Council will be carrying out weed and vegetation management works shortly in the Doolandella Recreation Reserve near Finetti Circuit and Adeline Close, Durack. Upcoming works will include:
- Conduct weed management along the northern interface of the reserve abutting Finetti Circuit and Adeline Close to reduce weed presence and seeding into the reserve. Weed treatments will focus on a range of species including (Cadaghi, Broadleaf Pepper tree, Chinese Elm, Tipuana Tipu, Easter Cassia, Leucaena, Agave, Yucca).
- Reinstate the original track width of the mown firebreak commencing from the end of Adeline Close and running eastward adjacent to and behind private residences.
- Reinstate vegetation clearances on the existing internal track off Adeline Close to provide for safer access for the public and management staff.
- Prepare an area of approximately 3,600m² located towards the Southwest corner of the reserve for future native restoration plantings. This area is currently occupied by weed vegetation and will be slashed, treated and blanket mulched for future native planting.
Works are expected to be completed by late June 2026, weather permitting. These improvements are an important step in restoring native vegetation and maintaining safe access throughout the Reserve.
