              (vii)    A GIS shapefile of the area to be cleared.
              (viii)   A GIS shapefile (map) of the different habitat types identified for the clearing impact area and the GPS data showing
                       the on­ground surveys undertaken.
              (ix)     The lists compiled during desktop assessment of habitat types and EVNT plants that may occur in these habitat
                       types.
              (x)      The flora survey method selected and justification that the method was appropriately comprehensive considering the
                       lists compiled during desktop assessment.
              (xi)     A detailed map or plan of the area, showing the habitat types, the location of EVNT plants and possible EVNT plants
                       found.
              (xii)    Details from EVNT population/plot surveys for each EVNT plant and possible EVNT plant found.
              (xiii)   A description of all possible EVNT plants found, including their supporting habitat.
              (xiv)    Justification of the timing of the flora survey and detail of any limitations associated with the timing of the survey
              (xv)     Justification for any alternative plot size used.
              (xvi)    Dates any clearing is proposed to occur.

        (h)   Flora Survey that is not Protected Plants must include:
              (i)      A detailed list of all flora species (terrestrial and aquatic) and abundances of flora species for each regional
                       ecosystem, encompassing structure and species composition, nature and extent of non­native plants, health and
                       ecological condition, extrinsic values, etc;
              (ii)     List of target species (EVNT, Threatened and Significant) which have a potential to utilise the site;
              (iii)    Identification description and mapping of vegetation associations / Regional Ecosystems currently occurring on the
                       site. The conservation status of regional ecosystems acknowledged by the current Queensland Herbarium should
                       be noted. The map should also indicate the locations of waterways and wetlands, including artificial wetlands or
                       wetlands that may have been modified;
              (iv)     Description of the structural and spatial floral diversity;
              (v)      A description of the level and extent of weed infestation and/or disturbances; and
              (vi)     An assessment of the extrinsic values. This may include proximity of site to any bio­regional or statewide corridors.
              (vii)    An assessment of the biodiversity significance (State, Regional, Local) in accordance with the SEQ Biodiversity
                       Planning Assessment and detail the information that derived the conclusion; and
              (viii)   Assessment against the Noosa Plan Biodiversity Overlay Code.


 SC6.4.8               Fauna Assessment

 (1)    The purpose of a fauna assessment is to document the fauna species and assemblages of the site.
 (2)    The methodology for undertaking a vegetation community assessment is as follows:
 (3)    Desktop Assessment
        (a)   Prior to undertaking fauna survey work, a comprehensive desktop assessment should be undertaken. This will comprise a
              review of the following:
              (i)      Commonwealth Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPAC) Online
                       Protected Matters Search Tool;
              (ii)     (ii) Queensland Government WildNET database and/or Biomaps;
              (iii)    (iii) Queensland Herbarium Herbrecs database;
              (iv)     (iv) Atlas of Living Australia;
              (v)      Regulated Vegetation and High­value Regrowth Vegetation mapping and associated Essential Habitat and Essential
                       Regrowth Habitat mapping
              (vi)     All other relevant information relating to the subject site and the survey will also be reviewed, where available,
                       including the results of previous ecological surveys of the subject site or surrounds, aerial photography and relevant
                       legislation and planning documentation.

        (b)   Species listed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and/or the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation
              Act 1999 should be clearly stated within the report. Further, any fauna species listed as Regionally or Locally Significant in
              the “Fauna and its Associated Biodiversity Value in Noosa Shire” should be referenced.
