EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned to prepare an Ecological Assessment
Report for Lot 3 on RP131369, located at 96 Black Mountain Range Road, Black Mountain
(referenced hereafter as ‘the site’). The report was requested to identify the environmental values of
the site and to determine the suitability of a Reconfigure of a Lot (1 into 2) development application
to be submitted to Noosa Council. The outcomes of the environmental investigations identified the
following:
• The site supports local and State level biodiversity values.
• The site is mapped within the Noosa Plan 2020 as being situated in the Rural Residential
Zone and containing Area of Biodiversity Significance, MSES Environmental Values,
Waterways, and Riparian Buffer Area.
• Two vegetation communities were observed within and adjacent to the site:
o Vegetation Community 1 (VC 1) – Regrowth Rainforest;
o Vegetation Community 2 (VC 2) – Managed grassland with low density of semi-
mature trees.
• The development proposal will require the removal of semi-mature trees located within the
VC2 area of which are located outside of the identified Ecologically Important Areas onsite.
• A small protruding unit (approx. 135m2) of VC1 contained within Lot 1 located outside of the
proposed Vegetation Protection Covenant will be exposed to potential future exempt clearing
rights gained from the proposed boundary location.
• Approximately 4.754ha of the site is proposed to be secured within a Vegetation Protection
Covenant inclusive of 99.7% of the identified Ecologically Important Areas onsite. A Covenant
Area Management Plan is proposed to enhance the floristic integrity of the covenant area
through weed controls works and revegetation (where necessary).
The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be
compliant as follows:
• Noosa Plan 2020, Code 8.2.2 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands – Compliant subject to
Council acceptance of the measures proposed to mitigate the impact of the proposed
development on the mapped Area of Biodiversity Significance, (i.e., covenants and
rehabilitation plan).
• Vegetation Management Act 1999 and the associated State Code 16 Native Vegetation
Clearing – No further assessment is required.
• State Code 25 Development in South East Queensland koala habitat areas – No further
assessment is required.
• Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Compliant provided the provision of a suitably qualified and
experienced fauna spotter/catcher is present during all vegetation clearing onsite.
• Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 – referral is deemed
unnecessary.
The following recommendations are set to reduce the environmental impact of the proposal and to
secure DA approval:
• Appropriate erosion and sediment control works are conducted to mitigate impact to the
adjacent Ecologically Important Areas during construction;
• A Covenant Area Management plan inclusive of weed control works and revegetation (where
necessary) is enacted to enhance the floristic integrity of the Vegetation Protection Covenant
Area;
• A suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter catcher be engaged to supervise
vegetation clearing on the site; and

Lot 3 on RP131369 – 96 Black Mountain Range Road, Black Mountain
• All future landscaping and revegetation work consists of suitable local native species drawn
from Regional Ecosystem 12.11.10 (NOTE: revegetation design should consider tree fall risk
and bushfire risk to new lots).

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned to prepare an Ecological Assessment
Report for Lot 3 on RP131369, located at 96 Black Mountain Range Road, Black Mountain
(referenced hereafter as ‘the site’). The report was requested to identify the environmental values of
the site and to determine the suitability of a Reconfigure of a Lot (1 into 2) development application
to be submitted to Noosa Council. The scope of works addressed in this report comprises:
• A desktop assessment of the potential ecological planning constraints acting on the site;
• A site inspection to ‘ground truth’ the results of the desktop findings;
• A flora and fauna habitat survey of the site;
• A discussion of the likely impacts of the proposed development on the ecological resources
identified through the desktop and field investigations;
• Analysis of compliance with relevant government environmental assessment frameworks
identified through the desktop assessment process; and
• Identification of suitable mitigation measures to minimise the environmental impacts of the
proposed development and to assist in securing relevant development permits.
1.2 Development Proposal
The site is proposed to be subdivided into 2 rural residential allotments. Access to the proposed new
lot will be gained via a short access driveway connecting directly to Black Mountain Range Road.
The Plan of Development has been provided as Appendix 1.
1.3 Site Description
The site covers approximately 6.6ha and has been improved with a dwelling and sheds in the north-
western corner of the site. The northern site extent is host to managed grassland whilst the southern
site extent is host to regrowth rainforest inclusive of a waterway. The site is located in the south-
western extent of the Black Mountain area. Plate 1 depicts site conditions.

1.4 Topography
The site is located on the eastern side of the Black Mountain Range ridgeline resulting in slopes
between 5-20 degrees on a mixed east aspect.
The site reaches a topographic high of approximately 200m AHD about the western boundary and
declines to a topographic low of 145m AHD about the eastern boundary.
A watercourse was observed flowing west to east through the regrowth rainforest in the south and
another was observed entering the north-eastern corner of the site. The watercourses meet about
the north-eastern corner of the site and exit the site into the easterly adjacent lot. Plate 2 depicts the
topographic conditions within and adjacent to the site.

2.1 Desktop Assessment
The desktop assessment comprised an investigation of the previously mapped and recorded
vegetation communities and species, as well as vegetation communities and species which have
the potential to be present. The following resources were accessed during the desktop assessment:
• The Noosa Plan 2020 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay;
• The Department of Resources (DoR) Vegetation Management Supporting Map;
• South East Queensland Koala Conservation Strategy, Koala Habitat mapping;
• The Department of Environment and Science’s (DES) Wildlife Online database;
• The DES Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Area mapping; and
• The Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment’s Environment
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Protected Matters Search
Tool.
2.2 Field Survey
A field survey was undertaken on 3 December 2021 & 2 June 2022 to verify the composition, extent
and abundance of native plant species, vegetation communities and fauna habitat within the site.
The field survey methodology comprised a walking meander through the site whilst observations
were made of the in-situ vegetation species and habitat elements including adjoining vegetation and
specific habitat features such as nests and tree hollows. The survey included a targeted search for
the presence of any flora species listed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act) and/or the
EPBC Act.

