Attachment 7A - Impact Assessment Report

                                                                                                  Native Foresters

13:54:23 Making a local copy of the impact site

13:54:23 Preparing remnant cover layer for analysis

13:54:24 Created regional scale buffer of 20 kilometres

13:54:24 Created local scale buffer of 5 kilometres

13:54:34 Clipped the remnant cover to the regional buffer extent

13:54:36 Unioned the pre impact remnant layer with the impact site

13:54:41 Attributed the impact area as not RVM Cat B

13:54:41 Area of RVM Cat B clearing is 0.83 hectares

13:54:41 SQL selection used is "RVM_CAT" = 'B' and "Cover" = 'Not RVM Cat B' on shapefile

E:\GIS\GISpro\Noosa Landfill\LFC Tool OUTPUT\main_output\clip_remcover_post.shp




13:54:45 Categorised the cover attributes in clip_remcover_pre.shp ready for raster conversion

13:54:49 Converted clip_remcover_pre.shp to raster




13:54:53 Categorised the cover attributes in clip_remcover_post.shp ready for raster conversion

13:54:58 Converted clip_remcover_post.shp to raster




13:54:58 Run Landscape fragmentation analysis on the pre impact regional landscape
