3.8       WILDNET DATABASE SEARCH
The Wildnet database contains flora and fauna records provided by government agencies, researchers,
business, natural resource management bodies and citizen science programs. A search of the Wildnet
database was undertaken prior to the field assessment using a 2km search radius around a centre point
within the site. The database returned results for the following conservation significant flora and fauna
species which have been recorded within 2km of the site.
Flora
         Acacia attenuata (attenuate wattle) – vulnerable (NC Act & EPBC Act)
         Eucalyptus conglomerata (swamp stringybark) – endangered (NC Act & EPBC Act
         Symplocos harroldii (hairy hazelwood) – near threatened (NC Act)
Fauna
         Adelotus brevis (tusked frog) – vulnerable (NC Act)
         Crinia tinnula (wallum froglet) – vulnerable (NC Act)
         Calyptorhynchus lathami lathami (glossy black cockatoo) – vulnerable (NC Act & EPBC Act)
         Phascolarctos cinereus (koala) – endangered (NC Act & EPBC Act)
3.9       EPBC PROTECTED MATTERS SEARCH
The EPBC Act Protected Matters Search uses bio-climatic modelling to predict where protected matters
may be present in an area and therefore does not necessarily indicate the actual recorded presence of
protected matters. A search of the Protected Matters database was undertaken prior to the field
assessment, using a 2km search radius around a centre point within the site. The database returned
results for the following Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) which have the potential
to be present within 2km of the site:
Threatened Ecological Communities
         Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia (critically endangered)
         Coastal Swamp Sclerophyll Forest of New South Wales and South East Queensland (endangered)
         Coastal Swamp Oak (Casuarina glauca) Forest of New South Wales and South East Queensland
          ecological community (endangered)
         Subtropical eucalypt floodplain forest and woodland of the New South Wales North Coast and
          South East Queensland bioregions (endangered)
Listed Threatened Species
         24 threatened flora species
         41 threatened fauna species
Migratory Species
         Migratory marine bird species
         Migratory terrestrial species
         Migratory wetland species
