Attunga Heights Rehabilitation Specification 6
4.6 EVALUATION OF SUCCESS

To ensure that the rehabilitation program is successful it will be necessary to monitor progress
during initial work and throughout the 12 month on maintenance period. This will provide an
opportunity to identify whether revegetation is successful, where prescribed work has not been
implemented and where amendments should be made to the plan.

The number, spacing, species, size and survival of plants should be monitored during the planting
and establishment phase of rehabilitation. Concurrently the success of weed control should be
monitored to ensure that natural regeneration and planted specimens are not adversely affected.

An assessment can be made of the success of rehabilitation by comparing the diversity and
natural recruitment in adjacent undisturbed systems.
