6.0     Potential impacts, Recommendations and Mitigation Measures

Potential ecological impacts identified within this section of the report are based on the proposed Concept Master Plan (refer to the Figures Section of
this report) for the subject site located at 10 & 22 Rose Gum Road and 521 Elm Street, Black Mountain. Table 8, below, outlines potential impacts,
recommendations and mitigation measures for the proposal.
