    3.1. Desktop Review

      Vegetation within the extent of disturbance is mapped as a non-remnant vegetation community and
      does not contain any essential for any significant flora or fauna species (Figure 3).

      Northern corner of the site is mapped as a Koala priority area; the site does not contain any mapped
      koala habitat (See Figure 4).

      See Table 2 for a list of significant fauna species previously recorded within 2 km of the project area
      or with essential habitat within 2kms of the site.
