8 September 2015…

An initiative led by local leaders to attract sustainable agricultural investment into the Peel-Harvey Region has stimulated action to improve food security while protecting the Region’s prized natural resources, including the Peel-Harvey Estuary.

The Region currently grows over $350 million of produce across 140,000 hectares and this is set to significantly increase over the next 20 years. However, it has been clearly identified by researchers and government groups that predicted growth of the industry, as well as other new development, has the potential to create environmental risks if it is not well planned and managed.

As the Peel Harvey Catchment Council’s CEO Jane O’Malley explains, the fragility of the Peel-Harvey’s Estuary health has always collided with the nutrient management risk that traditional farming and development methods pose on many of the Catchment’s soils. Unfortunately, much of the catchment to the Estuary is flat, sandy, wet, cleared and drained – meaning that all new development needs to work hard to meet water quality protection standards.

For example, growing vegetables directly in poor deep sands can lead to excess fertiliser being leached into groundwater and local waterways. This results in algal blooms and fish deaths and is contrary to government policy.

In contrast, well managed closed loop systems of production such as closed hydroponic systems greatly reduce the risk of fertilisers being leached or washed into waterways and groundwater. It is believed that these types of sustainable agriculture and food innovation will become the norm as growers and consumers seek more sustainable fresh food options.

With urban expansion rapidly reducing food production sites in the greater Perth area, the Peel Region’s available water supplies, proximity to metropolitan outlets, and strong transport nodes mean that Peel is well placed to attract new growers and investors.

In a proactive approach, a Technical Working Group (TWG) for Sustainable Agriculture in the Peel has been established to improve and streamline decision making around new proposals for vegetable farms and other horticultural enterprises and ensure that they can meet water quality protection standards.

Ms O’Malley who is joint Chair of the Group said that the TWG is a collaborative effort of state and local government agencies and the Peel-Harvey Catchment Council and was focused on the two aims of supporting a future for the horticulture sector in the Peel, and protecting the Peel-Harvey Estuary.

“Not only is it important for us to work with industry growers, we also have an obligation to build an engaged community that want to learn and support local sustainable food production. A well informed community will influence and impact purchasing choices, which will not only benefit our personal wellbeing but promote environmental and economic health for our communities.”

In addition to supporting more streamlined internal government processes, the Group has published a brochure that will assist growers target resources to areas suitable for production that will not present a significant risk to the Peel-Harvey Estuary.

John Shannon, CEO of Vegetables WA has been working with the TWG and welcomes the assistance provided to the industry and the opportunities now being presented. “We acknowledge the initiative and the efforts of the Peel Leaders Forum and agency representatives of Peel-Harvey in their positive approach to attracting and increasing investment into this ideal food production location, while protecting natural resources of the Region,” he said.

Copies of the publication produced by the Peel Regional Leaders Forum and Peel Sustainable Agriculture Technical Working Group to guide investment decisions with new horticulture development in the Peel-Harvey are available from Local Councils of the Peel-Harvey Region, the Peel-Harvey Catchment Council’s office and website at www.peel-harvey.org.au

This project is supported by the Peel-Harvey Catchment Council through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Programme and the Peel Regional Leaders Forum.

B5	WATER RESOURCES ARE MANAGED AND USED WISELY
Water resources are essential to life. They shape our wetlands, waterways and biodiversity and influence the type and location of agricultural production. Water resources include both surface waters and groundwater, and the aquifer systems that link them both. Most of the forested areas of the Forest and Scarp Subsystem are proclaimed water supply catchments (Land Assessment, 2005). Water resources are managed under a regime which recognises both public and private use values as well as environmental water requirements. The strategies to achieve this goal support water allocation planning and other activities to ensure the wise use of resources for protection of ecosystems in the long term. These strategies complement the Department of Water’s role in water allocation planning.
B5.1	Support water allocation planning and management for wise use
B5.1.1	Undertake a water audit across the catchment to assist in water management in the long term
B5.1.2	Encourage adequate environment water allocations in and for all priority systems
B5.1.3	Support measuring and assessment of water supply systems, for environment and agriculture
B5.1.4	Support the development of water storage facilities for fire management
B5.2	Support land managers to manage water resources—for multiple benefits
B5.2.1	Support resource and land managers to assess and implement water capture, harvesting and storage facilities
B5.2.2	Support resource users to implement water efficiencies
B5.2.3	Support adaptive management systems to respond to reduced rainfall

