      The action of clearing Endangered RE is UNLIKELY to have a SRI on regulated vegetation, IF mitigation is
           undertaken through rehabilitation works on Lot 77 (0.21ha is offset and rehabilitated to RE 12.5.3)
 REGULATED VEGETATION- ‘Essential Habitat (EH)’
 An action is LIKELY to have an SRI on ‘Essential Habitat’ if the action will result in:

 The action of clearing 1.02ha of EH is UNLIKELY to have an SRI on regulated vegetation as the clearing does not

Under section 3.5.1 of Significant Residual Impact Guideline (DSDIP, 2014), Wildlife habitat
criteria for the site is detailed, and the site assessment against this criteria is summarised in
Table 5.
