Landscaping design that incorporates non-native, exotic species may lead to the introduction 
of potentially invasive, weedy species.
Soil imports, intentional or via previously used excavation and earthworks equipment, may 
contain pathogens that can spread and infect native vegetation and fauna that do not have 
natural defence mechanisms.
Exotic seeds in soil imports can allow the spread of invasive, weedy species which outcompete 
native species. Secondary impacts may occur on wildlife which utilize the reduced native 
vegetation for foraging or shelter. 
The magnitude and unmitigated significance calculations are presented in the table below.
