Continued maintenance, upkeep and improvement of green open spaces promotes the use of green spaces and thus improves community well-being.
Development and a growing urban population put pressure on urban green spaces and our city resources. The Envirofund aims to continue maintenance of green open spaces on a level that is desirable and ensures the community continuous use of safe and clean spaces to enjoy. In addition, the Envirofund continually works towards improving the resilience and sustainability of the green spaces by addressing critical issues such as erosion, water quality, biodiversity and ecosystem services through an aesthetic, unobtrusive and environmentally-friendly approach.
Our planned projects include:
Short Term:
Removal of priority alien invasive plants
Improvement of secondary parks
Development of new park areas
Medium Term:
Alien invasive plant control
Continuous improvement of green infrastructure
Erosion control along streams
Improvement of river front for recreational and wildlife use
Long Term:
Lonehill and Lappies Park wetland rehabilitation
Re-establish Lappies Park dam
Road verge improvements (erosion control, paving, beautification)
Solar lights in parks
Continued maintenance, upkeep and improvement of green open spaces promotes the use of green spaces and thus improves community well-being.
Well-maintained green spaces improve safety within the community.
Well-maintained green spaces contribute positively to property investments and value.
We depend on ecosystem services for our very survival – looking after and improving the health of our environment is to be looking after ourselves and those who come after us.
