Having regard to the Referral Agency Response (Vegetation) Plan (RARP2005/101216), there is an area
of land to the southeast (red outline), which forms part of the existing development area within Permit
A (refer Figure 2). This land has not been included within the VMP under the current Referral Agency
Response (2503-45382 SRA), which ought to be the case. This area of land (as outlined) has been
cleared previously and currently forms part of the existing operational development area.

Development Approval 132005.638.03

Condition 1 of the referral agency response, dated 15 January 2024 (SARA Reference: 2311-37804
SRA) states:

Clearing of vegetation must:
   (a) only occur within Area A (Part A1) as shown on the attached:
       i.   Vegetation Management Plan, prepared by Queensland Government, reference VMP 2311-
            37804 SRA, Sheet 1 of 1, version 1; and
      ii.   not exceed 0.81 hectares.

An extract of the VMP (Part A1) is provided below (Figure 3).

The approval provides for the removal of the vegetation shown hatched, which is required for the
expansion of the RRA under the current development approval (132005.638.03). The extent of
vegetation clearing allowed is not consistent with the VMP provided under the recent Referral Agency
Response (SARA ref: 2503-45382 SRA). Consequently, it is requested that the VMP be amended to be
consistent with this development approvals by excluding this portion of the land from Area B1.
