Significant outcomes.

The 2024 baseline assessment of the Woodland Bird Asset in the Toolangi Asset Area found that the overall Econd® score for the asset was 28. Within the two assessment units, scores varied, with 'Moderately Degraded' at 24 and 'Quality Bushland' at 32. Individual survey sites had Econd® scores from 15 to 51, with site INT02 scoring the highest, recording 13 species, including seven small-bodied natives. Notably, a Vulnerable species, the Southern Whiteface (Aphelocephala leucopsis), was observed at INT01 and INT02. The region’s remnant Eucalyptus leucoxylon woodland supports rare species, including the Southern Whiteface, Yellow Thornbill, Red-rumped Parrot, Laughing Kookaburra, Grey Butcherbird, and Apostlebird. Overall, 21 native bird species, including nine small-bodied species, were recorded during the survey.

Limitations & disclosures.

This account is constrained by both spatial and temporal limitations. Spatially, the extensive area of woodland on the property prevents surveying at a High Accuracy (90%) level with current resources, which would require 44 sites (one per 25 hectares). Consequently, the account has been built to a Moderate Accuracy (80%) level, surveying one site per 150 hectares. Temporally, the account is currently assessed annually in Autumn; however, accuracy could be enhanced by shifting to biannual assessments, adding a Spring survey to capture seasonal variation. The primary barrier to this improvement is the resourcing required for a Spring survey.
