State and Local Government Ecological Assessment Noosa Civic Expansion 1 Introduction 1.1 Study Area Cardno was commissioned to undertake a technical assessment and report on the ecological values of the Noosa Civic site to accompany a development application (DA). Specifically the study focussed on values regarded of significance under State laws and/or local government instruments that could potentially be impacted by the clearing, construction and proposed use of the extension of Noosa Civic. Cardno’s opinions as contained in this report are given to the best of our professional knowledge at this time and are independently formulated based on best practice methodology and expertise in the environmental field (refer to CV’s in Appendix A). The proposed expansion of Noosa Civic is located at 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The Study Area for the purpose of the technical assessment and reporting incorporates areas identified as the disturbance footprint and the balance of Lot 3 on SP246584 (Figure 1). 1.2 Project Description The proposed development is an extension of Noosa Civic. The Study Area is within Noosa Shire local government area and the applicable Planning Scheme is the Noosa Plan 2006. 1.3 Study Aims and Objectives The aim of this study is to identify and describe the existing terrestrial environment (flora and fauna) of the Study Area with regard to ecological values at a Local and State level. Impact and mitigation to identified values are also described. QIC Noosa Civic Pty Ltd Version 1 5 December 2014 J13041_Ecological Assessment State Local_V1.docx Commercial in Confidence Page 2

2 Methodology
The assessment is largely consistent with Noosa Planning Scheme Policy 18 – Ecological Guidelines. To
assist in identifying likely issues or constraints (such as regional ecosystems and flora species that could be
encountered) and those that would need to be targeted during field work, a search of relevant literature and
databases was undertaken prior to field investigations.
Detailed surveys were undertaken to determine the ecological values of the Study Area, including the
presence or absence of Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation 2006 (NC(W)R) listed species and
regulated vegetation that had potential to occur in or use the habitats of the Study Area. The Queensland
Government's Herbrecs and Wildnet databases and the Queensland Museum’s database were assessed to
assist in predictive analysis of species distribution. Regional ecosystem mapping (regulated vegetation
management map and vegetation management supporting map) was also reviewed.
Flora and fauna field surveys were conducted over a one-week period, during April - May 2013 and an
additional one day survey in September 2014. The surveys were undertaken by two ecologists at any one
time (CV’s of contributing ecologists are provided in Appendix A).
Duplicate seasonal surveys were not undertaken (i.e. trapping was only undertaken in one season, being the
‘dry season’). While the field work fell outside of the optimal survey period for some species, the overall
approach to the survey was regarded as adequate because:
> the Study Area is relatively small in area thereby enabling good site coverage;
> the survey effort ran over a period of a week and included an additional day during rain; and
> the survey accounted for the predicted presence of species through habitat assessment.

The literature and databases identified a number of species of conservation significance that may occur
within the Study Area. Based on a review of the habitat requirements of species, the likelihood that a
species will utilise the habitat of the Study Area was categorised according to the following definitions:
> Known - species positively recorded by this survey or other survey by qualified ecologists during past 30
years;
> Likely - based on the presence of suitable habitat and proximate records;
> Possible - suitable habitat present for the species, but no recent records from the Study Area or
proximate areas;
> Unlikely - based on a lack of suitable habitat and lack of proximate records; and
> Absence known or suspected: suitable habitat does not occur in the Study Area and/or species known
distribution is well separated from the Study Area.
An index of confidence is applied to the assessment being:
> High – personal observations or records from other reputable sources (for example, 90% certainty);
> Medium – information from sources of reasonable/mixed reliability (location accuracy/taxa identification)
(for example, 70% certainty); and
> Low – information from sources of unknown reliability (for example, 50% certainty).
Several databases and reports were reviewed to identify species scheduled under the NC(W)R that are
known to occur within or within the vicinity of the project area. Specifically these included:
> Herbrecs (Queensland Herbarium, 2012b). This is the State wide Queensland Herbarium database of all
specimens held in their collection along with a location. Although some records have a low spatial
precision (generally older records predating GPS technology) the dataset for a defined location provides
assistance as to species potentially encountered during field work including threatened species;
> Wildnet (DEHP, 2014). This database incorporates information from a number of datasets held by the
Queensland State Government. The reliability of some of the data is variable depending on the original
source (e.g. Herbrecs data is more reliable than data collected from community based programs); and
> Queensland Museum Database (Queensland Museum, 2012). The Queensland Museum Zoological
Database contains verified point records across Queensland and Indo-west Pacific. The database was
searched for a 5km area and returned a number of known records of scheduled species around the study
area (Appendix E). This database also provides known records of common fauna species on and
around the Study Area.
Appendix I includes a summary of all species scheduled under the NC(W)R or the EPBC Act that were
identified as part of this literature/database review. For each species an assessment is made about its likely
use of the Study Area based on its known habitat preferences. Appendix I identifies those species that are
known, likely, possible or unlikely to utilise prevailing habitats. Species that were known or predicted to be
absent were excluded from further analysis. Those that were determined to be known, likely or possible
were targeted during Study Area surveys.

While these databases identify the potential for particular threatened species to occur within the Study Area,
they do not rule out the potential for other species to occur.
2.1.2 Vegetation Mapping
2.1.2.1 Scale
Vegetation communities were delineated at a property based scale. For the purpose of considering remnant
regional ecosystems, mapping was considered at a scale of the 1:25,000, consistent with the finest scale of
mapping prepared by the Queensland Herbarium for coastal areas (Neldner et. al., 2012). At this scale the
minimum mappable standalone polygon size is 1ha.
2.1.2.2 Remnant Regional Ecosystems
The mapping of vegetation categories across the Study Area was based on the regional ecosystem
framework (Sattler & Williams, 1999). Regional ecosystems are coded with a three-part number:
> the first number is the bioregion in which the Study Area occurs. In some instances the combination of
vegetation and geology typical of a certain bioregion may occur outside the bioregional boundary. Study
Area vegetation in this case is within the “Southeast Queensland” and is therefore numbered “12”;
> the second number is the geomorphic category or “Land Zone” that the ecosystem falls within (e.g. all
Regional Ecosystems occurring on “Hills and lowlands on metamorphosed sedimentary rocks are Land
Zone ‘11’); and
> the third number is the ecosystem number, and relates to the dominant vegetation.
2.1.2.3 Land Zones
Pre-clearing Regional Ecosystem mapping ver. 8.0 (DSITIA, 2014) indicates the presence of land zones 9-
10 and 3 in the Study Area:
> Landzone 3: Recent Quaternary alluvial systems, including closed depressions, paleo-estuarine deposits
currently under freshwater influence, inland lakes and associated wave built lunettes. Excludes colluvial
deposits such as talus slopes and pediments. Includes a diverse range of soils, predominantly Vertosols
and Sodosols; also with Dermosols, Kurosols, Chromosols, Kandosols, Tenosols, Rudosols and
Hydrosols; and Organosols in high rainfall areas.
> Landzone 9: Fine grained sedimentary rocks, generally with little or no deformation and usually forming
undulating landscapes. Siltstones, mudstones, shales, calcareous sediments, and labile sandstones are
QIC Noosa Civic Pty Ltd Version 1 5 December 2014
J13041_Ecological Assessment State Local_V1.docx Commercial in Confidence Page 6

