Yugovic and Mitchell 2006). The Safety Beach grasslands are on alluvial clays, were seasonally swampy, and are dominated by Poa poiformis (Labill.) Druce (very close to or identical with P. labillardieri var. (Volcanic plains)) and Notodanthonia semiannularis (Labill.) Zotov, along with T. triandra, and are also considered to be Gippsland Plains Grasslands (Sinclair 2007). Similar grasslands once occurred at Carrum (Sinclair 2007). Both the Westernport region and Safety Beach grasslands included Acacia melanoxylon R.Br. in the overstorey in some areas, and were transitional into grassy woodlands and Melaleuca ericifolia swamp scrub. 132
Table 12. Areal extent and conservation and reservation status of grassland and grassy woodland Ecological Vegetation Classes in Victoria by bioregion. Source: Traill and Porter (2001), June 2000 data from Department of Natural Resources and Environment. Conservation status: X = extinct, E = endangered, V = vulnerable, R = rare, D = depleted, LC = least concern; Reservation status: X = EVC not reaching reservation target, Y = reaches reservation target. Excludes swamp and wetland categories and tree or shrub dominated formations including a grassland component.
