                  Task                 Description

                  Tube stock                   ▪    Source tube stocks from nurseries within a 200 kilometre radius of the Rehabilitation Area.
                  Provenance                   ▪    Ensure tube stocks of allied Myrtaceae species (i.e. Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Melaleuca, Lophostemon, Angophora and Syzygium sp)
                                                    are free from Myrtle Rust and fungal pathogens.
                  Site Preparation     Regrowth areas
                                               ▪ Carefully select planting sites to avoid disturbing existing native plants and their root systems.
                                               ▪ Prepare planting site by digging 200mm deep holes into moist soil.
                                       Cleared area east of the driveway
                                               ▪ Spot spray 1m diameter circles around planting sites with Glyphosate or hand weed to reduce competition from grasses and other
                                                    non-native species.
                  Planting                     ▪ Pour approximately 1 litre of water into the hole and allow it to soak in.
                                               ▪ Place the plant in the hole and backfill carefully.
                                               ▪ Create a dish-shaped depression around the stem of the plant to aid in moisture retention.
                                               ▪ Pour another litre of water on top of the depression.
                                               ▪ Stake each plant with a bamboo stake or tree guard if there is evidence of macropod browsing.
                                               ▪ Maintain a 1 metre weed-free diameter around each plant until they reach 1 metre in height.
                                               ▪ Mulch from the chipped weed trees may be used to aid establishment and restrict weed growth if it is seed-free.
                                               ▪ Time planting to occur during or immediately after rain to maximise survival rates.
                  Planting Density     Cleared area east of the driveway – Dense filter strip planting (130m2)
                                               ▪ 0.5-1.0m spacings to stabilise the batter and filter any sediment/nutrient runoff.
                                               ▪ Approximately 100 plants required.
                                       Regrowth areas
                                          - Infill planting of non-native dominated regrowth areas (890m2)
                                               ▪ 1-2m spacings between tree and shrub species.
                                               ▪ 0.5-1.0m spacings between Lomandra, sedge and groundcover species along edge of channel.
                                               ▪ Approximately 200 plants required.
                                          - Infill planting of native dominated regrowth areas (1,380m2)
                                               ▪ Increase plant diversity in wattle-dominated areas with a diversity of wet sclerophyll and rainforest species.
                                               ▪ Approximately 200 plants required
                  Watering                     ▪ If conditions are dry, water in after planting. Water regularly for 2 weeks, then water weekly for 6 weeks.
