Biodiversity Overlay Review

The site is generally flat, with small changes in the overall topography draining the site to the east and
south.

The site has been farmed with small crops sown and harvested. A house and shed exist along the
eastern boundary whilst along the west, storage of equipment occurs.


3 THE BIODIVERSITY WATERWAYS AND WETLANDS OVERLAY

3.1 RIPARIAN BUFFER AREA
The site is mapped by the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay as containing a riparian buffer
area (Fig 2). This area partially covers the drainage line (as per definition in NP2020 Schedule 1) located
generally to the center of the lot and a small finger drainage line to the south of the lot, draining to the
east.

3.2 AREAS OF BIODIVERSITY SIGNIFICANCE
The site is mapped by the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay as containing areas of
biodiversity significance (Fig 3). The northern half of western boundary of the lot is mapped as an area
of biodiversity significance whilst the southeastern portion is mapped as containing an area of
biodiversity significance with Matters of State Environmental Significance (MSES) environmental matters
(Koala).
