A greenway is a habitat corridor of protected open space that is managed to support and enhance the natural environment. The significant characteristic of a greenway is that it connects with a network of areas, linking bushlands, parks, cultural and historic sites with each other and with urban areas. Greenways not only enrich the local environment, they also provide people with access to outdoor recreation and enjoyment close to home.

An example of a greenway follows:

Developing greenways on grassed verges with native seedlings has several benefits:

• Native seedlings require significantly less water;
• Fertiliser is not needed to maintain greenways;
• Native seedlings have beautiful and unique flowers,
• Greenways support native wildlife, such as birds and butterflies,
• Greenways are easy to care for and maintain; and
• Native seedlings don’t pose a risk of becoming weeds in local bushlands.

Greenways are important because they:

• Preserve and create open space;
• Improve air quality;
• Improve water quality through biofiltration;
• Reduce water and fertiliser consumption;
• Provide  habitat for fauna such as birds, butterflies and lizards;
• Provide corridors for wildlife (particularly birds);
• Increase biodiversity;
• Provide a role in environmental education; and
• Use local native seedlings that our insects and birds have evolved with.
