     Regional Ecosystem dominant in the area include: 12.3.1, 12.3.2. The Regional Ecosystem’s
     identi~.ie nearby contains palustrine wetlands,and is associated with riparian zones. The
     pr<;Jperty lot 30,’SP1611951 is situat~d between Pinbarr~n Creek and Six Mile Creek. The
     slope of the ’land,which is confirmed by engineering plans, indicates that the water runoff
     from lot 30, SP1611951 enters into Six Mile Creek under Tablelands Road.


     The number of each species and spacing between each planting were chosen to reduce

     competition between species and provide layers through the canopy and greater structural
     and floral integrity, to suit the topography of the land and compliment the wishes of the

     property owner.

     On the 17th May 2012 during planting there were no declared Class lor 2 weed species or

     environmental weeds present on the property either within the planting site. However

     several Cinnamomum Camphora (Camphor laurel), a class 3 weed, were still present in the

     footpath strip on council land, in the remnant vegetation aligning Brewers Rd on the day of
     planting. As instructed by SCC Environmental Officer Conner Neville, the landholder
     maintained these trees, as per section 47, Weed Clearance, of the Development Application

     Decision Notice.




     During a follow up visit, on July 12th 2012, there were no additional weed species that are
     either declared plants under the Land Protection (Pestand Stock Route Management)Act

     2002 and        sub-ordinate Regulation 2003 or any significant pest species listed in the

     Sunshine Coast local Government Area Pest Management Plan 2011-2015. This has satisfied

     all requirements as per the Decision Notice, Condition 47.


     It has been noted that on July 12th 2012 that an additional 6trees were planted by the

     landholder along the extended section Tanderra Dr and an additional 6 trees were planted

     on the       footpath between the driveways, leading to the house lots, along Brewers Road.

     A pile of chipbark remained on the property and was indicated by the owner that it was kept

     for maintenance of the planted trees.
