4.3.3    Vegetation Community 3 – Modified area with scattered mature trees and gardens
VC3 captures the gardens and scattered mature trees immediate surrounding the aged care facility
and carparks. Mature tree species present include Allocasuarina littoralis (black sheoak), Melaleuca
quinquenervia (broad-leaved paperbark), Melaleuca Leucadendra (weeping paperbark), Bamboo
spp., Lophostemon suaveolens (swamp box), palm spp., Macaranga tanarius, Glochidion ferdinandi
(cheese tree), and Acacia spp.
An area in the southern extent of the VC3 unit has been recently cleared for bushfire protection.
VC3 comprises native vegetation but is not considered representative of intact functional bushland
and therefore not an Ecologically Important Area under the NSC Planning Scheme. Plate 11 depicts
typical vegetation within VC3.
