  CLOSED: This discussion has been updated.
  

  The City is undertaking burning of dead grass tree skirts across approximately two hectares (see map below) of the Shenton bushland during July/August, weather depending. Ground burning will not occur as it will be limited to clumps of tall grass trees with a priority for those grasstrees under Jarrah and Banksia canopies.

  This work will be undertaken by experienced fire management contractors. During this time internal pathways will be closed to ensure walker safety. The City will also be monitoring the burnt areas to assess weed growth and native flora regeneration.

  This project aims 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.

  This project has slowed due to the weather conditions. The concreting works planned for this week have now been postponed until Monday 11 June, depending on the weather forecast.

  Works include the removal of existing slab pavers and the installation of a new concrete footpath which will be slightly wider than the existing footpath on the northern side of Princess Road, between Mountjoy Road and Marita Road.

  The City will make the necessary reticulation adjustments to accommodate the new path. If you are a resident or property owner in the project area, and your reticulation is damaged, the City will carry out all necessary repairs. However notification of any damage must be reported to the City within two weeks of completion of the work, as the City cannot accept liability after this time.

  Thank you for your patience while this work is being undertaken.
