Onsite inspection and assessment confirm the following:
   • With the development of the (5) nodes the only hazardous vegetation remaining will be the small
         areas of environmental covenants and the isolates of Lots 3 and 7. They are too small to be
         considered a significant risk to the development or surrounds.
   • The Open Space/Parklands to the south of the development is high hazard with considerable fuel
         loads. This area burnt in 2003 and will burn again unless the fuel loads are managed.
   • The lands to the east are National Park and high hazard. This land will burn from time to time.
         It is possible for some ember attack to impact Area 2. The presence of Walter Hay Drive is a
         major separation for most of the site from the eastern National Park. Area 2 has exposure to
         bushfire but the power line clearing provides protection and there is only a narrow, small area of
         National Park to the north.

The next stages of development include the clearing of those nodes of expansion (Figure 10). Two areas,
Lot 3 (4.261ha) and Lot 7 (2.963ha) will be retained in the interim as regrowth vegetation. The extent of
clearing proposed for this Reconfiguration of Lot (ROL) is restricted to the areas of development and
necessary roads and firebreaks.
