The aim of this planting guide is
to describe a variety of
indigenous plants that are
suitable for use in local urbanlandscapes.
The guide presents three
‘precincts’ – Torquay/Jan Juc;Anglesea District; and Lorne.
Each precinct has an
accompanying map whichdefines the boundary of that
precinct. Planting lists for areas
outside the defined urban
precincts are contained in theaccompanying publication
“Indigenous Planting Guide for
Rural Areas Within the Surf
Coast Shire”. Plant lists for aselection of Council reserves
and estates are also included
(see Appendices A-C).
Additional reserve lists are
available from the Surf Coast
Shire. Plants suitable for use
near drains and sewers arelisted in Appendix D.
Each precinct is broken into tall
trees, trees, tall shrubs, mediumshrubs, low plants,
groundcovers, grasses,
sedges, lilies and grasstrees,
and climbers. Plants areassigned to categories based
on the average height of the
plant at maturity, as the mature
size of a plant can vary greatlyaccording to site specific
conditions. A description of site
requirements, height/width and
general comments is includedfor each plant.
Although a broad description of
environmental conditions for
each plant has been described,
local variations in soil type,slope, aspect, moisture, sunlight
and water availability do occur.
As some plants are suited toparticular site requirements, it is
advisable to contact your local
nursery for more information
and to get advice on choosingplants which will grow well at
your home. Always consider
block size when choosing
plants as some (such as tallgums) may be unsuitable.
Availability of stock can be
seasonal and varies between
nurseries. To ensure plants youdesire are available, plan ahead
and place an order with a
nursery which is able to supply
plants to meet your needs.Many of the plants listed are
difficult to propagate and may
not be stocked regularly.
Do not be tempted to buy the
named plants outside the area
as they may be different genetic
stock and cause problems withpollination.
It is important to note that seeds
can only be collected by permitholders and all indigenous
plants are protected, which
means that it is unlawful to
remove, lop or destroy them.
Some UsefulDefinitions
Endemic Plants only found in aparticular area.
Indigenous Plants which are
native to and evolved in a
particular area.Native Plants native to and
which have evolved in a
particular country eg Australia.
Naturalised Introduced plantsthat have spread beyond the
possibility of eradication.
Environmental Weeds Plants
which aggressively invadenatural bushland and displace
native flora and fauna. They
may be exotic or ecologically
out of balance indigenousspecies.
Exotic Species which have been
introduced from overseas.
Why Using IndigenousPlants is Beneficial
Using indigenous plants inlandscaping and revegetation is
beneficial because they:
using this plantingguide
• maintain the unique local visual
character of the area
• preserve the biodiversity of
the region for future generations• help the movement of
pollinators between remnants of
bush vegetation
• extend the beauty of the localsurroundings and reserves into
home gardens
• are adapted to low nutrient
soils and do not need fertilising•do not become environmental
weeds
•have minimal water
requirements as they areadapted to the local soil
conditions
•support local fauna by
providing food and habitat forlocal wildlife, including birds,
small mammals, reptiles and
amphibians
•are disease resistant•are more adapted to fire than
non-indigenous species

The Purpose of thisnote
This note aims to assist anyone
preparing a landscape plan to
help create a plan that willachieve the best possible
outcome and that will be of an
acceptable standard fro
approval by the Shire.
The Planning Context
The Surf Coast Shire has someof the most attractive coastline
in Australia that is complemented
by untouched heathlands,
substantial areas of nativeforests and bushland, open
rolling landscapes and
significant waterways and
wetlands. In the townships ofthe Shire, this natural landscape
merges with the built
environment to create the
special character witnessed intowns like Anglesea, Aireys Inlet
and Lorne and enjoyed by
residents and visitors alike.
The landscape interacts with the
built environment in many ways
by providing a setting, shade
and privacy and can also beused to create a view. The
landscape supports local fauna
by providing food and habitat
for birds, mammals andreptiles. The landscape also
plays an important role in other
natural process such as soil
stability and water quality. The
invasion of environmental
weeds threatens the naturallandscape and native flora and
fauna.
