area (>90%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations)	high
Natural system modifications	likely in long term (>4 years)	some of population/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations)	medium
Residential and commercial development	likely in long term (>4 years)	few individuals/small area (<10%)	rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations)	low
Transportation and service corridors	likely in long term (>4 years)	few individuals/small area (<10%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations)	low
