INTRODUCTION
Research and development is a process that help organisations to increase their
production. It also implements all the innovative ideas to create new technologies. This report
will discuss about the vegetation management prepared by the government of Australia. This
site is basically located within The Hills Shire Council local government areas. This assignment
will outline all the information regarding site, name, and description of land, location, project
plan, objectives, time frame, overall budget and images of site. Furthermore, this report will
discuss about planning and strategies which can assist in managing overall details of site related
to the development.

Aspect South- North
LGA (Local government agency) The Hills Shire Council
Location details-
This site is basically located on the hill shire council which is Australian local
government area at south and north areas of 9 Ross place, Kellyville. The land is basically
maintained by local government agency that consists of vegetation and residential dwellings
(Bell, 2018).
Land history management-
The vegetation management site is located in 9 Ross place, Kellyville. In 2018, the site was
mainly focused towards the areas and location. It is also beneficial for the regenerating and
replanting the plants and is beneficial for the purpose of planting (Cho, 2018). It is useful for
regenerating and replanting properly. It is also useful for protecting all the weed species. There
are different methods to manage the history of land.
 Weed control method
 Infill planting
2. Stakeholders
Name and contact of client The Hill Shire Council
Other relevant stakeholders
 Contractor
 Industry trade group
 Regulatory agencies
 Supplier
 Distributors
3. Overall objectives behind developing a plan of management
Objectives Specified in client
 To improve the ecological health and integrate with the riparian corridor.
 To enhance and maintain the habitat value of species.
5

 To promote the community of education towards the vegetation management plan areas. To maintain the vegetation plans to store clean water within the vegetation management
plan area.
Biodiversity conservation
The conservation of biodiversity is important for the environmental because there are
various types of biological organisms that exists in the environment (Micallef and Rangel-
Buitrago, 2019). In the term of ecological environment, there are various type of living species
such as animal, plans and microbes, etc. Main aim of Biodiversity conservation is to protect,
manage and enhance biodiversity (Bibbings, Bieluga and Mills, 2018).
Pest species control
Pest species control is required for maintaining and controlling living organism. Owner
of the land is responsible for the protection of the land in a responsible manner. Land owner
takes necessary decisions in order to maintain the soil erosion on the site. (Lüdeke-Freund and
et.al., 2019). It is important to construct and sediment fencing to exclude the rabbit. The owner
also conducted programs that might be useful for the site in order to manage vegetation areas.
They always monitor the evidence of species at the site.
Heritage and culture issues
It is recommended for regenerating and replanting on the site. The worker always
participate for maintain the heritage culture of site. They also used the precautionary approach to
adopt that help for minimise the risk of damaging the culture.
Environmental impacts
The Amendment of abiotic condition are impacted on the natural regeneration. It also
applied the areas to perceive the native plant resilience in the form of propagates and soil stored.
The Australian association always try to restore the bushland and there main aim to increase the
growth of site. It has ability to migrate on the site by using suitable management.

4. Scope of project
The scope of project is to create ecological healthy environment that can help in
maintaining the habitat values of species. It is beneficial for communities to make plans in order
to maintain their site areas effectively and efficiently. (Lewis and Axel, 2019). It is important to
grow more tree and plants at the site for better environmental conditions. The main objective of
this project to maintain the environmental condition properly. The plan will be executed on the
basis of need and requirement. Important steps for making project development plan are:
 Planning
 Analysing activities
 Allocation of resources
 Determining time-scale
 Assigning roles and responsibilities
 Execution of activities
 Control and evaluation
5. Budget
The actual cost of project is appropriately $180,999 exclusive of CPI and GST. This is
the overall cost calculated for the entire vegetation management plan. This cost is inversely
proportional to the commercial cost of project (Bichard and et.al., 2018). Wood control
technique is implemented for the treatment of vegetation management plan. There are
approximate 16,865 plant necessary for managing the environmental condition of site. The total
cost of vegetation is appropriately $48,325.

Land use-
The land is used for the purpose of sporting and residential areas.
Land tenure-
Land Zoning-
Zone: 1 Regenerations- Bushland
This zone encompasses 0.06 of western portion of the bushland and this area is between
the fire trail and road (Bell, 2018). The vegetation condition of this zone is good. It also
regenerates the native mid storey species and shrub. This zone is mainly focused towards the
woody weeds and their exotic grasses that allow for regeneration of the native shrubs and
canopy trees. The area requires no vegetation.
Zone: 2 Assisted regeneration – Bushland
This zone is covered with north eastern portion of bushland area which is between
access road and fire trail. The vegetation condition of this zone is moderate. This zone has been
cleared with the treatment of coppicing stumps. Weed management is mainly focused towards
the treatment of woody weeds.
Zone: 3 Assisted regeneration – Riparian
The vegetation condition is moderate. Weed management is mainly focused towards the
treatment of weeds (Bibbings Bieluga and Mills, 2018). This pattern helps in preventing
stabilisation. It allows regeneration of the shrubs and canopy. It is also required for growing
more plants in the site.
Zone: 4 Revegetation – Storm water Corridor
This zone will impact installation of storm-water and their infrastructure. This zone
contains the portion of bushland and remove the riparian as well as applicable for the purpose of
erosion control in the vegetation management plan.
Legislation relevant to site
According to Biosecurity Act 2015, legislation provides proper rules and regulations
required for the state level priorities. This act will help with all the plant related duties in order to
decrease environmental risks (Bichard and et. al., 2018). All the persons who have knowledge
about biodiversity risks can deal with the plants easily.
