Consultation has concluded
Edinboro Street Reserve Eco-zoning
The City of Vincent would like to know your thoughts about the upcoming eco-zoning project at Edinboro Street Reserve, Mount Hawthorn.
Background
As part of The City's Greening Plan, we aim to:
Increase tree canopy cover on land managed by the City of Vincent.
Increase the diversity and overall height of trees and other vegetation; and
Linking areas of existing habitat and biodiversity through new habitat plantings across the City.
Eco-zoning is the conversion of underutilised turf areas into waterwise native gardens. Over time this not only saves water but also increases habitat and biodiversity within the City.
What’s proposed?
The City has developed a plan to extend the existing garden beds bordering the perimeter of the reserve and to remove / replace the unhealthy exotic tree species with native trees that will have a positive ecological impact.
Please see the proposed Eco-zoning plans attached for Edinboro Street Reserve.
The City is proposing the below native species for planting and we would like your feedback regarding the selection.
Tree options (Western Australian Natives)
Corymbia calophylla 'rosea' - Pink flower Marri
Eucalyptus gomphocephala - Tuart
Eucalyptus wandoo - Wandoo
Feature shrubs / ground cover options (Western Australian Natives Preferred)
Banksia
Hakea
Grevillea
Melaleuca
Why have we chosen these species?
To provide a food source and habitat linkages in a fragmented environment for native fauna such as our endangered Carnaby's Black Cockatoo (Zanda latirostris).
The proposed species have also proven to perform well in the City's previous plantings as they are adapted to local conditions.
Share your thoughts
If you have any feedback on the proposed eco-zoning, please fill out the survey below or contact the City via email or phone.
Visit us at the City of Vincent Library, 99 Loftus Street (during office hours)
Next Steps
After the consultation period closes, City staff will summarise all feedback and present recommendations to Council. Everyone who provides feedback will be notified when the project is scheduled to be considered by Council. Members of the public are welcome to attend the Council Briefing and Council Meeting to ask questions or comment on the project.
