Banks Reserve
Banks Reserve is located on both sides of Lalor Creek between Joseph Banks Drive and Vardy’s Rd, Kings Langley. It has significant stands of native vegetation that form part of a wildlife corridor extending to the north and south. Lalor Creek runs north to south through the reserve.
Some of the vegetation at the top of the creek bank.
The native vegetation has been overgrown with weed species, but some original canopy and understorey species remain, the regeneration of native species is proving successful. There are remnant species from Cumberland Plain Woodland and Alluvial Woodland Communities on the site.
An example of regeneration works in the foreground, with good regenerating bushland visible in the background.
The Banks Reserve Park Committee meet on the 1st Sunday of each month between 9am — 12pm. Their work in the reserve has included:
- Planting of native trees and shrubs on both sides of Lalor Creek
- The removal of rubbish, and noxious and environmental weeds>
- Participating in National Campaigns, such as ‘Clean Up Australia Day’
