2 Property description and proposed works
Located on the western shore of Lake Cootharaba, the property is a rectangular polygon with an area of
approximately 7.92 hectares (ha). The lot is bound by state forest to the north and east, a rural allotment
to the south and Louis Bazzo Drive to the west. An existing shed with on-site wastewater disposal is
situated in the north-west corner of the lot. The land is partly cleared, with the balance supporting natural
vegetation. A system of constructed canals and dams with in-stream islands surrounds a raised clearing in
the south-east quadrant.
ESC Consulting understands the proponents intend to construct a new single storey dwelling house with
attached garage and Home Sewage Treatment Plant (HSTP) within the raised clearing (refer FIGURE 2).
Access to the proposed residence will be facilitated via an existing gravel driveway extending from Louis
Bazzo Drive.

3 Methodology
3.1 Desktop Assessment
ESC Consulting completed a desktop assessment of relevant environmental legislation in order to:
▪ Identify known records or potential occurrences of Matters of National Environmental Significance
(MNES), Matters of State Environmental Significance (MSES) and Matters of Local Environmental
Significance (MLES), including significant flora and fauna species, threatened ecological communities,
Regional Ecosystems (RE) and essential habitat;
▪ Analyse Commonwealth, State and Local government environmental legislation which may be
triggered by proposed works;
▪ Review mapping under the State Development and Assessment Provisions (SDAP) and Noosa
20261016 PPL25_Ecological Assessment Letter Report_v1.0 – page 3
Page 4
Council’s overlays; and
▪ Assess the proposed works against Queensland’s Planning Regulation 2017 koala assessment
provisions where relevant and with respect to applicable clearing exemptions.
3.2 Field Survey
Prior to ESC Consulting’s engagement vegetation removal had already taken place in preparation for the
construction of the dwelling house (refer PLATE 1). Field work was therefore limited to a 10m buffer
surrounding the earthworks. This field survey extent is shown in FIGURE 2 and is herein referred to as the
“Site”.
TREE #10
Plate 1: Cleared area looking south-east
On 8 September 2026 one (1) ESC Consulting ecologist completed a field assessment to:
▪ Identify, tag and flag all Non-juvenile koala habitat trees (NJKHT)1 and all other trees with a trunk
Diameter at Standard Height (DSH) of 150mm or greater within the Site.
▪ Conduct a basic field survey to assess:
− Significant native vegetation communities and/or individual trees;
− Site habitat qualities including the collection of evidence of fauna use (e.g. scratches, diggings,
nests, scats, etc.);
1 As defined in the Queensland Environmental Offsets Policy v1.17:
koala habitat tree means a tree of the Angophora; Blakella, Corymbia; Eucalyptus; Lophostemon or Melaleuca
genera.
non-juvenile koala habitat tree means a koala habitat tree that—
(i) is more than 4m high; or
(ii) has a trunk circumference of more than 31.5cm at 1.3m above the ground.
20261016 PPL25_Ecological Assessment Letter Report_v1.0 – page 4

− Vegetation that provides an important food source or shelter (e.g. nesting/hollows) for native
fauna;
− Weed infestations; and
− Waterway/overland flows.
▪ Determine the ecological functionality and integrity of the Site and surrounding influences (i.e. wildlife
movement corridors, edge effects, etc.).
3.3 Impact Assessment
Based on the findings of the field survey and desktop assessment, an assessment was made of the
potential impacts from the proposed works on the Site’s ecological values and features and mitigation
strategies were recommended where appropriate.
4 Desktop Assessment
The database searches and maps for MNES and MSES are provided at APPENDIX A. MLES mapping
details and a précis of all the findings are available at APPENDIX B.
In summary:
▪ The Protected Matters Search Tool under the Commonwealth’s Environment Protection and
Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) returned four (4) ecological communities, 23 flora and
63 fauna species within a 1 kilometre (km) radius of the property.
▪ The WildNet database search under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act) returned
two (2) state-threatened fauna species within a 1km radius of the property:
− Glossy Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami), Vulnerable – one (1) record; and
− Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), Endangered – seven (7) records.
No state-threatened flora species were reported.
Using the same search parameters:
− The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) database2 returned five (5) occurrences for Koala; and
− The Koala Hospital Data3 listed one (1) record between the years 1996 to 2025.
The most recent proximate Koala sighting was reported from the WildNet and ALA datasets on
18/10/2024 approx. 315m north-west of the property.
▪ Of the 86 threatened flora and fauna species reported, one (1) flora species and five (5) fauna species
have been assessed with the potential to utilise the available habitat within the field-surveyed Site
from time to time:
− Lesser Swamp-orchid (Phaius australis), Endangered (EPBC), Endangered (NC Act);
− South-eastern Glossy Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami lathami), Vulnerable (EPBC Act),
Vulnerable (NC Act);
− White-throated Needletail (Hirundapus caudacutus), Vulnerable (EPBC Act), Vulnerable (NC Act);
− Grey-headed Flying-fox (Pteropus poliocephalus), Vulnerable (EPBC Act), Least Concern (NC Act);
− Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), Endangered (EPBC Act), Endangered (NC Act); and
− Wallum Sedge Frog (Drymomantis olongburensis listed as Litoria olongburensis), Vulnerable

