EXISTING VEGETATION
The site supports a small array of native vegetation, including Banksias and Casuarinas. It is
noted that most of this vegetation falls within the permissible build envelope. Vegetation
outside the building envelope can generally be preserved apart from vegetation in the vicinity
of the proposed drive way. Two small casuarinas are currently located where the drive way is
proposed and it is proposed to replace them with mature pandanus palms either side of the
proposed driveway. Realignment of the existing stone retaining wall will be required to
facilitate the preferred driveway location. A local landscaper has been approached and rocks
                                                                                                 I
can be sourced to match the existing wall. A landscape plan is attached.

It is anticipated that existing vegetation outside the building envelope can be retained.
It is noted that the site has been used as through access over the years and there is
really only one tree, a Banksia that falls within this soft scape envelope that will
remain. Never the less the landscape design seeks to reinforce the native vegetation
unique to this area.
