Rev Fauna Flora Assessment

                                                                          Native Foresters



Geology on site is coastal alluvium associated with recent Quaternary alluvial systems
(Land Zone 3). The vegetation is considered non-remnant with some scattered large
Eucalypts and Melaleuca wetland / Gahnia sedgeland areas that provide habitat for the
Endangered Swamp Crayfish (Tenuibranchiurus glypticus).

The proposed extension lies within an Environmental Protection Area on the Noosa
Council Biodiversity Overlay, although the mapping is partially incorrect as it does not
reflect previous developments for Cartwright South buildings.

The survey area adjoins a remnant palustrine wetland and dam to the east (Lot 270
MCH4647) which drains into a tributary to Wooroi Creek and to the north-east, lies
Lomandra Park. To the west, the site adjoins the Carramar Noosa Care Centre, with
residential lots to the north and Tewantin National Park to the south across the Cooroy
Noosa Road.