State and Local Government Ecological Assessment
Noosa Civic Expansion
typical rock types although minor interbedded volcanics may occur. Includes a diverse range of fine
textured soils of moderate to high fertility, predominantly Vertosols, Sodosols, and Chromosols; and
> Landzone 10: Medium to coarse grained sedimentary rocks, with little or no deformation, forming
plateaus, benches and scarps. Includes siliceous (quartzose) sandstones, conglomerates and minor
interbedded volcanics, and springs associated with these rocks. Excludes overlying Cainozoic sand
deposits (land zone 5). Soils are predominantly shallow Rudosols and Tenosols of low fertility, but include
sandy surfaced Kandosols, Kurosols, Sodosols and Chromosols.
Land zones were assessed during the field work through review of surface material only.
2.1.2.4 Aerial Photograph Analysis and Survey Sites
Interpretation of aerial photography allowed the establishment of preliminary vegetation line work and
polygon attribution directly in a GIS application (MapInfo). Review of imagery also facilitated the delineation
of land zones. The available remnant regional ecosystem mapping was used to anticipate those regional
ecosystems present.
Historical aerial photography from 1958, 1974, 1979, 1993 and 2002 were reviewed to ascertain areas that
had been historically cleared. While this imagery was registered in GIS, it was not orthorectified, which
consequently reduces its spatial accuracy. Where locations required more detailed consideration,
registration points were selected proximate to the target area in order to reduce errors in registration.
The field work that followed targeted the following:
> a representative range of habitats within the Study Area;
> areas that could not be adequately categorised through air photo interpretation; and
> areas that were considered highly likely to provide habitat for threatened plant species as determined
through database analysis and known habitat preferences.
Additional opportunistic survey points were recorded during the field survey.
Field surveys were undertaken in March and April, 2013 and September 2014. Quaternary Study Areas
were also recorded during the fauna assessments (Figure 2 shows location of all flora data investigation
points).
2.1.2.5 Reference Sites
Reference sites were established in less disturbed vegetation communities within or in locations proximate to
the Study Area. These were identified as those areas currently mapped as remnant by the Queensland
Herbarium (Ver. 6.1, 2009) and/or were consistently present in aerial imagery since 1973. Preference was
given to utilising sites already mapped by the Queensland Herbarium as a particular regional ecosystem.
Data collected from secondary plots at reference sites allowed an assessment of the remnant/non-remnant
status of a specific regional ecosystem against vegetation height, cover and floristics.
The location of 2 reference sites is presented in Figure 3.
2.1.3 Assessment of Floristics
State significant species are defined as those listed as Endangered, Vulnerable or Near Threatened under
the NC(W)R. Reference to lists derived from Herbrecs and Wildnet searches were assessed to assist in
predictive analysis of species distribution.
Species were targeted on the basis of review of preferred habitat types and correlation of this with habitats
mapped and encountered in the field. The Study Area was slowly traversed for the purposes of an ‘educated
walk’ (Garrard et. al., 2008) and searched for the presence of threatened species identified by data searches
for which habitat potentially occurred on the Study Area. Particular attention was given to ecotones, moister
areas and patches where rainforest species occurred.
Flora species were recorded throughout the Study Area and as part of secondary and quaternary site
assessments.

2.1.4 Assessment of Fauna
2.1.4.1 General
The fauna field investigation in line with approved permitting as follows:
> DPI Scientific User Registration 319;
> EPA Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service Scientific Purposes Permit WISP05496608; and
> Animal Ethics Approval CA 2011/07/526.
Over the duration of the survey, vegetation communities within and outside of the development footprint were
assessed for fauna diversity. A one night survey from 8-9 April 2013 (coinciding with significant rain), a full
survey period over four days (29 April-3 May 2013) and a one day survey (23 September 2014) were
undertaken to detect a range of species. The following survey techniques were used during the 2013
survey:
> Diurnal/nocturnal bird searches;
> Ground searches;
> Targeted herpetological & amphibian searches (including a wet night survey);
> 2 full transects and one extra transect (excluding Elliott traps) in the representative habitats including:
- Elliott trapping;
- Pitfall trapping;
- Funnel trapping;
- Hair funnel trapping;
> Spotlighting;
> SM2BAT bat detection;
> Camera trapping;
> She-oak ort searches;
> Koala Rapid Assessment Method (KRAM) Koala search method;
> Koala tree counts utilising the point-centred quarter method; and
> Habitat assessment.
Further, opportunistic observations of wildlife were also noted during all Study Area visits.
Figure 2 illustrates the location of targeted fauna survey sites.
2.1.4.2 Diurnal / Nocturnal Bird Survey
Dedicated bird watching was undertaken for 20 minutes along transects and various other locations
throughout the Study Area every morning at dawn chorus (equating to approximately 2.5 hours each day).
During this time, two observers walked quietly along the transect or around a roughly 2ha area (point
surveys) to detect birds present both through direct observation and through calls. Birds were also recorded
when opportunistically observed during other survey activities. Nocturnal birds were searched for as part of
spotlighting activities on Study Area (described below).
2.1.4.3 Ground Searches
Ground searches were undertaken at each transect as part of morning and afternoon survey activities. This
entailed the following:
> active searches for cryptic fauna (such as Elf Skink and Cooloola Blind Snake) were undertaken including
turning over logs, turning over rubbish piles, disturbing woodpiles, lifting loose bark on trees, investigating
hollow logs and disturbing leaf litter;
QIC Noosa Civic Pty Ltd Version 1 5 December 2014

