Wetlands Overlay – Area Subject to Riparian Buffer Overlay (Waterway & Regulated Vegetation

Earthworks, clearing and landscaping was completed between September 2021 and December
2021, to:

-      access to an existing dam,
-      remove and chip mostly weed vegetation,
-      clean out sediment build-up in an existing dam,
-      to clean out sediment build-up in existing drainage lines and provide surface protection
       (Geofabric and Rock), and
-      re-landscaping the exposed and adjacent areas.

Previously most of the land was used as horse paddocks with the new owners re-landscaping,
removing the Camphor Laurels dominate drainage line and improving drainage protections and
improving the existing dam’s capacity.
