e “Not of Concern Regional Ecosystem” means a regional ecosystem that is
prescribed under a regulation and has either more than 30% of its pre-clearing
extent remaining and the remnant vegetation remaining is more than 10,000 ha;

e “Of Concem Regional Ecosystem” means a regional ecosystem that is prescribed
under a regulation and has either:

(a) 10% to 30% of its pre-clearing extent remaining; or
(b) more than 30% of its pre-clearing extent remaining and the remnant vegetation
remaining is less than 10,000 ha

e “Endangered Regional Ecosystem” means a regional ecosystem that is prescribed
under a regulation and has either:

(a) less than 10% of its pre-clearing extent remaining; or
(b) 10% to 30% of its pre-clearing extent remaining and the remnant vegetation
remaining is less than 10,000 ha

NRW (2008) specifically note the following exemptions applicable to building a single
dwelling:
(b) to the extent necessary, for building on a lot a single residence, and any
reasonably associated building or structure, if the building of the residence:
i. is building work for which a development permit for a building
development application has been issued; or
ii. is building work mentioned in part 2, table 1, item 1; or
iii. is development to which chapter 5, part 6 applies.

2.2.1.2 Natural Resources, Mines and Water Mapping

A heterogeneous polygon of the ‘Not of Concern’ Regional Ecosystems 12.2.5 and 12.2.15
have been mapped covering approximately 65% of the site at a scale of 1:100,000 (See
Table 2 for description and Appendix B for location on site).

Regional Status Description
Ecosystem
12.2.5 Not of Concern Open-forest to low closed forest. Species can include Corymbia intermedia,

C. tessellaris, Banksia integrifolia subsp. integrifolla, B. aemula, Acacia
spp., Lophostemon confertus, Callitris columeliaris, Livistona spp. and
Endiandra sieberi. Melaleuca quinquenervia in swales. Understorey
generally shrubby and can include vine forest species. Occurs on
Quatemary coastal dunes and beaches and sandy banks of coastal
streams. .

Major vegetation communities include: 12.2.5a: Palustrine wetland (e.g.
vegetated swamp). Swales dominated by Melaleuca quinquenervia often
with Livistona spp.. Occurs on Quaternary coastal dune swales.

 

 

12.2.15 Not of Concem Coastal sedgeland with Baumea spp., Juncus spp. Lepironia articulata,
Gahnia spp. and Eleocharis spp. and associated water bodies. Occurs on
Quaternary coastal dunes and beaches. Low part of coastal landscape
where water collects from both overland flow and infiltration from adjoining
sand dunes.

Major vegetation communities include:

12.2.15a: Lacustrine wetland (e.g. take). Associated permanent water
