The redevelopment of Mill Road Depot site could potentially deliver a high quality strategic biodiversity 'hotspot' for the City connecting to a strong city-wide wildlife corridor (railway line). We support the provision of a 6m zone along the eastern boundary that abuts the railway line to accommodate the off-road Chisholm Trail. This area should provide biodiversity function and be designed to benefit wildlife, especially those indicative of the railway environment - e.g. reptiles, invertebrate and plants associated with open mosaic habitat on previously developed land.
