Vegetation management

The precinct contains existing ecological and conservation values and revegetation/re-habitation opportunities, including the native vegetation, potential roosting habitat and waterway conservation corridor.

How does our plan manage existing vegetation and support ongoing conservation?

• The precinct has designated conservation areas along Russell Creek and to the Tozer Reserve and surrounding vegetation for ongoing conservation.

• The conservation areas will be buffered from the impacts of urban development by designating vegetation management buffers, parks and public reserve. The ongoing conservation will be also supported by abutting new development that must provide a conservation masterplan to support re-habitation for species such as Growling Grass Frogs.

• New development will be required to protect existing native vegetation and incorporate the retention and revegetation into the landscape plan.
