INTRODUCTION
A vegetation management plan is based on the map report that assists for land owner to
manage and control the site and also ensure that biodiversity has been protected and controlled.
Planning is the best approach in the management system to identify the bio security at kellyville
lands. The site is encompassing 9 Ross place in the kellyville in the north site. These lands are
under the local government agency that can be divided into the different communities in proper
manner. The plan must be prepared by the qualified re-generator for reducing conservations land
management. The purpose of plans to establish native species and also cover the density of
riparian corridor by the natural regeneration of vegetation management areas. The vegetation
community will manage the vegetation plans and also control the performance criteria in the
term of survey in the environmental weed population. This assignment will cover the description
of vegetation community, significant features, site and vegetation maps etc. At last, this
assignment will describe and develop the natural area restoration project.
SECTION-1a

SECTION-1b
Natural area restoration project can be implemented by using strategies and planning to
protect the environmental and also determine the ecological issues in vegetation management
plan 9 Ross place kellyville sites. This site includes the conservation of species, plant
communities and their significance (Ajayi and Hall, 2018). This plan is identified that relevant
legislation that help for stakeholders and communities to solve the complex problem or issue.
There are different types of ecological issues, environmental degradation, current land usage and
need of stakeholder issues etc.
Conservation strategies-
The conservation strategies are important for protecting the native plants, animals that including
the administration of licensing system for exporting, selling, distributing and also killing the
animals and plants (Rêgo and et.al., 2018). The conservation community has been developed
plans that protects to the animals and species. The local agency also managing the conservation
or reserving the threatened species. There are following strategies that support for conserving the
environmental condition of flora and fauna.
 Nature conservation strategy approach.
 It is also enhanced the habitat connectivity and the functionality of ecosystem.
 Managing the threats to biodiversity.
 Preserve and protect the species or ecological communities.
 Enhance the urban areas and value of biodiversity.
Client objectives-
Environmental degradation issues and strategy-
Environmental degradation is usually the deterioration of environment by depletion of
natural resources such as water, soil, air, wildlife and destruction of ecosystem. There are
different type of environmental degradation issues.
Erosion and sediment control- this issue associated within the land and water. In the site.
The soil has been accumulating the salt for many years, there are large amounts of water draining
in the ground water. In this way, it will increase the salt that stored in the soil. It is affecting the
agriculture cope, wild animals, crops, weed species, river and also supply the water.
Weed species- The native weed species have contributed towards the land degradation
because this species will harm and damage the plants. this is the most common problem arises in
4

the kellyville Sydney (Halofsky and et.al., 2018). This native weed species attack on the water
space, nutrient and breeding of site.
Feral animals- The feral animal affects the soil erosion and degradation in 9 Ross place
kellyville sites. These animals are typically few natural predictors and diseases of fatal that have
high reproductive rate. In this way, it can impact on the soil system of lands.
Strategy-
 It is needed for spread the social awareness about the pollution danger all around the
nation. Each and every individual also contribute to check the problem and issues.
 Control the population.
 Control and manage the agriculture and industrial pollution.
 River and water should be clean and maintain by the local government.
Ecological issues and strategy-
The ecological issues are the interdependences of living organism in the environment that
affects the bio-physical activities. There are different types of issues related to the ecological.
Loss of biodiversity- This is the main issue in the site whereas it is directly impact on the
animals and plants. It is also spread the large number of diseases that carrying animals in the
local population (Delanote, Dewaele and Jamart, 2018).
Soil erosion- It is very slow process that continuously cause the serious loss of soil. This
process is also affecting the natural resources such as water. At the time of rain fall, It is
increased the greater intensity and duration of rainstorm. It causes the higher erosion in the soil.
Greenhouse effect- In Site, the green house exported the large amount of carbon dioxide
and nitrous oxide that affect the entire climate change. In this way, the average temperature of
surface is rising.

