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.
