| Description | Angophora leiocarpa, Eucalyptus crebra +/- Corymbia intermedia, E. longirostrata, E. major, E. tereticornis, E. acmenoides or E. portuensis, C. citriodora subsp. variegata woodland to open forest. Occurs on Mesozoic to Proterozoic igneous rocks including granite. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 9h). Vegetation communities in this regional ecosystem include: 12.12.24x1: [RE not in use]²: This regional ecosystem is now mapped as 12.5.1e as it occurs on land zone 5. Angophora leiocarpa, Eucalyptus crebra +/- Corymbia intermedia, E. longirostrata, E. major, E. tereticornis, E. acmenoides or E. portuensis, C. citriodora subsp. Variegata woodland to open forest. Occurs on areas that have been subject to deep weathering (land zone 5). Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 9h). |

| Protected areas | Oakview NP, Nangur NP, Wrattens NP, Tarong NP, Woroon NP, Cherbourg NP, Mount Blandy CP, Cherbourg CP, Dawes NP, Mount Binga NP, Wrattens CP, Mudlo NP |
| Special values | 12.12.24: This ecosystem is known to provide suitable habitat for koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus). |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Summer to winter. INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 4-25 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 4. INTERVAL_MAX: 25. STRATEGY: Aim for 40-60% mosaic burn. Burn with soil moisture and with a spot ignition strategy so that a patchwork of burnt/unburnt country is achieved. Variability in season and fire intensity is important. ISSUES: The fire regime should maintain a mosaic of grassy and shrubby understoreys. |
1 Estimated extent is from version 13 pre-clearing and 2021 remnant regional ecosystem mapping. Figures are rounded for simplicity. For more precise estimates, including breakdowns by tenure and other themes see remnant vegetation in Queensland.
2 Superseded: Revision of the regional ecosystem classification removed this regional ecosystem code from use. It is included in the regional ecosystem description database because the RE code may appear in older versions of RE mapping and the Vegetation Management regulation.
