Location:
This property is approximately 220km north of Perth in the Shire of Moora, and is 38km from the Moora town site. Conservation Hill shares a border with the Watheroo National Park and is situated on the Namban West Road. This property has the benefits of a country position and lifestyle, whilst also being in close proximity to the ocean, the city and Moora, the 2001 Australian Community of the Year.
This property is a registered Bush for Wildlife Farm and has 1400 ha of pristine vegetation, a wetland system and an Australian native flower, foliage and seed farm. A 'biodiversity hotspot' that can be purchased whole or in 3 separate blocks.
Services available to the purchaser include farm and environmental management and use of farm facilities, (subject to sale of lot 1.)
Conservation Value:
Situated in the northern sandplain region, the second most botanically diverse area in the world (species/km2), the property is of great value to the preservation of Western Australia's biodiversity, and is on the Moora Wildflower Heritage Trail. A recent report by CALM (2002) stated that the property was suitable for participation in reintroduction programs for locally extinct mammalian species. A preliminary survey identified over 200 plant species on the block, but it has been estimated that a more accurate number would be 400, the same number that occurs in the adjacent Watheroo National Park.
Farm plant species with economic potential: Verticordia , Banksia, Eucalyptus, Anigozanthus, Melaleuca, Casuarina, Conospermum and Acacia. Sale of the farm can include a forward contract to supply seeds to Kimseed, one of the largest Australian native seed suppliers.
Expressions of interest are sought by the landowner.
