Recent research by the University of Western Australia and CSIRO has highlighted the potential value that remnant native vegetation can have on the value of rural lifestyle properties.
The research indicates that based on around 40 percent vegetation cover, a rural lifestyle property could increase in value by around 12 percent.
The research showed that property values increase not only by having native vegetation on a property but through being being located near to bushland as well as other habitats such as rivers and streams.
This information is not only important for property owners but also for organisations seeking to increase the amount of native vegetation in an area be it through revegetation of streams or development of biodiversity corridors.
