The creation of a new Significant Roadside Vegetation Management plan is crucial to mitigate the impacts that can result from an expanding roadside and residential network required to support a growing city.

Development pressures have the potential to increase litter, pollution, noise, fallen timber removal, the spread of pest plants and animals, and bushfire risk. To mitigate these risks, the Significant Roadside Vegetation Management Plan aims to identify roadside reserve conservation values and provide best practice management guidelines for these areas.