3.7 EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool
The EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool was queried in May 2022 using a 2km search radius.
The Search uses bio-climatic modelling to predict where protected matters may be present in an
area and therefore does not necessarily indicate the actual recorded presence of protected matters.
The Search Result identified that the following Matters of National Environmental Significance
(MNES) have the potential to be present within a 2km radius of the site (refer to Appendix 3):
• The ‘endangered’ Coastal Swamp Oak Forest of New South Wales and South East
Queensland Threatened Ecological Community;
• The ‘Critically Endangered’ Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia;
• 16 threatened flora species;
• 29 threatened terrestrial fauna species; and
• Marine, terrestrial and wetland migratory bird species.

4.3.1 Vegetation Community 1 – Regrowth Rainforest
VC1 is present in the bushland areas onsite. The vegetation exhibits an average canopy height of
16-22m with crown cover of approximately 40-80%.
The canopy is dominated by Acacia concurrens (black wattle) and Acacia disparrima (hickory wattle)
but also contained Jagera pseudorhus (foambark), Macaranga tanarius, Guioa semiglauca (wild
quince), Flindersia schottiana (bumpy ash cudgerie), and Glochidion sumatranum (cheese tree).
The mid-storey contained a mix assemblage of Alphitonia excelsa (soap tree), Polyscias elegans
(celery wood), Alphitonia petriei (white ash), Mallotus claoxyloides (green kamala), and
Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel).
The understorey in the eastern site extent was almost dominated by a monoculture of Lantana
camara with Smilax australis (barbwire vine) and Solanum mauritianum (tobacco bush) also present.
Whereas the balance VC1 exhibited an understorey dominated by Pteridium esculentum (bracken
fern) in the gully with Smilax australis (barbwire vine), Cordyline rubra (cordyline lily), and scattered
Cinnamomum camphora and Lantana camara also present.
VC1 is considered representative of an Ecologically Important Area under the NC Planning Scheme.
Plate 10 depicts typical vegetation within VC1.
Plate 10 – VC1 – Regrowth Rainforest
4.3.2 Vegetation Community 2 – Managed grassland with low density of mature trees
VC2 exhibits regularly managed grassland (slashed) with low density of semi-mature trees. Species
present included Acacia melanoxylon (blackwood), Pinus elliotii (slash pine), Guioa semiglauca (wild
quince), and Flindersia schottiana (bumpy ash).
VC2 is not considered representative of an Ecologically Important Area under the NC Planning
Scheme. Plate 11 depicts typical vegetation within VC2.

4.4 Fauna
4.4.1 Fauna Habitat Values
The observed habitat within the site includes mixed regrowth areas, waterways and open grassy
areas, all of which exhibit potential to provide suitable habitat for numerous fauna species.
A specific fauna survey of the site was not undertaken as part of the scope of works and would be
required to confirm the specific fauna species utilising the site’s habitat. Nonetheless, inferences
about the composition of the local fauna assemblage can be drawn from local knowledge, site
conditions and database search results.
Vegetated areas of the site offer fauna species the following habitat opportunities:
• A vegetation community which provides a wide range of foraging and breeding opportunities
(VC1);
• Open canopy and mid-canopy nesting sites and perches which may be used by birds and
arboreal mammals;
• Closed forest areas may provide foraging and resting habitat for predatory owls;
• Fallen logs and dead trees with exfoliating bark may be used by reptiles and small
marsupials;
• Flower pollen from the mix of canopy and mid-strata species may provide a food source for
nectivorous species including possums, gliders, flying foxes and birds;
• Sun exposed areas below canopy gaps and on forest fringes may be suitable habitat for
exothermic reptiles such as snakes, skinks, small lizards and possibly larger reptiles such as
lace monitors;
• Areas of light to heavy leaf litter have the potential to host small reptiles, amphibious species
and may provide breeding opportunities for brush turkeys;
• Grass and sedge groundcovers (native and exotic) have the potential to provide shelter and
movement pathways for small terrestrial mammals as well as foraging and resting areas for
larger macropods; and
• Ephemeral and permanent waterway with potential to offer suitable habitat to host freshwater
crustacean, small fish and amphibian species as well as offering a permanent water resource
for fauna and a foraging corridor for microbats.
No conservation significant fauna species were incidentally observed or heard during the site
investigation.
The site does not support estuarine areas hence is only likely to support freshwater aquatic
species within its waterbodies.
4.4.2 Habitat for Previously Recorded Conservation Significant Fauna
Table 1 identifies the conservation significant fauna species which have been previously recorded
within a 2km radius of the site on Wildlife Online for which the site offers suitable habitat.

5 DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
5.1 Flora and Vegetation Communities
5.1.1 Impacts
5.1.1.1 Native Vegetation
The development has avoided the intact bushland areas (VC1) onsite by locating the proposed
building envelopes within existing modified areas (VC2). The proposed boundary location has
avoided dissecting intact bushland areas precluding a small protruding unit of approximately 135m²
of VC01 to the west of the Lot 1 eastern BLE (refer Plate 12). The extent of impacts is defined in
Figure VC02 Extent of Development.
It is noted the section of boundary through VC01 is aligned along an historical farm track which
previously already dissected this small unit from the adjacent balance bushland unit. The unit was
dominated by Acacia melanoxylon (blackwood) but also contained a single Syzgium spp (lilly pilly)
and Cordyline rubra (palm lily) over a Calochlaena dubia (soft bracken fern) understorey and was
considered synonymous with the adjacent VC1 vegetation.
Although it is not proposed to clear this protruding unit of vegetation, it will be located within 10m of
the proposed boundary hence could potentially be cleared under future exempt clearing
opportunities (refer Noosa Plan 2020 SC1.2 Exempt clearing (g) with proposed Lot 1 being a
Category 2 Lot with an area of 0.3-2.0ha). The proposed Vegetation Protection Covenant over the
Lot 2 vegetation makes it illegal to clear the vegetation along the Lot 2 side of the boundary hence
the potential future exempt clearing opportunities available to Lot 2 are mitigated.

