Council 2006b)

The subject site is identified as being of ‘State Significance’ on the EPA's “Biodiversity Assessment Panel
mapping of State Significant Bioregional Wildlife Corridors” (Diagram 3 Girraween Master Plan.

This significance status is based on the Dry /open heath (RE12.2.9/12.2.13) on the sand dunes being an ‘of
concern’ Regional Ecosystem. The “State Habitat for rare and threatened Species” category reflects
covering the Wet heath area “not of concern” Regional Ecosystems that remain above the 30% of pre
clear areas but still provide essential habitat for flora species targeted in the survey above, along with Fauna
such as the Ground Parrot (Pezoporus wallicus) and acid frogs .

From the reproduced Diagram 3 below it can bee seen that the entire Lot 1 is considered to be of ‘State
biodiversity significance.

The balance of Lot 1 south of the proposed development is now included in the “Open Space -
Conservation” Zone designated for protection of this wildlife corridor.