State and Local Government Ecological Assessment Noosa Civic Expansion > tracks, scats, animal remains, movement pathways, feeding signs and any other traces of animal presence were recorded when observed. Where practical, scats and other traces were collected and sent to Barbara Triggs of Dead Finish for further analysis (see Appendix A for CV); and > trees were closely observed for scratch marks, nests, hollows to determine their value as habitat and their frequency of usage. Ground searches were not limited to transect lines and were undertaken opportunistically throughout the Study Area. 2.1.4.4 Elliott Trapping A total of 20 A-size (33cmx10cmx8cm) Elliot traps were placed every 5m along each of the 100m transects for 4 nights. 15 traps were baited with peanut butter, oat, honey and vanilla mix and 5 traps with the same mix and a salami piece. Traps were positioned in a secure sheltered position and insulated by piling leaf litter on top of the trap. Traps were checked each morning, closed and then opened each afternoon. 2.1.4.5 Pitfall Trapping and Funnel Trapping Pitfall trap lines were positioned at each transect and at one additional location. The pitfalls lines consisted of 3x 20L buckets spaced at 3-7m apart. Wildlife was guided to pitfall traps along drift netting. On either side of the drift net 2 funnel traps were also placed (i.e. a total of 4 traps per site). Cover including sticks, larger pieces of wood (that may act as floating platforms to prevent drowning) and leaf litter were placed in the bottom of each bucket. Extra dirt and leaf litter was placed in each bucket to ensure insulation in the case of an animal being caught in it. Pitfall traps were checked in the morning, midday, and evening. 2.1.4.6 Hair Tubes A total of 30 hair funnels were located in trees and on the ground along Elliott trap transects over areas on Study Area (10 funnels per transect line and additional pitfall line). The hair funnels were baited with peanut butter, honey and oat mix. Hair funnels were left in situ over the 5 days / 4 nights of the survey after which they were collected and inspected for animal hairs. Funnels containing hairs were analysed by the specialist consultant Barbara Triggs of Dead Finish. 2.1.4.7 Spotlighting Spotlighting was carried out on each night of the survey for 1 hour each night with each survey area covered over the study duration. Spotlighting also included stag watching at dusk. A total of 5 nights of spotlight survey were undertaken with 2 observers walking parts of the Study Area using head torches and a spotlight. Fauna were detected through direct sightings and via calls. 2.1.4.8 SM2BAT+ Detection Microchiropteran bat activity on Study Area was surveyed using an SM2BAT+ detection unit fitted with an Ultrasonic microphone. The SM2BAT+ unit was placed in areas close to transects and potential flyways and left to record during the night (Figure 2). The unit was retrieved and moved each morning. Recordings were sent to Greg Ford, a Toowoomba based bat echolocation and call analysis specialist, for analysis (see CV attached in Appendix A). 2.1.4.9 Camera Trap A motion-sensing camera trap was placed at locations with the best potential to yield passing fauna. The area in front of the camera was baited with the oat mix to further attract fauna. 2.1.4.10 Koala Methods KRAM The Koala Rapid Assessment Method (Woosnam-Merchez et.al., 2012) is a protocol developed for indirect detection of the Koala. In accordance with the described general protocol the study site was stratified based on vegetation community (i.e. landscape scale features) and a number of individual rapid assessment sites at each sampling location were undertaken. At each sampling location three sites along a 100m transect were assessed (at 0, 50 and 100m). In these sampling locations 10 trees were systematically selected that QIC Noosa Civic Pty Ltd Version 1 5 December 2014 J13041_Ecological Assessment State Local_V1.docx Commercial in Confidence Page 9

were closest to the tape. The 10 trees were any species with either a diameter at breast height of 10cm or
greater and/or taller than 4m. Faecal pellet searches under each tree and its canopy were undertaken by
searching on and under leaf litter.
Koala Habitat Tree Density
A plotless distance technique was used to calculate density across the study area of Koala Habitat Trees
(KHT) as defined by DEHP (2010). The “Point-centred Quarter” technique was used. A randomly selected
centre point was used to measure the distance to the nearest KHT in each of four quarters or quadrants.
The distance was measured in a straight line in meters. Average distance to KHT was calculated for each
sample point. Density was then calculated and expressed as average density per hectare using the
following formula:
Density in ha = 10,000m2 / (average distance to plant in meters)2
A KHT is defined as a tree of any of the following genera (DEHP, 2010):
Angophora;
Corymbia;
Eucalyptus;
Lophostemon; or
Melaleuca.
Further detailed analysis of Koalas against the Commonwealth’s Draft EPBC Act referral guidelines for the
Vulnerable Koala (combined populations of Queensland, New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory)
(DoE, 2013), using the Koala habitat assessment tool, to determine whether the proposed development will
have adverse effects on habitat critical to the survival of the Koala is provided in the Matters of National

Further, incidental observations of Koalas, their scats and scratches were made throughout field work
conducted during the course of the flora and fauna investigations. Particularly, smooth barked eucalypts
were assessed for scratches.
2.1.4.11 Ort Searches
Any she-oak clusters (Allocasuarina spp.) encountered during vegetation, flora and fauna survey were
inspected for feeding traces by the Glossy Black-Cockatoo.
2.1.4.12 Habitat Assessment
Habitat assessments were undertaken throughout the Study Area in each vegetation community and further
assessments were carried out where changes in vegetation structure were noted. Habitat mapping was
applied across the Study Area using a combination of the field verified regional ecosystem mapping and
habitat assessment pro-formas.
Habitat Assessments were undertaken at points across the Study Area using a standard pro-forma to allow a
robust and repeatable assessment to gauge habitat values. Information was based on that identified within
Terrestrial Vertebrate Fauna Survey Guidelines for Queensland (Eyre et. al., 2012) and other information
relevant to habitat assessment. Other relevant information includes vegetation integrity, fauna refuge
availability (i.e. tree hollows, notable crevices) and water feature presence or absence. Assessments were
undertaken for areas generally 20 meters radius from a central point. The results of the habitat assessments
enabled an assessment of the potential presence of significant species identified in the database search.
Five habitat assessments were undertaken for adjacent land to assist with ascertaining whether suitable
connected habitat occurs. Properties were assessed from the property boundary only, with the exception of
points collected within the adjacent National Park.
Sites at which habitat assessments were completed are indicated in Figure 2. Habitat assessment site
numbers relate to the completed habitat assessment pro-formas.