5.1.2 Mitigation Measures
Impacts to native vegetation have been mitigated by locating the proposed building envelopes with
existing modified areas onsite (VC2) external of the intact bushland areas onsite (VC1). Furthermore,
a 4.754ha Vegetation Protection Covenant is proposed to protect 99.7% of the identified Ecologically
Important Areas onsite (VC2) within Lot 2 (refer VC02 green hatching).
A Covenant Area Management Plan has been prepared (refer Appendix 2) to restore the floristic
integrity of the proposed Vegetation Protection Covenant within Lot 2, consisting of weed control
works and revegetation where necessary.
5.2 Fauna
5.2.1 Impacts
The impacts to fauna species anticipated as a result of the development are anticipated to primarily
relate to direct habitat loss during clearing of semi-mature trees contained within VC2 located within
the proposed building envelopes and potential future exempt clearing opportunities within Lot 1.
Additional impacts to fauna may include:
o Reduced nocturnal habitat/foraging suitability on the edge of adjacent bushland (VC1)
via introduction of artificial lighting of external buildings environs;
o Increased predation rates via introduction of domestic pets to the site; and
o Risk of injury or death during vegetation clearing.
5.2.2 Mitigation Measures
The impact to fauna is proposed to be mitigated/minimised by:
• The presence of a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher on-site during
vegetation clearing;
• A 4.754ha Vegetation Protection Covenant proposed within Lot 2 will protect 99.7% of intact
bushland onsite;
• A Covenant Area Management Plan has been prepared (refer Appendix 2) to restore the
floristic integrity of the proposed Vegetation Protection Covenant area through weed control
works and revegetation (where necessary); and
• Lighting hoods are recommended to be installed on all outside lighting fronting the VC1 areas
onsite to restrict direct illuminance into the bushland areas.
5.3 Waterways and Wetlands
5.3.1 Impacts
The Noosa Council Planning Scheme 2020 Biodiversity, Waterways, and Wetlands mapping depicts
two waterways within the site (refer Plate 4). The proposed boundary does not traverse either
waterway at any location. Additionally, all of the proposed building envelopes have been deliberately
positioned a minimum of 20m from the centreline of the mapped waterway to avoid potential future
exempt clearing opportunities impacting the riparian vegetation.
5.3.2 Mitigation Measures
The impact to the waterways is proposed to be mitigated/minimised by:
• The entire mapped extent of the onsite waterways will be contained within the Lot 2
Vegetation Protection Covenant Area of which will be subjected to a Covenant Area
Management Plan inclusive of weed controls works and revegetation (where necessary); and
• Appropriate erosion and sediment control works are recommended to mitigate any significant
impacts to the onsite waterways.

6.2 State Government
6.2.1 Remnant Regional Ecosystems
The Vegetation Management Supporting Map identifies that Category C & R remnant vegetation is
present within the site. Schedule 10, Part 3, Division 4, Table 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017
requires any reconfiguration of a lot application that is assessable development under section 21,
which includes an allotment which is 5ha or larger, to be referred to SARA for assessment against
SDAP State Code 16 - Native vegetation clearing. The site is >5ha in area, however, as the site only
contains regulated regrowth vegetation (i.e. Category C & R) referral is not required as per Schedule
10, Part 3, Division 4, Table 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017.
6.2.2 Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 and SDAP State Code 25
Development in South East Queensland koala habitat areas
The SEQ Koala Conservation Strategy Koala Habitat Mapping identifies that the site occurs outside
of a Koala Priority Area and contains no Koala Habitat Area (refer section 3.4). It should be noted
that the Koala Habitat Mapping was recently updated as the result of a Koala Mapping Amendment
application over the subject site. Therefore, no further assessment is required.
Nature Conservation Act 1992
6.2.2.1 Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map
The Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map identifies that a portion of the site is mapped as a
‘high risk area’ prescribed under the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006.
The flora survey carried out was undertaken in general accordance with the flora survey guidelines
and no conservation significant flora species were identified within the development footprint. As the
proposed development footprint (i.e. VC2) is considered to conform to the definition of a highly
modified environment, a formal flora survey would not be required to be submitted to DES to support
an exempt clearing application. No further consideration of the Protected Plants legislative
framework is therefore required.
6.2.2.2 Fauna
Provision of a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher is necessary during all
vegetation clearing activities to satisfy the duty of care obligations under the NC Act.
Note where active breeding habitat for least concern native fauna is observed, the applicant will be
required to comply with DES’s Species Management Program – low risk of impacts. Where active
breeding habitat for Conservation Significant fauna is observed, the applicant will be required to
prepare and submit a DES compliant Species Management Program – High risk of impacts for
approval prior to clearing commencing. Note active breeding habitat for least concern rainbow
lorikeets was observed in the mature E. tereticornis tree in the west of the site. To avoid possible
delay to clearing activities it is recommended the applicant become a signatory to DES’s Species
Management Program – low risk of impacts.
6.3 Commonwealth Government
No Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) were identified during the field
investigation undertaken within the site. Whilst a fauna survey has not been completed the results
of the habitat assessment infers that the threatened fauna species identified in the Protected Matters
Search Report have a low potential to occur within the site due to the limited amount of suitable
habitat and/or a lack of existing records in the locality.
Furthermore, no native bushland clearing is proposed, precluding a small protruding unit (approx.
135m2) of VC1 which could be cleared under future exempt clearing rights gained from the
development proposal. Therefore, a significant impact to any populations of the listed EPBC fauna
species is highly unlikely. Consequently, application referral to the Commonwealth government
under the EPBC Act is deemed unnecessary at this time.

