Description

The ecological community described here is a type of scrubby forest or woodland limited to sandy substrates associated with deep Tertiary sand deposits above the present day Nepean River floodplain, primarily in the Camden area within the Macarthur District of south-western Sydney, New South Wales (NSW). Key elements of the canopy include Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolia (Coast Banksia), Angophora subvelutina (Broad-leaved Apple), Eucalyptus botryoides x E. saligna (a natural hybrid of Bangalay and Sydney Blue Gum) and various other species of Eucalyptus over a mostly shrubby understorey. In order to meet the definition of the TEC sites must satisfy condition criteria stipulated in the Listing Advice and/or Conservation Advice. Typically condition is assessed by reference to patch size and vegetation structure thresholds or species composition metrics.
