Consultation has concluded
Located adjacent to Alexander and Suttor Streets West Bathurst, Brooke Moore Woodland Reserve is a 5.8-hectare area of Crown Land managed by Bathurst Regional Council. The area includes the northern section of ‘Brooke Moore Oval’ referred to as Brooke Moore Reserve, Alexander Street Reserve, and a small section of Hector Park north of the Bathurst Indoor Sports Stadium referred to as Hector Park Box-Gum Grassy Woodland.
The area is of high conservation value containing one of only a few remaining examples of the Critically Endangered Ecological Community (CEEC) Box-Gum Grassy Woodland in the Bathurst urban area.
In recent years, extensive environmental rehabilitation works undertaken at the site by Council and community volunteers, including revegetation, the installation of nest boxes, weed control, and the installation of fencing to control unrestricted vehicle access, has contributed significantly to improving the ecological health and condition of this woodland reserve.
The Plan of Management has been developed to facilitate the ongoing management of this highly significant woodland reserve and revered community asset. It is also a strategy of the Bathurst Region Vegetation Management Plan that was adopted by Council in 2019.
Feedback will close on Friday 27 August 2021 at 4:00pm.
