A property assessment was undertaken by the Barung Landcare Association in 2007. (The full report is available at ???). An extract describing the property is as follows:
‘diversity in soil profile types results in a heterogeneous landscape comprised of a matrix of differing & significantly definable vegetation communities ??.. These conditions have allowed a great diversity of flora and fauna species to evolve ?.’
For this reason the property has potential for multiple uses.
It can be maintained in its existing state as a very private secluded lifestyle block;
The established cleared fire access tracks throughout the forest provide great opportunities for
recreational activities through this very diverse vegetation;
Existing timber can be milled in ??ha of certain defined areas;
There is an opportunity to plant trees into an existing 8 ha cleared area;
Tree thinning & revegetation can be undertaken over ?? ha.
The property already includes several varieties of bamboo, which means that there is potential to
expand & develope a very viable bamboo propagation and harvesting enterprise.
This property has a Qld Government endorsed Property Map of Assessable Vegetation (PMAV). This means that there are defined areas on the property that can be milled without further consultation with government beaureaucrats.
