JOSEPH BANKS NATIVE PLANT RESERVE – PICNIC AREA AND POND UPGRADE

Set amongst natural bushland with tall, captivating tree canopies, the Joseph Banks Native Plants Reserve is a hidden gem to behold and treasure. The suspended timber deck with ample tables and seating provides a unique setting for all to enjoy. Adjacent to the extensive deck is a state of the art all-access BBQ, shelter and seating areas.

The rejuvenation of the picnic and pond areas was an initiative undertaken by Sutherland Shire Council which aimed to improve BBQ, seating, tables and shelter facilities, together with creating a pathway system with new all-ability access routes to reach these areas. This aim was achieved with the highest quality workmanship and will be enjoyed for years to come.

The works undertaken include environmental safeguards, level control, demolition, excavation, drainage, concrete pathways, furniture and BBQ installation, sandstone retaining walls, timber decking, electrical connections to the BBQ, and planting.

Established in 1969, as a tribute to Sir Joseph Banks and covering 2.2 hectares, the Joseph Banks Native Plants Reserve is one of only a few specialised gardens in Sydney devoted entirely to Australian native plants.
