Weed Control Weeds listed under Noosa Counci! Pest Management Plan (2001-2004) are listed in
_ Tablé 4 and control methods are illustrated in Table 5. Each exotic species recorded on
site has been assigned a specific method of contro! (Table 6).
Hand removal is the preferred method of herbaceous weed control near creeks and
waterways, however, where this is ineffective RoundUp Bioactive, or a similar product
suitable for use in waterways, may be used.
Particular care must be taken to avoid poisoning native species, particularly young
saplings, native grasses and herbaceous species.
Exotic grasses are to be treated (by spraying) 2-3 weeks prior to planting — particular care
must be taken to avoid spraying native grasses. Woody and herbaceous species are also
; to be treated prior to planting. ‘ ae ae
Two weeks following spraying of rank exotic grasses these are to be knocked down by
brushcutting — particular care must be taken to avoid slashing native species.

Site Preparation Any rubbish will need to be collected and disposed of offsite at a Council approved
location or rubbish disposal depot.
Mulch Blanket muiching (hoop pine mulch) to a depth of 100mm will be undertaken across the
site
Jute matting may be required along the creek bank.
Plant Supply Seedlings shall be sourced from local provenance stock (where possible).
Species and numbers are scheduled in Table 3.
Planting stock shall be provided in forestry tubes with a minimum plant height of 20cm
and a well developed root system.
Seedlings are to be heaithy and displaying signs of active growth — any plants displaying
yellowing, disease, root curling or are root bound are not to be planted, nor are any plants
with weeds growing in the pot.
Planting Planting technique is illustrated below:
i = sf Tubestock Planting
Plant in a slight shallow twice the size of
the tube container, ensuring rootball is just
below soil surface.
Fertiliser tablet to be placed adjacent to,
but not touching, the rootball
Soil to be backfilled to the same level as
when the plant was in the container
Mulch to a depth of 100mm to surround
plant, but not touch the stem.
Seedlings must be moist at time of planting, if necessary water stock prior to planting.
Trees are to be planted at 5m centres or at 2m centres for screening purposes. Shrubs
are to be planted at 2m centres or at 1m centres for screening purposes. Ground covers
are to be planted at between 0.5m-1m centres (Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 3).
Watering Seedlings are to be watered with a minimum of 5 — 10 litres of water each at the time of
planting and then watered as part of general maintenance requirements.
Habitat Features Habitat features such as rocks, fallen branches and dead trees and shrubs in ail-Areas
. . are to be retained in situ unless they pose a safety risk.
Maintenance and Plantings will be maintained for a minimum period of 12 months.
