Extract – Regional Ecosystem Mapping




                                                 ―the site‖




Source: Department of Environment and Resource Management

As illustrated above, the western portion of the site is identified as containing Remnant that is of
least concern regional ecosystems. The proposed reconfiguration is in association with an
approved Material Change of Use (Council Reference: DA2007/1259).                     The former
Department of Natural Resources and Water was a concurrence agency for this application,
and found that the clearing of vegetation on the site was exempt as it constitutes clearing for an
urban purpose within an urban area in accordance with the policies at the time the application
was assessed.

In accordance with Schedule 7, Table 2, Part 4 of the Sustainable Planning Act, the application
does not require referral to the DERM as a Concurrence Agency, as the application is for an
Urban use in an Urban area, and as such, clearing of vegetation necessary for the
establishment of the Urban use is exempt from assessment against the Vegetation
Management Act 1999.
