This project will develop a landscape design that will increase the native biodiversity of the Pearce Street entrance to Willow Park.
Friends of Willow Park have been working with the City of Wodonga to develop a Master Plan for Willow Park. As part of that proecess the community overwhelmingly stated that they liked Willow Park essentially as it is with its bush-like areas. The community also made it clear that they would like to see these areas enhanced. With that in mind, we successfully made application to the Victorian State Government through the North East Catchment Management Authority for a Second Generation Landcare Grant for funds to produce a landscape design for the Pearce Street entrance to Willow Park that will increase native biodiversity.
A Steering Committee was formed to oversee this project and is comprised of members of Friends of Willow Park and representatives from City of Wodonga and Wodonga TAFE.
We expect to have a draft concept landscape design by the end of April and will make that available to our community for comment sometime in March 2010.