(EPBC Act), Vulnerable (NC Act).
▪ Under Queensland’s Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA), approx. 6% of the property is mapped
as Category B (remnant vegetation) comprising 0.5ha of Least Concern RE 12.3.5 Melaleuca
quinquenervia open forest on coastal alluvium. The balance (approx. 94%) is mapped as Category X
(non-regulated vegetation).
− The mapped areas of remnant vegetation are identified as Essential Habitat for Koala, Wallum
Froglet (Crinia tinnula) and Wallum Rocket Frog (Litoria freycineti).
− The technical description for RE 12.3.5 is known to provide potential habitat for Lesser Swamp-
orchid (Phaius australis) and Yellow Swamp-orchid (Phaius bernaysii), both listed as Endangered
under the NC Act.
− No watercourse/drainage features are mapped across the property.
▪ The property falls entirely within a Koala priority area (KPA). The mapped Category B vegetation is
classified as Core koala habitat area (KHA) under the Queensland Planning Act 2016 (approx. 4,988m2
along the northern and eastern boundaries).
▪ The mapped Category B areas are classified as a High Risk Area for protected plants under the NC
Act.
▪ A narrow extent along the northern and eastern boundaries is mapped as a Wetland of high
ecological significance under the Environmental Protection Regulation 2019 (Qld).
▪ The property is subject to several environmentally relevant overlays under the Noosa Plan including
the Biodiversity, waterways and wetlands overlay (Area of biodiversity significance). The Bushfire
hazard overlay, Flood hazard overlay and Land subject to acid sulfate soils overlay also apply to the
property, however, these are not addressed within the scope of this report.
A more detailed commentary of the desktop findings cross-referenced with the on-Site ecological survey
results is provided in SECTION 6.
5 Ecological Field Assessment
5.1 Flora and Vegetation Communities
Field investigations identified three (3) broad vegetation communities (VC) within the survey extent:
Cleared Area (VC1), Landscaped Gardens (VC2) and Broad-leaved Paperbark Open Forest (VC3) (refer
FIGURE 3).
Vegetation Community 1 (VC1) – Cleared Area
Occupying approx. 4,509m2, this vegetation community consists of the disturbed areas associated with
the recent clearing for the house site.
The emerging ground stratum (0.0.4m) across the VC extent is patchy and comprises a mix of native and
exotic grasses, sedges and forbs. A line of retained eucalypts fringes the southern extent of the clearing.
Refer to PLATE 1 and PLATE 2.
Vegetation Community 2 (VC2) – Landscaped Garden
Flanking the western edge of the clearing VC2 comprises thickly mulched garden beds supporting a mix
of native and exotic canopy trees, shrubs and lomandras (refer PLATE 3). The assemblage includes several
Foxtail Palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) and she-oaks along with feature plantings such as Flame Tree
(Brachychiton acerifolius) and Golden Penda (Xanthostemon chrysanthus).

