APPENDIX 6 SITE PRIORITISATION METHOD<br />
To determine the conservation significance and the need for ground-truthing (surveying), sites were<br />
prioritised according to the following table (GBCMA in prep.). If ground-truthing was required and no<br />
survey was completed (eg. more than 100 sites required survey), the minimum priority status was<br />
applied. *LCM refers to the <strong>Landscape</strong> Context Model.<br />
