3.3.2          Weed Disposal

Waste vegetation should be placed in a disposable bag, sealed and disposed of off site or placed in a
Council approved facility. Burning of cleared exotic vegetation is not a permitted disposal technique.




Revegetation works will be required to inflll gaps that may occur along the boundary of the parkland as a
result of historical disturbance and weed removal.             Revegetatiort efforts should commence immediately
following the completion of the gabion wall.

A variety of species have been recommended as part of the treatment type and is detailed in Appendix A.
Recommended species selection for revegetation has been made according to:


        Naturally occurring vegetation within the parkland area;
        The individual growth form of species;
        Ecological function of species;
        The structural rote species perform In the natural vegetation community; and
        The objective of the LHi' (e.g. provision of fauna habitat, restore RE Community, movement
        opportunities etc).
