REF for Natural Area Management Works at MM Beach, Boilers Point and Hill 60 Port Kembla

The primary objectives of the Natural Area Management Works at MM Beach, Boilers Point and Hill 60 Port Kembla include:
• To improve native resilience in coastal plant community types
• To stabilise dune systems and prevent coastal erosion
• To reduce the area of WCC LGA natural areas impacted by invasive weeds
• To monitor works progress/completion using visual and/or quadrat-based documentation

Works include:
• Primary weed control targeting woody weeds using non-ground penetrating ‘cut and paint’ and ‘drill and frill’ methods.
• Removal of weed trees at the root level (will require ground disturbance) where required.
• Secondary weed control within primary treated areas to address weed re-growth.
• Installation of erosion control measures where necessary using Jute matting and coir logs.
• Revegetation of the dune and sea cliff communities using appropriate local native plant species.
