Ecological Assessment Report v1 NCES REF: J000436
Lot 500 on SP215779 – 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
North Coast Environmental Services was commissioned by Sunshine Beach Constructions Pty Ltd
to prepare an Ecological Assessment Report for Lot 500 on SP215779 located at 90 Beach Road,
Noosa North Shore (‘the site’). The report was requested to identify the environmental values of the
site and ultimately to determine the ecological compliance of a proposed Material Change of Use
development application for Visitor Accommodation. The outcomes of the environmental
investigations identified that:
• The site supports local and State level biodiversity values.
• The site is mapped as containing Environmental Protection Areas on the Noosa Plan 2006
Biodiversity Overlay Map.
DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
• The site contains vegetation regulated under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 including
Category B remnant vegetation and Category C high value regrowth vegetation.
• No conservation significant flora or fauna species protected under the NC Act and/or the
EPBC Act were identified within the site.
The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be
compliant as follows:
• Noosa Plan 2006 Biodiversity Overlay Code
o Potentially compliant subject to Council acceptance of clearing mapped
Environmental Protection Areas.
• Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Further compliance required:
o An Exempt Clearing Notification and Flora Survey Report are required to be prepared
and submitted to DES at least one week prior to vegetation clearing and within twelve
months of the date of the site flora survey (i.e. before 26 July 2020).
o A fauna spotter/catcher is required to be present during vegetation clearing.
• Vegetation Management Act 1999
o Application referral to SARA is not required based on correspondence from DSDMIP
that the Noosa Plan Visitor Mixed Use zone qualifies as an urban area and therefore
the application satisfies the urban area urban purpose exempt clearing criteria.
• Schedule 11 of the Planning Regulation 2017 (Assessment benchmarks for development in
koala habitat area)
o No further assessment is required.
• Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999
o No threatened flora species or threatened ecologically communities were identified.
The amount of clearing proposed is considered unlikely to trigger a significant impact
to any potential faunal matters of national environmental significance if present within
the site.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned to prepare an Ecological Assessment
Report (EAR) for Lot 500 on SP215779 located at 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore (referenced
hereafter as ‘the site’). The EAR was requested to identify the environmental values of the site and
to determine the ecological compliance of a proposed Material Change of Use development
application for Visitor Accommodation to be submitted to Noosa Shire Council. The scope of works
addressed in this report comprises:
• A desktop assessment of the potential ecological planning constraints acting on the site;
DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
• A site inspection to ‘ground truth’ the results of the desktop findings;
• A flora and fauna habitat survey of the site;
• A discussion of the likely impacts of the proposed development on the ecological resources
identified through the desktop and field investigations;
• Analysis of compliance with relevant government environmental assessment frameworks
identified through the desktop assessment process; and
• Identification of suitable mitigation measures to minimise the environmental impacts of the
proposed development and to assist in securing relevant development permits.
1.2 Development Proposal
The development proposes construction of one visitor accommodation dwelling and a private lagoon.
A site Masterplan has been developed by Tim Ditchfield Architects (refer Appendix 1). The visitor
accommodation is proposed as a two-storey dwelling to be sited in the far south-west corner of the
site with the private lagoon to be constructed in the south-east corner of the site.
1.3 Site Description
The site measures 14,8576.39 ha and is located on the Noosa North Shore within a predominantly
vegetated landscape. The site is currently unimproved and predominately host to native bushland,
excluding an existing sewage treatment plant that services the westerly adjoining Noosa North Shore
Retreat accommodation facility. Beach Road borders the site’s northern boundary with a commercial
campground located north-west of the site. Existing fire management trails are present along the
eastern and southern site boundary and interspersed throughout the site. Large expanses of native
vegetation contained within National Park tenure are present to the east and south of the site. (refer
to Plate 1).

1.4 Topography
The site ranges in elevation from 10m to 20m ASL and is characterised by a broad low ridgeline
which flanks the south-western site extent. Gentle slopes of <5 degrees with a predominantly
easterly aspect descend from the crest of the ridgeline to the east onto a broad coastal alluvial plain.

