Appendix C - Ecological Assesment

                                                                                                   PROJECT: J000988




and the covenant vegetation that will offer increasingly shaded conditions to the covenant edge over
time.

The impact of the tree clearing can be countered via the provision of a compensatory biodiversity
offset. In this instance it could be appropriate to provide a direct revegetation offset within the
denuded area in the north-west corner of the lot adjacent to the covenant boundary (refer Plate 2).

                                                                              Potential revegetation area




                                       Plate 12– Suitable Offset location

Determination of an appropriate scale of revegetation is matter to be negotiated with Council but
should at a minimum comprise a 1:1 clearing to offset ratio with trees planted at appropriate densities
and maintained for a period of time until considered successfully established.
Should you have any queries regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact me.
