Moonee Ponds Creek Rehabilitation Project

This project covers several sites along the Moonee Ponds Creek including Strathnaver Reserve, Boeing Reserve, Ormond Park and Travancore Park. The project will control weeds such as Serrated Tussock, African Boxthorn, Artichoke Thistle, Broom and Fennel and control erosion by re-vegetation with local shrubs and ground cover. These plantings will also suppress exotic weeds, create linkages and provide habitat for indigenous fauna. The participants will work with a variety of land managers including Melbourne Water, local government, contractors and community ‘Friends Groups’. There will be an opportunity to work on a variety of different sites including culturally sensitive sites, threatened vegetation types and general amenity parks.