7 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 Conclusion
A desktop and field investigation have been undertaken to determine the environmental values
present within Lot 3 on RP131369, located at 96 Black Mountain Range Road, Black Mountain. The
outcomes of the desktop and field investigations identified the following:
• The site supports local and State level biodiversity values.
• The site is mapped within the Noosa Plan 2020 as being situated in the Rural Residential
Zone and containing Area of Biodiversity Significance, MSES Environmental Values,
Waterways, and Riparian Buffer Area.
• Two vegetation communities were observed within and adjacent to the site:
o Vegetation Community 1 (VC 1) – Regrowth Rainforest;
o Vegetation Community 2 (VC 2) – Managed grassland with low density of semi-
mature trees.
• The development proposal will require the removal of semi-mature trees located within the
VC2 area of which are located outside of the identified Ecologically Important Areas onsite.
• A small protruding unit (approx. 135m2) of VC1 contained within Lot 1 located outside of the
proposed Vegetation Protection Covenant will be exposed to potential future exempt clearing
rights gained from the proposed boundary location.
• Approximately 4.754ha of the site is proposed to be secured within a Vegetation Protection
Covenant inclusive of 99.7% of the identified Ecologically Important Areas onsite. A Covenant
Area Management plan is proposed to enhance the floristic integrity of covenant area through
weed controls works and revegetation (where necessary).
The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be
compliant as follows:
• Noosa Plan 2020, Code 8.2.2 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands – Compliant subject to
Council acceptance of the measures proposed to mitigate the impact of the proposed
development on the mapped Area of Biodiversity Significance, (i.e., covenants and
rehabilitation plan).
• Vegetation Management Act 1999 and the associated State Code 16 Native Vegetation
Clearing – No further assessment is required.
• State Code 25 Development in South East Queensland koala habitat areas – No further
assessment is required.
• Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Compliant provided the provision of a suitably qualified and
experienced fauna spotter/catcher is present during all vegetation clearing onsite.
• Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 – referral is deemed
unnecessary.
The following recommendations are set to reduce the environmental impact of the proposal and to
secure DA approval:
• Appropriate erosion and sediment control works are conducted to mitigate impact to the
adjacent Ecologically Important Areas during construction;
• A Covenant Area Management Plan inclusive of weed control works and revegetation (where
necessary) is enacted (refer Appendix 2) to enhance the floristic integrity of the Vegetation
Protection Covenant Area;
• A suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter catcher be engaged to supervise
vegetation clearing on the site; and

• All future landscaping and revegetation work consists of suitable local native species drawn
from Regional Ecosystem 12.11.10 (NOTE: revegetation design should consider tree fall risk
and bushfire risk to new lots).

This Concept Covenant Area Management Plan has been prepared to accompany a proposed Reconfiguration of A Lot
development application on Lot 3 on RP131369 located at 96 Black Mountain Range Rd, BLACK MOUNTAIN QLD 4563.
This Plan prescribes the various rehabilitation methodologies required to enhance the ecological resilience of the
rehabilitation area.
REHABILITATION OBJECTIVES
1. The primary objective of the rehabilitation program is to restore and enhance floristic and structural integrity to the
proposed Vegetation Protection Covenant Area.
2. Objective 1 will be achieved via targeted treatment of exotic weed taxa and comprehensive revegetation
works (where necessary).
OVERALL RESTORATION STRATEGY
The Vegetation Protection Covenant Area comprises a total area of 4.754ha and predominantly consists of a regrowth
rainforest, however, some managed grassland and modified areas are also captured.
The vegetated areas contained a low-high level of weed presence with species such as Camphor laurel and Lantana
present at varying densities. Overall, the vegetated areas onsite contains a medium in-situ ecological resilience. An
‘assisted natural regeneration’ management approach (as defined within the South-East Queensland Ecological
Restoration Framework) is anticipated to be required within these vegetated areas alongside revegetation works (where
necessary).
NOTE: Due to the low-high level of weed presence, it is expected that once weed control works have been conducted
within the Vegetation Protection Covenant Area, large areas of the Assisted Natural Regeneration Area will be denuded
of vegetation (especially in the understorey and midstorey strata’s). These areas will therefore require direct revegetation
in these locations.

