The dedicated parkland is situated within the westem portion of the site. The parkland is an extension of the
Noosa National Park, which borders the northem, western and southern portion of the parkland. The
Peregian Caravan Park bounds the eastern portion of the parkland (Figure 1.2).

The terrain of the parkland can generally be described as a level plain with an extremely low relief of <9m
and a level to very gently inclined slope of <2%. Surface water flows westwards from the Caravan Park and
the parkland, towards the Noosa Nalional Park.

The parkland js largely undisturbed and comprises remnant wet heath vegetation, which is currently mapped
as containing Regional Ecosystems (RE) 12.2.7 / 12.2,12 / 12.2.15. Few exotic species were apparent in
this area. The Noosa National Park including the parkland forms part of a Gilgai formation (i.e. hummocky
micro-relief of soils produced by expansion and contraction caused by changes in moisture) of the wel heath.
This vegetation provides substantial habitat values for various fauna and flora species,

The parkland abuts a strip of highly disturbed vegetation, which occurs within the allotment associated with
the caravan park (new Lot 2, Figure 1.2). This vegetation comprises a dense mixture of native and exolic
vegetation. The abundance of exotic weed species in this area is indicative of historical nutrient levels In
storm water run-off. The service area for the Caravan Park redevelopment (i.e. fire trail, stormwater and
landscaping) is to be situated within this disturbed vegetation, which will be removed as part of construction
works.
