| Description | Eucalyptus andrewsii, E. youmanii, E. prava, E. deanei, Angophora floribunda, Callitris endlicheri shrubby woodland or open forest. Occurs on Mesozoic to Proterozoic igneous rocks. Rocky hillsides. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 15a). |

| Special values | 13.12.2: Habitat for threatened plant species including Boronia granitica, B. repanda, Macrozamia viridis, Vincetoxicum woollsii, Acacia pubifolia, A. ruppii, Bertya glandulosa, Grevillea scortechinii, Phebalium whitei, Acacia latisepala, Hibbertia elata, Conospermum burgessiorum, Boronia amabilis, Olearia gravis, Cryptandra lanosiflora and Hakea macrorrhyncha. |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Autumn/Winter (Apr-Aug). INTENSITY: Low. INTERVAL: 7-25 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 7. INTERVAL_MAX: 25. STRATEGY: Burn < 30% of stands in any year, burning patches each year whenever possible. Do not repeat at 7 year intervals (i.e. if burnt at 7 years since last fire, wait 20+ years for the next prescribed burn). ISSUES: Boronia repanda is fire sensitive. |
| Comments | 13.12.2: Altered fire regimes may affect viability. |