WEED MANAGEMENT WEED SPECIES TO BE CONTROLLED Weed management is to include the management of all environmental weeds from Vegetation Protection Covenant Area (refer RPO1 Plate A) including weeds listed in the following documents: . Declared plants under the Land Protection (Biodiversity Act 2014 and sub-ordinate Regulation 2016); . Weeds of National Significance (WONS) under the Commonwealth Government Weeds strategy; . Invasive Naturalised Plants in South East Queensland, 2002, Queensland Herbarium; . Noosa Local Government Area Pest Management Plan 2015-2019; . Undesirable Species as listed in Planning Scheme Policy 3 Landscaping Plants and Guidelines; and . Any other exotic plants known to exhibit weed characteristics (i.e. Invasive, competitive characteristics) ESTIMATED SCHEDULE Weed management is to comprise treatment application to all observable exotic taxa as required. Treatment and assessment must continue until declared plants have been controlled (i.e. they are visually dead or dying). The frequency of treatment shall be determined in conjunction with the contractor and be designed to achieve off maintenance at the end of the 36-month maintenance period. GENERAL METHODS All works are to be conducted in line with the SEQ Ecological Restoration Framework. All weed treatments to comply with Minor Use Permit PER11463 & 82307, product labels and individual SDS, and other applicable permits as well as the Chemical Usage (Agricultural and Veterinary) Control Act 1988, Agricultural Chemical Distribution and Control Act 1966, and the Work Health and Safety Act 2077 (including all applicable Regulations). All weed management works are to be conducted by experienced persons proficient in both native species and weed species identification. The method adopted for removal of weeds from the site will be dependent upon the physical stage of development of individual weed specimens. Only herbicides registered for aquatic use as detailed on the manufacturer's specifications are to be applied within or immediately adjacent to waterbodies. Herbicide sprays should be applied in non-windy conditions in order to prevent incidental poisoning of native species and not on days preceding forecast rainfall. A period of three to four weeks is usually required between herbicide application and revegetation. ASSISTED NATURAL REGENERATION Assisted Natural Regeneration management will be undertaken within vegetated areas of the Covenant Protection Covenant Area as it is dominated by existing established native vegetation with a low level of exotic weed invasion (refer RP02 Plate B green shading). Assisted Natural Regeneration applies. ° To natural areas where the native plant community is largely healthy and functioning; . When native plant seed is still stored in the soil or will be able to reach the site from nearby natural areas, by birds or other animals, wind or water, ° Where the natural regeneration processes (seedling germination, root suckering, etc.) are being inhibited by external factors, such as weed invasion, soil compaction, cattle grazing, mechanical slashing, etc.; PROJECT TITLE P: OF 4808984 Environmental Managoment Consultants 70 Bex 9568 ParifcParadive owt 2564 | COVENANT AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN . When limited human intervention, such as weed control, minor amelioration of soil conditions, erection of fencing, cessation of slashing, etc. will be enough to trigger the recovery processes through natural regeneration; and . When the main management issue is weed infestation and/or current land use practices. The re-establishing plant community will be substantially similar in structure, composition and diversity to the original vegetation type (based on the Regional Ecosystem (Pre-Clearing) mapping). It is expected the general management techniques are to follow the principles of: 1. Identifying nodes of resilience; 2. Working to strengthen identified nodes and protect and encourage all existing and naturally regenerating species through assisted natural regeneration processes; and 3. Working outwards from nodes of resilience to increase the size of nodes and gradually connect to other nodes of resilience. PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Performance criteria have been set to provide easily identifiable and quantitative indicators of revegetation progression. Table 1 identifies the performance criteria to be used to assess the success of the weed control works. These performance criteria must be met for the works to be considered successful. The rehabilitation works are to be assessed against these Performance Criteria to ensure compliance with this Rehabilitation Plan. Certification is to be issued to Council at the completion of works to demonstrate that the rehabilitation works have achieved the nominated Performance Criteria. It should be noted that under the Biosecurity Act 2014 the landowner is responsible for biosecurity matters on their land. TABLE 1 - PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Weed management No live woody weeds present in the canopy & mid-canopy at the end of the on-maintenance period. <5% coverage in the understorey of invasive plant species listed under the Planning Scheme Policy 2 Landscaping and Council’s Biosecurity Plan 2020 pest plants listed in Schedule 1 part 3, Schedule 2 and Non-scheduled invasive species.

Ecological Preservation A “no clearing zone” must be established and maintained over the land area defined over the area identified as vegetation protection covenants on the Approved Plans. The following activities must not be carried out within the no clearing zone: a. clearing, cutting down, poisoning, lopping or pruning of native vegetation which is indigenous to, or planted within, the zone b. soil/spoil dumping and/or compacting c. soil excavation, other than for planting indigenous native plants or for works which are a natural consequence of this approval. The following exceptions apply: i. declared plants under the Biosecurity Act 2014, and any Council Listed Environmental Weeds, Undesirable species, Exotic Grasses and other plants identified in writing by Council li. indigenous native trees which pose a well-founded threat to persons or property as approved in writing by Council iii. controlled bushfire burns to maintain ecological processes subject to submission of a Bushfire Management Plan and agreed in writing by Council. Additional Removal of any structures, debris or materials foreign to a natural environment within the Vegetation Protection Covenant Areas.

REVEGETATION SPECIFICATIONS REVEGETATION DESIGN The Vegetation Protection Covenant includes approximately 0.487ha of land which is host to managed grassland or modified areas denuded of canopy vegetation (refer RP02 Plate B pink shading). These areas will require direct revegetation of suitable native species into the denuded strata’s. NOTE: The mapped Supplementary Revegetation Area extent on RPO2 is indicative only and will require on ground confirmation/refinement of location and extent during OPW. Revegetation within the various strata’s denuded areas is to include species drawn from the species palette listed in Table 2 to achieve the performance criteria listed in Table 1 (refer RP-03). Plate D depicts an example of a denuded area requiring revegetation. Plate D — Supplementary Revegetation Area (foreground) SITE PREPARATION The methodology for the revegetation program is to generally occur in the following chronological order: 1. Clearly mark any existing native species that may be obscured within the weed control areas to prevent incidental damage during site preparation and weed control activities. 2. Undertake comprehensive weed control, including control/removal of woody weed species as well as herbicide treatment of all herbaceous weeds and pasture grasses. 3. Once herbicide treatment has taken effect, plants can be installed. 4 Water in plants as required. PLANTING METHOLOGY Planting Once weed treatment has taken effect, individual planting holes are to be manually dug or by mechanical auger at the densities prescribed within this Plan. Plants are to be provided as 50mm native tubestock. As a minimum, all tubestock is required to: e Have asignificantly established root system; e Not display signs of ‘yellowing’, leaf or stem damage or disease, roct curling/girdling or restriction related to being ‘pot bound’; « Shrubs to have a single, straight trunk that is a minimum of 25cm tall for 50mm tube-stock; and e Be sun hardened. All tubestock is to be installed as per the Specification detailed in Figure 1. 2D REFER SPECIFICATIONS AND CAD EMBELLISHMENT INDEX 100MM DEPTH MULCH. FORM SHALLOW DISH DRAIN TO BASE OF PLANT.

