1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background
RPS Australia East Pty Ltd (RPS) was commissioned to undertake a Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus)
assessment at 1 George St Tewantin, QLD (Lot 1 on RP220516). This assessment is required for the
purpose of Reconfiguring a Lot, as outlined in pre-lodgement advice provided by Noosa Council on 1 July
2014.
1.2 Site Description
The site covers an area of approximately 3.5 ha, and is bounded by George Street and urban development
to the north, rural residential development to the east and south, and Wooroi Creek reserve to the west. A
small tributary of Wooroi Creek runs west to east through the centre of the site (Figure 1).
There is an existing house located in the northern portion of the site that is surrounded by a cleared, non-
remnant area. Although much of the central portion of the site is remnant, it is heavily disturbed with the
ground-storey and mid-storey vegetation completely cleared and a high level of weed invasion. Vegetation in
the southern portion of the site, including the waterway and area south of the waterway, is remnant and
intact.
The site is located in the Noosa Local Government Area. The area immediately surrounding the house is
zoned as Detached Housing, while the remainder of the site is zoned as Rural Settlement.
1.3 Scope of Works
The aim of this assessment is to identify the value of the site for supporting Koalas. In particular, this
assessment focuses on the northern portion of the site (i.e. ‘assessment area’) as this is the area proposed
for development (Figure 1). The specific scope of works included the following:
Provide a description of vegetation occurring within the assessment area;
Identify the value of this vegetation for supporting Koalas; and
Identify evidence for Koala occurrence.
1.4 Project Limitations
This report provides a brief overview of the likely value of the assessment area for supporting Koalas. The
level of detail is not sufficient for providing detailed population information, such as detailed estimates of
Koala population size or information on population structure. This report also does not provide an
assessment of the legal requirements (i.e. under Commonwealth or State legislation) of clearing Koala
habitat, nor does it provide an impact assessment.

2.0 Methodology
2.1 Desktop Assessment
A desktop assessment was undertaken to gather information on previous Koala sightings and Koala habitat
in the area. The following databases, documents and maps were reviewed:
EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool (DoE, 2014a) (Appendix 1);
Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP) Wildlife Online records (DEHP, 2014a)
(Appendix 2);
DEHP Koala Records, 1997-2013 (DEHP, 2013);
DEHP South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Policy and State Planning Regulatory
Provision mapping (DEHP, 2014b) (Appendix 3);
Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) Regulated Vegetation Management and
Supporting Map (DNRM, 2014) (Appendix 4); and
Aerial photography.
2.2 Field Survey
The field survey was undertaken by an RPS ecologist on 19 August 2014. The site assessment involved a
habitat assessment and Koala survey within the assessment area, as described below.
2.2.1 Habitat Assessment
A habitat assessment was undertaken to record the following:
Floristic structure, composition and extent of vegetation;
Canopy tree composition;
Percentage of canopy cover for each of the above species;
Percentage of vegetative cover, leaf litter and bare ground;
Distance to surface water; and
Evidence of dogs in the area.
2.2.2 Koala Survey
A Koala survey was undertaken to identify evidence for Koalas using the site. This involved searching the
majority of Koala habitat trees in the assessment area (approximately 25 trees surveyed in total) for the
presence of a Koala or evidence for Koala occurrence (i.e. Koala scratch marks or scats). Each tree was
systematically searched for approximately two minutes.
All Koala scats were collected and sent to Barbara Triggs (hair and scat specialist) for confirmation.

3.0 Results
3.1 Desktop Assessment
The desktop assessment indicated that Koalas have potential to occur within a 5 km radius of the site, but
that the vegetation is unlikely to be suitable for supporting this species. Results of the desktop assessment
area detailed below.
3.1.1 Previous Records
Results of the EPBC Protected Matters Search Tool (Appendix 1) and DEHP Wildlife Online records
(Appendix 2) indicate that Koalas have potential to occur within a 5 km buffer of the site. The closest record
of a Koala, as determined from Wildlife Online database records of South East Queensland obtained
between 1997 and 2013, is approximately 4.9 km to the southeast, in vegetation north of the Noosa
Aerodrome (DEHP, 2013).
3.1.2 Koala Habitat
3.1.2.1 Regional Ecosystem Mapping
The assessment area is mapped by DNRM as being Category X area, which is defined as vegetation not
regulated under the Vegetation Management act 1999 (VM Act) (i.e. non-remnant). The northern, eastern
and southern portions of the site (adjacent to the assessment area) are mapped as being Category B area,
which is defined as non-remnant vegetation.
Remnant areas within the site are mapped as comprising Regional Ecosystem (RE) 12.1.1 and/or RE12.1.3
(Appendix 4). These REs are described in Table 2.
Neither RE 12.1.1 or 12.1.3 is suitable for supporting Koalas.
Table 1: DNRM Mapped Regional Ecosystems
Regional
VM Act Status Description
Ecosystem
12.1.1 Of Concern Casuarina glauca woodland on margins of marine clay plains
Mangrove shrubland to low closed forest on marine clay pains and
12.1.3 Least Concern
estuaries
3.1.2.2 Essential Habitat Mapping
No ‘Essential Habitat’ is mapped for Koalas on the site (Appendix 4).
3.1.2.3 Koala Habitat Value Mapping
The DEHP State Planning Policy 2/10: Koala Conservation in South East Queensland (SPP) mapping
identifies the site as being ‘generally not suitable’ for Koalas.
3.2 Field Assessment
The field assessment indicated that Koalas are using the site and that feed tree species (i.e. suitable
foraging habitat) are present. Results of the field survey are discussed below.

