Appendix I – Plant species for replanting

Appendix I 1

Plant species list for dune planting

For the patrolled beach management zones, Council will consider sight line requirements when selecting suitable species for planting. Note that several patrolled beaches do not have a hind dune, and in some patrolled beach management areas, tall-growing variants of subspecies of Acacia longifolia have created sight line problems for lifeguard/lifesavers and can exist as a monoculture.

Incipient dune

Poa billardierei Coastal Fescue

Ficinia nodosa Clubrush

Spinifex sericeus Spinifex

Calystegia soldanella -

Carpobrotus glaucescens Pigface

Actites megalocarpa Coastal Sowthistle

Cynodon dactylon Couch

Canavalia rosea Beach Bean

Scaevola calendulacea Scented Fanflower

Carex pumila Strand Sedge

Dianella congesta Coastal Flax Lily

Sporobolus virginicus Sand Couch

Tetragonia tetragonioides Warrigal Greens

Senecio spathulatus -

Melanthera biflora -

*Cakile eduntula and *Cakile maritima are cosmopolitan species which readily self-recruit on the incipient dune. Removal of these species may be counter-productive.

*Gazania rigens and *Hydrocotyle bonariensis are garden escapes which are probably too well distributed to consider eradication. The management of these species should mainly relate to areas where their growth and reproduction is inhibiting indigenous species.

Monotoca scoparia -

Monotoca elliptica Tree Broom-heath

Breynia oblongifolia Coffee Bush

Dichondra repens Kidney Weed

Lomandra longifolia Mat Rush

Hibbertia scandens Golden Guinea Flower

Commelina cyanea Scurvy Weed

Imperata cylindrica var. major Blady Grass

^A specific management option refers to this species and should be followed where relevant.

*Coprosma repens has self-recruited in most dune vegetation patches in the study area. Native to New Zealand, but probably a low priority species for removal.

*Cupaniopsis anacardioides is beginning to self-recruit in hind-dune vegetation, especially Puckey’s Estate. This species is being planted as an ornamental in new developments, e.g. MacCauleys, Campus East, Thirroul Beach playground and elsewhere.
