                           Ecological Assessment – Attunga Heights



The database incorporates information from a range of sources including government,
research and community organisations. It should be noted that there are limitations on the
accuracy of some matters reported by the PMST. Database records of threatened and
migratory species are based on their current known distribution and do not necessarily
correlate to an actual observation. Database records are an indicator of potential presence
only and do not take into account if suitable vegetation, geology, soil, climate or habitat
types are actually present to support the occurrence of a significant species or community.

The Commonwealth PMST was used to determine the suite of threatened flora and fauna,
migratory species and threatened ecological communities that were likely to be present
within a 10 km radius of the subject site.


2.2.2.3 DEHP Wildlife Online
The DEHP Wildlife Online database contains recorded wildlife sightings and listings of
plants, fungi, protists, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fish, marine
cartilaginous fish and butterflies in Queensland. The database is based on collated species
lists and wildlife records acquired by the Queensland government through a range of
sources including specimen collections, research and monitoring programs and community
wildlife recording programs.

The DEHP Wildlife Online database was consulted to determine the variety of threatened
flora and fauna species known to occur within a 10 km radius of the subject site.


2.2.3 DEHP Environmental Mapping
2.2.3.1 Background
The following environmental mapping was reviewed as part of the desktop assessment:
   •   Regulated Vegetation Management Mapping;
   •   Regional Ecosystem (RE) and High Value Regrowth Mapping (version 10.1);
   •   Property Map of Assessable Vegetation (PMAVs) Mapping;
   •   Essential Habitat Mapping (version 7.02);
   •   Map of Referable Wetlands and Wetland Protection Areas;
   •   State Planning Regulatory Provisions (SPRP) and State Planning Provisions (SPP)
       Koala Habitat Mapping;
   •   Coastal Hazard Mapping; and
   •   Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map.

DNRME and DEHP environmental mapping was obtained from the respective websites using
the Lot and Plan numbers of the subject site.
