       ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES & RATIONALE FOR APPROVING RAL 20-019
  Fluvial Geomorphology & Mapping
 The state Vegetation Management Act and Noosa Plan 2020 maps indicate that a waterway passes
  through the property. On site assessment and online imagery confirm the site has two
  impoundments with other farm dams upstream and no apparent defined bed and banks
  downstream. The Preclear Regional Ecosystem mapping indicate that it was likely the site was a
  palustrine wetland ecosystem (12.3.4 - vulnerable) prior to disturbance (Fig 1). This proposition is
  consistent with the upstream remnant on the north side of Jirrima Crescent (Figure 2). The state’s
  Vegetation Management Act mapping also shows the site as a groundwater dependent ecosystem
  (Fig 3).           Preclear Regional Ecosystem Mapping
