5.1         Biodiversity Overlay




            Figure 4 – Biodiversity Map

            The subject site is included in the Biodiversity Overlay – Area of Biodiversity
            Significance (Figure 5). As stated above, the mapped area is dominated by
            slash pine and gympie messmates which are both plantation timber and were
            planted in 1973 / 74 for future harvest and reducing weed infestation at the
            time. These species are not endemic to the area and accordingly Council has
            recently obtained a tree clearing permit (OPW23/0190).
