    6.3.2 Remnant Vegetation

    Under the VMA, the subject site is     mapped as predominantly ’Plantation Forest’ and
    containing small portions of Remnant Vegetation that is an ’of concern’ regional
    ecosystem and Remnant Vegetation that is a ’least concern’ regional ecosystem (refer to
    Figure 6.2 below). Parts of this vegetation are also identified as being Essential Habitat.
    The proposed development will not require a permit or notification to the DNRM as, it is
    located in a cleared area, approximately 300 m from the assessable vegetation, and the
    proposal does not require removal of any significant vegetation.

    6.4          State Planning Policy Framework

    A State Planning                  Policy (SPP)is a statutory instrument developed by the Queensland
    State Government under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (or the former Integrated
    Planning Act 1997) on matters of State interest. SPPs apply when development is
    assessed, land is designated for community infrastructure, and when proposed                      new

r
    planning schemes are made or amended under the SPA. The SPP’s below are current.
    State planning policies developed under the Integrated Planning Act 1997 remain current
    under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. There are currently twelve (12) active SPPs,
    one   (1)of which apply to the proposed development, as demonstrated in Table 6.1 below.
