By teaming up with community groups, the Alliance has treated 13 local salinity hotspots, helped protect three endangered regional ecosystems and one threatened species, tackled the special challenges of burgeoning lifestyle landowners, secured commitment of 80 per cent of egg and poultry producers to use the industry's environmental management system, and discovered a unique montane sedgeland and heath wetland in the catchment and negotiated with the landholder to protect it.

The Swamp Antechinus inhabits dense wet heath and heathy woodland, sedgeland and tussock grassland (Menkhorst and Knight 2011).

Coastal Saltmarsh ranges from a low succulent herbland to shrubland to rushland and sedgeland (Davies et al.
