The City of Vincent will soon be delivering two new eco-zoning projects at Britannia Road Reserve in Mt Hawthorn.
Background
Vincent began its Eco-zoning program in February 2011, which is the conversion of under used turf areas into waterwise native gardens.
As well as reducing the pressure on groundwater use, it increases habitat and biodiversity through careful species selection. These include local and Australian natives that are adapted to our local conditions and require minimal water, fertiliser, soil amendments and maintenance.
Increasing the areas of native plantings increases habitat and food sources for our local fauna species. Supporting and caring for our local systems leads to healthy and thriving eco-systems.
Project details
The two new eco-zoning locations are at Britannia Road Reserve and Litis Stadium verge of Britannia Road, Mt Hawthorn.
Both locations will be enhanced with a range of suitable hardy natives.
The total area being converted is approximately 1,400 square metres and the estimated saving of annual ground water is 1.008kL (1008 litres).
Work is scheduled to
start around April/May when the weather has cooled and rains are expected.
Once completed, these projects will eliminate the need for irrigation and be watered with a water truck when necessary.
