3.5 Essential habitat
Protected wildlife is native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA), and includes endangered,
vulnerable or near-threatened wildlife.

Essential habitat for protected wildlife includes suitable habitat on the lot, or where a species has been known to occur up to
1.1 kilometres from a lot on which there is assessable vegetation. These important habitat areas are protected under the
VMA.

Any essential habitat on this property will be shown as blue hatching on the vegetation supporting map in section 5.2.

If essential habitat is identified on the lot, information about the protected wildlife species is provided in Table 6 below. The
numeric labels on the vegetation management supporting map can be cross referenced with Table 6 to outline the essential
habitat factors for that particular species. There may be essential habitat for more than one species on each lot, and areas of
Category A, Category B and Category C can be mapped as Essential Habitat.

Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records. Regional
ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated. Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means an
area of vegetation shown on the Regulated Vegetation Management Map as assessable vegetation -
       1) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors
       that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat database. Essential habitat factors are
       comprised of - regional ecosystem (mandatory for most species), vegetation community, altitude, soils, position in
       landscape; or
       2) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.


If there is no essential habitat mapping shown on the vegetation management supporting map for this lot, and there is no
table in the sections below, it confirms that there is no essential habitat on the lot.
