Landscape Master Plan

 

Other Fauna

Plant species which are good food resources (pollen, nectar, seed and fruit) for local
wildlife are identified in section 8.5. These are to be are to be incorporated throughout
landscaped areas.

8.3 Street Trees in Road Reserve - Landscaped

Inherent to streetscape design are areas that require clear trunked trees to

provide adequate sight lines for vehicles and pedestrians. Advanced specimen trees to
fulfill this function and/or provide shade, street character,

clumped plantings of mixed structure shall be selected from the list below.

Acmena hemilampra Broad-leaved Lilly Pilly Myrtaceae
Acmena smithii Lilly Pilly Myrtaceae
Banksia aemula Wallum Banksia Proteacea
Banksia integrifolia Coastal Banksia Proteaceae
Callitris columellaris White Cypress Pine Cupressaceae
Cupaniopsis anacardioides Tuckeroo Sapindaceae
Elaeocarpus obovatus Hard Quandong Elaeocarpaceae
Melaleuca quinquenervia Board Leaved Paperbark Myrtaceae
Syzygium australe Brush or Scrub Cherry Myrtaceae
Syzygium oleosum Blue Lilly Pilly Myrtaceae

8.4 Primary Native Landscape species

Species below consist of flora existing on site or known to inhabit the same Pleistocene
ecosystems . They are suitable for inclusion into proposed landscape areas of the
Building Envelopes of the Settlers Cove development. eUnderstorey plantings to
compliment street trees in the Road Reserve - Landscaped shall be selected from the
shrubs and ground layer species list.

Some important attributes of plants listed are given to guide for selection at operational
works documentation. The first attribute column (FR) indicates species with fire retardant
characteristics. These have been determined utilizing a number of reference documents
that differ slightly in nominating fire retardant species. Those species that were not
supported by the majority of references are not classified in this list as fire retardant. On
this basis plants selected for landscaping at this site for their fire retardant characteristics
shall carry the “X” mark in the FR column.

The second column denotes flora that bear seed or fruit (SF) for local wildlife species.
The third column indicates plants that are sources of pollen and nectar (PN) for the local
wildlife.

Flora marked in the fourth column are those species considered to be appropriate for
Fuel control areas (FC) that can be pruned or slashed to < 300mm high.
