2210-31715 SRA - Information request

                                                                                              2210-31715 SRA



        that could occur on the site or potential impacts to MSES as a result of development of the site.
        An arborists report was provided for the additional area of proposed clearing, however an
        ecological assessment report is required for the whole developments impacts on MSES.

        Action:
        The applicant should provide a report prepared by an appropriately qualified ecologist that:
             identifies all MSES on site and provides a likelihood of occurrence list for these MSES
                based on the habitat values found on site.
             demonstrates how impacts to the identified MSES have been avoided to the greatest
                extent possible.
             where all or part of a MSES cannot be avoided, demonstrates how any impacts to
                MSES that cannot be avoided have been minimised and mitigated to the greatest extent
                possible (e.g., through alteration of proposed development configuration (multi-story
                instead of single-story buildings, smaller development footprint, planting on site, etc)).
             provides a significant residual impact assessment for any residual impact on each
                identified MSES (after all avoidance, minimisation and mitigation measures have been
                demonstrated) in accordance with:
                    o Chapter 2A of the Queensland Environmental Offsets Policy for koala habitat:

                         sets-policyv1-8.pdf
                    o DSDMIP Significant Residual Impact Guideline provides for all other MSES:

                         residual-impact-guideline.pdf)
                    o quantifies the maximum extent of proposed significant residual impact to each
                         MSES both in area (ha) and on a plan.
