attributes of the site are not considered to be specifically preferred by these species and
accordingly, the potential impact of the development on these species is likely to be negligible.
Furthermore, more extensive areas of suitable habitat, which are available in relatively close
proximity to the development site, will continue to provide habitat for these species should they

exist in this area.

State Government Requirements

NCWR 1994
Two species previously recorded in the general vicinity of the development, including the Red

Goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus) and Cotton Pygmy-goose (Nettapus coromandelianus) are
listed under the schedules of the NCWR 1994 as endangered and rare respectively. As mentioned
above however, the suitability of the development site as habitat for these species is considered

to be marginal with extensive areas of more suitable habitat available in relatively close