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:
• Noosa Shire Council’s (NSC) Biodiversity Overlay Map of the Noosa Plan 2006;
• The Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy’s (DNRME) Vegetation
Management Supporting Map;
• The Department of Environment and Science’s (DES) Wildlife Online database;
DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
• Koala Assessable Development Areas mapping;
• The Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017;
• The DES Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Area mapping; and
• The Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy’s Environment Protection
and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Protected Matters Search Tool.
2.2 Field Survey
A field survey was undertaken on 26 July 2019 to verify the composition and extent of native plant
species, vegetation communities and fauna habitat within the site. The field survey was undertaken
in general accordance with the timed meander methodology outlined in the former Department of
Environment and Heritage Protection’s Flora Survey Guidelines – Protected Plants (2016). 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 1999.

3.8 The Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy’s Protected Matters
Search Tool
The EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool was queried in August 2019 using a 2km search
radius. The EPBC Protected Matters Search uses bio-climatic modelling to predict where protected
matters may be present in an area and therefore does not necessarily indicate the actual recorded
presence of protected matters.
The EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Result identified that the following Matters of National
Environmental Significance (MNES) have the potential to be present within a 2km radius of the site
(refer to Appendix 2):
• The ‘Endangered’ Coastal Swamp Oak (Casuarina glauca) Forest of New South Wales and
South East Queensland ecological community;
• The ‘critically endangered’ Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia Threatened
Ecological Community;
• 13 threatened flora species;
• 27 threatened terrestrial fauna species; and
• Marine, terrestrial and wetland migratory bird species.
3.9 Surrounding Habitat and Connectivity
The Queensland Globe aerial imagery was reviewed to assess the extent of vegetation/habitat
surrounding the site which has the potential to facilitate dispersal opportunities for flora and fauna
species. The site is located within a landscape that is dominated by native vegetation. The site has
direct connectivity to the east and south with extensive areas of vegetation within National Park.
Beach Road traverses adjacent to the northern site boundary and represents a potential hazard to
fauna movement between the site and extensive areas of vegetation north of the site. Overall, the
site forms a component of a heavily vegetated corridor located between the Noosa River and the
Pacific Ocean (refer to Plate 7).

4 FIELD SURVEY RESULTS
4.1 Flora Species
The site was observed to primarily comprise advanced native regrowth vegetation interspersed with
small cleared areas. A list of dominant flora species observed is presented as Appendix 3.
No flora species of conservation significance (i.e. those listed as ‘endangered’, ‘vulnerable’ or ‘near
threatened’) listed under the NC Act or the EPBC Act were observed within the site during the field
survey. All flora species observed are classed as ‘least concern’ under the NC Act and are common
in the local landscape.
4.2 Restricted Invasive Plant Species
DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
Weeds and introduced species were present within the site in low densities and primarily restricted
to the cleared areas which supported infrastructure or were slashed regularly (refer to 8).
Plate 8 – Cleared areas within the site
The following species listed as Restricted Invasive plant species under the Biosecurity Act 2014
were observed within the site:
• Lantana camara (lantana); and
• Sphagneticola trilobata (Singapore daisy).
4.3 Vegetation Communities
The vegetation on site comprised a woodland community dominated by Eucalyptus racemosa subsp.
racemosa (scribbly gum) with Corymbia trachyphloia (brown bloodwood) and Corymbia intermedia
(pink bloodwood) subdominant. The canopy has attained an average height of 18m – 20m with
projective foliage crown cover of <30%.
The mid-canopy consisted of a mixed association of species such as Angophora leiocarpa (smooth-
barked apple), Allocasuarina littoralis (black she-oak), Callitris columellaris (Bribie Island pine) and
Melaleuca quinquenervia (broad-leaved tea tree). The understorey is characterised by a mid-dense
shrub layer of Leptospermum spp., Leucopogon pimeleoides (bushy whitebeard), Boronia
rosmarinifolia (forest Boronia) over a grass/herb layer with species such as Xanthorrhoea johnsonii
(forest grass tree), Panicum effusum (hairy panic) and Pteridium esculentum (bracken fern).
The vegetation community is consistent with the description for RE 12.9-10.4, which is described as
a Eucalyptus racemosa subsp. racemosa woodland on sedimentary rocks. The distribution of the
RE 12-9-10.4 across the site is consistent with the QLD DNRME Vegetation Supporting Map hence
construction of specific vegetation community mapping for the site was deemed unwarranted.
Plate 9 depicts typical conditions within site.

