Details included (where available) for each site:

  • Map of Site Boundaries
  • Boundary Intersections
  • Overlapping or Adjoining Sites
  • Timeline of Events associated with the site
  • Assessment Criteria details
  • Any other notes relating to the site

Site details are updated when new details and available resource allows. There is sometimes missing information for sites, such as Assessment Criteria information, which is unavailable and was never been in BRERC’s possession.
