REHABILITATION MANAGEMENT PLAN - Stage 1

 

Prepared for Blue Care

 

 

Grasstree Court, Sunrise Beach, Qld, 4567

Lot 6 RP 901384 {& Lot 9 SP 252905}

 

 

1. INTRODUCTION

The primary objective of the rehabilitation management plan (RMP) is to establish a “rehabilitation
program” (vegetation offset proposal) that provides for a good ecological outcome by re-establishing
habitat elsewhere in the nearby locality.

For the purposes of the RMP, the subject land is the site to be cleared (approved development land) while
the rehabilitation site is the receiver site (land to be rehabilitated).

The receiver (rehabilitation) has been identified within the Girraween Sports Complex and Nature Refuge
located at 100 Eenie Creek Road; Noosa Heads (off Wallum Lane), formally known as Lot 1 on SP239726
(FIGURE B1 — Receiving Site Landscape).

Two treatment areas (Tl and T2) have been considered in consultation with Council (FIGURE B2 —
Receiving Site Treatment Areas).

Stage 1 of the development encompasses some 0.8ha of clearing and available soil/seed material.

2. SITE TREATMENT AND TRANSFER METHODS

2.1 Overview

 

As part of the rehabilitation exercise, soil containing the seed bank of the vegetation within Lot 6 will be
scraped off post clearing and mulching of all above ground vegetation. This live soil will be transferred via
trucks to the receiver site. Vegetation clearing for the subject land is described in the VFMP. The receiver
site is to be prepared prior to any clearing on Lot 6. All vegetation on Lot 6 will be cleared and mulched
prior to lifting out live topsoil. All works will comply with the conditions of the operational works approval
* and the VFMP. The proposed rehabilitation exercise staging is summarised below.

 

Step | Action

 

1 Clear entire site. Mulch, strip and stockpile all top layers and weed material.

 

Install main infrastructure e.g. haul roads, irrigation water line from treatment plant, irrigation holdings tanks.

 

Provide weed treatment to entire receiver site after clearing, i.e. spray all weeds as they germinate for four
weeks prior to seed soil being moved to site.

 

Site soil from Lot 6 transported and installed into the northwest corner (0.8ha) —i.e. stage 1 area.

 

Irrigation sprinklers installed into stage 1 area, with ability to continue irrigation line into balance (stage 2
area).

 

Install minimum of 100 she-oak tubes (i.e. from project site seed at Floribunda) into the stage 1 area.

 

Install monitoring points to entire site to allow for monitoring of entire site from stage 1 onwards.
