Park Park Meeting suggested to categorise the gully as bush as it can’t be mown. Staff don’t believe it is appropriate to call the vegetation bushland – it’s not diverse enough, not large enough, and not contiguous with other bushland. The other area isn’t suitable as park as there is not access to mow it or for public to use it.

General Community Use

General community use is believed to be the most appropriate category. The site is steep and difficult to mow or use as a Park. The bushland is poor and does not seem part of any wildlife corridor. It seems to have limited biodiversity value – no Eucalypt canopy and limited range of species diversity.

General Community Use is more appropriate category for the “sports shed” than sportsground as it is also used for purposes not directly relating to the tennis courts or active sports. The subcategory Watercourse is more appropriate than Bushland as the bushland occurs within the river channel. Watercourse includes riparian vegetation within the definition. Tennis courts may be of Cultural Interest, not Significance – apparently shown in photos from 1890 however they have been resurfaced and are not original.
