Initiatives in Action

Focus on Bush Regeneration

A survey of the native vegetated areas of the Wollongong Campus was completed in 2008. The work involved an assessment of all bushland areas within the Wollongong campus and the results are compiled in the Vegetation Management Plan (VMP). The VMP provides information on:

• Vegetation community classifications
• Native & weed species lists
• Significant or threatened native species
• Relevant weed control methodologies

Associated Bush Regeneration work commenced in 2009 in accordance with the VMP prepared.  Before and after photographs are available to view the work completed to date. Two are provided on the right hand side of this page. The initial work has concentrated on the bushland adjacent to the Sports facilities on the North boundary of the Wollongong Campus. The work involves primary weed removal, follow up spraying, revegetation and maintenance activities.

Bush regeneration activities were extended to cover the remainder of Zone 1 in 2009.
