Who We Are
Pine Gully is a reserved park located between Kingston Crescent, Myrtle Road and Pine Avenue in Kingston Park.
Pine Gully is one of four designated natural areas in the City of Holdfast Bay. Historically, little attention was given to this gully, but it has now been recognised as an important natural space and wildlife habitat, and its management has been declared a priority by the City.
Pine Gully is a natural, steeply sloped space that follows an ancient watercourse and it is likely that the area was used by the Kaurna People. After European settlement, the gully had some of the native vegetation cleared. Non-native plants, such as Aleppo pines, were planted in some areas to stabilize the steep slopes. It is now intended to improve the local biodiversity by selectively removing non-native plants and planting appropriate local native species.
About Friends of Pine Gully
The "Friends of Pine Gully” group was established to assist the Council and the Seacliff community in the challenging task of managing the Pine Gully Reserve, and to restore its native vegetation by controlling weeds and replanting appropriate species. These activities are ongoing and are supported by Holdfast Bay Council environmental team and Trees for Life.
Over the last 12 months the City of Holdfast Bay Council, with recent supporting funding from the State Government, has been undertaking remedial vegetation and engineering works in the Gully.
