Vegetation Management Plan for the Council land on Munibung Hill is prepared by end 2022.

Biodiversity Strategy B1
Prepare a Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) for Council land on Munibung Hill. Include coordination across land tenure boundaries, considering an existing vegetation management plan on land owned by Munibung Hill Pty Limited. The Vegetation Management Plan will provide details of priority actions and guidance on the approach to protect and restore ecological communities and ecological condition. This includes:
B2
•
minimising the extent of additional disturbance or vegetation clearance required to upgrade designated walking tracks and the two trail head locations.
•
targeted planting to restore vegetation in association with track surface stabilisation and erosion controls (see also Erosion and Land Stability Strategy).
•
informing bushfire management to protect sensitive ecological communities (see Bushfire Management Strategy).
Close access to existing tracks on Council land, other than those designated in this strategy (see also Vehicle Access strategy below). This will involve gates or barriers to prevent trail bike and other off road vehicle access.
To provide an opportunity for tracks to be rehabilitated and reduce the spread of weed species.

•
measures to manage safety risks associated with access to cliff lines, such as planting dense and prickly vegetation to discourage access
•
measures to manage access to rock shelter sites which have Aboriginal cultural significance. dense planting can help to discourage access.

Key tracks which allow vehicle access onto Council land have barriers installed to control illegal access and protect the biodiversity and cultural values of the place.
Vegetation Management Plan for Munibung Hill. Aboriginal engagement and participation framework.
A communications program may be necessary to explain vehicle exclusion actions, as both 4WD vehicles and trail bikes access some tracks. engaging local residents will be important.
