2.5.5.2 Example 2

Location of Example: 149o20'42" East, 28o31'07" South
Distinctive Characteristics:
  • Windbreaks are located within paddocks. Windbreaks are not remnant vegetation along road corridors.
  • Remnant vegetation along road corridors must not be depicted as Windbreaks.
Regional Considerations:
  • Windbreaks typically occur in relatively flat, open regions of agricultural production where strong prevailing winds can have a destructive impact.
