Geoff Duggan of Geogenic Landscapes is highly skilled in landscape design, project management, construction and horticulture with almost 30 years’ experience. He has specialised in botanic garden and open space master planning, thematic design, living collection development, on-ground horticultural implementation, ecological restoration, civil, building development projects and facilities management within the within the Royal Botanic Gardens & Centennial Parklands Trusts. For the last fifteen years until 2015, he led the landscape and horticultural development of The Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan, set within the critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland. Similarly, his skills set was put to use planning botanic gardens in sensitive ecological communities within the National Parks network within Vietnam and Laos.

‘Hands on’ horticultural / landscape skills and ability have been the foundation of his career, which is combined with academic achievement in landscape architecture and strategic planning skills.

Recently, he formed his own Landscape / Horticulture design, construction and consultancy team with his wife Genevieve, who also holds formal qualifications in horticulture and bush regeneration with extensive experience working within the Cumberland Plain Woodland vegetation community of the Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan in South West Sydney. Sydney Zoo planting strategy - OUTLINE In general the plant selection has been identified as planting dominated by fast growing pioneer plants to help condition the soil and give quick impact. Native area 3.6Ha will be the most densely planted. It will be diverse in make up, combining plants with fast growth rates, ornamental qualities, insect and bird attracting, variety of open hot dry aspect to cool shaded and moist microclimates and offer opportunities for plant interpretation including Aboriginal interpretation. Native area 1.8Ha will be more sparsely planted than area 3.6Ha. Low growing, robust grass and shrub species with a mixture of some of the more ornamental species have been identified.Additionally, Eucalyptus molucanna will dominate the car park islands because of its capacity to deep root causing less damage to parking area and plant root systems. Native hydro seed 31.286Ha needs further discussion on desired tree canopy density. Three companies have been identified as having experience in this field with Cumberland Plain Woodland revegetation projects. They are Cumberland Plain Seeds http://www.cpseeds.com.au/, Greening Australia https://www.greeningaustralia.org.au/ and Toolijooa Environmental Restoration http://www.toolijooa.com.au/

Acacia species used across all areas as nurse plants can be selectively culled if required after a few years when 3-4m in diameter as some of the Eucalyptus species come through. This foliage can be used as suggested for feed. A succession plan will be a combination of what comes through via seedbank in soil plus supplementary planting to increase some diversity in the herb and grass layers. I suggest ripping a small section of soil in a few locations asap to see what may come up via the existing soil seed bank this year. - Native area 3600m2 at 4.75 plants per square metre. Includes tree canopy of 3 trees per 100m2 plus 4 Acacia species per 100m2 to be used as nurse plants to be removed within 5 years. - Native area 1800m2 at 3.47 plants per square metre. Includes tree canopy of 3 trees per 100m2 plus 4 Acacia species per 100m2 to be used as nurse plants to be removed within 5 years. -Native Hydro seed area 31,286m2. 0.07 plants per square metre. (This area needs further discussion) Includes tree canopy of 3 trees per 100m2 plus 4 Acacia species per 100m2 to be used as nurse plants to be removed within 5 years.

Additional plants have also been added for their qualities as described above and also present on the site.

Site soils The existing soil is a very important resource. A slashing program should be implemented asap where all construction will take place. This should be done frequently enough to ensure the biomass is kept to a minimum and to ensure weed seed does not increase. Vegetation mixed in with topsoil recovery stockpiles can lead to anaerobic breakdown, exposing the soil to toxicity problems. From our first look during the site visit, there is about 75mm average of goodA horizon soil. It would be highly advantageous to set this soil aside, vegetation free in stockpiles as low as possible. This will be an important resource for your gardens as well as being a potentially good source of endemic plant seed. Tree protection zones TPZ should be established and fenced off during all construction works around areas identified to maintain vegetation cover. This fence line will extend 1M beyond the tree drip line. It is recommended that a Horticultural Consultant, restoration Ecologist or Bush Regenerator with a minimum of TAFE Certificate III in Land Management and significant experience (minimum of five years) in managing restoration projects be onsite to direct machinery operators. Areas identified for reintroduction of Cumberland Plain species where the soil has been damaged and compacted through construction works should be deep ripped 300 - 500mm along the contours if possible. Gypsum at recommended rates 2.5t/Ha should be applied and incorporated into the top 10mm of the deep ripped soil. At least 100mm layer of the A horizon stockpiled soil should be spread out on top, taking care not to compact the deep ripped soils. This can then be followed by a 10mm layer of compost followed by mulching. Low phosphorus compost suitable for Natives come in a range of products including Greenlife from ANL Australian Native Landscapes, Vitagrow from Menai Sand and Soil, Low Phosphorus compost from M Collins. To each planting hole a low phosphorus fertilizer can be added to the recommended rates governed by pot size Eg Nutricote Pink. Car park areas adjacent to islands could incorporate structural soils under the parking area. This would be a mixture of 75 - 25mm ballast plus 25% coarse sand. This improves overall plant vigour for the Eucalypt shade trees in this area.