Appendix I includes a review of the species that have potential to utilise the area based on their habitat
preferences.
Threatened species identified in database searches as ‘Known’, ‘Possible’ or ‘Likely’ were specifically
targeted. Species were targeted using methods identified in State guidelines (guidelines were taken into
account at the fauna survey planning stage). In addition, the species habit and potential use of the Study
Area was taken into account when planning the targeted searches. Search methods summarised in Table 2-
4 show how these threatened species were targeted during site surveys.

State and Local Government Ecological Assessment Noosa Civic Expansion 4 Findings of Field Work 4.1 Flora 4.1.1 Property Based Vegetation Mapping The location of all ground observation sites is illustrated in Figure 2. All Secondary sites pro-formas are presented in Appendix K and data from Quaternary sites is presented in Appendix L. Although transects were established throughout the Study Area for the purposes of mapping vegetation, only those mapped as remnant vegetation by the Queensland Herbarium and corresponding with the correct regional ecosystem type (Neldner et. al., 2012) were regarded as suitable for use as reference sites. In order to attain suitable reference site data it was necessary to establish some transects in nearby locations outside of the Study Area. Suitable reference sites for 12.9-10.1 and 12.3.5 were located immediately to the east of the Study Area in Noosa National Park. Areas of land zone 3 (alluvium) were evident in the southern portion of the Study Area based on soils, topography and proximity to Eenie Creek. The presence of land zone 9-10 was unclear. The area may support land zone 5 based on the soil characteristics observed in pitfall traps (Plate 1) within the Study Area and laterite observed elsewhere in the Study Area. The land zone of the reference site for 12.9-10.1 is nonetheless the same, with similar soil characteristics observed in an adjacent road cutting (Plate 2). Plate 1: Mottle clay and laterite observed during excavation of pit Plate 2: Laterite and mottled clay observed in a road cutting fall traps adjacent to the 12.9-10.1 reference site With the exception of a two locations, quaternary and secondary sites within the Study Area confirmed all of the vegetation in the Study Area as non-remnant regrowth. Despite the floristics and cover of vegetation in most locations exceeding the minimum thresholds to be considered as remnant, the height of vegetation was <70% of that of the reference sites. Plate 3 below illustrates the location of quaternary site O23 and the corner peg of Lot 3 on SP246584 at its juncture with Noosa National Park. While this area was mapped as remnant (Queensland Herbarium, 2012a; see Figure 4), it is evident that no canopy vegetation occurs in this location.

Plate 3: Looking southward along the juncture of Lot 3
and Noosa National Park.
Given the clear error in the mapping, a Property Map of Assessable Vegetation (PMAV) application was
submitted to the Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) to rectify this error and was certified
on the 9 September 2014 (Lot 3 on SP246584 was certified as entirely Category X). This change means
that, for the purpose of the Vegetation Management Act 1999, that areas identified within the Study Area on
Figure 4 as regional ecosystems are now regarded as non-remnant. Figure 5 illustrates a series of aerial
images from 1958, 1974, 1979, 1993, 2002 and 2013. The images illustrate the Study Area had been
virtually entirely cleared in the period between 1958 and 1979. While most of the vegetation on Study Area
today represents regrowth, a small pocket of vegetation remains relatively undisturbed. This area is
illustrated highlighted in Figure 5. While a patch of approximately 1.2ha was retained in 1974, subsequent
clearing has reduced its extent to 0.7ha. A quaternary site located within this polygon confirmed that its
height is >70% of that of the reference site. However, given the size of the patch (i.e. <1ha) the vegetation
cannot be mapped at a scale of 1:25,000. Similarly, while two areas of vegetation located on alluvium
achieved >70% of the median height of the reference transect they too are <1ha in area.
Vegetation associations of the Study Area are illustrated in Figure 6 and are described below in Table 4-1.

Field investigations identified several exotic species occurring within the Study Area, of these 4 were
declared pests under the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 (LPA).
These species are largely concentrated in areas of current or previous disturbance. Of particular note is the
occurrence of the species Sporobolus pyramidalis (Giant Rat’s Tail Grass, a Class 2 weed under the LPA).
Under the LPA, land owners are required to try to keep their land free of Class 2 pests. There are also Class
3 plants identified from the Study Area (i.e. Lantana camara, Sphagneticola trilobata, Singapore Daisy &
Camphor Laurel, Cinnamomum camphora). Lantana camara and Cinnamomum camphora were also
identified within the Disturbance Footprint, along the drainage line. Singapore Daisy was identified from an
area within landscaped vegetation, adjacent to the existing truck entry from Hofmann Drive. Land owners
must control Class 3 pests where the plant is impacting or has the potential to impact on a nearby
‘environmentally significant area’ (e.g. a National Park).
None of the recorded flora species are listed as regionally or locally significant in Section 5 Flora Species List
of the Noosa Biosphere (Noosa Biosphere Ltd, 2009).

were the Yellow-footed Antechinus (Antechinus flavipes) (Plate 5), Fawn-footed Melomys (Melomys

footed Melomys were recorded from two separate hair tube traps along Pitfall line C. The Antechinus was
also recorded from a hair tube trap set 1.5m above the ground along Pitfall line B.

