Littoral Rainforest Weed Management Project, Forrest Beach

Published on 01 August 2025

Hinchinbrook Shire Council advises that a weed management project is set to begin at the littoral rainforest near Forrest Beach, the largest known of its kind in the Shire.

In partnership with the Nywaigi People, Council will carry out targeted weed control and fire risk reduction at the recreational reserve located at the northern end of Allamanda Avenue.

Key project stages:

  • August 2025 – Survey and weed mapping
  • August and September 2025 – Initial weed treatment
  • April 2026 – Follow-up treatment

The project targets invasive species such as Singapore Daisy, Guinea Grass, and Lantana, while preserving the site’s ecological and cultural significance.

This project has been proudly funded by Terrain NRM (Natural Resource Management) in association with Council.
