Upper town side part of Cape hill above vehicle track around to head of 2nd gully
Where we are now
The high ground of the project, from the vehicle track around to the head of gully 2 and out along the track to the gun emplacements. Flat to sloping, between roughly 59 m and 102 m.
What it becomes
Hardy, exposure-tolerant species first, taller trees only once there is shelter, and the sight corridors the Council requires kept open.
Why it is in the plan
Nearly a third of the project area by size, and the ground a visitor crosses between the two entrances. It is also the most exposed, so shelter species go in first.
What needs to happen
0 of 1- Agree the sight corridors that have to stay open
