Please note:
1. All area and area derived figures included in this table have been calculated via reprojecting relevant spatial features to Albers equal-area conic projection
(central meridian = 146, datum Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994). As a result, area figures may differ slightly if calculated for the same features using a
different co-ordinate system.
2. If Table 5 contains a Category 'plant', please be aware that this refers to 'plantations' such as forestry, and these areas are considered non-remnant under
the VMA.

The VMA status of the regional ecosystem (whether it is endangered, of concern or least concern) also determines if any of
the following are applicable:
        • exempt clearing work;
        • accepted development vegetation clearing codes;
        • performance outcomes in State Code 16 of the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).



3.3 Watercourses
Vegetation management watercourses and drainage features for this property are shown on the vegetation management
supporting map in section 4.2.


3.4 Wetlands

There are no vegetation management wetlands present on this property.


3.5 Essential habitat
Under the VMA, essential habitat for protected wildlife is native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992
(NCA) as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or near-threatened wildlife.

Essential habitat for protected wildlife includes suitable habitat on the lot, or where a species has been known to occur up to
1.1 kilometres from a lot on which there is assessable vegetation. These important habitat areas are protected under the
VMA.

Any essential habitat on this property will be shown as blue hatching on the vegetation supporting map in section 4.2.
