2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 7 - Final New Noosa Plan - Part 8-10 Schedule Appendix - Clean version

                   (I)    special biodiversity values;
                   (J)    corridors; and
                   (K)    threatening process.

    (f)   The Noosa Plan – Biodiversity Overlay Category
          (i)      The subject property should be located on the relevant Locality Plan maps contained within The Noosa Plan to
                   determine if the subject property is captured by any attribute associated with the Biodiversity, Waterways and
                   Wetlands Overlay Map. Further information regarding the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay and the
                   Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions can be found in ‘Part 8–Overlays’ of The Noosa Plan.

    (g)   Outputs—
          (i)      For a Protected Plants Flora Survey Report must include:
          (ii)     Certification by the suitably qualified person whom led and coordinated the flora survey, as follows “I certify that (a) I
                   have adhered to all statutory requirements and flora survey guideline requirements, and (b) the flora survey report is
                   an accurate and full account of the flora survey”.
          (iii)    Full name, signature of the suitably qualified person, and date of signing.
          (iv)     Documentation to support that they are a suitably qualified person.
          (v)      A detailed map or plan of the area, showing the area to be cleared, the buffer zone, the properties included and
                   excluded from the survey area.
          (vi)     Justification/s for removing any area/s from the buffer zone under section 249(2) of Flora Survey Guidelines ­
                   Protected Plants (Nature Conservation Act 1992), or section (2) of this guideline.
          (vii)    A GIS shapefile of the area to be cleared.
          (viii)   A GIS shapefile (map) of the different habitat types identified for the clearing impact area and the GPS data showing
                   the on­ground surveys undertaken.
          (ix)     The lists compiled during desktop assessment of habitat types and EVNT plants that may occur in these habitat
                   types.
          (x)      The flora survey method selected and justification that the method was appropriately comprehensive considering the
                   lists compiled during desktop assessment.
          (xi)     A detailed map or plan of the area, showing the habitat types, the location of EVNT plants and possible EVNT plants
                   found.
          (xii)    Details from EVNT population/plot surveys for each EVNT plant and possible EVNT plant found.
          (xiii)   A description of all possible EVNT plants found, including their supporting habitat.
          (xiv)    Justification of the timing of the flora survey and detail of any limitations associated with the timing of the survey
          (xv)     Justification for any alternative plot size used.
          (xvi)    Dates any clearing is proposed to occur.

    (h)   Flora Survey that is not Protected Plants must include:
          (i)      A detailed list of all flora species (terrestrial and aquatic) and abundances of flora species for each regional
                   ecosystem, encompassing structure and species composition, nature and extent of non­native plants, health and
                   ecological condition, extrinsic values, etc;
          (ii)     List of target species (EVNT, Threatened and Significant) which have a potential to utilise the site;
          (iii)    Identification description and mapping of vegetation associations / Regional Ecosytems currently occurring on the
                   site. The conservation status of regional ecosystems acknowledged by the current Queensland Herbarium should
                   be noted. The map should also indicate the locations of waterways and wetlands, including artificial wetlands or
                   wetlands that may have been modified;
          (iv)     Description of the structural and spatial floral diversity;
          (v)      A description of the level and extent of weed infestation and/or disturbances; and
          (vi)     An assessment of the extrinsic values. This may include proximity of site to any bioregional or statewide corridors.
          (vii)    An assessment of the biodiversity significance (State, Regional, Local) in accordance with the SEQ Biodiversity
                   Planning Assessment and detail the information that derived the conclusion; and
          (viii)   Assessment against The Noosa Plan Biodiversity Overlay Code.
