4.2.3 Amphibians

The north eastern portion of the site encompasses part of the site consistent with Regional
Ecosystem 12.2.15 which could provide habitat for some species of amphibian. No frogs
were recorded during the survey, but this may be attributed to the time and prevailing
weather conditions during the site inspection. Wildnet database search results have been
used to evaluate the potential for species listed in the search to occur on site or within the
immediate vicinity (given habitats present) and are indicated in Table 7.

Crinia parinsignifera

Beeping Froglet

Lives in woodland
areas around the edges
of dams and swamps.

Great Brown Broodfrog

Lives in forests and
heathlands. It builds
burrows in damp areas
under rocks, logs and

Pseudophryne raveni

Copper Backed Broodfrog

This frog lives in
sclerophyll forests and
marshy areas, where it
hides under logs and

Cane Toad

 

 

The Cane Toad is
found in many habitats
including forests,
woodlands, grasslands,
beach dunes, suburban
gardens and other
cleared areas. It is a
very adaptable species
that quickly out
numbers other native
animals when it
colonises new areas
(Frogs Australia
Network, 2005) .
