Bruce Ridge to Gossan Hill

High quality Box-Gum Woodland exists in both Flea Bog Flat and Gossan Hill Nature Reserve, as well as in the area adjacent to Calvary Hospital, the CIT campus and around the GIO Stadium. Fauna crossing furniture is already in place within the bike bath underpasses beneath Gungahlin Drive to connect Bruce Ridge to woodland on the western side of Gungahlin Drive. This area represents an area for potential consideration as a connectivity corridor for woodland species.

Hello JVR
The reason I added Flea Bog Flat in the comments was because it seemed that the Naturemapr mapping program located the sighting in Aranda.
The plant I photographed (found together with another smalller plant) was found very close to where previous plants were found. In addition, we also found two other plants closer to Haydon drive (about 100 m sounds right), but these had finished flowering.

Hey JVR the sighting is coming up on the correct map - it's just that the suburb is given priority. The location of this sighting is within 100metres of the plants that mainsprite found in 2021.

Could Dibble check the location as it was found in 2021 by mainsprite during our veg survey but further to the east towards Haydon Dr. There were earlier sightings on both sides of Belco Way (see NickiTaws).
Is there a reason why sightings on the southern edge of Flea Bog Flat are tagged as being Flea Bog Flat but on the Aranda map (not Bruce)? Could this be rectified?
