Overall goal and description:
Project location (attach map):
Gully Reserve, 4 Bush Street, Tauranga.
Land ownership
To eradicate and control pest weeds in the Gully Reserve. We want to remove these pest weeds to allow our local
children to play in the reserve. This will also benefit the health of the children with the removal of the privet.
(we will only fund projects with landowner approval)
We have identified the following pest weeds – privet, blackberry, honeysuckle, moth plant, blue morning glory.

Community awareness:
Resource consents
We are going to hold a weed identification day so neighbours can learn about weeds and how to remove them on their
properties.
If you are unsure whether your project requires a
consent please contact one of Bay of Plenty Regional
Council’s Consents Officers on 0800 884 880 or your
district or city council.
We want to make an interpretation panel explaining significance of rata and the site and invite the local community to
the unveiling of the sign.
Groups visiting the adjoining Marae will be given an explanation of rata and its significance to the Marae. It is also
celebrated through waiata.
Benefit indicator: Interpretation panel will be in place and local community will have increased knowledge of pest plants.
Community participation:
The local Kura is going to grow trees, including plants important for rongoa, for replanting at the reserve. Members of
our local church will hold a series of working bees to help remove weeds and mulch.
The local service organisation will run a series of public planting days to replant areas where we have removed weeds.
Benefit indicator: Volunteer hours of approximately 500 hours will have been undertaken.
