Bushfire Management Plan Lot 27 RP 89506

 

2. Site Description

The property description for the subject area is Lot 27 in RP 89506 (1.8 ha). The
proposed development forms part of the foothills at the south eastern end of Noosa

‘(Map |).

The site enjoys existing development on all sides with the extensive development of
Bayview Noosa to the south now in progress (see Photo Map 1).

2.1 Vegetation Description

Map 2 at the regional level shows the subject land as a Coastal complex which places it in
natural open forest complexes of Eucalypts, Cypress Pine and rainforest species.

Map 3 shows the site is largely vegetated and falls into two major vegetation types.

e Cypress Pine mixtures
e Riparian mixtures

The Cypress and Riparian mixtures displays a relatively clean forest floor and both these
associations are very fire sensitive. The use of fire as a management tool is not an option
in these areas because fires in these ecosystems will kill most vegetation. Equally fire has
not been present in these areas for a very long period.

The cypress area up slope also has some individual trees of hoop pine. Against the
walking track from Attunga Street down to Hastings Street there is much understorey of
garden species escaped onto this area.