In recognition of the importanceof the landscape the Surf Coast
Planning Scheme provides for
the protection of native
vegetation through variouscontrols including significant
landscape, vegetation
protection and environmental
significance overlays. A numberof planning policies are
applicable to certain
developments, including the
Coastal Development Policy(Clause 22.01) and Streetscape
and Landscape Policy (Clause
22.05).
The Streetscape and Landscape
Policy provides that a
landscape plan must
accompany the following typesof application:
• Commercial and industrial
development
• Proposals involving thedevelopment of new public
roads
• Use and development of land
for more than one dwelling• Development of land in the
Environmental Rural Zone and
in Schedules 1 and 2 to the
Significant Landscape Overlay(excluding minor buildings and
works associated with an
existing building)
• Native vegetation removal
Achieving a Net Gain
It is State Policy, supported by
the Surf Coast Shire, to assist
the protection and conservation
of biodiversity, including nativevegetation retention and
provision of habitats for native
plants and animals, to achieve a
‘net gain’ in vegetation coveracross the State.
Put simply this means ensuring
that more vegetation is put backthan is removed, by minimising
removal and replacing with
indigenous vegetation where
removal is necessary. It alsorefers to the quality of the
vegetation, by way of its
diversity and structure.
On your site you should
consider how you will achieve a
landscape guideA guide to preparing a landscape plan in the Surf Coast Shire
net gain. Can buildings be sited
to retain significant vegetation?Has land been set aside to
replant vegetation? Is there a
weed problem that can be
rectified?
What is indigenousvegetation?
‘Indigenous’ vegetation is those
species that occurred naturally
within an area before European
Settlement. However indigenousplants are not just the same
species as those occurring
naturally but the same genetic
stock also. To replantindigenous you must use plants
grown from seed collected in
the local area. Local indigenous
nurseries are collecting andpropagating local seed.

Other Things toConsider
• A landscape theme and plan
should be prepared in
conjunction with the building
design process, not as anafterthought. This approach
recognises that buildings sit
within the context of the site and
surrounding area and are notisolated from external influences.
•Use existing vegetation as an
asset. A tall tree can become a
focal point for a view; shrubscan create seclusion. Retaining
what should alandscape plan
show?
1. Draw the plan to scale. A correctly scaled planwill allow a true appreciation of space and ensurethat the landscape plan correlates with anydevelopment plans. Also includea north point.
3. A landscape plan should not only showproposed plants, but also existing vegetation.Clearly indicate all vegetation to be removed orretained on site.
4. The plan should reflect themature spread of the selectedplanting at the appropriatescale. This will help you ensurethat plants have sufficient area togrow.
5. Show the building footprint,including setbacks from boundaries,and areas of hard surface includingdriveways, paths and paving.
2. Include a detailedplant schedule thatshould show:• Key/legend• Botanical name• Common name• Height and spread atmaturity• Quantity• Size at planting (egcontainer size,advanced tree tonominated height, tubestock)
6. Existing or proposed services andeasements should be identified. Certain plantsmay be unsuitable to be planted over pipelinesor under overhead cables.
vegetation will also save you
from buying plants later.
• Use plant species that areconsistent with the existing or
expected natural landscape
character of the site and
surrounding area. The CoastalDevelopment Policy includes a
vegetation character description
for the coastal townships.
• The availability of indigenousplants may be seasonal or
require seed collection to fill
orders. So plan ahead and
factor this in when planning thetiming of the project.
•Don’t plant environmental
weeds. A number of exotic
plants and even native plantsfrom outside the local area
have established in the Surf
Coast and are out-competing
the indigenous vegetation. Formore information see
“Environmental Weeds –
Invaders of our Surf Coast”,
available from the Surf CoastShire. Note that other plants
are potential weeds so it is
always best to plant
indigenous.• Give consideration to the
location and placement of
windows and doors. There is no
point planting species that willgrow up to block windows and
doors.
• Avoid planting species that will
overshadow north facingwindows during the cooler
months, but use plants that will
provide shade during the
summer months, particularlyfrom the west.
