Samples of soil at Crescent Head foreshore have been sent for testing to confirm if the root rot pathogen has died.
Some of the pandanus trees and the surrounding soil at the Crescent Head foreshore will be replaced after tests in February 2022 confirmed them to be infected with root rot.
Council has been starving the root rot pathogen out of the soil throughout 2022. Last week on Friday 9 September, Council's sent samples of soil for testing to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney, which will reveal if the pathogen had died. If the pathogen has died out in the soil, plans to replace the trees can begin.
Council will deliver the replacement of the pandanus trees with the implementation of the Crescent Head Master Plan developed for the Foreshore Linear Park area.
