Vegetation Management Plan - Bidjigal ReserveD) Seed Bank Trials – if trials are set up in selected areas to determine site resilience prior toplanting, regular quadrat monitoring will also be required.E) General Assessment of Progress - the following PIs are suggested as a way of monitoring progressof bush regeneration and rehabilitation works:• An increase in the cover of indigenous vegetation in each Management Zone/Unit (to bedetermined via quadrat sampling –see Appendix 12);• An increase in the number of indigenous plant species recorded in each Management Zone/Unit;• No net loss of any indigenous plant species recorded in any Management Zone/Unit.• A decrease in the number of hours performing follow-up weed control recorded within eachManagement Zone/Unit;• Natural regeneration of seedlings of each indigenous plant species recorded in eachManagement Zone, Unit;• Flowering and fruiting of each indigenous plant species recorded in each Management Zone,Unit;• Increase in the number of native fauna species recorded within the site overall (optimumlevels to be determined);• No net loss of any native fauna species recorded within the Reserve overall, consideringsome species are migratory and some are dependent on water being present; and• Decrease in the effect of each threatening process recorded within the Reserve overall(optimum levels to be determined).8.7 Indicative Timetable for Bushland ManagementTable 8.1 provides an indicative timetable of works for the next five (5) years. Regeneration andrestoration of bushland will occur over a medium to long-term timeframe, being up to 20 years forlarge sites, with distinct areas being worked in series (or sequence).After completion of initial primary weeding, it must be recognised that regular follow-up andmaintenance weeding are vital to the success of the bush regeneration program. Weed control andthe management of bushfire hazard will necessarily be on-going.Priority ranking for worksites has been provided in Section 4, Table 4.7. However, sequence andduration of on-ground works in each site will very much depend on the resources available, on thesupport provided by community volunteers and others, and most particularly on site response.UBM Ecological Consultants Pty Ltd 154
