4.2.4 Vegetation in the Protected Plant 100 metre buffer

2.6ha of vegetation within the 100m buffer or CIA is classed as remnant or contains suitable
vegetation and is subject to the provisions of the flora survey (Appendix H). The 100m buffer
provides protection from indirect impacts such as changes to light penetration, hydrology or soil
fertility that may influence the vegetation community and any threatened flora species that occur
within the IA.

The 100m buffer covers areas of riparian rainforest mapped as RE 12.3.1 along the length of
Skyring Creek as shown in Figure 1.

No threatened flora species were located during the timed meander surveys in the 100m buffer.
The GPS location of the timed meander flora surveys, the results of the surveys and the target
flora species are summarised in Table 4.
