               The site is not mapped as a Koala Priority Area but a small area in the north is mapped as Koala
               Habitat (Core) extending from the bushland north of the road. The previous version of plans
               submitted for assessment resulted in the removal of 19 Non-Juvenile Koala Habitat Trees (NJKHT)

               in an ‘isolated pocket’ to the north and close to Resort Drive. The plans were subsequently
               amended to re-locate the tennis courts which has allowed for the retention of these trees.
               The following image details the location of the NJKHT which were proposed to be removed.
