Weed Clearance


A proportion, approximately 4 meters wide, of trees and undergrowth                                    v~getation in the remnant vegetation, along Brewers Rd
was removed in order to insert the water        mains, as per Unity Water instructions.


47) The vegetation and weed removal was conducted by the landholder. The landhold~r contracted tree services to remove
and mulch a 4m wide strip of vegetation along the footpath to allow underground water mains infrasttucture to be inserted and

additional trees on the property to be removed as per "MUSIC"report. Camphor laurel trees (Cinnamomum camphora), a class

3 weed, were removed from the 4m wide section in the natural vegetation area alignil}g Brewers Rd. SCC Environmental Officer.

Mr John Keady (lEBASI PTY lTD) EPA Licence Nos. WIMP10051411,WIRP08717811,WIRP05862909 was present anc supervised

the entire felling and clearing operation throughout the property.



Noosa and District landcare have been contracted by the landholder to help replenish the natural vegetation corridor and

increase the resilience of the buffer zone. This planting will replace trees that were removed, as part of the water mains

infrastructure being inserted, and add biodiversity and integrity to the area, reducing the incidence of Class 3 weeds and;

Environmental weeds regener ting in the future. 300 native species endemic to’ ooran and suitable to the Regional                                                                                                Ec~System
