                                            the existing modified and maintained area of the
                                            site. No vegetation clearing is proposed. The
                                            existing extent of bushland within the site is
                                            proposed to be retained in-situ.

                                            an 8-16m setback between the proposed
                                            infrastructure (excluding jetty) and dam water line.
