1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a Preliminary Ecological Assessment undertaken by Core Consultants Pty
Ltd (Core) for a proposed aged care facility at Walter Hay Drive Noosaville. The Preliminary Ecological
Assessment was undertaken to:
Identify ecological values potentially occurring at the Site and immediate surrounding area
Provide suitable information to allow for detailed survey design, if required
The following report details our findings.
2.0 KEY FINDINGS
The Site is considered Koala habitat and requires appropriate vegetation offsets
Surrounding vegetation is considered to contain significant ecological values
No significant / protected plant species occur on site
3.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Based on the provided information, we understand that the proposed residential aged care development is to
comprise buildings up to two-stories, together with parking and driveway access from Walter Hay Drive. A
total of 1.01 hectares of vegetation is expected to be cleared including building envelopes, car parks and
landscaping.
The proposed development layout plans are presented in Appendix A.
4.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
4.1 Subject Site
The subject site is known as Lot 3 on SP246584 and located off Walter Hay Drive, Noosaville (the Site).
Walter Hay Drive bounds the south western boundary of the site with Noosa National Park bounding the
north and east. Access to the Site is via a 40 m wide powerline easement running along the eastern
boundary in which high voltage overhead power lines are situated.
At the time of our investigation, the Site comprised regrowth vegetation approximately 10 m high across a
gently sloping to flat ground surface. A number of emergent eucalyptus trees were present. There are no
structures on the Site.
Site conditions at the time of our investigation are shown on Photographs 1 and 2.

4.2 Surrounding Area
To the west of the Site (on the western side of Walter Hay Drive) is Noosa Civic Shopping Centre and
Noosaville industrial estate (Figure 1 – Site Location). Residential and industrial development continues to
the north of the Site along Eenie Creek Road. The landscape is dominated by urban development to the
north of the Site for approximately 2 km until Noosa River.
Noosa National Park bounds the eastern portion of the Site and continues for approximately 1.8 km prior to
Lake Weyba and tributaries of the Noosa River. South of the Site, approximately 600 m is Eenie Creek.
5.0 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The scope of this report is to undertake a comprehensive desktop assessment and preliminary field survey
of the proposed development site and immediate surrounding area.
The aim of the desktop assessment was to identify:
Significant species potentially utilising the Site or surrounding area
Habitat for significant species potentially utilising the Site
Vegetation Associations (Regional Eco-systems) potentially occurring on the Site
The presence of significant wetlands within the Site and immediate surrounding area
The habitat assessment and field survey aim was to ‘ground truth’ and confirm/supplement the ecological
values identified during the desktop assessment including:
Confirm Regional Ecosystem mapping of the Site
Undertake a habitat assessment of the vegetation present and the ‘condition’ of the habitat
Assess connectivity within the Site and surrounding area
Identify additional habitats and significant species potentially utilising the area
Assess the potential for those significant species identified during the desktop study, to occur within the
Site or immediate surrounding area
The preliminary ecological assessment included:
An identification of ecological values within the proposed development site
A list of significant species potentially occurring within the surrounding area (5 km radius)
An assessment of the likelihood of those significant species occurring within the proposed site and
immediate surrounding area
A preliminary identification of habitat and ecological values potentially occurring within the Site
An assessment of Koala habitat within the Site

7.1.3 DEHP – Biodiversity and Conservation Values
The Department of Environmental and Heritage Protection (DEHP) Biodiversity and Conservation Values on-
line report provides an assessment of selected matters (relevant ecological and biodiversity mapping) of
interest relevant to a specific location or Area of Interest (AOI) with a 2 km radius. The full report is
presented in Appendix D.
The report identifies:
The presence of 0.2 ha of Of Concern Reginal Ecosystem (RE) within the area of interest
0.2 ha considered to contain State habitat for EVNT taxa
The southern portion of Lot 3 on SP246584 is mapped as containing Palustrine wetlands, however the
proposed development site is approximately 500 m from the mapped wetland area of the allotment
The Site is mapped as part of a State corridor
An extract form Biodiversity Planning Assessment (BPA) mapping is presented in Plate 1 below.

Overall, the Biodiversity Planning Assessment identifies the vegetation and habitat immediately surrounding
the Site (Noosa National Park and vegetation mapped as RE: 12.9-10.1) as:
Very High Habitat values
High Ecosystem values
Very High based on tract size
High ecosystem diversity
These values are mapped as associated with the surrounding area and not the proposed development site.
However, a number of these values are likely present within the Site.
7.1.4 DEHP Regional Ecosystem Biodiversity Status
The DEHP RE mapping provided details of vegetation associations mapped in accordance with Nelder et al.
(2012) within the Site and immediate surrounding area. Additionally, the report outlines the biodiversity
status of the mapped vegetation.

8.0 SITE WALKOVER – FIELD SURVEY RESULTS
8.1 Vegetation and Habitat
The proposed development site consists of mature regrowth vegetation with the canopy dominated by a
number of Eucalyptus, Melaleuca species and Allocasuarina generally 10 m high. The mid story is
dominated by rainforest regrowth species and heath land shrubs. The ground cover varies from areas
dominated by Blady grass (Imperata cylindrical) and Rainforest grass (Oplismenus aemulus)
Table 3 below summarises the vegetation across the Site in general accordance with Nelder et al. (2012).

