November Update
Dear residents,
I'm pleased to say we've had great success with our increased planting schedule this year, most recently you may have noticed the Ironbark trees within the medians along Davies Road. This tree species can better withstand hard weather conditions plus the PSHB which is unfortunately increasing amongst the state's tree population.
The weather recently has been favourable for planting, however, it has also seen an increased growth of weeds along footpaths, in medians and within gardens. Bushland areas around Lake Claremont are hand weeded by local volunteer groups such as the Friends of Lake Claremont and local high school students. I'd like to thank everyone who takes part in this, with hundreds of bags of weeds filled following each weeding session.
