The City is due to commence the final stage of the greenway development at Point Resolution in July 2019.The greenway expansion follows on from the first and second stages which were completed in 2016 and 2018.
Invasive weed control commenced in late June, the installation of certified mulch, fencing and 7000 water-wise locally occurring native shrubs and ground covers are due to be installed in late July. This project will increase the area of bushland at Point Resolution by approximately 0.7 of a hectare by converting part of the reticulated lawn area to a native garden.

Annual Bushland Spraying Program
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link
The annual spraying program is being undertaken by Contractors from July through to October 2019 to control environmental weeds in the following bushland areas:
- Shenton Bushland
- Allen Park
- Hollywood Reserve
- Birdwood Parade Bushland
- Point Resolution Bushland
- Mt Claremont Oval Bushland
- Mt Claremont Community Centre
- Swanbourne Estate
The City will be focusing on the control of bulbous weeds, and annual and perennial grass weeds using the herbicides listed below:
- Metsulfuron-methyl: used to control bulbous weeds
- 2 2-DPA (Dalapon): used to control bulbous weeds
- Glyphosate: used in conjunction with metsulfuron-methyl to control bulbous weeds
- Fusilade: used to control annual and perennial grass weeds.
Signage will be displayed whilst these works are occurring.
The City undertakes environmental weed control to improve biodiversity values and to reduce the negative impacts environmental weeds cause to the ecosystems, for example they compete with native plants, thereby reducing the species and diversity for both flora and fauna.
Environmental weeds cause erosion, alter water availability, change soil nutrients, increase the likelihood of bush fires and change the vegetation communities within bushland areas.
