The Northern Plains Grassland (NPGL) is an open, shrubby temperate grassland community located in northern Victoria straddling the Murray Darling Depression and Wimmera, extending to the Riverina and South Western Slopes regions in southern New South Wales.[1] Floristically rich, the area features 30 native plant species per 100 m2.[2]

The community is listed as threatened under Victoria’s Flora and Fauna Guarantee (FFG) Act 1998. Three vegetation communities exist within: Plains Grassland, Chenopod Grassland and Plains Savannah.[3]