Planting must not occur unless soil moisture is adequate; ° All stock must be watered immediately prior to planting; . All planting holes are to be pre-watered prior to installation of tubestock; and ° Apply an initial establishment watering and continue to water as required to ensure survival. Mulch Each plant installed is to have a minimum 500mm radius ‘ting’ of organic mutch (e.g. sugar can mulch) applied to a depth of 100mm and adequate mulch covering must also be present at the point of off-maintenance (i.e. minimum 50mm mulch coverage should be available). Plant Density Replanting must occur with the following density: « Canopy Trees 5m centres e Small Trees 3m centres e« Understorey species 2m centres Plant Diversity The following minimum diversity must be implemented: *e Canopy Trees — No less than 5 species from Table 2 « Small Trees — No less than 5 species from Table 2 « Understorey species — No less than 3 species from Table 2 Edge of Covenant Area (refer RP02 yellow linework) A dense linear edge planting treatment is to be provided to the Supplementary Revegetation area fronting managed grassland as follows: * 1xrow of Lomandra longifolia 1m centres « 1xrow of shrubs immediately behind row of Lomandra longifolia at 2m centres Planting Species Palette A list of suitable species to be used is presented in Table 2. Additional species may be used if they are locally indigenous to the Regional Ecosystem 12.11.10 Notophyll vine forest. Where the species listed are not available at time of works then similar native alternatives that occur within the local vegetation communities may be utilised. Species substitution must be undertaken in conjunction with advice from a specialist native plant nursery (e.g. Landcare).

Caveat
The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report.
This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of International
and National Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened
ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various
resolutions.
Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data
supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making
a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.
For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote
sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point
location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.
Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been derived through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and if
time permits, maps are derived using either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc) together with point
locations and described habitat; or environmental modelling (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental data
layers.
Where very little information is available for species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04
or 0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull);
or captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc). In the early stages of the distribution mapping
process (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to rapidly create distribution maps. More reliable
distribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions as time permits.
Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:
- migratory and
- marine
The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database:
- threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants
- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed
- some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area
- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers
The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:
- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites
- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent
Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

2. Vegetation management framework (administered by the Department
of Resources)
The Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA), the Vegetation Management Regulation 2012, the Planning Act 2016 and the
Planning Regulation 2017, in conjunction with associated policies and codes, form the Vegetation Management Framework.
The VMA does not apply to all land tenures or vegetation types. State forests, national parks, forest reserves and some
tenures under the Forestry Act 1959 and Nature Conservation Act 1992 are not regulated by the VMA. Managing or clearing
vegetation on these tenures may require approvals under these laws.
The following native vegetation is not regulated under the VMA but may require permit(s) under other laws:
• grass or non-woody herbage;
• a plant within a grassland regional ecosystem prescribed under Schedule 5 of the Vegetation Management
Regulation 2012; and
• a mangrove.
2.1 Exempt clearing work
Exempt clearing work is an activity for which you do not need to notify the Department of Resources or obtain an approval
under the vegetation management framework. Exempt clearing work was previously known as exemptions.
In areas that are mapped as Category X (white in colour) on the regulated vegetation management map (see section 4.1),
and where the land tenure is freehold, indigenous land and leasehold land for agriculture and grazing purposes, the clearing
of vegetation is considered exempt clearing work and does not require notification or development approval under the
vegetation management framework. For all other land tenures, contact the Department of Resources before commencing
clearing to ensure that the proposed activity is exempt clearing work.
A range of routine property management activities are considered exempt clearing work. A list of exempt clearing work is
available at
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/clearing-approvals/exemptions.
Exempt clearing work may be affected if the proposed clearing area is subject to development approval conditions, a
covenant, an environmental offset, an exchange area, a restoration notice, or an area mapped as Category A. Exempt
clearing work may require approval under other Commonwealth, State or Local Government laws, or local government
planning schemes. Contact the Department of Resources prior to clearing in any of these areas.
2.2 Accepted development vegetation clearing codes
Some clearing activities can be undertaken under an accepted development vegetation clearing code. The codes can be
downloaded at
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/clearing-approvals/codes
If you intend to clear vegetation under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, you must notify the Department of
Resources before commencing. The information in this report will assist you to complete the online notification form.
You can complete the online form at
https://apps.dnrm.qld.gov.au/vegetation/
Vegetation management report, Department of Resources, 2022 Page 7
Page 65
2.3 Area management plans Area Management Plans (AMP) provide an alternative approval system for vegetation clearing under the vegetation management framework. They list the purposes and clearing conditions that have been approved for the areas covered by the plan. It is not necessary to use an AMP, even when an AMP applies to your property. On 8 March 2020, AMPs ended for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation and managing encroachment. New notifications cannot be made for these AMPs. You will need to consider options for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation or encroachment under a relevant accepted development vegetation clearing code or apply for a development approval. New notifications can be made for all other AMPs. These will continue to apply until their nominated end date. If an Area Management Plan applies to your property for which you can make a new notification, it will be listed in Section 3.6 of this report. Before clearing under one of these AMPs, you must first notify the Department of Resources and then follow the conditions and requirements listed in the AMP. https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/clearing-approvals/area-management-plans 2.4 Development approvals If under the vegetation management framework your proposed clearing is not exempt clearing work, or is not permitted under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, or an AMP, you may be able to apply for a development approval. Information on how to apply for a development approval is available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/clearing-approvals/development 2.5.

