There are many reasons for the presence of weeds in the Park including:- Past land uses such as clearing and developing pasture for grazing; Soil disturbance from vehicle access; Construction of paths and other facilities or drainage channels which allow weeds to establish; Frequent fires which promote the growth of weeds; Drainage outlets that carry storm water from adjoining areas and promote the spread of weeds in wetland areas; Dumping of garden refuse in the Park which introduces many plants that vigorously compete with local vegetation; Invasive species being planted in adjoining
gardens; Increased nutrient levels; Transportation of weed seeds by birds; and Grasses planted for amenity purposes in parkland settings invading bushland areas.
