3.8       EPBC PROTECTED MATTERS SEARCH
The EPBC Act Protected Matters Search uses bio-climatic modelling to predict where protected matters
may be present in an area and therefore does not necessarily indicate the actual recorded presence of
protected matters. A search of the Protected Matters database was undertaken prior to the field
assessment, using a 2km search radius around a centre point within the site. The database returned
results for the following Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) which have the potential
to be present within 2km of the site:
         The Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia Threatened Ecological Community (critically
          endangered)
         19 threatened flora species
         30 threatened fauna species
         Migratory bird species