The micro habitats within the Site vary from dense Allocasuarina dominated areas with little to no understory
to Melaleuca quinquenervia dominated areas with the understory dominated by Gahnia and sedge species.
Regrowth vegetation across the Site is considered non remnant. Other areas are dominated by regrowth
eucalyptus species (Eucalyptus resinifera, Syncarpia glomulifera) to 10 m.
Vegetation within the Site is a composite of species associated with:
RE 12.9-10.1 (Eucalyptus resinifera, E. grandis, E. robusta, Corymbia intermedia on sedimentary rocks.
(Of Concern)) in the northern portion of the Site
RE 12.3.5 (Melaleuca quinquenervia, Casuarina glauca +/- Eucalyptus tereticornis) in the southern
portion of the Site. (Least Concern)

J000202-002-R-Rev1 June 2016
Core’s Geotechnical Investigation of the Site (refer Core report J000206-001-R-Rev0, dated April 2016)
indicates land zone 9 – fine grained sedimentary rocks (Siltstone) underlays the Site.
8.2 Protected Plants Flora Survey
A significant species flora survey was undertaken across the Site and immediate surrounding area. The
Protected Plant Survey was undertaken in accordance with Protected Plants Survey Guidelines (DERM
2014).
The findings of the Protected Plant Survey identified:
No significant protected flora species were identified within the survey area
Clearing of the Site is considered exempt under the Vegetation Management Act
8.3 Fauna Habitat Assessment
Significant species identified during the desktop assessment data base searches are presented in Appendix
B and Appendix C. These species and associated habitats are summarised in Table B1Significan Species
Likelihood of Occurrence presented in Appendix B.
Following the field survey an assessment of the significant species preferred habitats and those habitats
occurring on the Site was undertaken.
Professional judgment was used to outline the potential of the species occurring on the Site as:
Nil – Not possible for the species to occur on the Site, or immediate area
Unlikely – Species habitat does not match the habitat criteria of the species and therefore it is unlikely to
find the species onsite
Potentially – Indicates that the species may occur on Site usually as a fly over or migration movement.
Habitat of the species is not generally identified to occur on site however habitat for the species occurs
within close proximity and movement through the Site may occur
Probable - identifies species with habitat values identified within the Site overlap those of the species
identified. It is likely that the species may occur within the Site.
Table 4 below summarises those significant species identified as potentially and probably occurring on the
Site.

8.4 Connectivity Surrounding Vegetation
The Site is located immediately adjacent to Noosa National Park which contains vegetation immediately to
the north and east of the Site considered State Significant Corridor vegetation. Noosa National Park
provides significant connectivity from Sandy Cape to Coolum and west to hinterland vegetation. Additionally,
Eenie Creek riparian vegetation, to the south of the Site, provides local east west corridor movement.
The Site itself provides minimal connectivity with Walter Hay Drive bounding the western boundary and
Eenie Creek Road minimising movement to the north of the Site. Additionally, limited vegetation corridors
occur to the north of the Site or to the west. Current connectivity is likely to be maintained by proposed
buffer zones to the National Park.
8.5 Koala Habitat Assessment
Under the South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions (May 2010,
Amended 26 June 2015) the Site is mapped as High Value Bushland habitat and considered a site that
contains non juvenile koala habitat trees. Under the provisions non juvenile trees are those with a height
greater than 4 m and / or circumference greater than greater than 31.5 cm. Koala habitat trees are identified
as
A food tree of the Corymbia, Melaleuca, Lophostemon or Eucalyptus genera
A preferred shelter species such as Angophora.
A field survey of koala habitat trees within the Site was undertaken on 31 May and 1 June.
17
Page 19
J000202-002-R-Rev1 June 2016
The results of the assessment are summarised in Table 5, below with the locations of the habitat trees
across the entire site presented in Figure 2.

Additionally, Plate 5 above outlines those individuals within the proposed clearing area of the Site. It is
expected that a total of 1.01 hectares of koala habitat shall be cleared as part of the proposed development
and require offsetting under Queensland Environmental Offsets Policy (December 2014).

J000202-002-R-Rev1 June 2016
8.6 Further Assessment
The current assessment focussed on significant flora survey of the Site and immediate surrounding area and
significant fauna species habitat. Identification of the potential likelihood of a number of significant fauna
species utilising the Site was identified (refer Table 4, above). A majority of these species are highly mobile
and while may occur on the Site are unlikely to be significantly impacted by the proposed works.
However, the assessment identified the likelihood of koalas utilising the Site and identified the Site as
considered valuable koala habitat. Appropriate offsetting of koala habitat shall be required. Additionally,
design plans of the Site shall be required to meet the Koala-sensitive Design Guideline: A guide to koala-
sensitive design measures for planning and development activities (November 2012).
Additionally, a koala management plan shall be required to be in place during the clearing activities of the
Site.
9.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Site is surrounded by Noosa National Park that contains significant ecological values including
significant habitat and connectivity. Protection of the surrounding vegetation (Noosa National Park) is
required. The current vegetation buffers (including the high voltage powerline easement) outline suitable
vegetation buffers to minimise impacts on the surrounding area. Landscaping plans are to utilise endemic
species to the Site and ensure removal and control of all invasive species.
The proposed site itself is considered regrowth vegetation and is considered to contain significantly less
ecological values than the area immediately surrounding the Site. A habitat assessment and Significant
species occurrence likelihood assessment was undertaken. The result of the likelihood assessment
indicates that a number of highly mobile significant species may occur within the Site. However, impact on
these species is likely to be minimal. However, the Site is identified as containing and being mapped as
koala habitat which requires offsets.
The proposed design should minimise impact of mature koala habitat trees with removal of individuals
requiring an offset. Mapping of koala habitat trees should be undertaken following onsite marking of the
proposed impact area.
9.1 Koala Habitat Financial offsets
Due to minimal available land within the site surrounding the proposed construction. A proponent driven
offset is identified as impractical for this Site and for the applicant. The applicant wishes to undertake a
financial settlement offset with Noosa Shire Council under the Queensland Governments Offsets Policy
(Version 1.1) December 2014 for 1.01 hectares of Koala habitat.