Please note:
1. All area and area derived figures included in this table have been calculated via reprojecting relevant spatial features to Albers equal-area conic projection
(central meridian = 146, datum Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994). As a result, area figures may differ slightly if calculated for the same features using a
different co-ordinate system.
2. If Table 5 contains a Category 'plant', please be aware that this refers to 'plantations' such as forestry, and these areas are considered non-remnant under
the VMA.
The VMA status of the regional ecosystem (whether it is endangered, of concern or least concern) also determines if any of
the following are applicable:
• exempt clearing work;
• accepted development vegetation clearing codes;
• performance outcomes in State Code 16 of the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).
3.3 Watercourses
Vegetation management watercourses and drainage features for this property are shown on the vegetation management
supporting map in section 4.2.
3.4 Wetlands
There are no vegetation management wetlands present on this property.
3.5 Essential habitat
Under the VMA, essential habitat for protected wildlife is native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992
(NCA) as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or near-threatened wildlife.
Essential habitat for protected wildlife includes suitable habitat on the lot, or where a species has been known to occur up to
1.1 kilometres from a lot on which there is assessable vegetation. These important habitat areas are protected under the
VMA.
Vegetation management report, Department of Resources, 2022 Page 10
Page 68
Any essential habitat on this property will be shown as blue hatching on the vegetation supporting map in section 4.2.
If essential habitat is identified on the lot, information about the protected wildlife species is provided in Table 6 below. The
numeric labels on the vegetation management supporting map can be cross referenced with Table 6 to outline the essential
habitat factors for that particular species. There may be essential habitat for more than one species on each lot, and areas of
Category A, Category B and Category C can be mapped as Essential Habitat.
Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records. Regional
ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated. Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means an
area of vegetation shown on the Regulated Vegetation Management Map -
1) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors
that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat database. Essential habitat factors are
comprised of - regional ecosystem (mandatory for most species), vegetation community, altitude, soils, position in
landscape; or
2) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.
If there is no essential habitat mapping shown on the vegetation management supporting map for this lot, and there is no
table in the sections below, it confirms that there is no essential habitat on the lot.

5. Protected plants framework (administered by the Department of Environment and Science (DES)) In Queensland, all plants that are native to Australia are protected plants under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA). The NCA regulates the clearing of protected plants 'in the wild' (see Operational policy: When a protected plant in Queensland is considered to be 'in the wild') that are listed as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or near threatened under the Act. Please note that the protected plant clearing framework applies irrespective of the classification of the vegetation under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 and any approval or exemptions given under another Act, for example, the Vegetation Management Act 1999 or Planning Regulation 2017. 5.1 Clearing in high risk areas on the flora survey trigger map The flora survey trigger map identifies high-risk areas for endangered, vulnerable or near threatened (EVNT) plants. These are areas where EVNT plants are known to exist or are likely to exist based on the habitat present. The flora survey trigger map for this property is provided in section 5.5. If you are proposing to clear an area shown as high risk on the flora survey trigger map, a flora survey of the clearing impact area must be undertaken by a suitably qualified person in accordance with the Flora survey guidelines. The main objective of a flora survey is to locate any EVNT plants that may be present in the clearing impact area. If the flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are not present within the clearing impact area or clearing within 100m of EVNT plants can be avoided, the clearing activity is exempt from a permit. An exempt clearing notification form must be submitted to the Department of Environment and Science, with a copy of the flora survey report, at least one week prior to clearing. If the flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared, a clearing permit is required before any clearing is undertaken. The flora survey report, as well as an impact management report, must be submitted with the clearing permit application form. 5.2 Clearing outside high risk areas on the flora survey trigger map In an area other than a high risk area, a clearing permit is only required where a person is, or becomes aware that EVNT plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared. You must keep a copy of the flora survey trigger map for the area subject to clearing for five years from the day the clearing starts. If you do not clear within the 12 month period that the flora survey trigger map was printed, you need to print and check a new flora survey trigger map. 5.3 Exemptions Many activities are 'exempt' under the protected plant clearing framework, which means that clearing of native plants that are in the wild can be undertaken for these activities with no need for a flora survey or a protected plant clearing permit. The Information sheet - General exemptions for the take of protected plants provides some of these exemptions. Some exemptions under the NCA are the same as exempt clearing work (formerly known as exemptions) under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 (i.e. listed in Schedule 21 of the Planning Regulations 2017) while some are different. 5.4 Contact information for DES For further information on the protected plants framework: Phone 1300 130 372 (and select option four) Email [email protected] Visit https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/plants-animals/plants/protected-plants Vegetation management report, Department of Resources, 2022 Page 19

5.5 Protected plants flora survey trigger map This map included may also be requested individually at: https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/map-request/flora-survey-trigger/. Updates to the data informing the flora survey trigger map The flora survey trigger map will be reviewed, and updated if necessary, at least every 12 months to ensure the map reflects the most up-to-date and accurate data available. Species information Please note that flora survey trigger maps do not identify species associated with 'high risk areas'. While some species information may be publicly available, for example via the Queensland Spatial Catalogue, the Department of Environment and Science does not provide species information on request. Regardless of whether species information is available for a particular high risk area, clearing plants in a high risk area may require a flora survey and/or clearing permit. Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for more information. Vegetation management report, Department of Resources, 2022 Page 20

