Management of bushland
The City undertakes a number of activities to manage its bushland areas including weed control, fencing, installing paths and signage, feral animal control, fire management and revegetation.
The City has identified five bushland reserves as Major Conservation Areas due to their high biodiversity values, ecological connectivity and regional importance. The City has developed Natural Area Management Plans for these reserves:
- Lilburne Park
- Warwick Open Space Bushland
- Hepburn Heights Conservation Area
- Shepherds Bush Reserve
- Craigie Bushland
The City has also developed Management Plans to guide how it manages some of the key threats to our bushland areas including:
- Weed Management Plan
- Pathogen Management Plan.
