Removal of Root Suckers and Seedlings

As part of the Collingwood Beach Dune Vegetation Two-Year Trial Action Plan, Banksia species were initially trimmed in September 2018 to provide filtered views of the Bay in an attempt to deter vandalism.

Additional Trimming occurred on 12 December 2019 which consisted of selective height reduction and pruning of sides that impede the view windows. Pruning of shrubs did not exceed 25 per cent of the crown mass. To view all of the pruning images visit the Before and After Pruning Photos Library on this web page.

Pruning also occurred on 18 August 2020. Photos will be published soon.
