WALGA hosted several events focusing on roadside vegetation managenment issues. Events were held in Pingelly in September 2022, and in Margaret River, Northam and in Dardanup between April and August 2019.
These events examined ways to improve the management of roadsides to meet community expectations, regulatory requirements and manage road safety and environmnetal outcomes. Local Government case studies specific to each region demonstrated how the conservation of vegetation can be addressed during road planning and maintenance works.