Mulching Use eucalypt or leaf mulch, be wary of seed source from mulched exotic plants. Mulched native fig trees are good to use as well. Ensure the mulch is well aged to avoid nitrogen draw down. Place mulch to a depth of 50 - 75mm, do not mulch against the trunks of plants. Trial leaving small patches of bare soil or windrows around 25cm wide to allow for endemic seed to germinate and grow, this will encourage a grass and herbaceous layer. This should be monitored closely for weed seed germination.

Pre-Planting grow out strategy Trees can be ordered and grown under contract now, by companies such as Greening Australia. Focus on tree species and larger shrubs first and their availability. The decision will come down to a cost benefit analysis. A more established looking garden with larger plants will cost more due to nursing these plants for an extended period. It should not affect the planting densities as the plant sizes I have indicated are about 75% of actual size fully grown. Most of the grass species and smaller shrubs etc can be ordered a little later and delivered in tube stock. Additionally seed collection and availability may affect production, however 18 months is a good lead time for this size project.You will need to try and firm in a planting date as accurately as possible to avoid further holding costs and also avoiding plants becoming root bound in their pots. There is also the potential of transplanting some plants and growing these on. These will be identified by the growing contractor but could include difficult to propagate plants. Existing and re vegetated Cumberland Plain Woodland (CPW) vegetation management A comprehensive, detailed, site specific and ongoing Cumberland Plain Woodland Management Plan will be an initial requirement from Zoo Horticultural staff following appointment. It will be guided by the recommendations and guidelines within the former Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW). (2005). Recovering Bushland on the Cumberland Plain: Best practice guidelines for the management and restoration of bushland. Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW), Sydney. Ruth Burton.

Three key approaches to managing the identified CPW remnants will be to retain all existing native vegetation identified, protect any existing vegetation and manage in perpetuity the identified CPW remnants. These works will be funded as part of the ongoing maintenance program of the Zoo. An assessment of the existing CPW stands, indicate its current condition as degraded with a mostly exotic under storey, and very little mid storey. This remnant CPW vegetation identified to be retained (REHAB AREAS PLAN) will be managed as part of the overall vegetation management plan for the Zoo. Management will initially protect the identified CPW stands from further degradation.This will include appropriate fencing barricades during construction and buffer zones around the areas to further reduce damage or contamination of these areas immediately. This will exclude machinery and equipment access and limit foot traffic. Additionally, run- off protection during construction will including contour grading where possible and silt barrier fencing to minimise soil and waterborne potential disease contamination. All machinery entering the site during construction will need to undergo a visual inspection by Zoo staff for cleanliness to limit potential for soil borne disease transfer from off site. Once construction of the car park is completed, management of the CPW will include weed control, animal control and the regeneration of the natural vegetation. Weed control will include identifying and removing weed species already growing, weed sources, removing future weed problems as they arise. Animal control will need further assessment on the potential impact of pest and diseases. This will include specific natural and feral animal control measures where required, examples such as rabbit control, monitoring Grey Box psyllid outbreaks etc. Regeneration works supported by targeted planting of locally provenanced species to ensure genetic integrity will be done through contract or within the recruited Zoo Horticultural staff.These staff should have as a minimum TAFE Cert III in Bush Regeneration or Land Management and significant experience in working in Cumberland Plain oodlandW vegetation communities. Similarly the revegetation and reestablishment of CPW works should be carried out as part of the Hydro or direct seeded contracts and other areas directly planted by suitable contractors or staff as stated above.

