they burrow into the substrate in coastal wallum swamps and shallow drainage channels.The
water near the stormwater outlet had a milky appearance further hindering visual detection of
surface activity of Swamp Crayfish.

3.1.1 Regulated Vegetation Management map

The Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) presents the Regulated Vegetation
Management Mapping (RVMM) as gazetted under the Vegetation Management Act (1999)
(VMA). Analysis of RVMM shows that the survey area does not contain mapped Regulated
Vegetation.

3.1.2 Regional Ecosystem mapping
DNRM presents a Vegetation Management Supporting map which shows the location of Regional
Ecosystems (RE) as gazetted under the VMA (1999). Analysis of this map shows that the
vegetation in the Carramar site is considered non-remnant.

3.1.3 Essential Habitat designation
Essential Habitat is a vegetation ecotype that is considered by DES to form potential habitat for a
species that is listed as Endangered, Vulnerable, Rare or Near Threatened under Schedules 2-5
of the Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation (2006). Essential Habitat mapping is provided in
conjunction with Regulated Vegetation Management mapping (DNRM 2016) as gazetted under
the VMA (1999). Vegetation at Carramar s not designated Essential Habitat.

3.1.4 WildNET search

DES has compiled a database of wildlife sightings and listings for all flora and fauna species within
a designated area. A database search was conducted for all listed species that have been
identified within one kilometre of the survey area. Three fauna species were listed on WildNET
as shown in Table 1.

3.1.5 EPBC Protected Matters

A report was generated using the EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool. It noted that there is
potential for 36 Threatened Species and 17 Migratory Species to occur within one kilometre of
