The Council considered the report on the management plans at its ordinary meeting of Council on 28 May, 2019 (Reference PD19.19). The Council referred the plans to a workshop of Council.

Once the plans have been considered at the workshop, they will be re-presented to Council for consideration and final approval.

Further updates on the progress of this project and the Council Committee date will be provided on this engagement page.

Thank you to everyone who has participated in the development of the draft management plans and to those who provided comments on them.

The City will now review all comments and will be preparing a report to Council together with the updated plans from the consultation undertaken.

It is anticipated that the plans will be presented to Council during the May round of Council meetings.

This engagement page will be updated as we finalise these important plans for our bushland reserves.

Once again, thank you to everyone who participated in this review.

Some people have asked where our natural areas are. Please see the map below (click on the heading above) which identifies the natural areas within our City.

The overall map can be found in the following documents:

• Natural Areas Management Plan (Page 11)
• Shenton Bushland (Page 8)
• Allen Park Management Plan (Page 8)
• Mt Claremont Oval Reserve Bushland Management Plan (Page 7)
• Hollywood Reserve Management Plan (Page 7)
• Point Resolution Management Plan (Page 7)
• Birdwood Parade Management Plan (Page 7)

Thank you to those people who bought this issue to our attention. The issue has now been resolved. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Each management plan aims to address key issues for each of the reserves and the City as a whole which the City and the 'Friends of' groups need to focus on for the next five years.

In addition to providing comment on the entire plan, the City would like to know your thoughts about the priorities going forward.

These priorities are presented as a summary of actions for each reserve (refer document library).

Please provide your comments on each of the actions plans by visiting the forum section on this engagement page.

The focus is on improving bushland condition and providing management actions on:

• Management boundaries
• Rehabilitation
• Re-vegetation
• Weed control
• Plant pathogen management
• Fire management
• Access
• Community involvement
• Cultural heritage, interpretation and education
• Native animals