Strategy-
 Implementation of recycling habit into the daily life and it also helps for conserve the
natural resources, save pollution and cut down the energy consumption.
 Managing and controlling the land in the urban areas.
Action Plan-
It can be implementing the strategy and planning for removing all the threats because they
impact on the environments.
Revegetation Project
Areas and timing-
Areas : 9 Ross place, kellyville in Sydney, Australia.
Timing : Autumn season is the best time of regeneration and replanting.
Methods-
 Use of Seedling- Seedling is basically the young plant of sporophyte that developing out
the plant embryo from the seed.
 Direct seedling- this process is referred the farming system that fertilize and tree directly
undisturbed in the soil. The narrow strip of the soil is distributed with the help of
equipment that fertilize the crop in proper manner. Natural regeneration- It is an important component that involves for the establishment of
new forest from the self development. This term describes the growth of plants form seed
and also distributed to the site. It is an effective technique for the use of scattering the
natural trees or shrubs.
Access to Revegetation site- Revegetation phase is the immediately process in the term of
construction.
Weed management-
Weed management process is particular work in the regeneration zone to enhancing the
exotic grasses and woody weeds etc.
Control methods- The basic aim of weed control to prevent the weed from the
established in a greenhouse, a crop and pasture etc. It also used the chemical applications to
weeds and soil to manage the growth of weed species.
6

Limiting Factors-
 Poor and less efficiency of mechanical control
 Similarity of morphological
 Adverse weather labour scarcity
Expectation of densities of weed species - According to graph, it can be identified that the weed
densities has changed.
Weed disposal strategy-
This strategy is providing the national framework that prevent the new weed issue and
problem. This strategy will help for recognize the sustainable management in the natural
resources. There are different types of strategy applicable in the prevention of weed disposal.
 Maintain, update and review the import and release the protocol to increase the protection
against the weed threat (Ramôa and et.al., 2018).
 Develop and implement the nationally agreed weed response for the purpose of
containment and eradication.
7

Management of environmental issue-
It can be identified the soil degradation issue that impact on the entire agriculture and
industrial in the urban area or place. It is required for use the technique to improve the cause in
the environment.
Develop aspects of site resilience-
Native Species regeneration- It is a process that help for increasing re-plantation in the
forest. It is an essential for used the dynamic seedling technique to grow the plants and also
monitored the process of seed in the rainy season. The natural regeneration is enhanced the
restoration action in the site.
Track work- Track work is basically tools that provide the proper solution by linking
with the commodity flow through the supply chain management.
Erosion and sediment control- it is the most significant problem in the environment
because there are many problems arises during the regeneration such as soil erosion, water
pollution etc (Gebreegziabher, Verma, and Tegene, 2018). It is required in the site to minimized
the implementation erosion and sediment control by using modern technology.
Staging of project- Re-vegetation works- This is the initial stage of project development to identify the risk
and threat. It is also recognized to manage the treatment of plan at the time of re-
vegetation. Primary weed control- It is the important control in the term of plantation and
regeneration. This process will cover the ground and remove the unwanted plants. It also
tests the soil condition to keep cool and moist. Secondary weed control- This process will help for used the modern technique to control
the weed by using tillage and mowing. Project maintenance- This process will help for maintain the strategies and planning to
that implemented in the project development. The local agency is used the technology to
protect through soil erosion and water degradation.
 Environmental restoration actions- It is a last stage for management of project to
perform different task to promote the recovery system in the ecological manner.
Environmental restoration helps for control the loss of biodiversity.
8

Budget development-
Develop and cost recommended action-
In this project, it is required for improve the environmental and ecological issues that
create dynamic budget for managing the business operations and functions.
Strategies
 Implementation of recycling habit into the daily life and it also helps for conserve the
natural resources, save pollution and cut down the energy consumption (Bach, Kulland
Rangan, 2019).
 River and water should be clean and maintain by the local government.
Cost
 For implementing the strategy, it is required for estimation cost is $180,999 exclusive of
GST and CPI.
 It is required for cleaning the water and maintenance that require $48, 325
approximately.

CONCLUSION
As per discussion, it concluded that the vegetation community always manage plan and
also control the performance criteria in the term of survey in the environmental weed population.
It summarized the description of vegetation community, significant features, site and vegetation
maps etc. it also discusses about the development of natural area restoration project.
