3.3      Vegetation

The subject site includes a range of ecotypes arising from the variation in landform / associated
topography and drainage patterns of the area. Two Regional Ecosystems have been recorded on the
site and have been detailed in the Ecology Report prepared by Chenoworth EPLA. The RE is:

RE12.2.5 - Not of Concern       Open-forest to low closed forest. Species can include
                                Corymbia intermedia, C. tessellaris, Banksia integrifolia
                                subsp. integrifolia, B. aemula, Acacia spp., Lophostemon
                                confertus, Callitris columellaris, Livistona spp. and Endiandra
                                sieberi. Melaleuca quinquenervia in swales. Understorey
                                generally shrubby and can include vine forest species. Occurs
                                of Quaternary coastal dunes and beaches and sandy banks of
                                coastal streams. Major vegetation communities include:
                                12.2.5a: Palustrine wetland (e.g. vegetated swamp). Swales
                                dominated by Melaleuca quinquenervia often with Livistona
                                spp.. Occurs of Quaternary coastal dune swales.
RE12.2.15 - Not of Concern      Coastal sedgeland with Baumea spp., Juncus spp. Lepironia
                                articulata, Gahnia spp. and Eleocharis spp. and associated
                                water bodies. Occurs on Quaternary coastal dunes and
                                beaches. Low part of coastal landscape where water collects
                                from both overland flow and infiltration from adjoining sand
                                dunes. Major vegetation communities include: 12.2.15a:
                                Lacustrine wetland (e.g. lake). Associated permanent water
                                bodies. Occurs on Quaternary coastal dunes and beaches.
                                Low part of coastal landscape where water collects from both
                                overland flow and infiltration from adjoining sand dunes.
                                12.2.15b: Palustrine wetland (e.g. vegetated swamp).
                                Lepironia articulata closed-sedgeland. Occurs on Quaternary
                                coastal dunes and beaches. Low part of coastal landscape
                                where water collects from both overland flow and infiltration
                                from adjoining sand dunes. 12.2.15c: Palustrine wetland
                                (e.g. vegetated swamp). Cladium procerum closed-
                                sedgeland. Occurs on Quaternary coastal dunes and beaches.
                                Low part of coastal landscape where water collects from both
                                overland flow and infiltration from adjoining sand dunes.
                                12.2.15d: Palustrine wetland (e.g. vegetated swamp).
                                Baumea rubiginosa closed-sedgeland, with Cyclosorus
                                interruptus and Blechnum indicum. Occurs on Quaternary
                                coastal dunes and beaches. Low part of coastal landscape
                                where water collects from both overland flow and infiltration
                                from adjoining sand dunes. 12.2.15e: Palustrine wetland
                                (e.g. vegetated swamp). Leersia hexandra closed-grassland.
                                Occurs on Quaternary coastal dunes and beaches. Low part
                                of coastal landscape where water collects from both overland
                                flow and infiltration from adjoining sand dunes.

RE12.2.5 is the dominant regional ecosystem on the site.
