Pittwater’s noxious weeds are to take a cutting with more than $155,000 in state funding to help care for some of our most-loved parks, headlands and coastal reserves.

Independent MP for Pittwater, Jacqui Scruby, said the funding acknowledges the community's deep appreciation for the area's natural beauty.

“Addressing noxious weeds was an issue I ran on at the election - it’s wonderful to have this funding. Noxious weeds on our headlands, reserves and parklands threaten the biodiversity of our area. 

“From the dunes at Mona Vale to the cliffs of Bangalley and the quiet bush trails in Dundundra Falls, these spaces are part of our way of life. This funding will help keep them healthy and thriving,” said Ms Scruby.

“This money goes straight to weed control. It’s not glamorous, but it’s essential. It protects native species, keeps tracks safe and walkable, and helps our bushland bounce back.”

A total of $155,804 will support weed management at ten sites across Pittwater, including Camp Kedron, Avalon, Lake Park, Hitchcock Park Foreshores, Beeby Park, Upper Karuah River and North Narrabeen.

“I’ve fought hard to make sure Pittwater gets its fair share and I’ll keep doing it. These places matter to our community and they deserve to be looked after,” Ms Scruby said.

“Cleaner, healthier reserves mean better experiences for everyone, whether you're birdwatching, walking the dog or teaching your kids about the local environment.”

Funding is provided through the Crown Reserves Improvement Fund, administered by Crown Lands in the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure.
