2.2       Site Features

5/RP203483

Lot 5 is an irregular pentagonal shaped lot comprising approximately 7.638ha. The lot
has easement access (Easement A on RP203483) via Hamersley Lane to Gumboil Road.
The lot has waterfront boundaries to Lake Macdonald (Lot 1 RP164585) of
approximately 374 metres.

The topography rises from Hamersley Lane at 107mAHD up to 112AHD where the
existing house is located and then falls gently to 95mAHD at lake edge.

The site is largely well grassed with large portions of improved pasture. There is some
riparian vegetation along a non-perennial watercourse (stream order 1) in the north
western portion of the lot and runs in and bends towards the south before heading
east. A grove of trees lines the driveway to the house with some mature vegetation
surrounding the house.

A search of historical images has determined that the site was predominantly cleared
prior to the late1950’s and used for rural purposes since the establishment of Lake
Macdonald (Six Mile Creek Dam) in 1965 and subsequent raising in 1980.
