General advice
1.      Terms and phrases used in this document are defined in the Planning Act 2016 its regulation or
        the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP) v2.6. If a word remains undefined it has
        its ordinary meaning.

2.      Terms defined in the Glossary of Terms found within the state code 25: Development in South
        East Queensland koala habitat areas are taken to have the same meaning in these conditions.

3.      A reference to state code 25 is a reference to the version of the state code 25: Development in
        South East Queensland koala habitat areas in effect as at the date of this development
        approval.

4.      The Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 includes mandatory requirements
        that applies to all persons undertaking the clearing of koala habitat trees, including that clearing
        be undertaken sequentially and in the presence of a koala spotter.
        Penalties for non-compliance apply.
        For further information please contact the Department of Environment and Science at
        [email protected].      Despite this development approval, other permits or approvals may be required for the clearing
        of koala habitat. To determine if the proposed clearing requires other approvals under other
        local, State or federals laws go to www.qld.gov.au (search ‘vegetation clearing requirements’).

6.      The development contains areas mapped as containing a high-risk area on the protected plant
        flora survey trigger map. Where clearing is proposed within a high-risk area, it is a requirement
        under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 to conduct a flora survey in accordance with the Flora
        Survey Guidelines to determine if there are any protected plants on the clearing site. If
        protected plants are found on the clearing site, a clearing permit under the Nature
        Conservation Act 1992 may be required.

7.      The development contains habitat for threatened and special least concern fauna species. If the
        development requires tampering with a protected animal breeding place, a species
        management program may be required.
