Proposed Open Area Planting Sites

This proposed planting is approximately 700m2 in area and is located on the slope surrounding a stormwater retention basin on Kookaburra Terrace opposite Grevillea Grove, Goonellabah. The planting aims to improve habitat, slow overland flow and filter pollutants. The western slope is intended to be planted with small-medium rainforest trees, and the eastern slope to be planted with shrubs and native groundcovers. The basin floor and spillway will remain grassed. Vehicular access will be maintained around the planting and across the embankment.
