4.2.1      Mapped Waterway
    •    The south-eastern portion of the site is mapped as containing low and medium value Fisheries
         waterways. Site surveys identified that a single waterway traverses the site at its southern extent, parallel
         to the line of cleared vegetation.
    •    A large number of introduced species, including Pinus elliottii (Slash Pine) and Cinnamomum camphora
         (Camphor Laurel), were recorded amongst the waterway vegetation. Introduced species dominated the
         downstream portion of the area adjacent to the Myall Street storm water pipes, especially Cinnamomum
         camphora (Camphor Laurel).
    •    The waterway is fragmented by arterial roads; Myall Street to the north and Bruce Highway to the south.
         In turn, the waterway is heavily degraded and highly modified, currently passing through a number of
         (seen in Plate 2 below).