4.4 Fauna
4.4.1 Fauna Habitat Values
The vegetation within the site is anticipated to hold breeding and/or foraging habitat value for
numerous ‘least concern’ terrestrial, arboreal and avian species as well as the previously recorded
conservation significant Calyptorhynchus lathami lathami (glossy black-cockatoo (eastern)) and
Pteropus poliocephalus (grey-headed flying-fox).
The majority of the trees within the site comprised non-juvenile koala habitat trees, with the southern
extent of the remnant vegetation mapped as containing essential habitat for koalas. Although a
desktop assessment of available koala records for the Noosa North Shore did not return any records
for koalas in the locality, the site is considered to support koala habitat.
The site is bordered to the east and south by wetlands and therefore is anticipated to provide foraging
and dispersal opportunities for amphibian species including the previously recorded conservation
significant species (Crinia tinnula (wallum froglet) and Litoria freycineti (wallum rocketfrog)). The
wetland may provide suitable habitat for the previously recorded Pezoporus wallicus wallicus (ground
parrot) and Tenuibranchiurus glypticus (a freshwater crustacean).
The majority of the mature Eucalyptus racemosa population within the site supported arboreal
hollows which are anticipated to offer suitable breeding habitat for a range of hollow dependant fauna
species.
The site is unlikely to provide high value habitat for the previously recorded migratory bird species
Limosa lapponica baueri (Western Alaskan bar-tailed godwit) and Numenius madagascariensis
(eastern curlew).
A specific fauna survey of the site was not undertaken as part of the scope of works. Nonetheless,
inferences about the composition of the local fauna assemblage can be drawn from local knowledge,
site conditions and database search results. Based on the Wildlife Online database results and
general site observations, bird assemblages represent the greatest observable species richness
within the site.
The site does not support estuarine areas that would provide high value habitat for most wetland
migratory bird species however it is noted such areas are located in proximity to the site.
4.4.2 Habitat for Previously Recorded Conservation Significant Fauna
Table 1 identifies the habitat values observed within the site for the conservation significant fauna
species which have been previously recorded within a 2km radius of the site on Wildlife Online.

