Vegetation Condition Benchmarks Scrub, heathland and coastal complexes SWR Western regrowth complex Community Description: Western regrowth complex (SWR) comprises open sedgeland, shrubland or scrub characterised by disturbance adaptive species on highly disturbed sites in the north-west of the state. It is distinguished by combinations of Acacia mucronata, A. dealbata, A. melanoxylon and Baloskion tetraphyllum, with a high proportion of bare ground and little or no soil. This benchmark describes the scrub component of this complex.
