Native Vegetation. Site Vegetation Association Size (ha) Site 1 Eucalyptus socialis/Eucalyptus gracilis mallee 69.7 ha General description: The vegetation is predominantly in good condition with only moderate grazing impacts due to the steep and rock terrain and distance from water. There is a high diversity of native plants and only minor and localised weed infestations on the flats. Some areas have been impacted heavily to past woodcutting activities. Site 2 Eucalyptus socialis/Eucalyptus gracilis open mallee 35.9 ha General description: The vegetation is predominantly in good condition with moderate grazing impacts. However, areas of heavier soils have been grazed heavily and reduced understorey cover. There is a moderate diversity of native plants and only minor and localised weed infestations. Site 3 Eucalypus porosa very open woodland 71.9 ha General description: The vegetation has been heavily impacted by past grazing activities and has reduced understory cover. Reduced grazing levels in recent years has resulted in significant understory regeneration. Some areas of better soils have been subject to past clearance and cropping and are largely denuded of native vegetation. Plant species diversity ranges from low to moderate with reasonable cover of introduced plants such as wards weed (Carrichtera annua). Conservation significance of the SEB Area This is a substantial area of vegetation that is well connected to adjoining areas of native vegetation. The vegetation is in reasonable to good condition and provides a range of habitats for animals. Three different vegetation associations were identified in this area. The site contains or is habitat for a range of threatened species, including 2 National listed threatened plant species.
Native Vegetation. Lessee shall maintain the existing native vegetation in the location shown on attached Native Vegetation Reserve Map protect native plant species. Site Rehabilitation. Prior to expiration or termination of this lease, State may require Lessee to rehabilitate the portion of the premises planted to vineyard to a farmable condition. Farmable condition means that all tree stumps will be removed and all land will be brought back to a condition conducive to the production of irrigated row crops. Farmable condition shall include causing all woody material to be less than (1) inch in diameter and less than (12) inches in length. At State’s request, Lessee shall incorporate any woody material on the surface into the top (6) inches of soil at no cost to the State. Lessee shall not leave in the soil, at levels that are harmful to ordinary agricultural crops, any residual chemicals applied during the term of this lease.
Native Vegetation. Vegetation that is initiated by a natural process, typically via airborne or bird seeding.
Native Vegetation. No native vegetation shall be removed without written authorization and prior approval by the City.

Native Vegetation. Maintain vigorous growth of desirable vegetative cover. This includes reseeding or additional planting if necessary to meet project goals. See Project Specifications – Section 32 96 10 Native Planting and Section 32 92 19 Native Seeding for additional details on methods for establishing and maintaining desirable native vegetation cover in the Project area.
