17,000 native species to be planted on Hyde Park’s islands

The City of Vincent, in collaboration with Natural Area Consulting Management Services will begin the first of its planned re-plantings to restore island vegetation lost to Polyphagous shot-hole borer (PSHB).

A total of 17,000 native species will be planted across both islands, starting on Monday 20 April, with works expecting to take around one week.

Among the species to be planted are Indian Pennywort (Centella asiatica), Prickly Conostylis (Conostylis aculeata), Coastal Saw-sedge (Gahnia trifida) and Soft-stem Bulrush (Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani).

The replanting follows recent preparation works, which included weeding and the removal of three dead melaleuca trees.
