Living in the Area » Council's Bush Regeneration Program   Bush regeneration involves carefully removing privets, vines and other non-native plants to enable indigenous native eucalypts, ferns, orchids and flowering shrubs to re-establish in the area. Council’s ongoing bush regeneration works to remove weeds from bushland so that: native plants are given more sunlight, air and water to establish, native plants are given more sunlight, air and water to establish native seeds stored in the ground are given the opportunity to germinate, fire hazard (such as excess weeds, vines, debris and ground fuel) is reduced along the edges of bushland the right habitat for native wildlife is encouraged. Council employs 7 full time bush regenerators and additional contract staff to work in the bushland reserves.
