Coast Banksia Woodland

Restricted to near coastal localities on secondary or tertiary dunes behind Coastal Dune Scrub. Dominated by an open to mid-dense canopy of Coast Banksia (Banksia integrifolia) with a shrub-layer including Coast Daisy-bush (Oleria axilaris), Coast Tea-tree (Leptospermum laevigatum) and Coast Wattle (Acacia sophorae). The understorey consists of a number of herbs and sedges, including scramblers.

Sand Heathland

Treeless heathland or woodland occurring on deep, infertile sands with a diverse dense shrub-layer including Silky Tea-tree (Leptospermum myrsinoides), Showy Bossiaea (Bossiaea cinerea) and Silver Banksia (Banksia marginata). Consists of a low, dense heathy shrub layer and a number of sedges and sedge-like species. Grasses and herbs are notably absent or infrequent.

Damp Heathland

Developed on sites of intermittent waterlogging, typically wet in winter and dry in summer, with low nutrient availability. Closed tall heathland, or woodland, with a diverse dense shrub-layer dominated by Prickly Tea-tree (Leptospermum continentale), Scrub Sheoke (Allocasuarina paludosa) and Silver Banksia (Banksia marginata). There is a dense ground layer of rushes and sedges, with emergent eucalypts including, Coastal Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Messmate and Narrow-leaved Peppermint.

Wet Heathland

A low, generally treeless heathland although sometimes emergent eucalypts may be present. Dominated by Scented Paperbark (Melaleuca squarrosa) and Scrub Sheoke (Allocasuarina paludosa). Occurs on low slopes, flats or depressions, which are infertile and subjected to prolonged water logging. Understorey is often dominated by a range of sedges, grasses and shrubs.

Swamp Scrub

Closed scrub to 8 m tall at low elevation on alluvial deposits along streams or pooly drained sites with higher nutrient availability. The community is dominated by Swamp Paperbark (Melaleuca ericifolia) or sometimes Woolly Tea-tree (Leptospermum lanigerum) which often forms a dense thicket, out-competing other species. Occasional emergent eucalypts may be present.

Brackish Swamp Scrub

A dense canopy of Swamp Paperbark Melaleuca ericifolia with an understory dominated by a range of species adapted to seasonally brackish conditions, such as Coast Saw-sedge (Gahnia trifida), Nodding Club-rush (Isolepis cernua), Shiny Swamp-mat (Selliera radicans) and Salt Pratia (Lobelia irrigua).

Brackish Wetland

Sedgeland or herbland, occasionally grassland, dominated by salt-tolerant species, but samphires, if present usually with low cover. Typically occurs on heavy, at least seasonally shallowly inundated to waterlogging soils, on a range of geologies. Common in estuaries, along the shoreline of saline/brackish lakes and along poorly defined drainage lines near the coast. Dominated by salt tolerant grass, rush and sedge species, including Common Reed (Phragmites australis), Sea Rush (Juncus krausii) and Knobby Club-rush (Ficinia nodosa)