6. Koala protection framework (administered by the Department of Environment and Science (DES)) The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is listed in Queensland as vulnerable by the Queensland Government under Nature Conservation Act 1992 and by the Australian Government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The Queensland Government's koala protection framework is comprised of the Nature Conservation Act 1992, the Nature Conservation (Animals) Regulation 2020, the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017, the Planning Act 2016 and the Planning Regulation 2017. 6.1 Koala mapping 6.1.1 Koala districts The parts of Queensland where koalas are known to occur has been divided into three koala districts - koala district A, koala district B and koala district C. Each koala district is made up of areas with comparable koala populations (e.g. density, extent and significance of threatening processes affecting the population) which require similar management regimes. Section 7.1 identifies which koala district your property is located in. 6.1.2 Koala habitat areas Koala habitat areas are areas of vegetation that have been determined to contain koala habitat that is essential for the conservation of a viable koala population in the wild based on the combination of habitat suitability and biophysical variables with known relationships to koala habitat (e.g. landcover, soil, terrain, climate and ground water). In order to protect this important koala habitat, clearing controls have been introduced into the Planning Regulation 2017 for development in koala habitat areas. Please note that koala habitat areas only exist in koala district A which is the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ" Regional Plan area. These areas include the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Lockyer Valley, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent). There are two different categories of koala habitat area (core koala habitat area and locally refined koala habitat), which have been determined using two different methodologies. These methodologies are described in the document Spatial modelling in South East Queensland. Section 7.2 shows any koala habitat area that exists on your property. Under the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017, an owner of land (or a person acting on the owner's behalf with written consent) can request to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination if they believe, on reasonable grounds, that the existing determination for all or part of their property is incorrect. More information on requests to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination can be found in the document Guideline - Requests to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination. The koala habitat area map will be updated at least annually to include any koala habitat areas that have been made, amended or revoked. Changes to the koala habitat area map which occur between annual updates because of a request to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination can be viewed on the register of approved requests to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area available at: https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/koalamaps. The register includes the lot on plan for the change, the date the decision was made and the map issued to the landholder that shows areas determined to be koala habitat areas. 6.1.3 Koala priority areas Koala priority areas are large, connected areas that have been determined to have the highest likelihood of achieving conservation outcomes for koalas based on the combination of habitat suitability, biophysical variables with known relationships to koala habitat (e.g. landcover, soil, terrain, climate and ground water) and a koala conservation cost benefit analysis. Conservation efforts will be prioritised in these areas to ensure the conservation of viable koala populations in the wild including a focus on management (e.g. habitat protection, habitat restoration and threat mitigation) and monitoring. This includes a prohibition on clearing in koala habitat areas that are in koala priority areas under the Planning Regulation 2017 (subject to some exemptions). Please note that koala priority areas only exist in koala district A which is the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ" Regional Plan area. These areas include the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Lockyer Valley, Vegetation management report, Department of Resources, 2022 Page 22
Page 80
Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent).
Section 7.2 identifies if your property is in a koala priority area.
6.1.4 Identified koala broad-hectare areas
There are seven identified koala broad-hectare areas in SEQ. These are areas of koala habitat that are located in areas
committed to meet development targets in the SEQ Regional Plan to accommodate SEQ's growing population including
bring-forward Greenfield sites under the Queensland Housing Affordability Strategy and declared master planned areas
under the repealed Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and the repealed Integrated Planning Act 1997.
Specific assessment benchmarks apply to development applications for development proposed in identified koala
broad-hectare areas to ensure koala conservation measures are incorporated into the proposed development.
Section 7.2 identifies if your property is in an identified koala broad-hectare area.
6.2 Koala habitat planning controls
On 7 February 2020, the Queensland Government introduced new planning controls to the Planning Regulation 2017 to
strengthen the protection of koala habitat in South East Queensland (i.e. koala district A).
More information on these planning controls can be found here:
https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.
As a high-level summary, the koala habitat planning controls make:
• development that involves interfering with koala habitat (defined below) in an area that is both a koala priority area
and a koala habitat area, prohibited development (i.e. development for which a development application cannot be
made);
• development that involves interfering with koala habitat (defined below) in an area that is a koala habitat area but is
not a koala priority area, assessable development (i.e. development for which development approval is required); and
• development that is for extractive industries where the development involves interfering with koala habitat (defined
below) in an area that is both a koala habitat area and a key resource area, assessable development (i.e. development
for which development approval is required).
Interfering with koala habitat means:
1) Removing, cutting down, ringbarking, pushing over, poisoning or destroying in anyway, including by burning,
flooding or draining native vegetation in a koala habitat area; but
2) Does not include destroying standing vegetation by stock or lopping a tree.
However, these planning controls do not apply if the development is exempted development as defined in Schedule 24 of the
Planning Regulation 2017. More information on exempted development can be found here:
https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.
There are also assessment benchmarks that apply to development applications for:
- building works, operational works, material change of use or reconfiguration of a lot where:
• the local government planning scheme makes the development assessable;
• the premises includes an area that is both a koala priority area and a koala habitat area; and
• the development does not involve interfering with koala habitat (defined above); and
- development in identified koala broad-hectare areas.
The Guideline - Assessment Benchmarks in relation to Koala Habitat in South East Queensland assessment benchmarks
outlines these assessment benchmarks, the intent of these assessment benchmarks and advice on how proposed
development may meet these assessment benchmarks.

6.3 Koala Conservation Plan clearing requirements Section 10 and 11 of the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 prescribes requirements that must be met when clearing koala habitat in koala district A and koala district B. These clearing requirements are independent to the koala habitat planning controls introduced into the Planning Regulation 2017, which means they must be complied with irrespective of any approvals or exemptions offered under other legislation. Unlike the clearing controls prescribed in the Planning Regulation 2017 that are to protect koala habitat, the clearing requirements prescribed in the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 are in place to prevent the injury or death of koalas when koala habitat is being cleared. 6.4 Contact information for DES For further information on the koala protection framework: Phone 13 QGOV (13 74 68) Email [email protected] Visit https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping 7.
