Revegetation Works Plan

The City of Bayswater has prepared a revegetation plan to restore the bushland around Maylands Lakes over the next ten years. Non-endemic species have grown to become detrimental to the natural balance of the ecosystem within the region. Many years ago, during development of the Lakes, these were planted without the knowledge of their effects on the environment that we understand today. In order to rectify this, ongoing clearing of smaller introduced trees will occur around the entire area. Clearing of large stands of trees will take place as a staged process, as seen on the map, allowing the new vegetation to establish, providing habitat for the various species of fauna around the lakes and attract those that have not been present for many years due to the loss of natural habitat.
