This satellite image has an overlay of the mapped distribution of the Ecological Vegetation Classes for this zone. The mapping should only be
used as an indication of which EVCs may occur there. To decide which EVCs relate to your property, use the Landform Descriptions and Geology
& Soils information in the profiles. To view and print an EVC map for your area see the DSE website (www.dse.vic.gov.au) Select ‘Interactive
Maps’ then ‘Biodiversity Interactive Map’ and choose the appropriate layers.