ARBOREAL MAMMALS
Possums/Gliders
A Ringtail Possum drey was recorded in the Study Area, however no other signs of possum or glider activity
were detected, despite stag watching and the spotlighting survey effort. Due to the nature of the dominant
tree species (stringy/spongy bark) scratches were difficult to detect. Minor scratching was observed on
Eucalyptus grandis, but these could potentially be attributed to Lace monitors.
Koalas
Koala activity had been recorded previously within the Noosa locality (Wildnet records) and recorded as
likely to occur based on previous ecological studies. Callaghan et. al. (2011) maps most of the Study Area
as Secondary Habitat (Class A) meaning areas where:
primary koala eucalypt species comprise < 50% (but >30%) of overstorey trees; or areas of forest or
woodland where primary koala eucalypt species comprise < 30%, but together with secondary
eucalypt species comprise <50%; or areas of forest or woodland where secondary eucalypt species
alone comprise <50% (primary eucalypt species absent).
Minor areas along the southern boundary associated with alluvial soils are regarded as ‘Primary Habitat’ and
roads are not regarded as habitat.
Targeted Koala searches were undertaken using both the KRAM and additional opportunistic searches to
identify any Koala activity or signs of activity on the Study Area (Figure 2). The results of KRAM are
presented in Appendix O. A single Koala scat was identified during the search (location illustrated on
Figure 7, Plate 7). Koala scat identification was confirmed through analysis by Barbara Triggs.
Opportunistic observations didn’t yield any other signs of Koala activity.

Plate 7: Koala Scat collected during KRAM.
The density of Koala Habitat Trees (KHTs) across the Study Area was determined utilising the point-quarter
method. Assessment sites were evenly distributed across the Study Area to attain a representative sample
of KHTs (Figure 2). Appendix P includes the full data set of trees assessed. It is estimated that the
average density of koala habitat trees across the Study Area is 433 trees per hectare. Of the vegetation
communities present across the entire Study Area, 17.4ha supports KHTs (i.e. clear areas and landscape &
young regrowth are disregarded). Therefore an estimated 7,534 KHTs occur within the entire Study Area.
These include the following species:
> Eucalyptus grandis;
> Eucalyptus resinifera;
> Eucalyptus robusta;
> Lophostemon suaveolens;
> Lophostemon confertus;
> Melaleuca nodosa;
> Melaleuca quinquenervia; and
> Melaleuca saligna.
While there is evidence of koala use and the presence of KHTs, the size of the population frequenting the
Study Area cannot be determined from this information alone. It is evident that no koalas were observed
during the assessment, no obvious koala scratches were recorded on Eucalyptus grandis and the Study
Area, while connected to the south, is disconnected from the northwest and to a lesser extent from the east
by Walter Hay Drive. There is also conjecture about the total numbers of koalas remaining in Noosa. While
there is no ‘hard science’ regarding populations, an article in the Courier Mail (Williams, 2010) suggested
there may be as little as 11 animals in Noosa National Park (in an area mapped as Primary Koala Habitat by
Callaghan et. al., 2011). Given the likely low local population in Primary Habitat and the findings of the Study
Area assessment, it is anticipated that the Study Area is infrequently visited by koalas.

No Flying-fox roosts are present within the Study Area. Some Black Flying-fox (Pteropus alecto) were
observed flying over the Study Area during spot lighting and stag watching. It is likely the vegetation of the
Study Area is used by the Black Flying-fox (P. alecto) and possibly the Grey-headed Flying-fox (P.
policephala) and the Little Red Flying-fox (P. scapulatus) as a feeding resource.
Four microchiropteran bat species were positively identified within the Study Area through ultrasonic
detection. Figure 2 illustrates the locations where activity was targeted using bat recorders. Four confirmed
species include Miniopterus australis, Mormopterus beccarii, Rhinolophus megaphyllus and Saccolaimus

flaviventris. At least three additional species were recorded, however, due to the brief and fragmented
nature of these calls; they could not be positively identified. The three additional species are likely to be
Chalinolobus gouldii, Miniopterus orianae oceanensis and Myotis macropus or Nyctophilus sp. None of the
bats recorded are scheduled under the NCA.
The Little Bentwing Bat (Miniopterus australis) is considered regionally significant within south-east
Queensland/Noosa Shire under Part 6 of the Noosa Biosphere (Biosphere Ltd, 2009). This species roosts in
a variety of places including caves, tunnels, stormwater drains and possibly tree hollows and forages for
insects in well-timbered habitats (Van Dyck and Strahan, 2008).
4.2.2.2 Reptiles
Most of the Study Area support good reptile habitat in the form of leaf litter, fallen timber and dense
vegetation. While the Wildnet database search returned 42 reptiles for the broader area, only 7 species
were recorded from Study Area. This included 2 species of snake and 4 of lizard including the Green Tree
Snake (Dendrelaphis punctulata), Carpet Python (Morethia spilota) (Plate 8), Common Garden Skink
(Lampropholis delicata), Lampropholis coggeri, Ctenotus taeneolatus and Lace monitor (Varanus varius).
Plate 8: Carpet Python (Morethia spilota)
Review of existing databases indicated that two listed reptile species, Elf Skink (Eroticoscincus graciloides)
and Cooloola Blind Snake (Ramphotyphlops silvia) could potentially occur within the habitats of the Study
Area.
ELF SKINK (Eroticoscincus graciloides)
The Elf Skink was originally recorded from the adjacent area (now Noosa Civic) and from the nearby Noosa
National Park. The Elf Skink has also been recorded within the wider Noosa locality in both Wildnet and
Queensland Museum records. The habitat for the Elf Skink includes rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest
where it shelters under rocks, logs and leaf litter (Qld Parks and Wildlife Service, 2001). Therefore all areas
on Study Area with high leaf litter and logs or rocks were considered potential habitat and were subject of
targeted searches. Targeted searches included pitfall trapping, funnel trapping and targeted searches of leaf
litter, under rocks and logs. This did not result in any observations or captures of Elf Skink.
While no individuals were recorded, suitable habitat was found; hence the species may be present in
undetectable numbers.

