10. STATUS
There are three different status types for all properties in the LfWSEQ program:
    • Registered
    • Working Towards Registration
    • De-registered

A LfW property has only one status at any point in time. A LfW property’s status may change over
time, see Section 10.4 – Change of Status.

Registered and Working Towards Registration properties receive full access to LfW services and
products, with two exceptions: only Registered properties are offered a LfW sign and/or a LfW
Certificate.

10.1 Registered
    • Must have a minimum of 1 hectare of Retained Habitat
      (City of Gold Coast, Fraser Coast Regional Council, Gympie Regional Council, Ipswich City
      Council, Lockyer Valley Regional Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council, Noosa Council,
      Redland City Council, Scenic Rim Regional Council, Somerset Regional Council and Sunshine
      Coast Council).

    •   Must have a minimum property size of 1 hectare plus minimum of 0.5 hectares of Retained
        Habitat (Logan City Council).

    •   Must have a minimum of 0.5 hectares of Retained Habitat (Brisbane City Council).

    Examples of Registered properties include:
        - Rural or peri-urban properties with patches of bushland that are in good ecological
           condition (the ecosystem is functioning/stable and is a representation of the Regional
           Ecosystem).
        - A property with human-modified ecosystems, such as grasslands, constructed
           landscapes and dams that are managed primarily for nature conservation and provide
           significant habitat for wildlife but cannot be categorised as a Regional Ecosystem.
        - A strategically located property that provides modest natural habitat but offers
           significant community conservation benefits and has strong landholder commitment to
           nature conservation.
        - A native tree plantation (with species consistent with the Regional Ecosystem) that is
           not going to be harvested and shows ecosystem functions such as an understorey and
           provision of diverse wildlife habitat.
