Lake Bungana Revegetation

The City of Bayswater is inviting community members to take part in the restoration and enhancement of the vegetated area around Lake Bungana as part of water quality improvement works at Maylands Lakes.

This program of works aims to improve water quality, provide habitat for native animals and improve the visual amenity of Lake Bungana. The area is currently dominated by Paperbark (Melaleuca quinquenervia) and River Sheoak (Casuarina cunninghamiana) tree species.

As part of the Maylands Lakes Restoration Plan, the City is seeking to replace these invasive tree species with native vegetation along the Lake Bungana shore to assist with nutrient stripping and create a more diverse environment to provide habitat for fauna.

A community planting day, seeking to add 2,000 native plants to the area, will take place from 9am to 12pm on Sunday 4 August 2024.
