The overall Environmental Account Asset Econd® score was calculated to be 15.4. As this is a baseline account, this score is not unexpected. At the time of baseline data collection, the asset account area was undergoing prepared for revegetation activities (direct seeding and hand planting). Preparation activities included grazing to reduce ground cover and blanket spraying of the sites to control invasive species. Therefore, any pre-existing ground cover had been significantly reduced.

As a result, many of the measured composition indicators relating to tree, shrub and ground cover produced a score of 0 as they were being compared to benchmark data for grassy woodland sites. The indicators that created positive scores in the Econd® included the native perennial grass cover and litter cover.

This Account has been designed to measure and track the change in condition alongside an Environmental Planting project. The project is intended to restore the predominantly cleared site to a box-gum grassy woodland. The Econd® determined in this report is a baseline of the project, prior to the commencement of planting activities. It is expected that the Asset Econd® will increase following revegetation activities.

A graph has not been included to track the condition of the Asset over time as this report relates to the baseline condition of the asset. A graph/visual representation will be included for future reporting periods.
