                                                      The Vegetation Management (VM) Report is included in Appendix H. The report identified the following mapped
                                                      as occurring in the works impact area:
                                                          i)      Regulated Vegetation Management Map
                                                                       • Category X area (non-remnant vegetation)
                                                                       • RE 12.5.3 Eucalyptus racemosa subsp. racemosa woodland on remnant Tertiary surfaces
                  Regulated Vegetation
                                                           ii) Protected plants flora survey trigger map (Appendix I)
                                                                   • High risk area

                                                     Field verification notes
                                                     Field verification suggests the vegetation includes high value regrowth with scattered remnant trees. Where field
                                                     verification differs from mapped vegetation, refer to section 4.2.
                                                     The ground-truthed vegetation across both parcels of Site A does not contain any mapped Essential Habitat for
                                                     any listed fauna species as shown on the Vegetation Management Supporting Map. Refer to Appendix H.

                  Essential Habitat
                                                     The eucalypt and Melaleuca woodland should be mapped as Essential habitat for Koala and sections with
                                                     Allocasuarina/Casuarina species should be considered to be Essential habitat for Glossy Black-Cockatoo
                                                     (Calyptorhynchus lathamii)
                                                     Two threatened fauna species and one threatened flora species have been recorded since 1980 within a 1km

                                                     Site A lies within a Koala Priority Area.
                                                     Koala habitat is not mapped as occurring as shown in Appendix J.
                  Koala Habitat                      Field verification notes
                                                     The eucalypt and Melaleuca woodland should be mapped as locally refined Koala habitat as it supports Koala
                                                     habitation and dispersal.
                  Coastal Management                 The works impact area is not mapped as a Coastal Management District.

                                                     Site A does not contain mapped waterways or wetlands of ecological significance (Refer to Appendix G).