3.2.1 Evidence for Koala Occurrence
Although no Koalas were directly sighted during the survey, several trees supported indirect evidence for
their occurrence. As shown in Figure 1, five trees from within the assessment area supported either Koala
scratch marks on their trunks or scats within 1 m of their base. All of these trees were identified to be
Queensland Blue Gums (Eucalyptus tereticornis), which is a primary Koala feed tree species (EPA, 2006b).
A quick survey of three Queensland Blue Gums located outside of the site’s western boundary revealed that
these trees also supported evidence for Koala occurrence.
3.2.2 Site Verified Vegetation
Site-verification of the DEHP mapping identified it to be incorrect. The assessment area, the majority of
which was mapped as being non-remnant (Section 3.1.2.1), was found to be remnant in some areas despite
the complete removal of understorey and mid-storey vegetation. This is because the canopy vegetation is
greater than 70% of the height and 50% of the cover relative to the undisturbed vegetation community, and
consists of characteristic species. These species are consistent with RE 12.2.7, which is described as
Melaleuca quinquenervia open forest on sand plains.
3.2.3 Koala Feed Tree Species
The composition of canopy species and % of the total canopy cover within the assessment area is presented
in Table 2. Broad-leaved Paperbark contributed to about 50% of the total canopy cover. This species is
identified by EPA (2006) to be a secondary (or minor) Koala food tree species.
The only primary (or major) food tree species identified within the assessment area was Queensland Blue
Gum (Eucalyptus tereticornis), which contributed to about 3% of the total canopy cover. Five Queensland
Blue Gum trees were surveyed within this assessment area, all of which supported evidence of Koala
occurrence (Figure 1).
Approximately 35 % of the total canopy cover was made up of Pink Bloodwood (Corymbia intermedia) and
Brushbox (Lophostemon confertus). Although not recognised by EPA (2006) to be primary or secondary food
tree species, these species are identified to be feed trees species in the Moreton Bay region (MBCC, 2010).
The remaining 5% of total canopy cover was made up of non-Koala feed tree species.

4.0 Discussion
Although the desktop assessment indicated vegetation at the site is unlikely to be suitable for Koalas, the
field survey confirmed that this species is utilising the assessment area and that there is foraging habitat (i.e.
feed tree species) present.
The only tree species identified to have been used by Koalas was Queensland Blue Gum, which is a
recognised primary feed tree species (EPA, 2006). Although scratch marks were unable to be observed on
the other tree species (i.e. because of rough bark), the absence of scats suggests that Queensland Blue
Gums are being preferentially selected.
The assessment area is disturbed due to removal of the shrub and mid-storey vegetation layers, which
means little protection is offered to Koalas moving between trees. Although there was no evidence of dogs
observed during the survey, dogs are likely to occur in the area and may present a threat as the site is not
currently fenced.
The site is connected to large expanses of remnant vegetation likely to be important for supporting Koala
populations. For example, remnant vegetation along Wooroi Creek is contained within the Wooroi Creek
reserve, which connects to other significant habitat areas such as the Harry Springs Conservation Park. This
corridor extends northwards to Lake Cooribah and beyond to the Great Sandy National Park, as well as
westwards through the Tewantin State Forest and Lake Macdonald areas.
Although a small habitat corridor traverses the site, connecting vegetation associated with Wooroi Creek to
Douglas Park, this corridor is unlikely to be significant due to high levels of surrounding development. The
assessment area is also not important for contributing to this corridor provided that remnant vegetation
occurring along and south of the waterway is retained.
Koala habitat within the assessment area is probably of moderate value for this species. Although the
assessment area supports Koala feed tree species and evidence for Koala occurrence, it is disturbed and is
unlikely to provide long-term breeding or foraging habitat for this species. It is also unlikely to be important for
facilitating movements between significant patches of habitat.

Caveat
The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at
the end of the report.
This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining
obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped
locations of World Heritage and Register of National Estate properties, Wetlands of International
Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species
and listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this
stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions.
Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general
guide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the
data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to consider
the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.
For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from
recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened
ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data
are used to produce indicative distribution maps.
For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plans
and detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicated
under 'type of presence'. For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collated
from government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimatic
distribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps are
based solely on expert knowledge.
Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:
- migratory and
- marine
The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports
produced from this database:
- threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants
- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed
- some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area
- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers
The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:
- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites
- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent
Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

Vegetation Management Act 1999 - Extract from the essential habitat database
Essential habitat is required for assessment under the:
• State Development Assessment Provisions - Module 8: Native vegetation clearing which sets out the matters of interest to the state for development assessment under the Sustainable Planning
Act 2009; and
• Self-assessable vegetation clearing codes made under the Vegetation Management Act 1999
Essential habitat for one or more of the following species is found on and within 1.1 km of the identified subject lot/s or on and within 2.2 km of an identified coordinate on the accompanying essential habitat
map.
This report identifies essential habitat in Category A, B and Category C areas.
The numeric labels on the essential habitat map can be cross referenced with the database below to determine which essential habitat factors might exist for a particular species.
Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records.
The Department of Natural Resources and Mines website (http://www.dnrm.qld.gov.au) has more information on how the layer is applied under the State Development Assessment Provisions - Module 8:
Native vegetation clearing and the Vegetation Management Act 1999.
Regional ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated.
Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means a category A area, a category B area or category C area shown on the regulated vegetation management map-
1) (a) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat
database; or
2) (b) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.
Essential habitat identifies endangered or vulnerable native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1994.
