Lake Brearley rehabilitation

The City is working to restore and enhance the vegetated area around Lake Brearley as part of water quality improvement works.

Works will take place over October and November and will involve replacing non-native vegetation (approximately 200 invasive woody weeds/tree species spanning Casuarina cunninghamii, Melaleuca quinquenervia and Callistemon) with 2,500 native tubestock.

Prior to the invasive vegetation being removed, it will be treated to reduce the likelihood of regrowth

A Community Planting Day will take place from 9am on Sunday 26 October where community members are invited to help install the native species.

Reticulation will be added in November to support the establishment of the new trees over the next two years.

During these works, a temporary fence and signage will be in place to ensure community safety with pedestrian management.
