Seaford Rail Extension Vegetation Management Plan
5.2 Management Area 4
Management Area 4 has been extensively modified through the clearing of vegetation, grazing
and the planting of non-local vegetation. Native vegetation is considered to be in poor condition,
with the exception of the intertidal and supratidal zones where samphire and chenopod
communities exist. Large areas of non native trees and shrubs have been planted on the upper
slopes along the western border while large areas of open exotic grass / herblands are
dominating the outer riparian zone.
Extensive woody weed control activities have been undertaken in recent years resulting in a
significant reduction in Olive and Boxthorn infestations. Follow up control will be required in
areas designated for revegetation.
