5.1          Site Description
The site is described as Lot 3 on SP258991, and totals some 22.83 ha. At the time of our investigation, an
existing residence was located to the centre/south of the lot, with a shed adjacent to the south-west. The
site generally consisted of a number of rounded spurs and flank slopes, interspersed with established
drainage lines. The site is bounded by Black Mountain Range Road to the west and south, the Bruce
Highway road corridor to the north; and moderately sized rural-residential properties to the east.
The site had been most recently utilised for pastoral activities, with grassed paddocks being cleared of
most significant vegetation. Small to medium sized trees tended to be sporadic across the land area,
although were concentrated in copses around gully inverts and along the eastern boundary.
A recent aerial image of the site is provided in Text Figure 2 below.