State and Local Government Ecological Assessment Noosa Civic Expansion COOLOOLA BLIND SNAKE (Ramphotyphlops silvia) The Cooloola Blind Snake was known from the Noosa locality based on Wildnet and Queensland Museum records. The Cooloola Blind Snake shows similar habitat preference to the Elf Skink. It is known to use coastal rainforest, woodlands and heath growing on sand where they shelter in sand and decomposed wood under logs and leaf litter (Wilson and Swan, 2010). Therefore sandy areas were targeted where high litter and cover are present. Targeted searches for this species including pitfall trapping and searches of leaf litter and under logs was undertaken across the Study Area. This species was not observed. While no individuals were recorded, potential habitat does occur. Given the habitat preferences of this species (Appendix I), the appropriate habitat associations are within the southern, alluvial portions of the Study Area. 4.2.2.3 Amphibians Dedicated searches were undertaken for the State listed Wallum Sedgefrog, Tusked Frog, Wallum Froglet, Green-thighed Frog, Cooloola Sedgefrog, Giant Barred Frog and Wallum Rocketfrog. The Wallum Sedgefrog, Wallum Froglet and Wallum Rocketfrog all require coastal lowland/wallum areas. Low lying, moist areas on Study Area were searched for these species. Pitfall and funnel traps were placed proximate to likely habitat for amphibians (and reptiles). Three native species of amphibian were recorded. One species was recorded from capture in funnel traps and the two other species were recorded from call only. These were the Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peroni), the Eastern Sedgefrog (Litoria fallax) and Wallum Froglet (Crinia tinnula). The Wallum Froglet was identified during the wet spotlight survey on 8 April 2013. This species was heard in the far south east corner of the Study Area. This species was not detected elsewhere on the Study Area. Habitat in this area (i.e. regrowth of Melaleuca quinquenervia and Eucalyptus robusta forest) is suitable for supporting this species. Additional potential habitat is also located adjacent to the existing truck access in the south west of the Study Area; however, no amphibian species were detected in this location. Despite this, the area represents suitable potentially habitat for the species. This species is Vulnerable under the NCA and also regarded as a high priority species within the SEQ Back on Track Framework (DERM, 2010b). The Green-thighed Frog and Giant Barred Frog were considered less likely to occur in the Study Area based on their habitat preferences. Despite this, dedicated searches were undertaken and time was allowed to listen for calls during spotlighting. The exotic Cane Toad (Rhinella marina) was commonly observed in the more open parts of the Study Area, particularly along the cleared areas. 4.2.2.4 Birds Bird habitat is largely homogenous in the Study Area characterised by tall overstorey trees with very thick undergrowth vegetation. A total of 37 species of birds were recorded in the Study Area as listed in Appendix N. As well as directly observing species, bird nests were also identified on Study Area including a number of Australian Bush Turkey mounds (Plate 9).

No NCA scheduled bird species were recorded during the survey.
Targeted searches for the Glossy Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami) within small patches of Black
Sheoak (Allocasuarina littoralis) (Figure 2) did not identify any signs (i.e. orts) of activity. Sheoak dominated
patches were only located in areas to the north of Walter Hay Drive. Sheoak were also identified in the north
eastern portions of Study Area to the south of Walter Hay Drive.
4.2.3 Summary of Threatened Species
With the exception of the Koala and Wallum Froglet, species targeted were not recorded during the field
work. Despite this, the prevailing habitats identified during field work may be periodically utilised by some of
these species as described in Appendix Q. One species, the Little Bentwing Bat, regarded as a regionally
significant species on the Noosa Biosphere Fauna Species List (Noosa Biosphere, 2009), was identified as
foraging within the Study Area. No plant species of significance were regarded as having the potential to
occur following field work. Following field work the following species were regarded as having potential to
utilise the habitats of the Study Area on occasion:
> Lewin's Rail (Lewinia pectoralis). Possible use of the southern extent of the Study Area around
depressions;
> Green-thighed Frog (Litoria brevipalmata). Possible use of the southern extent of the Study Area around
depressions;
> Wallum Rocketfrog (Litoria freycineti). Possible use of the southern extent of the Study Area around
depressions;
> Wallum Sedgefrog (Litoria olongburensis). Possible use of the southern extent of the Study Area around
depressions and of the south western area around depressions, adjacent to the existing truck access;
> Elf Skink (Eroticoscincus graciloides). Possible use of all forested areas where there is leaf litter; and
> Cooloola Blind Snake (Rhamphotyphlops silvia). Possible use of the southern extent of the Study Area
where alluvial soil occurs.
4.3 Habitat
Appendix Q presents habitat assessments for the Study Area. Habitat assessment aims to identify the
highest quality habitat for the most number of species – for example, while dense stand of Allocasuarina

Page 30
State and Local Government Ecological Assessment Noosa Civic Expansion littoralis represents a potential feeding resource for the Glossy Black-Cockatoo, it lacks other characteristics such as hollows and ground layer vegetation that are important for a range of other species and is therefore downgraded as habitat. Figure 8 illustrates locations of habitat assessment points. Based on the habitat quality assessment hierarchy (Table 1-3), habitat values across the area are mostly classed as ‘very low to moderate’ with few areas assessed as ‘very high or high value’ habitat. Low value habitat corresponds with areas that have been recently cleared and have little habitat diversity and therefore support relatively few habitat components of value to a diversity of fauna. Much of the habitat in the Study Area is regarded as of value to terrestrial and ground dwelling fauna (reptiles, small mammals and some birds). Generally habitat across the Study Area is regarded as low or very low value to arboreal or hollow dependent fauna and amphibious or water/wetland dependent species. Hollow-bearing trees were recorded in relatively low numbers, with hollows concentrated in the areas through the centre and north eastern parts of the Study Area, which had not previously been cleared. These areas may provide nesting/roosting habitat for some fauna species including microbats.

