Johnson Park; a large vegetation patch; is present to the west of the site. However, cleared
residential areas, Elm Street and North Coast/Sunshine Coast train line dissect any viable terrestrial
and arboreal dispersal opportunities to this bushland unit.
Plate 6 depicts the extent of bushland habitat and available movement corridors within and adjacent
to the site.

3.5      Proposed Vegetation Clearing
The extent of the proposed vegetation clearing is detailed on the Plan of Development (attached as
Appendix 1) and identifies a total impact area of approximately 3.33ha. It should be noted that the
majority of this area is either sparsely vegetated or dominated by exotic pine plantation.
Based on the results of a Native Tree Survey that was completed in August 2024, an approximate
total of 131 native trees >4m in height and or 31.5cn diameter, are expected to be impacted out of
196 trees surveyed.
