            The subject site comprises an existing shed towards the site’s western
            boundary and the remainder of the site is a mixture of open grassland space
            and slash pine and Gympie messmates over the southern portion of the site
            that are both plantation timber and were planted in 1973 / 74 for future harvest
            and reducing weed infestation at the time. These species are not endemic to
            the area and accordingly Council has recently obtained a tree clearing permit
            (OPW23/0190). The site does comprise contaminated land involving a
            previous landfill operation under the slash pine over the southern portion of
            the site and nightsoil disposal over the cleared northern portion of the site. The
            site is listed on the Environmental Management Register but is proposed to be
            fully remediated prior to sealing of the plans and the commencement of any
            future land uses.
