                                  Plate 2 – Indicative distribution of vegetation communities & clearing extent

            2.1.2     Vegetation Community 1 – Grassland area with low density of mature trees
            VC1 dominates the northern site extent and is characterised by periodically slashed grassland with
            scattered native and exotic native trees. The vegetation community exhibits canopy height range of
            15-30m.
            Mature tree species present included Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel), Pinus elliotii (slash
            pine), Acacia melanoxylon (blackwood), Lophostemon confertus (brushbox), and Corymbia
            intermedia (pink bloodwood).
            A windbreak was present in the western site extent dominated by Corymbia intermedia (pink
            bloodwood) but also contained Lophostemon confertus (brushbox), Pinus elliotii (slash pine), and
            Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel) (refer Plate 3b left)
            A narrow linear tract of vegetation lined a 1st order stream adjacent to the eastern site boundary
            (refer Plate 3b right). The canopy was dominated by Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel) but
            also contained Acacia spp., Lophostemon suaveolens (swamp box), and Corymbia intermedia (pink
            bloodwood). The understorey was sparse due to low light conditions and leaf fallout but where
            present was most commonly dominated by Pteridium esculentum (hard bracken fern) and grasses.
            Plate 3a & 3b depicts typical vegetation within VC1.
