Shoalhaven City Council

Narla Environmental Pty Ltd was engaged by Shoalhaven City Council to prepare rehabilitation and monitoring plans for 13 sites across the Shoalhaven Local Government Area (LGA). The rehabilitation monitoring plans covered an area of approximately 175ha of Bangalay Sand Forest, Coastal Saltmarsh, Littoral Rainforest, Swamp Oak Floodplain Forest, Swamp Sclerophyll Forest, Illawarra Subtropical Rainforest and Freshwater Wetland Endangered Ecological Communities. The rehabilitation and monitoring plans included:

  • Vegetation condition assessments to council guidelines across all sites

  • Comprehensive list of exotic vegetation with a focus on Priority weeds listed under the Biosecurity Act

  • Staged work programs for years 1, 2, and 3

  • Fine-scale endangered ecological community condition mapping of each site

The rehabilitation and monitoring plans will act as the guiding documents responsible for the restoration and rehabilitation of 175ha of endangered ecological communities across the Shoalhaven City Council LGA.
