REVEGETATION SPECIFICATIONS
REVEGETATION DESIGN

The Rehabilitation Area (Vegetation Covenants) includes approximately 1.02ha of
land which is host to sparse vegetation density with high percentage of pasture grass
presence (refer Plate D). This area will require direct revegetation of suitable native
species.

Revegetation is to include species drawn from the species palette listed in Tables 2
and 3 to achieve the performance criteria listed in Table 4 (refer RP06).

   

Plate D —- Example of denuded area (foreground)
REVEGETATION METHODOLOGY

The methodology for the revegetation program is to generally occur in the following
chronological order:

Revegetation Area 1

1. Clearly mark any existing native species that may be obscured within the weed

control areas to prevent incidental damage during site preparation and weed

control activities.

Slash entire revegetation zone.

3. Undertake comprehensive weed control, including control/removal of woody
weed species.

4. Delineate planting rows and stem locations

N

5. Apply herbicide treatment to each planting location (500mm radius spray zone
around stem location)

6. Once herbicide treatment has taken effect, install Canopy and Small Trees.

7. Water in plants as required.

8. Apply mulch.

9. | Undertake maintenance for duration of the 12 month maintenance period.

10. Slash reemergent grass between planting rows.

11. After completion of 9 months maintenance apply herbicide to remaining grass
cover and install understorey species.

Revegetation Area 2

1. Undertake comprehensive weed control, including control/removal of woody
weed species as well as herbicide treatment of all herbaceous weeds and
pasture grasses.

Once herbicide treatment has taken effect, plants can be installed.

Water in plants as required.

Apply mulch.

Undertake maintenance for duration of the 12 month maintenance period.

PLANTING METHOLOGY

Planting

Once weed treatment has taken effect, individual planting holes are to be manually
dug or by mechanical auger at the densities prescribed within this Plan. Plants are to
be provided as 50mm native tubestock. As a minimum, all tubestock is required to:

¢ Have a significantly established root system;

¢ Not display signs of ‘yellowing’, leaf or stem damage or disease, root
curling/girdling or restriction related to being ‘pot bound’;

e Shrubs to have a single, straight trunk that is a minimum of 25cm tall for 50mm
tube-stock; and

e¢ Be sun hardened.

All tubestock is to be installed as per the Specification detailed in Figure 1.

Watering
Planting is to occur as follows;

. Planting must not occur unless soil moisture is adequate;

. All stock must be watered immediately prior to planting;

. All planting holes are to be pre-watered prior to installation of tubestock; and

° Apply an initial establishment watering and continue to water as required to
ensure survival.

Mulch

Each plant installed on a slope of <1:3 gradient is to have a minimum 500mm radius ‘ring’
of organic mulch (e.g., sugar can mulch or forest blend) applied to a depth of 100mm and
adequate mulch covering must also be present at the point of off-maintenance (i.e.,
minimum 50mm mulch coverage should be available). Tip mulch is prohibited due to high
weed propagule content. Each plant installed on a slope of >1:3 gradient and below the
top of bank (inclusive of the external batter of the bio basin) of all waterways (both
permanent and intermittent) are to be protected by a 400mm radius coir mat fastened
with a single min 300mm stake/pin.

Plant Diversit
The following minimum diversity must be implemented:
Revegetation Area 1

*« Canopy Trees and Small Trees/Shrubs — No less than 5 species from Table 2;
Understorey species — No less than 3 species from Table 2

PSP DEVELOPMENTS PTY LTD [<==

PRELIMINARY

Revegetation Area 2

« Small Trees — No less than 3 species from Table 3, Understorey species — No
less than 3 species from Table 3

NOTE: No canopy species are to be planted within Revegetation Area 2.

Plant Density
Revegetation Area 1

* Canopy Trees & Small Trees 3m centres and Understorey species 2m centres
Revegetation Area 2

« Small Trees 3m centres, Understorey species 1m centres
Edge Treatment (refer RP-02)

A dense linear edge planting treatment is to be provided to the perimeter of the
Rehabilitation Areas as specified by yellow linework on RP02 and as follows:

« 1x row of alternating Lomandra hystrix and shrub/small tree species at 1m
centres

* Shrub species to comprise Alphitonia excelsa, Syzgium smithil, & Melaleuca
viminalis

NOTE: Planting location of the general edge treatment should be setback a minimum

of 0.5m from the edge of the Rehabilitation Areas, allowing for the mature growth

size of Lomandra spp.

Planting Species Palette

A list of suitable species to be used is presented in Tables 2 & 3. Additional species may
be used if they are locally indigenous to the Regional Ecosystem 12.3.2 Eucalyptus
grandis talf open forest on alluvial plains. Where the species listed are not available at time
of works then similar native alternatives that occur within the local vegetation communities
may be utilised. Species substitution must be approved by NSC.
