            2     SURVEY METHODOLOGY

            2.1       Desktop Assessment
            The desktop assessment comprised an investigation of the previously mapped and recorded
            vegetation communities and species, as well as vegetation communities and species which have
            the potential to be present. The following resources were accessed during the desktop assessment:
                  •    The Noosa Plan 2020 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay;
                  •    The Department of Resources’ (DoR) Vegetation Management Supporting Map;
                  •    The Department of Environment and Science’s (DES) Koala priority area and koala habitat
                       area Map;
                  •    The DES Wildlife Online database;
                  •    The DES Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Area mapping;
                  •    The Queensland Waterways for Waterway Barrier Works mapping; and
                  •    The Commonwealth Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment’s Environment

            2.2       Field Survey
            A field survey was undertaken on 29 July 2021 to verify the composition and extent of native plant
            species, vegetation communities and fauna habitat within the site. The field survey methodology
            comprised a walking meander through the various vegetation communities within the site whilst
            observations were made of the in-situ vegetation species and habitat elements including adjoining
            vegetation communities and specific habitat features such as nests and tree hollows. The survey
            included a targeted search for the presence of any flora species listed under the Nature Conservation
            Act 1992 (NC Act) and/or the EPBC Act.
