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

5.4.1 Weed control<br />

Weed control within Area 7 is aimed at controlling Pennisetum clandestinum (Kikuyu) that is<br />

invading the high quality samphire and Gahnia communities that exist along the border with<br />

Area 8. <strong>Management</strong> options include spraying with herbicide then burning. If this technique is<br />

adopted contact and permission must be obtained from all relevant authorities and close liaison<br />

with local council (City of Onkaparinga) and CFS. One patch of Cortaderia sellaona (Common<br />

Pampas Grass) and one Lycium ferocissimum (African Boxthorn) is also found within this area.<br />

Significant woody weed infestations exist within the upper slopes of Area 7. These areas have<br />

not been identified in Figure 13 as they are considered to have low conservation value. Control<br />

will depend on funding availability from alternative sources.<br />
