Tallow Beach Houses is a series of cabins located amongst littoral rainforest and coastal dune vegetation on Tallow Beach south of Byron Bay. Blackwood Ecology completed an Ecological assessment for the owners that included development of a vegetation management strategy to meet bushfire requirements while minimising impacts on adjacent areas of littoral rainforest, stands of Coast banksia and the adjacent SEPP 14 coastal wetland of Tallow Creek.
BINDARABBI
RURAL LAND SHARING COMMUNITY (RLSC), KOREELAH
The BindarabbiCommunity engaged Blackwood Ecology to assess a 200ha property bordering the
Koreelah Gorge and Koreelah National Park.
Twenty-one proposed house sites as well as a Community centre and large
cropping/grazing area were assessed as part of the development. The assessment
of impacts was required to incorporate vegetation management required for
bushfire protection as well as assess the need to gain access to the site through
Koreelah National Park. The location of dwelling sites was specifically
designed to locate dwellings within two suitable areas of the site to limit vegetation removal and minimise potential impacts to the Threatened flora species, Bailey’s cypress pine, which
was recorded within the Subject site.
