Concept Plan Summary - Restoration Zones
The table below shows summarised proposed works in specific zones, including artists impressions of the area after restoration.
 |
Zone 1
|
Restoration to include bank stabilisation works:
- Enhance current rock rip-rap to reduce wave impacts and slumping on the embankment;
- Removal of weeds;
- Minor bank regrading;
- Installation of vegetated palisades in over steep section of embankment;
- Jute matting of exposed soils;
- Dense planting of embankment and top of embankment
- Planting to blend with adjacent bush forever area.
|
 |
Zone 2A |
Restoration works intended to provide enhancement and continuity accross the site by:
- Dense planting with native sedges and scattered low;
- Sporobolus virginicus (Marine couch) to be used to integrate turf and beach area on north east corner, closest to the jetty;
- Install temporary fencing around new plantings until they are fully established;
- Maintain existing areas of amenity grass;
- Formalise access by providing wider, clear paths to sand bars.
|
 |
Zone 2B
|
Intensive restoration to retain existing Casuarina obesa includes:
- Brushmattressing in the small beach between the trees;
- Rock rip-rap as toe protection for the exposed root material;
- Dense planting within the brushmattressing and the rock rip-rap;
- Planting of native shrubs (up to 600 mm high) up to the current grass line;
- Small platforms to provide access to water and sitting area under shade trees.
|
|
|
Zone 2C
|
Restoration works:
- Regrade bank to reduce slope and reduce resulting erosion from wave energy;
- Turf to be reinstated, allowing area for temporary stage;
- Reprofilling of the bank will improve passive surveillance and connection between higher grassed areas and the beach;
- Araucaria heterophyila (Japanese Pepper) trees to be removed as part of a staged tree removal process. Native trees, providing good shade coverage, to be reinstated.
|
|
Zone 2D
|
Restoration works
Minor regrading to integrate with Zone 2C. Turf reinstatement where required.
|
 |
Zone 3A
|
Restoration works and public access works:
- Create small vegetated nodes to enhance existing vegetation and create coves.
- Minor regrading of bank between nodes to improve access.
- Planting of advanced native trees within grassed area to increase density and shade coverage.
|
 |
Zone 3B
|
Restoration and public access work:
- Extend rock rip-rap to west and intergrate better with boat ramp.
- Opportunistic planting within rock rip-rap to create a softer edge.
- Boardwalk along carpark edge to provide safe, defined access along top of rock rip-rap.
|
 |
Zone 4A
|
Restoration and public assess works:
- Removal of all woody weeds, replaced with advanced trees in stages;
- Minor regrading or bank to create a gentler slope to the beach;
- Brushmattressing to area of regrading and dense planting of native vegetation;
- Reinstatement of rock rip-rap alongside boat ramp;
- Opportunistic planting within rock rip-rap;
- Boardwalk to replace existing concrete steps and ramp;
- Small extension of public footpath.
|
|
|
Zone 4B
|
Area of revegetation requires:
- Removal of all woody weeds;
- Staged removal of selected trees, replaced with advanced native trees;
- Planting of native shrub, sedge and rush species;
- Revegetation of current grassed plain between beach and current vegitation.
