 ii. RE 12.5.4 – Least Concern

     Woodland of Melaleuca quinquenervia, Eucalyptus latisinensis, Corymbia intermedia,
     Angophora leiocarpa, E. exserta, and Lophostemon suaveolens. The extent of this RE
     within the site is generally consistent with the mapping. This RE occupies less elevated
     areas below RE 12.5.3, and grows on the interface between Land Zone 5 (weathered
     sandstone) and Land Zone 3 (alluvium). The boundary between the two REs is
     indistinct with species from both REs merging. Slightly elevated (less than one metre
     height difference) patches allow for RE 12.5.3 species e.g. Eucalyptus racemosa and
     Syncarpia glomulifera to grow due to better soil drainage.

     Within RE 12.5.4, the dominant canopy species is Melaleuca quinquenervia with
     Eucalyptus resinifera, Eucalyptus latisinensis, and Lophostemon suaveolens present
     occasionally. Common shrubs include Banksia robur, Persoonia virgata, Acacia
     hubbardiana, and Hakea actites.

     The ground stratum consists of sedges and grasses with Schoenus melanostachyos
     and Lepidosperma laterale common and occasional Pteridium esculentum (Figure 7).
