What we’re doing
The main threats here are weeds escaping from residential areas or brought in by visitors, feral animals (including foxes that prey on turtle nests) and erosion of sandy soils.
As this reserve is near a residential area, fire management is a priority for ecological and safety reasons.
Thankfully, the neighbouring Sunrise@1770 development was done to strict environmental standards, including using local native plants in their allotments.
Revegetation work has been carried out on the foreshore to stabilise the dunes. Further reveg work is happening in cleared areas using endemic tree stock. We’re also carefully managing areas of rare vine thicket rainforest and planting on the rainforest fringe to encourage it to extend.