B4	BIODIVERSITY IS CONSERVED
Biodiversity is the term used to describe the natural diversity of life. This diversity exists at the ecosystem, species and genetic levels. The Region is recognised as a global biodiversity hotspot because of its mega-diverse and unique biodiversity and the level of threat this biodiversity is under. Biodiversity is most effectively and efficiently conserved by protecting natural areas, these being areas of bushland, forest, woodland, waterway, wetland, dune, rock outcrop, foreshore and any other area in a near-nature state. The Region is home to many globally significant natural areas, notable examples being Dryandra Woodland, our Northern Jarrah forest, and the Peel-Yalgorup Ramsar System. The strategies to achieve this goal are focused on protecting priority natural areas, managing and reducing threats to biodiversity assets, and restoring ecological linkages between significant natural areas. Assisting local governments to implement local biodiversity strategies will be one of a number of ways of achieving this goal.
B4.1	Protect priority terrestrial and aquatic natural areas
B4.1.1	Influence land-use planning to afford protection to priority natural areas
B4.1.2	Undertake assessments of biodiversity status
B4.1.3	Assist land managers to protect priority terrestrial natural areas
B4.1.4	Assist land managers to protect priority aquatic natural areas
B4.1.5	Assist land managers to improve biodiversity through regenerative agricultural practices
B4.1.6	Incorporate knowledge of impacts of changing weather patterns into biodiversity programs
B4.2	Manage and reduce threats
B4.2.1	Identify, monitor and communicate threats and threatening processes
B4.2.2	Implement and support threat reduction activities in priority areas, including managing feral animals, weeds and disease, fire, extreme events and drought
B4.2.3	Implement and support management and response planning for extreme natural events
B4.3	Restore ecological linkages
B4.3.1	Facilitate and/or support collaborative landscape scale restoration for multiple benefits
B4.3.2	Encourage restoration processes being identified and embedded into the land-use planning system

B3	COASTAL AND NEARSHORE AREAS AND PROCESSES ARE RESILIENT AND VALUED
Coastal foreshores, beaches and near-shore areas have significant social, ecological and economic values. They support commercial and recreational fisheries, protect coastal residential areas and provide a diversity of habitat for flora and fauna. A key aspect of coastal management in the Region is the network of community groups, local governments and state agencies that manage coastal foreshores and maintain public access to beaches and nearshore waterways. Strategies to achieve this goal are aimed at supporting the groups and organisations who are undertaking coastal area and near-shore management.
B3.1	Protect foreshores for their ecological and recreational values
B3.1.1	Encourage/support foreshore management that enables natural process and resilience to a changing climate
B3.1.2	Support the community to value and manage coastal areas
B3.1.3	Support recreational uses consistent with environmental protection
B3.2	Protect near-shore habitats for productivity and biodiversity
B3.2.1	Support actions/activities to protect near-shore habitats for ecological, recreational and commercial productivity

B2	SOILS ARE HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE
Soils and landforms are the fundamental resources which shape wetlands and waterways, biodiversity and land use, especially agriculture. Agricultural production in the Catchment is worth $469.974 million per annum (source 2021 REMPLAN) and relies directly on the health and conservation of soil resources. Soils should be managed as a living resource with consideration to soil acidity, dryland salinity, prevention of erosion and discharge of sediment. Biosecurity is an issue of significant concern to the community and is included under this goal given its impact on soils, productivity and biodiversity. Issues such as water repellence and compaction of soils may also be having an impact on farm productivity levels, although the impact on productivity is not clearly understood. Healthy soils will reduce the loss of topsoil to waterways and the impact of sediment on rivers and the Estuary. Strategies under this goal aim to assist farmers and land managers to better understand their local soils, make informed decisions on soil management practices, and support biosecurity programs. Farmers own and manage over 50% of the Region, making their increased participation in NRM essential.

B2.1.2	Influence and support decision makers in developing policy and legislation for the protection of priority environmental assets
B2.1.3	Advocate for and support streamlining of planning regulation and licensing for sustainable agricultural practices

B1	WETLANDS AND WATERWAYS ARE HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE
Wetlands and waterways have a special place, with all major townsites and communities living in proximity to a local waterway or wetland. Major waterway assets include the Hotham, Williams, Murray, Serpentine, North and South Dandalup and Harvey rivers. Major wetland assets include the Peel-Harvey Estuarine System and the Peel-Yalgorup Ramsar System. Key threats include poorly planned development, changing hydroperiods, reduced flow, eutrophication, ASS and MBO. Strategies to achieve this goal are designed to support coordinated management of the Estuary and Ramsar System, implement management actions to improve waterway and wetland condition, and protect groundwater quality and flows into wetlands and waterways.
B1.1	Support the establishment and operations of coordinated governance frameworks for the Peel-Yalgorup Ramsar System
B1.1.1	Work with key stakeholders to establish and operate a coordinated framework for the Peel-Harvey Estuarine System
