Two of Victoria’s most important and biodiverse ecological communities—the Natural Temperate Grasslands and Grassy Eucalypt Woodlands of the Victorian Volcanic Plain—are under serious threat.

This audit looks at whether the management of native vegetation clearing is protecting state and nationally significant native vegetation in the extended urban growth boundary areas.