State and Local Government Ecological Assessment Noosa Civic Expansion 5 Assessment of Impacts 5.1 Values While the ecological assessment captured information for the entirety of Lot 3 on SP246584, the impact assessment focusses on the proposed expansion of the Noosa Civic within which ~7.5ha of regrowth/non- remnant vegetation will be impacted, as illustrated in Figure 1. Ecological values absent from the development footprint include: > Remnant regional ecosystems (MSES regulated vegetation); and > Flora species scheduled under Commonwealth or State laws or regarded of local significance. Confirmed ecological values within the development footprint include: > Regrowth vegetation. There are very few remnant trees in this area; > Planted, landscaped areas. There are areas that have been planted with now established native vegetation; > Potential habitat for Wallum Froglet and Wallum Sedgefrog associated with a small area proximate to the existing truck access; > Koala habitat trees (MSES wildlife habitat). By applying a rate of 433 trees/ha, the vegetated area of the ~7.5ha of clearing supports approximately 3,248 KHTs. Only ~7.2ha of this clearing (supporting ~3,118 KHTs) requires provision of an offset in accordance with the requirements of the Koala SPRP, because it is mapped as Medium Value Bushland and Medium Value Rehabilitation; > Habitat for a diversity of species. While the full complement of flora and fauna species recorded within Lot 3 on SP246584 are not present within the clearing footprint, a large number of them would be. For example, it is anticipated that the locally significant Little Bentwing Bat (Miniopterus australis) is likely to forage throughout the vegetation; and > Potential habitat for the NC(W)R ‘Vulnerable’ Elf Skink (Eroticoscincus graciloides). The Shire Business Centre (Map Sbc) identifies a drainage line on the western edge of the impact area as ‘OS7’ (Environmental Drainage). OS7 largely aligns with, but is not consistent with, an area of vegetation protected under an existing covenant. This covenant area supports vegetation and habitat that is largely consistent with surrounding vegetation, with the minor exception of the presence of a narrow drainage line. 5.2 Impacts Impacts on ecological values can be divided into those that are direct and those that are indirect. Direct impacts of the proposed development include: > the loss of approximately 7.5ha of regrowth/non-remnant vegetation; > the loss of approximately 3,118 KHTs within the 7.2ha of Medium Value Bushland and Medium Value Rehabilitation koala habitat; > the loss of approximately 0.02ha of regrowth vegetation associated with areas that are possible Wallum Froglet habitat; and > the loss of approximately 7.5ha of habitat that has some value to several common reptiles, small mammals and birds. This area is also potential habitat for the Elf Skink, that may be present, but in numbers so low it can’t be detected. The habitat has low-very low value for arboreal or hollow dependent fauna. Furthermore, a portion of this clearing will occur within the existing covenant area to enable the establishment of a two-pier pedestrian link between Noosa Civic and the proposed development (accounting for ~0.05ha containing ~55 trees that are >10cm diameter at breast height). While some vegetation can be retained under the two-pier pedestrian link, it is anticipated that owing to exclusion of light that much of this QIC Noosa Civic Pty Ltd Version 1 5 December 2014 J13041_Ecological Assessment State Local_V1.docx Commercial in Confidence Page 28
Page 33
State and Local Government Ecological Assessment
Noosa Civic Expansion
will not persist. An additional area of clearing will occur within the southern edge of Covenant J to allow for
development of the southern road (~0.02ha of clearing for road batters).
Indirect impacts may result from:
> locating development proximate to the edge of retained vegetation, thereby necessitating the clearing of
additional vegetation; and
> from changes in hydrology that increase or decrease flows or affect the quality of stormwater runoff.
The proposed development has been designed to ensure there are no changes to hydrology that would
adversely affect downstream flora or fauna reliant on stormwater flows. The proposed development has also
been designed to protect all vegetation within the covenant area, with the exception of the proposed
pedestrian link and southern road batter. Surveyed trees have been avoided as much as practicable at the
pedestrian link and the crossing structure will be elevated to allow for the movement of local wildlife.
It is also important to note that not all impacts are negative. The proposed development represents an
opportunity to improve connectivity between the covenant and vegetation to the south by replacing a low
lying flooded culvert with a structure that will allow for greater movement of wildlife between the areas.
5.3 Mitigation Measures
Despite the minimal impact of the proposed development, mitigation measures have been built into the
design and others will be implemented during its construction and operation. In terms of development design
it is noted:
> all trees along the covenant interface have been surveyed to ensure they have been considered within
project design;
> where practicable, trees and other native regrowth vegetation will be retained in bands within the outer
areas of the proposed car park. The retention of these bands of regrowth vegetation between paved
surfaces and other construction has been successfully achieved within Noosa Civic as illustrated in Plate
10 below. It is anticipated that most mature regrowth within the retained bands will survive despite
exposure to created edges. While there is the potential for the health of some retained mature regrowth
to diminish, this will provide opportunities for existing smaller trees to fill resulting gaps. Where there are
lower densities of existing younger vegetation this insufficiency will be augmented through supplementary
planting;

Areas where vegetation will not persist will be lined with rocks and logs to provide cover for wildlife; > the truck access will be constructed on a podium to minimise the footprint of construction on potential Wallum Froglet habitat; and > that the proposed development incorporates stormwater management devices to ensure there are no downstream impacts. Site ecology will be addressed during construction through: > implementation of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (Cardno, 2014); and > the sequential clearing of vegetation undertaken under the guidance of a spotter catcher. The covenant area is a relatively narrow strip of vegetation attaining a maximum width of approximately 50m. Such narrow patches of vegetation are prone to edge effects and as such require ongoing maintenance. Consequently a “Covenant interface management plan” will be implemented to ensure the covenant area is not adversely affected by: > weed establishment; > increase rubbish entering the area; and > inappropriate fire regimes. As outlined in Table 3-1, impacts to MSES may require the provision of an offset under the State’s Environmental Offsets Policy 2014. Of the MSES identified in Table 3-1 that may require offsetting, only the ‘Protected Wildlife Habitat (including inter alia non-juvenile Koala Habitat Trees under the SPRP)’ will be impacted by the proposed development (Figure 9). An offset will be provided in response to the requirements of the Koala SPRP in accordance with the State’s Environmental Offsets Act 2014 that will offset impacts on Koala and on Protected Wildlife Habitat. For the purpose of providing an offset in accordance with the requirements of the Koala SPRP, areas mapped under the Koala SPRP as ‘non-habitat’ are not included in the total offsetable area (Figure 9). Therefore, the offset provision will be calculated based on impact to approximately 7.2ha of regrowth/non-remnant vegetation (Figure 9).

