Attachment G - Fauna and Flora Assessment report

                                                                                    Native Foresters



There are no wetlands of significance in the footprint of proposed works, however the tributary of
Cooroora Creek and its riparian zone on the northern boundary of the Vipassana Centre allotment
is mapped as a wetland of high ecological significance.

3.2      Flora assessment
3.2.1 Vegetation within the proposed clearing area

The proposed construction areas and fire management zones of the subject site contain a
combination of remnant and regrowth vegetation, including some large, relictual native trees. A
total of 40 local native species and eight introduced (weed) species were recorded during the
survey within the proposed works areas. No EVNT flora species were recorded. The vegetation
within the construction areas and fire management zones has been divided into four sections
which are described in more detail below.

Appendix E provides specific information on trees which will be impacted by works and trees that
are recommended for retention. Appendix G details the potential extent of clearing within each
of the identified Fire Management and Construction Zones. Figure 5 shows the Fire Management
and Construction Zones and the location of trees to be impacted by works.