5 DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
5.1 Flora and Vegetation Communities On-site
5.1.1 Impacts
A total of approximately 1.41ha (minor recalc required) of vegetation mapped as an Environmental
Protection Area under Noosa Plan 2006 is proposed to be cleared/modified to locate the proposed
new dwelling inclusive of bushfire safety setbacks to achieve a BAL 29 AS 3959:2018 construction
Standard (12m APZ) and the lagoon.
Approximately 3,000m 2 (minor recalc required) is required to be cleared to accommodate the new
dwelling unit inclusive of a 12m bushfire setback to enable a BAL 29 construction standard under
DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
AS 3959:2018. It is noted that only understorey and mid-storey vegetation clearing is anticipated to
be required within the APZ to facilitate AS 3959:2018 low threat vegetation conditions.
Approximately 1.11ha is proposed to be cleared to accommodate the lagoon.
Figure 1 depicts the anticipated extent of impact to vegetation within the site.
The extent of impacts is considered consistent with the intent of the Mixed Use Visitor
Accommodation zoning for the site.
5.1.2 Mitigation Measures
The impact of the development has been mitigated/minimised by:
• Aggregating the dwelling footprint with the existing residential footprint and
disturbed/modified areas associated with the Noosa Northshore Retreat to the west and a
wide National Park firebreak trail to the south;
• Locating the dwelling in a position which can be serviced by existing access trails to the north
and south-west within the adjacent Noosa Northshore Retreat;
• All landscaping is proposed to utilise native species found in the surrounding bushland
environs thereby reducing the risk of weed populations establishing and proliferating in a
pristine area;
• A weed control program will be enacted during and after the works for a period of 6 months
to prevent the spread of weed taxa throughout the site and into adjoining lands.
5.2 Flora Off-site
No direct clearing of the adjoining off-site native vegetation is proposed or deemed necessary. Off-
site vegetation and all vegetation to be retained will be clearly delineated prior to clearing works
commencing. Where vegetation clearing is proposed immediately adjacent to off-site vegetation (i.e.
within the dripline of off-site vegetation), an arborist is to be engaged to undertake a tree hazard
assessment to identify potential impacts and the need for any remediation measures.
5.3 Fauna
5.3.1 Impacts
The potential impacts to fauna species anticipated as a result of the project primarily relate to the
following:
• Removal of native habitat (including an abundance of arboreal hollows) to accommodate
proposed infrastructure;
• Habitat degradation due to increased weed intrusion as a result of introduced edge effects
and site use;
• Injury or death during vegetation clearing; and
• Site intensification for tourism purposes which has the potential to increase long term impacts
to fauna associated with
© 2019 16
Page 18
Ecological Assessment Report v1 NCES REF: J000436
Lot 500 on SP215779 – 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore
o Reduced nocturnal habitat/foraging suitability via introduction of artificial lighting of
external buildings environs; and
o Increased noise impacts and incidence of vehicle strike once the facility is operational.
5.3.2 Mitigation Measures
The impact of the proposed clearing is proposed to be mitigated/minimised by:
• Engagement of a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher during vegetation
clearing to manage fauna impacts;
• Preparation and implementation of a Fauna Management Plan to provide a clear set of
vegetation clearing and fauna management protocols for the operational works phase of the
DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
project;
• All hollows required to be removed shall be salvaged by suitable experienced persons and
appropriately relocated into the surrounding bushland within the site either attached to trees
or as terrestrial ground-storey habitat.
• All landscaping is proposed to utilise native species found in the surrounding bushland
environs thereby re-instating native habitat opportunities for resident fauna;
• A weed control program will be enacted during and after the works for a period of 6 months
to prevent the spread of weed taxa hence habitat degradation throughout the site and
adjoining lands.

dogs on the site hence risk of increased predation of koalas is mitigated. Low
traffic volumes are required throughout the Visitor Mixed Use zone as a general
precaution to limit risk of impact to fauna including koalas.

6.2 State Government
6.2.1 Regulated Vegetation – Vegetation Management Act 1999
DNRME’s Vegetation Management Supporting Map identifies that Least Concern remnant
vegetation is present within the site and is proposed to be cleared. The Department of State
Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning have confirmed that the Noosa Plan
‘Visitor Mixed Use’ Zone at Beach Road, Noosa North Shore qualifies as an ‘urban area’ zoning for
the purposes of applying the ‘urban area urban purpose’ regulated vegetation clearing exemptions
(refer DSDMIP Correspondence Appendix 4). Therefore, the application is not considered to require
referral to the SARA for assessment against State Code 16 Native Vegetation Clearing.
DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
6.2.2 Koala Assessable Development Areas Map
The site is not located within a Koala Assessable Development Area and therefore does not require
assessment under Schedule 11, Part 6 of the Planning Regulation 2017.
6.2.3 Nature Conservation Act 1992
6.2.3.1 Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map
The Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map identifies that the site is located within a ‘high risk
area’ prescribed under the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006.
The flora survey carried out on 26 July 2019 was undertaken in accordance with the flora survey
guidelines and no EVNT flora species were identified within the surveyed extent of the clearing
impact area. The applicant is required under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 to submit an exempt
clearing notification and Flora Survey Report to DES at least one week prior to the clearing being
undertaken and within twelve months of the date of the flora survey (i.e. prior to 26 July 2020).
6.2.3.2 Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017
The site is located within Koala District A under the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan
2017. In this regard, where the clearing of koala habitat trees is proposed, and koalas are identified
within the site, the clearing must be undertaken in accordance with Part 3, Item 10 and Item 11 of
the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 which requires the following:
• The clearing of koala habitat trees is carried out in a way that complies with the sequential
clearing conditions (as defined in the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017).
• The clearing of koala habitat trees having a trunk of a diameter of more than 10cm at 1.3m
above the ground is carried out in the presence of a koala spotter who has the primary role
of locating koalas in the trees to be cleared.
6.2.3.3 Fauna
A fauna spotter/catcher will be required to be present during clearing activities and where active
breeding habitat for least concern native fauna is observed, the applicant will be required to comply
with DES’s Species Management Program – low risk of impacts. A Species Management Program
– High Risk of Impacts will be required where impacts to breeding habitat for NC Act listed fauna
species are anticipated.
6.3 Commonwealth Government
No MNES threatened ecological communities or flora species were identified during the field
investigation. Whilst a fauna survey has not been completed the results of the habitat assessment
infers that the threatened fauna species identified in the Protected Matters Search Report have a
low potential to occur within the site due to the limited amount of suitable habitat and/or a lack of
existing records in the locality. Furthermore, the extent of clearing is unlikely to result in a significant
impact to any populations of the listed EPBC fauna species hence a referral to the Commonwealth
government under the EPBC Act is deemed unnecessary at this time.

