There exists an urgent need to rehabilitate salt-affected and degraded wetlands in the south-west of Western Australia, particularly in water resource catchments. Various rehabilitation techniques have been developed for such areas, which address the problem of integrating water catchment management and surrounding land use. Despite this, there has been limited success in restoring salt affected wetlands in the south west region of Western Australia.

This site was chosen because of its broad application in assessing rehabilitation potentials. It is on the western side of the new Collie Power Station, under construction in Collie. The site has been degraded by salinity, grazing and clearing. This study reviews rehabilitation practices in salt-affected wetlands and maps the physical features and vegeta