6 Regulatory compliance
6.1 State Government Regulatory Requirements
The proposed Noosa Civic expansion will necessitate the clearing of approximately 7.2ha of Medium Value
Bushland and Medium Value Rehabilitation koala habitat that supports approximately 3,118 KHTs. In
accordance with the requirements of the Koala SPRP the loss of koala habitat will require the provision of an
offset. Under the Queensland Environmental Offset Policy 2014 either a land-based offset or a financial
settlement may be used. A land-based offset (replacement of lost koala food trees at a ratio of 3:1) or a
financial settlement based on the offsetable impact of 7.2ha. The financial settlement for the 7.2ha has been
calculated using the State online calculator and is presented in Appendix R.
The proposed Noosa Civic expansion will also result in the removal of MSES Wildlife Habitat within the
Coastal Protection Zone consisting of koala medium value bushland habitat. The provision of an offset in
accordance with the requirements of the Koala SPRP will also address any offset liabilities that may arise in
complying with the requirements of Module 10 of the SDAPs.
The Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006, subordinate to the NC Act, specifies that
“a person must not, without a reasonable excuse, tamper with an animal breeding place that is being used by
a protected animal to incubate or rear the animal's offspring”. With respect to all native fauna species it is
noted that under Section 332 of the NCA, approval from DEHP is required to tamper with a protected
animal’s breeding place. Should disturbance to animal breeding places be required, a Species Management
Plan (SMP) which addresses the potential impacts and includes mitigation measures to protect the animals
requires approval from DEHP prior to the commencement of Operational Works. In this regard, a follow-up
survey for animal breeding places should be undertaken closer to the time of Operational Works to ensure
any newly established breeding places are detected. During Operational Works, a fauna Spotter Catcher
(who holds a current Permit) would be required to be present to direct habitat clearing/draining activities.
6.2 Local Government Regulatory Requirements
The Noosaville Biodiversity Overlay (Map OM8.1) indicates ‘koala habitat area’, ‘environmental enhancement
area’ and ‘environmental protection areas’ within the proposed development area thereby triggering the
Biodiversity Overlay Code. A response demonstrating compliance with the Specific Outcomes of the Code is
provided in Appendix S.
The Shire Business Centre (Map Sbc) identifies an area along the western boundary of the Study Area as
‘OS7’ Open Space (Environmental Drainage). The Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the Open
Space Conservation Zone in Part 11 ‘Noosaville Locality Plan’ of the Planning Scheme indicate that ‘all uses’
are inconsistent with the zoning. Further it is noted that:
O221 Precincts OS4 and OS7 comprise a substantial part of the existing natural drainage lines
through the Shire Business Centre site and are either retained in their natural state or ecologically
improved to ensure final polishing of runoff waters before they enter Eenie Creek.
An existing covenant is positioned in much the same location as OS7. OS7 and the covenant area occupy
the same total area (1.3ha), but the latter follows the alignment of a minor drainage line. Given this, the
covenant area better reflects the ‘environmental drainage’ purpose of OS7 and effectively aligns with
ecological values associated with the minor ephemeral drainage line. The edge of the drainage line largely
supported plant species consistent with the surrounding vegetation, however, some sedges and rushes were
found at the southernmost extent of the line.
Field investigations within the areas of OS7 not aligning with the covenant found:
> vegetation associations that are consistent with the surrounding area. Specifically it supports regrowth
Syncarpia glomulifera, Eucalyptus resinifera, E. grandis & Corymbia intermedia forest. The northern most
extent includes some Melaleuca quinquenervia as a mid-canopy element; and
> no threatened plant or fauna species although koala habitat trees are present.

State and Local Government Ecological Assessment Noosa Civic Expansion The covenant area will be retained and will be subject to ongoing management in accordance with the proposed “Covenant interface management plan”. Only minor clearing is associated with a proposed crossing of the covenant by the pedestrian link and to enable construction of the southern access road. There are no impacts in areas outside of the covenant but within OS7 that are notable i.e. the vegetation/habitat is indistinguishable from surrounding areas.

State and Local Government Ecological Assessment Noosa Civic Expansion 7 Conclusion The proposed expansion of the Noosa Civic Expansion will result in the clearing of approximately 7.5ha (of which ~7.2ha is offsetable) of vegetated land incorporating: > regrowth vegetation supporting occasional remnant trees; > approximately 3,118 koala habitat trees within the 7.2ha of Medium Value Bushland and Medium Value Rehabilitation Koala Habitat; > habitat for a diversity of species. With the exception of the koala there are no species scheduled as threatened under the EPBC Act or NC(W)R confirmed in the area; > approximately 0.02ha of potential Wallum Froglet and Wallum Sedgefrog habitat; and > potential habitat for the NC(W)R ‘Vulnerable’ Elf Skink (Eroticoscincus graciloides). The development is also located adjacent to an existing covenant area that largely aligns with an area identified as OS7 in the ‘Noosaville Locality Plan’ of the Planning Scheme. While the development largely avoids, retains and manages this area, the proposal incorporates a minor crossing in order to provide a pedestrian link with Noosa Civic. The proposed development responds to Local and State statutory requirements by: > maximising tree retention within the covenant and committing to the ongoing management of this area; > managing downstream impacts through integration of stormwater management devices; > minimising impacts during construction through sequential clearing under the supervision of a spotter catcher; > improving downstream connectivity integrating a dry fauna underpass under Hofmann Drive; > complying with the specific outcomes of the Noosa Biodiversity Overlay Code (Appendix S); and > providing an offset for the clearing of koala habitat trees in accordance with the Queensland Environmental Offset Policy 2014. Offsetting koala habitat trees will also act to offset the impacts of clearing on other MSES.

Vegetation Management Act 1999 - Extract from the essential habitat database
Essential habitat is required for assessment under the:
• State Development Assessment Provisions - Module 8: Native vegetation clearing which sets out the matters of interest to the state for development assessment under the Sustainable Planning
Act 2009; and
• Self-assessable vegetation clearing codes made under the Vegetation Management Act 1999
Essential habitat for one or more of the following species is found on and within 1.1 km of the identified subject lot/s or on and within 2.2 km of an identified coordinate on the accompanying essential habitat
map.
This report identifies essential habitat in Category A, B and Category C areas.
The numeric labels on the essential habitat map can be cross referenced with the database below to determine which essential habitat factors might exist for a particular species.
Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records.
The Department of Natural Resources and Mines website (http://www.dnrm.qld.gov.au) has more information on how the layer is applied under the State Development Assessment Provisions - Module 8:
Native vegetation clearing and the Vegetation Management Act 1999.
Regional ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated.
Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means a category A area, a category B area or category C area shown on the regulated vegetation management map-
1) (a) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat
database; or
2) (b) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.
Essential habitat identifies endangered or vulnerable native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1994.
