Appendix H - Biodiversity Code

                                                                                                   Native Foresters



A small population of Endangered Swamp crayfish (Tenuibranchiurus glypticus) (as listed in NC
Act) was observed in the Melaleuca wetland, when 37 millimetres of rain resulted in temporal
inundation of the area between the carpark and eastern site boundary. The location of Swamp
crayfish is shown in Figure 8 and Appendix A. Further information on the species and its
habitat is contained in Section 4.6.

A list of fauna present in the survey area is provided in Table 3. Seasonal variation in fauna
populations, particularly amphibians, will occur as a result of species dispersal and recruitment
following localised rainfall and/or flooding.
