The Otway Plain bioregion covers approximately 238 thousand hectares extending over five local government areas and two catchment management regions. It extends from just east of Princetown to the Bellarine Peninsula, and includes outlying areas at Werribee, Glenaire and Apollo Bay. Most of the bioregion is private freehold dominated by agriculture and there are several large blocks of public land. Only 31% still has a cover of native vegetation, and less than 15% is in formal reserves. However, it still contains examples of most of its original vegetation types, and includes extensive areas of significant wetland habitat. Two species of flora and fauna are extinct, whilst of the remaining species, 165 species are considered rare or threatened, including 94 plants, 10 mammals, 52 birds, 4 reptiles/amphibians, 3 fish and 2 invertebrates.
