Comment
Condition 55 requires a small patch of vegetation shown in Figure 1 to be rehabilitated. Further to our comments
relating to Condition 53, it is noted that the rehabilitation works proposed by Condition 55 relate to non remnant
vegetation (or Category x) under the State VMA mapping. NCES’s recent assessment of this vegetation is provided in
attachment A, which indicates that VC 4 includes linear and isolated strips of regrowth vegetation which is not deemed
to be a priority for inclusion in the conservation covenant. Accordingly, it is not reasonable to be required to
rehabilitated as the isolated non remnant strip of vegetation is of low ecological value and as such we request that
Condition 55 be deleted.
