Vegetation
Council manages around 9162 hectares of natural area reserves, riparian corridors and road reserves with high biodiversity values. These areas contain remnant native vegetation and high-value regrowth vegetation and provide significant habitat for native wildlife. Remnant and high-value regrowth native vegetation can be used to assign value to ecosystems.
Plants and trees are the greatest air-conditioners; and they operate for free.
Regional Ecosystems (RE) are a way of describing different vegetation types that relate vegetation, land form and geology.
The vegetation represented in the Reserves and Riparian areas are quite diverse extending from coastal estuaries and open beach fronts across the coastal lowlands and hills to the mountain ranges in the west.

The clearing of trees and vegetation on Council or State controlled land, including roadsides, is an offence.
Planting native species helps repair and improve degraded landscapes by restoring natural plant communities and ecosystems that have been lost.
