Woolgoolga Littoral Rainforest and Themeda Grassland Restoration 2008-11
The Endangered Ecological Communities (EEC) on Woolgoolga Headland comprises a Themeda Grassland community and Woolgoolga Back Beach North contains a SEPP 26 Littoral Rainforest. The communities are located within Coffs Coast Regional Park managed by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) and Coffs Harbour City Council. A Vegetation Restoration Plan has been developed to guide strategic restoration works and monitoring and evaluation. Weed species, bitou bush, senna, vine weeds and exotic grasses are limiting the regeneration and growth of native species. Systematic bush regeneration works are being undertaken over three years.
