PHYTOPHTHORA DIEBACK: Is It Killing The Plants On
Your Property?
Phytophthora dieback is a
plant disease caused by the introduced plant pathogen
Phytophthora cinnamomi. Previously called Jarrah dieback,
the disease affects over 40% of plant species in the southwest and
is recognised as a major threat to our local biodiversity, cultural
and economic values. Once soil is infected it can not be
eradicated, but through simple hygiene and management actions, its
impact and rate of spread can be reduced.

Signage System (March 2009)
'One Signage System for All'
WA's Project Dieback Team with the State Dieback Consutative
Committee, Dieback Working Group and Department of Environment
& Conservation have developed a unified dieback signage
system. This new signage, funded by state and federal
governments, has been finalised this year and is
now standard across Western Australia. It is already in
use by over ten Local Governments Agencies, plus regional
councils, NRMs and private companies. The
signage includes an integrated system using dieback
current status symbols aiming to raise dieback awareness and
to assist in protecting special areas still free from the
disease.
