Industrial

Mapping and analysis

The total canopy cover area (37 ha) as a proportion of total Industrial land use area is 1.9%. Industrial land use comprises a non-vegetated area of 58.4%. Industrial land area is predominantly used for buildings, hardstands, carparking and other infrastructure associated with operations. Vegetation of less than 3m in height (including grass) makes up 39.7% of the total area for Industrial zoned land.

Higher than average canopy cover rates were seen in small pockets of industrial land areas in Kooringal, Forest Hill, Cartwright’s Hill and Glenfield Park. Bomen has very low cover (1.7%) comprising a small amount of remnant vegetation as a result of historical land clearing practices. Figure 13 shows a breakdown of Industrial land use area and canopy by suburb.
