      The Girraween Nature Refuge and surrounding vegetation to the north and east of
       the subject site mapped as High potential bushfire intensity:
       o Vegetation in this area is generally consistent with the Regulated Vegetation
           Management Mapping. That is the area is consistent with Regional Ecosystem
           12.2.5 which fits under broad vegetation group 9f - Corymbia intermedia +/-
           Lophostemon confertus +/- Banksia spp. +/- Callitris columellaris open forest on
           beach ridges usually in southern half of bioregion.
       o Our site inspection was analogous with the RE mapping as we observed a
           Callitris columellaris, Corymbia intermedia and Lophostemon confertus low open
           forest to woodland with a “wallum” open understorey (see Photographic Plate 6).
