                     3.1.4. Fauna

           A search of the PMST and WildNet databases was undertaken, identifying the species listed as
           CREVNT under the NC Act and/or the EPBC Act that have potential to occur within 5 km of the project
           area.

           Searches returned a total of sixty-two [62] CREVNT fauna species. This included seven [7]
           amphibians, nineteen [19] birds, thirteen [13] mammals, seven [7] reptiles, one [1] insect and fifteen
           [15] migratory species. These search tools rate the likelihood of occurrence from ‘may occur’, ‘likely
           to occur’ to ‘known to occur’ based on the presence of suitable habitat for foraging and/or breeding.

           Due to the large list of species returned via this tool, an additional assessment was undertaken,
           considering:

                 •    whether the Site contained suitable breeding/roosting locations for the species; and
                 •    whether the Site contained suitable foraging resources for the species.

           Assessments determined that ten [10] species have a moderate to high likelihood of occurring within
           the study area (Table 1). The clearing area is not expected to contain suitable habitat to support any
           conservation significant species. Some species detailed in Table 1 may occur nearby, however are
           unlikely to be found within the development area. Furthermore, the building envelopes have been
           sited such that vegetation clearing and earthworks is not expected to impact on threatened ecological
           communities or wildlife habitat as listed under national, state or local legislative frameworks.
