Threatened species associations with Broad Vegetation Groups
and Table 3. present the Broad Vegetation Group (BVG) preferences in combination with Regional Vulnerability Group. Salient points include:
Flora species are primarily associated with Wetland, followed by Heathy Woodland and thirdly Grassy Woodland BVGs. A high number of flora species in higher-ranking Vulnerability Groups are also ‘Wetland’ species.
The majority of fauna species are associated with Grassy Woodland or secondly the Heathy Woodland BVG.
