–        Conserve and protect open grass areas to a reasonable condition. This may include re-activation of irrigation, routine horticultural practices (such as coring/ de-thatching/fertilising/ weeding), rabbit control, and effective reinstatement after disturbance (including where trees are removed, by utility authorities, etc). Recommendations by Arborists for mulching beneath trees should be considered in the context of protecting and conserving the extent of grassed areas.
–        It is desirable to limit the further conversion of grassed (lawn) areas to native grasses.
>        Residence garden (south and north) to be established.
–        Re-establish and maintain a domestic garden character of open lawn with trees, densely planted garden beds including species likely to have been used in the original garden construction.
–        Consider the use of alternative ground surfaces such as granite gravel, synthetic lawn, etc. to recreate the effect of open lawn areas, in lieu of extensive, unplanted mulched beds.
–        If feasible, progressively remove or replace elements which detract from the domestic garden character, such as carpark pavements, 'carport' style shelter, wheel stops, bollards, shade sail, proprietary street furniture, duplicated pathways, etc.
–        Minimise visual interruption by utilities (gas enclosure, stormwater drains, etc).
