                                             is essential for the conservation of a viable population in the wild in SEQ.

                                             Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) that identifies ecosystems which require
                                             access to groundwater on a permanent or intermittent basis to meet all or
                                             some of their water requirements so as to maintain their communities of
                                             plants and animals, ecological processes and ecosystem services.
