The lot includes a mapped waterway that transects the central portion of the site running in a
northerly direction and has a mapped riparian buffer area with a width of approximately 165m. The
waterway has historically been dammed with scattered regrowth vegetation consisting
predominantly of Melaleuca Quinquenervia along the banks of the waterway with a small section
at the southern end mapped as biodiversity significance.
