Step 3. Determine the effective slope in degrees under the classified vegetation
The classified vegetation is downslope at 2 degrees.


Step 4. Determine the slope in degrees of the land between the site and the classified vegetation
The slope between the site and the classified vegetation is downslope with an average slope of 2 degrees.


Step 5. Determine the distance of the site from classified vegetation
Distance is calculated from the closest edge of the classified vegetation. Classified vegetation under AS 3959-2018 does not
include low threat vegetation. The distance to the classified vegetation was calculated using a Nikon Forestry Pro Range Finder
and Inclinometer at 40 metres.


Step 6. Calculations
Effective slope (°) - 2
Site slope (°) - 2
Distance (m) - 40
