           3.2. Revegetation

           Revegetation is required around the entirety of the rehabilitation area, focusing on a scattered planting
           of small – medium trees to re-enhance the canopy coverage after weed control occurs in the area.
           Ground covers and native grasses will be densely planted and utilized in areas where environmental
           weed grasses are set to be removed. Revegetation of these areas will assist with long term prevention
           of weed infiltration and improve existing vegetation health.



                 3.2.1. Planting Areas

           Although reference documents state the rehabilitation area is 4,281m2, an existing dam is present in
           the middle of the rehabilitation area, as well as current weed infestations reducing the viable planning
           area. The section identified for rehabilitation on the eastern side of the rehabilitation area is also
           currently unclear due to the lack of surveyor markings/pegs during the preliminary Site inspection and
           GPS inaccuracies. After the initial weed control works are completed and all the viable planting space
           can be accounted for, an accurate quantity of tube stock required for revegetation planting is to be
           provided.
           One of the viable planting areas along the dam at the western side of the rehabilitation area is shown
           in Figure 4 below. Another viable planting area is the relatively clear section near the entry gate and
           driveway also at the western side of the rehabilitation area (Figure 5). After initial weed control works
           and mulching have been completed, infill planting can occur in these areas.