• The Shire discourages the use
of Redgum mulch and Jarrah
timber edging in landscaping.These species are being rapidly
6
depleted from their naturalenvironments and suitable
alternatives are available.
•Use a diversity of plantings –
groundcovers, shrubs andtrees.
•Vegetation extends below the
ground not just above. Think
about the root system, treeroots are concentrated in the
top 1.5m of soil and within the
drip line of the tree canopy. As
well as building works impactingon vegetation, tree roots can
effect foundations, particularly
concrete slabs.
• Where buildings, works orhard surfaces are proposed
within the canopy or root zone
of existing trees, include a report
by a suitably qualified arboristconfirming that the location and
design of any proposed
buildings, works or hard
surfaces will not compromisethe long term viability of such
trees or that the trees will not
reduce the structural integrity of
buildings. Also consider usingstumps in construction.
• Decks and soft paving
(gravel, grasscrete, etc) may be
preferable to hard paving andconcrete for recreation areas,
driveways and paths. They tend
to require less soil disturbance
and allow greater waterpermeation.
Need More Help?
It is recommended that a
qualified landscape architect or
designer with experience orknowledge of the Surf Coast
prepare or assist in the
development of the landscape
proposal. You should also seekthe advice of local nurseries on
suitable plant species. A list of
indigenous nurseries is available
from the Surf Coast Shire.

precinct 1torquay / jan juc
torquay / jan juc
Prior to European settlement,
the main residential area of
Torquay was open grassy
woodland, comprising CoastalManna Gums, Drooping
Sheoke and Black Wattle, with
Grass Trees, Common Heath,
and Kangaroo, Wallaby andSpear Grasses making up the
ground layer. The occasional
Golden Wattle and Sweet
Bursaria contributed to thesparse shrub layer.
Today, isolated communities of
Yellow Gum Woodland areunique to this precinct and are
classified as being of State
significance. Pockets of
Ironbark Woodland can befound in gullies west towards
Jan Juc. The more common
Heathy Woodland vegetation,
such as that found in the north
west of the precinct, consists ofMessmate and Brown
Stringybark with a shrub layer of
Silver Banksia, Sweet Wattle,
Common Flat-pea, CommonHeath, Honey-pots, Prickly Tea-
tree, Common Beard Heath and
Myrtle Wattle. The ground layer
comprises a diversity ofsedges, rushes, grasses and
wildflowers.
The narrow coastal stripsupports segments of remnant
native vegetation known as
“coastal headland scrub” and
“coastal dune mosaic”, which isrelatively treeless with a dense
or patchy shrub layer of
Moonah, Wirilda, Silver Banksia,
Prickly Tea-tree and Dusty Miller
. Groundcover s include nativegrasses, Honey-pots,
Cranberry Heath, Common
Correa, Common Heath and
Rough Guinea Flower.
Roadsides, creeks and coastal
reserves also support
significant remnant nativevegetation communities. These
remnants are important as they
provide habitat and food for
local fauna such as birds, smallmammals and reptiles.

precinct 2anglesea district
The Anglesea District includes
the townships of Anglesea,
Aireys Inlet, Fairhaven, Moggs
Creek and Eastern View. Thearea includes a large
proportion of Crown Land:
Anglesea Heath (ALCOA lease),
the Angahook-Lorne State parkand various nature reserves.
The major vegetation
communities in the district areCoastal Heathland, Heathy
Woodland, Lowland Forest,
Shrubby Foothill Forest and
Shrubby Dry Forest. Althoughmany species may be
common in each community,
they grow differently depending
upon the aspect, soil andclimatic conditions of the site.
Coastal Heathlands in the
Anglesea District are restrictedto areas close to the coastal
fringe. The majority of these
heathlands are treeless and
support a wide range ofheathland shrubs,
groundcovers, grasses,
sedges and rushes. The
community is dominated byPrickly and Silky Tea-tree, with
other common species being
Dwarf She-oak and Thatch
Saw-sedge.
