2.2. Site Description
The site is traversed by two tributaries of Six Mile Creek, described as the eastern and western
tributaries. The location of the 2 tributaries is identified in Figure 2 below. Approximately 70% of
the land is flood affected, except for an area where a playground and some residential lots are
proposed as part of Stage 3, REC13/0146. The majority of the land is pasture except for a
narrow stand of riparian vegetation along the creek lines and a low lying area to the southwest
corner of the lot. The site slopes gently from the northern boundary toward the waterways.
