        described as ‘Eucalyptus racemosa subsp. racemosa woodland on remnant Tertiary
        surfaces’.
   7. Adjacent vegetation to the north contained predominantly managed landscapes
        associated with established rural residential land uses.

2.2.2 Vegetation Classification
The structure and composition of vegetation communities determine the rate at which dry
fuel accumulates. Some vegetation communities protect fuel from drying out in all but
extreme bushfire seasons, making the vegetation susceptible to very destructive bushfires,
whilst other vegetation communities may expose fuels to drying and therefore be frequently
available for burning.

Vegetation communities surrounding the proposed development were referenced against
mapped RE’s in the general vicinity, and Vegetation Hazard Classifications and Potential Fire-
line Intensity calculations as detailed in the CSIRO (2014) report. Potential Fuel Load
calculations were undertaken on site to validate vegetation classifications and subsequently
potential bushfire hazard to the proposed development.
