Penrith City Council: Roadside vegetation
The Roadside Vegetation Management Project was established to create a framework for Penrith Council to better manage its roadside vegetation and to assess and identify areas within the local government area that had been identified as having significant value in council's Roadside Vegetation Management Plan.