As indicated on the supplied plan (NATIVE PLANTING TYPES) this planting type will be close to paths and be part of the zoo experience. It will be diverse in make up, combining plants with fast growth rates, ornamental qualities, variety of open hot dry aspect to cool shaded and moist micro climates and offer opportunities for plant interpretation including Aboriginal interpretation. Canopy planting of Eucalyptus molucanna , E. tereticornis, Melaleuca stypheliodes at a ratio of 3:2:1 for this area based on 3 trees per 10x 10 m grid.

E. molucanna has been selected for areas adjacent to carpark because of its deep rooting structure, Melaleuca used in places where there is more moisture. Acacia parramattensis and A. decurrens at a ratio of 1:1 will provide quick growth rates, condition soil by fixing nitrogen and provide protection to other plants. These Acacias to be removed within 5 years.

Based on a 5m x 5m grid as shown, (used for stail estimating only), 117 low shrubs and grasses are identified to provide an overall planting density of 4.68 plants per m2 for the 3600m2 area.

With the additional Eucalypt species of 3 per 10m2 plus 4 Acacia species per 10m2 will give a planting density of 118.75 plants per 5m x 5m grid. Therefore the overall planting density will be 4.75 plants per m2 for the 3600m2 area.

Shrub and grasses plant schedule 3600m2 / 25m2 = 144 x the above schedule Eucalypts and Acacias plant schedule 3600m2 / 100m2 = 36 x tree rates as above Planting area Native 1800m2

As indicated on the supplied plan (NATIVE PLANTING TYPES) most of this planting type is located with the car parking area, It will require sight lines to be maintained and also subjected to foot traffic. Low growing, robust grass and shrub species with a mixture of some of the more ornamental species have been identified. Additionally, Eucalyptus molucanna and E. tereticornis for shade and planting structure at a ratio of 2:1 for this area is based on a 10x 10 m grid. E. molucanna has been selected for the carpark islands because of its deep rooting structure. Acacia parramattensis and A. decurrens at a ratio of 1:1 will provide quick growth rates, condition soil by fixing nitrogen and provide protection to other plants. These Acacias to be removed within 5 years.

Based on a 5m x 5m grid as shown, 85 low shrubs and grasses are identified to provide an overall planting density of 3.4 plants per m2 for the 1800m2 area.

With the additional Eucalypt species of 3 per 10m2 plus 4 Acacia species per 10m2 will give a planting density of 86.75 plants per 5m x 5m grid. Therefore the overall planting density will be 3.47 plants per m2 for the 1800m2 area.

Shrub and grasses plant schedule 1800m2 / 25m2 = 72 x the above schedule Eucalypts and Acacias plant schedule 1800m2 / 100m2 = 18 x tree rates as above Shrub and grass plant schedule 3600m2 Shrub and grass plant schedule 1800m2 Supplementary tree planting in this area will require further discussion. 288 Acacia floribunda 216 Aristata ramosa 144 Acacia parramattensis 72 Bursaria spinosa Tree plant schedule 31,286m2 1152 Aristida ramosa 72 Davesia ulicifolia Ratio x 939 total 144 Atriplex semibaccata 1656 Dianella longifolia 10% 94 Angophora subvelutina 1152 Bulbine bulbosa 72 Dillwynia sieberi 10% 94 Corymbia maculata 144 Bursaria spinosa 360 Hardenbergia violacea 5% 47 Eucalyptus amplifolia 864 Centella asiatica 216 Indigophora australis 5% 47 Eucalyptus baueriana 1008 Cheilanthes distans 504 Lomandra longifolia 30% 281 Eucalyptus moluccana 432 Chloris truncata 576 Lomandra multiflora ssp.multiflora 30% 281 Eucalyptus tereticornis 432 Chrysocephalum apiculatum 288 Pultenaea microphylla 10% 94 Melaleuca styphelioides 144 Clematis glycinoides 360 Ranunculus lappaceus Acacia plant schedule 31,286m2 144 Commelina cyanea 1728 Themeda triandra Ratio x 1251 total 144 Davesia viscosa ssp. hederacea 50% 625 Acacia decurrens 144 Desmodium varians Tree plant schedule 1800m2 50% 625 Acacia parramattensis 864 Dianella longifolia 36 Acacia decurrens 144 Einadia nutans Native hydroseed area Native 31,286m2 36 Acacia parramattensis 144 Gahnia sieberana 36 Eucalyptus moluccana This area has been identified as being hydro seeded.
