                     3.1.1. Matters of National Environmental Significance

           The following MNES were found to be applicable to the project area:

                •    Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Wetlands; approx. 40-50km downstream)
                •    Three [3] Listed Threatened Ecological Communities
                •    Fifty-four [54] Listed Threatened Species
                •    Fifteen [15] Listed Migratory Species.

           Other matters protected under the EPBC Act relating to the Site includes twenty-two [22] Listed
           Marine Species and the nearby Yurol Nature Refuge. The Site is not expected to support any Listed
           Threatened Ecological Communities. The likelihood of occurrence of threatened species is detailed
           in Table 1, where desktop records are ground-truthed against on-Site findings. The EPBC Act
           Protected Matters Report is available in APPENDIX I Protected Matters.



                     3.1.2. Matters of State Environmental Significance

           The following MSES were found to occur on, or relate to, the project area:

                •    7a Threatened (endangered or vulnerable) wildlife (0.76ha or 21.7% of the subject lot)
                •    7b Special least concern animals (0.76ha or 21.7% of the subject lot)
                •    7c i Koala habitat area - core (SEQ) (0.72ha or 20.6% of the subject lot)
                •    8a Regulated Vegetation - Endangered/Of concern in Category B (remnant) (0.76ha or 21.7%
                     of the subject lot)
                •    8c Regulated Vegetation - Category R (GBR riverine regrowth) (0.28ha or 8.0% of the subject

                •    8e Regulated Vegetation - intersecting a watercourse (0.3km)

           All Regulated Vegetation and Koala habitat area applicable to the Site is located outside of the
           proposed area of works. The MSES Environmental Report is available in APPENDIX I Protected
