Attachment 5 - Flora Survey Report by Gondwana Ecology

    5. CONCLUSION

This survey provides notification to DEHP that the activity is exempt under Section 261ZA and there
will be no impacts on threatened species. There are no threatened plants occurring within the subject
land (clearing area).

The threatened plants outside the clearing area are not at risk from the project activities.
Nevertheless, management measures during clearing operations will be in place as part of the
development approval conditions to ensure no inadvertent clearing by site contractors.

In accordance with the Guidelines, a protected plant clearing permit is not required from DEHP.