7 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 Conclusion
A desktop and field investigation of the environmental values primarily present in the west of Lot 500
on SP215779, located at 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore has been undertaken. The outcomes
of the environmental investigations identified that:
• The site supports local and State level biodiversity values.
• The site is mapped as containing Environmental Protection Areas on the Noosa Plan 2006
Biodiversity Overlay Map.
• The site contains vegetation regulated under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 including
DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
Category B remnant vegetation and Category C high value regrowth vegetation.
• No conservation significant flora or fauna species protected under the NC Act and/or the
EPBC Act were identified within the site.
The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be
compliant as follows:
• Noosa Plan 2006 Biodiversity Overlay Code
o Potentially compliant subject to Council acceptance of clearing mapped
Environmental Protection Areas.
• Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Further compliance required:
o An Exempt Clearing Notification and Flora Survey Report are required to be prepared
and submitted to DES at least one week prior to vegetation clearing and within twelve
months of the date of the site flora survey (i.e. before 26 July 2020).
o A fauna spotter/catcher is required to be present during vegetation clearing.
• Vegetation Management Act 1999
o Application referral to SARA is not required based on correspondence from DSDMIP
that the Noosa Plan Visitor Mixed Use zone qualifies as an urban area and therefore
the application satisfies the urban area urban purpose exempt clearing criteria.
• Schedule 11 of the Planning Regulation 2017 (Assessment benchmarks for development in
koala habitat area)
o No further assessment is required.
• Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999
o No threatened flora species or threatened ecologically communities were identified.
The amount of clearing proposed is considered unlikely to trigger a significant impact
to any potential faunal matters of national environmental significance if present within
the site.
7.2 Recommendations
The following recommendations are provided to reduce environmental impacts and assist with
securing legislative approvals for the proposed development:
• Preparation and implementation of a Fauna Management Plan to provide a clear set of
vegetation clearing and fauna management protocols for the operational works phase of the
project;
• Engagement of a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher during vegetation
clearing to manage fauna impacts;
• All hollows required to be removed shall be salvaged by suitable experienced persons and
appropriately relocated into the surrounding bushland within the site either attached to trees
or as terrestrial ground-storey habitat.

Lot 500 on SP215779 – 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore
• A weed control program will be enacted during and after the works for a period of 6 months
to prevent the spread of weed taxa throughout the site and adjoining lands.
• Operational clearance of vegetation occurs in a manner which minimises impact to vegetation
to be retained and (when applicable) is undertaken in accordance with the Nature
Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017.
• Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures are employed during site clearing and
any earthworks to mitigate the risk of impacts to nearby water quality.
• A Landscape Plan is developed to direct appropriate landscaping post construction and
landscaping comprises suitable local native species.
• An Exempt Clearing Notification and Flora Survey Report are submitted to DES at least one

