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 infill gaps that may occur along the boundary of the parkland as a
result of historical disturbance and weed removal. Revegetation 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 role species perform in the natural vegelation community; and

" The objective of the ERP (e.g. provision of fauna habitat, restore RE community, movement
opportunities etc).
