4.3. AS3959 Assessment and Classification of Vegetation

Assessment of vegetation communities has been conducted via a site assessment on the 15th of April 2026,
refer Table 2. All vegetation within 150m of the subject site has been assessed and classified per Table 2.3
of AS3959-2018 (incorporating amendments), refer Table 3 and Figure 4.

Plot 1 Vegetation generally surrounds the subject site, most of the subject allotment is a working lime tree
farm. Access to some areas of Plot 1 vegetation was restricted due to its location within private properties,
therefore Plot 1 vegetation assessment has been aided by aerial imagery, Slope and Vegetation Hazard
Class mapping. Plot 1 has an effective downslope up to 5 degrees under the vegetation, per mapping. Plot
1 Vegetation consists of a dominant Eucalypt canopy, with an understory juvenile trees and grasses. Tree
canopy foliage cover is ~30% and tree height 10-30m+ at maturity. Plot 1 Vegetation has been classified as
Class B Woodland per AS3959-2018 classification methods.

All other areas surrounding the proposed subject site, within the assessment area, are exempt from
classification as they consist of low vegetation cover, highly modified vegetation that is considered low threat
waterways, dams, gravel or sealed surfaces and other infrastructure (houses, driveways, roads, etc).
