Photograph/s taken begin of March 2019 in the southern part of Justice Robert Hope Park (Watson Woodland) which is a Government offset site. Not sure whether this planted wattle is Acacia decurrens?

Why is government planting weeds as an offset action?

The Offset Management Plan says "Emphasis will be given to planting local native plant species that improve foraging and nesting habitat …". Acacia decurrens used to be widely planted and it seems as though one or two occasionally slip in.
