The subject site also triggers various levels of development constraint under the Nature Conservation
(Koala) Conservation Plan 2006 and Management Program 2006-2016 (Figure 3). Lot 6 RP901384 falls
within the KCA: Urban Koala Area. The northern part of Lot 1 SP177650 is classified as Koala
Sustainability Area. The southern part of Lot 1 SP177650, which is located outside of the development
area, is classified as Koala Conservation Area. The remainder of the area proposed for development is
identified as Urban Koala Area.

The subject site is mapped by the department of Natural Resources and Water (NRW) as containing a
mix of dominant “Of Concern” Remnant Vegetation and “not of concern” vegetation. The RE mapping
is discussed in chapter 2.2 of this report. The mapping indicates that the vegetation provides essential
habitat for a range of species listed under the Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation.


1.3       Data Bases Consulted

In order to ascertain the range of species that could potentially occur on the site, should suitable habitat
be identified, a review of the Wildnet (Queensland Environmental Protection Agency) and the Protected
                    1
Matters Databases (Commonwealth Department of Environment and Heritage) indicate that a range of
state and nationally significant species (and/or their habitats) potentially occur in this locality. Further
details are provided in Appendices A & B respectively.
