Conservation Action Plans
Parks Victoria is now adopting a best-practice approach to conservation planning for managing the extensive parks estate across Victoria.
Using the Conservation action planning methodology, we can identify and focus on strategies that will achieve the greatest improvement in the overall health of ecosystems. This planning process is being used by many conservation agencies around the globe, and can help us share information with international partners when tackling similar problems.
The Conservation Action Plans (CAPs) cover the same landscape areas as park management plans and are developed through workshops with Traditional Owners, partner agencies, stakeholders, researchers, and scientists. These workshops identify the priority threats to conservation assets and what management strategies and actions will improve their condition over the next 15 years. After 5 years, the plans will be reviewed, and progress evaluated against implementation of priority actions, threat mitigation objectives and outcomes identified for conservation assets.

River Red Gum
The River Red Gum Park Landscape is a linear oasis, with many of its ecosystems periodically connected by floodwaters. The landscape provides diverse, unique, high-quality habitats essential for the persistence of threatened species that rely upon seasonally inundated wetlands and floodplain environments. It is characterised by iconic large, old trees, vast floodplains, and internationally significant wetlands.