Summary Matters of National Environmental Significance This part of the report summarises the matters of national environmental significance that may occur in, or may relate to, the area you nominated. Further information is available in the detail part of the report, which can be accessed by scrolling or following the links below. If you are proposing to undertake an activity that may have a significant impact on one or more matters of national environmental significance then you should consider the Administrative Guidelines on Significance. World Heritage Properties: None National Heritage Places: None Wetlands of International Importance: None Great Barrier Reef Marine Park: None Commonwealth Marine Area: None Listed Threatened Ecological Communities: 2 Listed Threatened Species: 40 Listed Migratory Species: 21 Other Matters Protected by the EPBC Act This part of the report summarises other matters protected under the Act that may relate to the area you nominated. Approval may be required for a proposed activity that significantly affects the environment on Commonwealth land, when the action is outside the Commonwealth land, or the environment anywhere when the action is taken on Commonwealth land. Approval may also be required for the Commonwealth or Commonwealth agencies proposing to take an action that is likely to have a significant impact on the environment anywhere. The EPBC Act protects the environment on Commonwealth land, the environment from the actions taken on Commonwealth land, and the environment from actions taken by Commonwealth agencies. As heritage values of a place are part of the 'environment', these aspects of the EPBC Act protect the Commonwealth Heritage values of a Commonwealth Heritage place. Information on the new heritage laws can be found at http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage A permit may be required for activities in or on a Commonwealth area that may affect a member of a listed threatened species or ecological community, a member of a listed migratory species, whales and other cetaceans, or a member of a listed marine species.

Caveat
The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report.
This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of International
and National Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened
ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various
resolutions.
Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data
supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making
a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.
For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote
sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point
location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.
Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been derived through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and if
time permits, maps are derived using either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc) together with point
locations and described habitat; or environmental modelling (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental data
layers.
Where very little information is available for species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04
or 0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull);
or captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc). In the early stages of the distribution mapping
process (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to rapidly create distribution maps. More reliable
distribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions as time permits.
Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:
- migratory and
- marine
The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database:
- threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants
- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed
- some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area
- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers
The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:
- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites
- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent
Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

Vegetation Management Act 1999 - Extract from the essential habitat database
Essential habitat is required for assessment under the:
• State Development Assessment Provisions - State Code 16: Native vegetation clearing which sets out the matters of interest to the state for development assessment under the Planning Act 2016;
and
• Accepted development 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 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, Mines and Energy website (http://www.dnrme.qld.gov.au) has more information on how the layer is applied under the State Development Assessment Provisions - State
Code 16: 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) 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) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.
Protected wildlife includes endangered, vulnerable or near-threatened native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.

Protected plants flora survey trigger map The protected plants flora survey trigger map identifies 'high risk areas' where endangered, vulnerable or near threatened plants are known to exist or are likely to exist. Under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (the Act) it is an offence to clear protected plants that are 'in the wild' unless you are authorised or the clearing is exempt, for more information see section 89 of the Act. Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for information on what exemptions may apply in your circumstances, whether you may need to undertake a flora survey, and whether you may need a protected plants clearing permit. Updates to the data informing the flora survey trigger map The flora survey trigger map will be reviewed, and updated if necessary, at least every 12 months to ensure the map reflects the most up-to-date and accurate data available. Species information Please note that flora survey trigger maps do not identify species associated with 'high risk areas'. While some species information may be publicly available, for example via the Queensland Spatial Catalogue, the Department of Environment and Science does not provide species information on request. Regardless of whether species information is available for a particular high risk area, clearing plants in a high risk area may require a flora survey and/or clearing permit. Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for more information.

Subject: RE: Noosa Plan Visitor Mixed Use Zone Urban Area query
Hi Josh,
Sorry for the delayed response. To confirm, the Visitor Mixed Use Zone in the Noosa Plan is considered
Urban.
I note that this determination is based on a scheme-by-scheme interpretation of the intent of the zoning. My
DRAFT NOT FOR SUBMISSION PURPOSES
review of the Noosa Plan is that the Visitor Mixed Use Zone is in the Residential Zone Class and the
Assessment Table for the Visitor Mixed Use Zone would confirm that the zone is intended for urban
purposes.
I trust this information is helpful.
Kind regards,
