CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.
The City's contractors commenced the annual bushland reserves environmental weed control program in July and have completed the grass control program. The contractors will be continuing with bulbous weed control until mid-October.
The control environmental weeds is being undertaken in the following bushland areas:
- Shenton Bushland
- Allen Park
- Hollywood Reserve
- Birdwood Parade
- Point Resolution
- Mount Claremont Oval Reserve
- Mount 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.
For further information, please contact Vicki Shannon, the City's Environmental Conservation Coordinator on (08) 9273 3500, or email vshannon@nedlands.wa.gov.au.

The City undertakes environmental weed control to improve biodiversity values and to reduce the negative impacts environmental weeds that weeds cause to the ecosystems, for example they compete with the native plants, thereby reducing the species and diversity for both flora and fauna.

Environmental weeds causes erosion, alters water availability, changes soil nutrients, increases the likelihood of bush fires, and changes the vegetation communities within bushland areas.
Heritage Incentive Policies

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

At the Council Meeting on the 22nd May 2018 two Heritage Incentive Policies were adopted for the benefit those owners whose properties are listed on the Municipal Inventory (MI).

The Refund of Planning Fees for Places of Heritage Significance Policy and the Heritage Advice for Owners of Places of Heritage Significance Policy are the two Heritage Incentive Policies adopted by Council. These documents can be found in the document library on this page.
These policies provide various benefits for property owners on the MI in terms of providing refunds of planning fees for developments that propose to conserve or improve the heritage aspects of a place and to provide heritage advice sessions with heritage professionals engaged by the City where the City will bear the cost of a maximum of five hours. The provisions and requirements of these benefits are explained within the policies.
The MI is a list of properties and places within our City with cultural heritage significance. It also provides details which describe why each listed property or place is special.

Grass Tree Burning - Shenton Bushland - completed

Share Grass Tree Burning - Shenton Bushland - completed on Facebook Share Grass Tree Burning - Shenton Bushland - completed on Twitter Share Grass Tree Burning - Shenton Bushland - completed on Linkedin Email Grass Tree Burning - Shenton Bushland - completed link

CLOSED: This work has now finished.

The City completed the grass tree burning at Shenton Bushland on Tuesday the 21 August. The grass trees were burnt to reduce fine fuel loads within the reserve and the burnt areas will be monitored to assess weed growth and native flora regeneration.
The City burning of dead grass tree skirts was undertaken across approximately two hectares of the Shenton bushland.
This project aimed to reduce fine fuel loads within the hazard separation zone in the reserve. Shenton bushland has a high proportion of grass trees with many having long unburnt dead skirts which are a source of fine fuels. Fine fuel loads consist of grasses and small twigs which are less than 6mm in diameter.
These fine fuels contribute to the intensity and spread of fire in the event of an unplanned fire and this work will assist the City to help protect property by reducing the build-up of flammable fuel loads.
For further information, please contact Vicki Shannon, the City's Environmental Conservation Coordinator on (08) 9273 3500, or email vshannon@nedlands.wa.gov.au.
