                  Vegetation within the extent of disturbance is mapped as a non-remnant vegetation community and
                  does not contain any essential for any significant flora or fauna species (Figure 3).

                  Northern corner of the site is mapped as a Koala priority area; the site does not contain any mapped
                  koala habitat (See Figure 4).

                  See Table 2 for a list of significant fauna species previously recorded within 2 km of the project area
                  or with essential habitat within 2kms of the site.