Heathy Woodland overstorey is
dominated by Messmate and
Brown Stringybark withscattered occurrences of other
gums such as Manna Gums,
Swamp Gums, Shining
Peppermint and Narrow-leafPeppermint. The understorey is
dominated by a wide range of
heathland shrubs, including
Silver Banksia, Common Heath,
Common Beard Heath, MyrtleWattle and Guinea Flowers. A
diversity of grasses, sedges,
rushes and herbaceous species
make up the ground layer.
Lowland Forest occurs on
gentle to moderate slopes onsandy loams and silty clay
loams. The overstorey includes
Narrow-leaf Peppermint and
Messmate. The shrub layerincludes Common Heath,
Honey-pots, Common Aotus,
with a ground layer of Trailing
Goodenia and Flax-lily. Sedgesare also common with Wattle
Mat-rush and Spiny-headed
Mat-rush being found in most
areas.
Shrubby Foothill Forest occurs
on sites with clay loams over
medium to heavy clays or,closer to the coast, on shallow
clay loams over rock. The deep
soils allow higher growth of
canopy trees. As a result theoverstorey is dominated by
Messmate. Mountain Grey
Gum, Brown Stringybark,
Southern Blue Gum, SwampGum, Narrow-leaf Peppermint,
and Manna Gum are
occasional. Shrubs include Hop
Goodenia, Prickly Moses, SnowDaisy Bush, Prickly Currant-
bush, Narrow-leaf Wattle, Prickly
Tea-tree and Large-leaf Bush-
pea. The ground stratum oftenlacks diversity and is dominated
by Austral Bracken and Forest
Wire-grass.
Shrubby Dry Forest ischaracterised by an overstorey
of Red Ironbark, Messmate and
Southern Blue Gum, with a
shrub layer of Large-leaf Bush-pea, Common Heath and
Prickly Moses. The ground
stratum includes a number of
grasses such as Tussock Grassand Wallaby-grass. Sedges are
strongly represented by Wattle
Mat-rush and Spiny-headed
Mat-rush. Other commonspecies are Trailing Goodenia
and Honey-pots.

precinct 3lorne
lorne
The township of Lorne is
surrounded by Shrubby Foothill
Forest, Grassy Dry Forest and
Shrubby Wet Forest. The deepsoils allow higher growth of
canopy trees than that seen in
the other precincts. As a result
the overstorey is dominated bytall Messmate, with Mountain
Grey Gum also common.
Scentbark, Brown Stringybark,
Blue Gum, Swamp Gum,Narrow-leaf Peppermint,
Mountain Ash, and Manna Gum
are occasional. Shrubs include
Hop Goodenia, Prickly Moses,Snow Daisy Bush, Prickly
Currant-bush, Narrow-leaf
Wattle, Prickly Tea-tree, Hazel
Pomaderris and Large-leafBush-pea. The ground stratum
often lacks diversity and is
dominated by Austral Bracken
and Forest Wire-grass.
Grassy Dry Forest occurs in an
area west of Lorne where soils
are shallow and rocky and have
a higher iron content than soilsof the Shrubby Foothill Forest.
Grassy Dry Forest is confined
to northern and western aspects
on gentle to moderately steepslopes and ridges.
The overstorey is a low forest
dominated by Scentbark, BlueGum and Mountain Grey Gum.
The shrub layer is low in
diversity and sparse, except in
areas affected by the 1983wildfires, which are dominated
by dense stands of Hop Wattle
and Hop Goodenia.
Shrubby Wet Forest occupies
western and northern aspects
and ridgelines. This vegetation
community has rough and soft
tree ferns and a good diversity
of herbs due to increased light
reaching the forest floor. The
overstorey is a tall forestdominated by Messmate,
Mountain Grey Gum and Manna
Gum. Blackwood and Hazel
Pomaderris form a lower treelayer. The tall shrub layer is
dominated by Prickly Currant-
bush, Musk Daisy-bush, Snow
Daisy-bush, Tree Everlastingand Austral Mulberry. Prickly
Moses and Hop Goodenia form
a mid shrub layer. Varnish
Wattle, Balm Mint-bush andDusty Miller also commonly
occur. The ground layer
includes Ivy-leaf Violet, Mountain
Clematis and Tall Sword-sedge.
