            Historical Imagery

QImagery was accessed to view historical aerial imagery (CC State of Queensland) and
determine the extent of vegetation and habitat connectivity included in Table 5. Historical
imagery demonstrates continual vegetation clearing over a prolonged period (>70 years)
with limited capacity for regrowth.

 1953 Eumundi to Gympie Rail
 (1:26,000 Film QAP524 Frame 9).
 Historical imagery indicates no
 constructed road access for church
 street (between Red St and
 Memorial Ave). Extensive clearing
 of vegetation of site has been
 undertaken pre 1953. Extrinsic to
 the site, vegetation cover is
 illustrated with an area of
 approximately 150m2 adjoining the
 south-western site boundary;
 however, fragmentation of the
 south-western riparian corridor
 vegetation (end of Pottery St) is
 evident further upstream.




 2000 Pomona Connection Road
 (1:7,500 Film QAP5823 Frame
 121).
 Vegetation clearing activities has
 continued with approximately seven
 canopy trees on site in 2000 and
 inferred juvenile trees or shrubs in
 riparian zones. Some regrowth is
 observed on the church street
 verge in proximity to the south-
 eastern corner of the site. Dwellings
 (2) that are currently constructed
 over and within the northern non-
 perennial watercourse in Red
 Street adjoining the site are not
 evident in 2000. Riparian regrowth
 is evident adjacent the Eastern
 boundary of the site downstream.
