2.2.3.7 Coastal Hazard Mapping
Queensland coastal hazard areas maps show areas within the Coastal Management District
that are vulnerable to coastal erosion or storm tide inundation.


2.2.3.8 Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map
The protected plants flora survey trigger map shows high risk areas for protected plants.
High risk areas represent areas where endangered, vulnerable or near threatened plants
are known to exist or are likely to exist. Clearing in high risk areas may require a flora
survey and/or clearing permit.



2.3 Results
2.3.1 Literature Review
Previous fauna surveys conducted by WBM Oceanics (2001) on the Bayview-Noosa
development immediately adjacent to the subject site were reviewed. During surveys
conducted by WBM Oceanics five (5) significant species were recorded in the locality as
shown in TABLE 1.

2.3.2 Database Searches
2.3.2.1 Threatened Flora Species and Ecological Communities
Database searches using the Commonwealth PMST identified seventeen (17) threatened
flora species that may occur within 10km of the subject site based on the availability of
suitable habitat in the locality. The DEHP Wildlife Online database indicated that twenty-
three (23) threatened flora species have been recorded from within 10km of the subject
site.

Threatened flora species detected in the database searches are listed in TABLE 22. The
conservation status of each species listed in TABLE 2 2 is shown in accordance with the
Commonwealth EPBC Act (1999) and Queensland Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation
(NCWR, 2006).
