               3.     SITE DETAILS
               3.1. Site History
               Historical titles indicates the site was used for landfill between 1912 and 1958 – disposing of waste
               (excluding inert construction and demolition waste).
               3.2. Site Description
               The subject site has an area of 3.53ha and is an irregular shaped allotment with 176m frontage to
               Lake Macdonald Rd and 46m frontage to Dianella Ct. The site is located on the side of a hill which
               includes gentle slopes (<10%) to the north and northeast. Access is limited to Lake Macdonald Rd
               due a cutting along this frontage. A small drainage line is also present through the central part of
               the site.
               The site comprises an existing shed towards the site’s western boundary which is also the top of
               the hill. The remainder of the site is a mixture of open grassland and slash pine and Gympie
               messmates over the southern portion of the site that are both plantation timber and were planted
               in 1973/74 for future harvesting and reducing weed infestation at the time. These species are not
               endemic to the area and accordingly Council has recently obtained a tree clearing permit
               (OPW23/0190).
               The site does comprise contaminated land involving a previous landfill operation under the slash
               pine over the southern portion of the site and nightsoil disposal over the cleared northern portion
               of the site. The site is listed on the Environmental Management Register but is proposed to be fully
               remediated prior to sealing of the plans and the commencement of any future land uses.
