Concept Covenant Area Rehabilitation Plan - 60 Glenridge Drive Cooroibah v1

 

 

 

This Vegetation Management and Covenant Area Rehabilitation Plan has been prepared to satisfy Condition 7-8 & 13-15 of the Development
Approval (Council Reference RAL 21/0033) issued for Lot 47 on RP&06577 located at 60 Glenridge Drive, Cooroibah.

Conditions 7-8 state;

“The application materia! details 10.86ha of environment covenant area and rehabilitation with a Revegetation and Rehabilitation Management
Plan proposed as part of the Operational Works Application. Limited information regarding the rehabilitation outcomes has been included within
the application material.

Information Required

7. Provide further information as to the areas of the site to be revegetated.
8. Provide a Rehabilitation Concept Plan.”

Conditions 13-15 state:

“The Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Pian v1 (pg. 22) recommends that the proposed access/egress road is required to meet
additional road design recommendations due to an increased risk of having only ane access in and out. No detail regarding the road design, the
10m low Hammability species buffer and how it may impact the rehabilitation and future biodiversity of the site is provided.

Information Required
13. Provide @ plan that includes the proposed lots, roads, covenant boundaries and the 10m low flammability species boundary.

14. Include the selection of low flammability species that would be included within this 10m area and how low flammability species meet the
proposed vegetation community.

15. Detail whether management activities would be required to ensure safety and meet the bushfire hazard assessment requirements within the
10m low flammability area e.g. clearing/mowing undergrowth and low shrubs or if this area would be allowed to return to a natural state with no
management other than pest control.”

This Plan prescribes the various rehabilitation methodologies required to meet this condition and to enhance the ecological resilience of the
rehabilitation area.

REHABILITATION OBJECTIVES

1. The primary objective of the rehabilitation program is to restore and enhance floristic and structural integrity to the proposed Vegetation
Protection Covenant Area.

2. Objective 1 will be achieved via targeted treatment of exotic weed taxa and comprehensive revegetation works (where necessary).
OVERALL RESTORATION STRATEGY

The Covenant Area comprises a total area of 9.95ha and predominantly consists of a harvested agricultural land that has either been sown with
grass seed or exhibits bare earth, however. some remnant vegetated areas remain.

The vegetated areas contained a low level of weed presence. Overall, the vegetated areas onsite contains a high in-situ ecological resilience.
An ‘assisted natural regeneration’ management approach (as defined within the South-East Queensland Ecological Restoration Framework) is
anticipated to be required within these vegetated areas alongside comprehensive revegetation works in the remaining unvegetated covenant
areas.
