1.7 VEGETATION
A site assessment was undertaken on 16 November 2021. Vegetation within the 150m assessment area
to the west of the proposed development site is dominated by Melaleuca open forest. The canopy has
attained a height of approximately 20m, with crown cover of approximately 60-70%. The canopy is
dominated by Melaleuca quinquenervia (broad-leaved tea tree), with Eucalyptus robusta (swamp
mahogany) and Lophostemon suaveolens (swamp box). The mid-storey is sparse and contains
regenerating canopy species. The understorey is dense and is dominated by a diversity of sedges and ferns
including dense areas of Telmatoblechnum indicum (bungwahl fern). The vegetation community is
mapped by the Queensland Herbarium as containing Regional Ecosystem RE 12.3.4 which is described as
Melaleuca quinquenervia, Eucalyptus robusta woodland on coastal alluvium. The vegetation community
is analogous with Vegetation Hazard Class 22.1 (VHC 22.1) Melaleuca open forests on seasonally
inundated lowland coastal swamps (QFES, 2019). Plate 7 depicts typical conditions within the Melaleuca
swamp to the west of the site.
