<strong>Seaford</strong> <strong>Rail</strong> Extension <strong>Vegetation</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

5.3.1 Weed control<br />

Weed control within Area 8 is targeted within the riparian and outer riparian ecological zones<br />

and is closely aligned with proposed revegetation. Weed control should commence within<br />

proposed revegetation areas then extend to other locations, depending on funding availability.<br />

Major weed species for control include; Olea europaea (Olive), Melaleuca nesophila (Showy<br />

Honey-myrtle) Lycium ferocissimum (African Boxthorn), Acacia cyclops (Western Coast Wattle)<br />

and Lagunaria patersonia (Norfolk Island Hibiscus).<br />

Significant weed infestations are located within the upper slopes of Area 8. These areas have<br />

not been displayed in Figure 9 as control will depend on funding availability from alternative<br />

sources.<br />

Table 26 outlines priority weed species to be targeted within <strong>Management</strong> Area 8. Included are<br />

their distribution and a time and cost estimate for control over five years.<br />
