                                                                                      Native Foresters



The clearing impact area for the southern stormwater discharge point will impact on 1,700m2
of vegetation which is consistent with RE 12.5.3 and 800m2 of RE 12.5.4. The discharged
stormwater will exit into RE’s 12.3.5 and 12.3.13 , as described in detail below. Vegetation
descriptions include any ground truthed variations from the RE mapping.

 i. RE 12.5.3 – Endangered

     Eucalyptus racemosa subsp. racemosa woodland with Corymbia intermedia, E.
     siderophloia +/- E. tindaliae, E. resinifera, E. pilularis, E. microcorys, Angophora
     leiocarpa. Melaleuca quinquenervia is often a prominent feature of lower slopes. This
     RE occupies elevated sections within the site. Onsite it is open woodland with
     Eucalyptus racemosa subsp. racemosa dominant in the canopy (Figure 10). Other
     canopy species include Eucalyptus resinifera, Corymbia gummifera, Corymbia
     trachyphloia, Corymbia intermedia and Syncarpia glomulifera. The mid stratum
     contains a range of juveniles of the above species, plus Acacia cincinnata, A.
     disparrima, A. melanoxylon, and Allocasuarina littoralis. Common shrubs include
     Banksia spinulosa, Persoonia virgata, Acacia hubbardiana, and Austromyrtus dulcis.
     The ground stratum comprises numerous sedges and grasses with Entolasia stricta,
     Schoenus brevifolius and Lepidosperma laterale common. There are occasional
     patches of Themeda triandra, Pteridium esculentum and Caustis blakei. Melaleuca
     quinquenervia is also common on the edge of this RE where it merges into RE 12.5.4.

     The extent of this RE within the Potential Impact Area and 100m buffer is generally
     consistent with the mapping, however it does extend approximately 40 metres further
     south and 20 metres further west than mapping shows. A white survey marker at the
     southern end of the Potential Impact Area appears to be situated in this RE. Refer to
     Appendix J.
