2.2    Topography
As illustrated in Text Figures 5, the proposed shed site is located in the centre of the property, mid-slope and
to the south of Top Forestry Road which generally traces a local ridgeline. The allotment generally falls in a
south-easterly direction to a natural gully at the southern end of the property. Downslope to the south-east
of the proposed shed site is a dam that catches surface runoff.
The topographic features observed during the site walkover and ground slopes recorded using a hand-held
clinometer are shown in Text Figure 5. The inferred natural ground slope across the development site (prior
to earthworks) was about 12°, with slopes of 11° to 15° observed above the development area, and slopes of
12° to 25° downslope of the proposed shed site.