Page 9
The balance of the field-surveyed Site (described as VC3) supports a stand of Broad-leaved Paperbark (Melaleuca quinquenervia) situated along the margin of the northern dam (refer PLATE 4). Historical aerial imagery and current site conditions suggest that VC1 supported similar vegetation prior to the clearing event. The VCs’ floristic inventory provided at APPENDIX F includes at least 53 vascular plant species of which 38 are native species and 15 are exotic species. A detailed Tree Protection Plan with associated Tree Schedule is shown at APPENDIX F. Plate 4: VC3 looking north Weeds Status A number of exotic and invasive pest plants were recorded within the targeted Site area (refer to TABLE 3 in APPENDIX F). Two (2) restricted invasive plants (Category 3) and one (1) other invasive plant species declared under State government legislation have been identified on-Site. Remnant Status With reference to the VMA, the field-surveyed Site is mapped as Category X non-remnant vegetation. Threatened and Significant Flora Species and Ecological Communities No flora species of conservation significance at the Commonwealth or State level were recorded from the Site. The vegetation is not analogous with any threatened ecological community listed under the EPBC Act. 5.2 Fauna and Fauna Habitat Overall habitat quality is assessed as low to moderate. The existing cleared areas (described as VC1) are highly modified and devoid of canopy, sub-canopy and shrub layers. While VC2 incorporates landscaped elements, the presence of native species across all strata provides functional foraging, shelter and 20261016 PPL25_Ecological Assessment Letter Report_v1.0 – page 9
Page 10
movement opportunities for generalist fauna. The paperbark stand (VC3) adjoining the northern dam
contributes moderate habitat values.
Additional habitat values are provided by the surrounding dam network, with permanent water and
fringing vegetation likely to support a variety of local bird, amphibian and reptile species.
A detailed fauna survey has not been undertaken and only opportunistic observations were made during
the field inspection. A limited number of fauna species were identified, mostly an assemblage of urban-
adapted bird species and insects:
▪ Birds ▪ Insects
− Australian Magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen); − Ants (species unknown);
− Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus); − Cicada husk (species unknown);
− Eastern Whipbird (Psophodes olivaceus); − Red dragonfly (species unknown);
and − Spider webs (species unknown);
− Striated Pardalote (Pardalotus striatus). − Spotted Amber Ladybird (Hippodamia
variegata); and
− Transverse Ladybird Beetle (Coccinella
transversalis).
Macropod scats (species unknown) were observed across the Site. No other mammals were directly
observed on-Site however evidence indicated the use of the Site by possums (scratch marks and scats).
The on-site vegetation may provide seasonal foraging opportunities for flying-foxes and microbats.
No evidence of Koala activity was detected on-Site (no scats, scratches or sightings) during the survey.
Given there is suitable habitat on the property and historical local sightings (refer FIGURE 4 and SECTION
4), it is considered likely the property may be utilised by Koalas from time to time.
Several skinks (species unknown) were detected on-Site. It is likely that the Site would be utilised by
common species of snakes and lizards on occasion.
No native frog species were visually or aurally detected during the diurnal field survey. Given the multiple
dams across the property, it is likely that amphibian species suited to these conditions would utilise the
available habitat.
No fauna species of conservation significance at the Commonwealth or State level were detected on-Site
during the field survey.
5.3 Waterways and ecological corridors
According to the VMA’s Vegetation Management Supporting Map no watercourse or drainage features
traverse the property (refer APPENDIX A). The Site is not subject to the Riparian Buffer overlay under the
Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay of the Noosa Plan 2020. Although the Site lacks mapped
riparian corridors, the system of constructed dams support good-quality aquatic habitat characterised by
permanent water, abundant aquatic plants and stable edge conditions. The Site maintains direct
connectivity to Lake Cootharaba via an access track through the adjoining state forest.
Situated within a landscape of large rural and environmental management and conservation allotments
that support a mix of cleared areas, scattered eucalypts and retained open forest, the property is directly
connected to large tracts of state forest to the north and east. The locality is surrounded by an extensive
network of protected bushland areas including Tewantin National Park to the south-west and Boreen
Nature Refuge to the north.
The local road network and limited residential activities in neighbouring properties are considered minor
barriers for fauna movement and dispersal. The proposed low-impact development (dwelling house and
ancillary structures) is considered to have a negligible effect to on-site connectivity throughout the Site.

Figure 4: Koala sightings and waterway corridors 6 Environmental Legislation and Planning Considerations 6.1 Commonwealth Legislation Following the desktop analysis (SECTION 4) and field assessment (SECTION 5) of the Site, it has been concluded that no EPBC Act listed ecological communities or threatened fauna or flora species will be directly or indirectly impacted by the proposed development. Although some of the highly mobile species such as Grey-headed Flying Fox, South-eastern Glossy Black- Cockatoo and White-throated Needletail were assessed as potentially utilising the local area, this development will not remove critical habitat or pose a significant threat to these species’ populations given their wide home range. Field surveys did not detect the presence of Koala activity on-Site (refer SECTION 5.2 for details). The pre- emptive clearing will not adversely affect habitat critical to the survival of the Koala. No additional clearing is proposed for the construction of the dwelling. Accordingly, referral to the DCCEEW4 for MNES will NOT be necessary. 6.2 State Legislation 6.2.1 State Planning Policy The State Planning Policy dated July 2017 (SPP) where not reflected in the Noosa Plan applies to the Site. The Noosa Plan states in section 2.1 that the SPP is appropriately integrated with the exception of Natural hazards, risk and resilience (coastal hazards). This state interest is not applicable to the Site therefore reference to the SPP will not be necessary. 6.2.2 Planning Act 2016 State Assessment Referral Agency (SARA) mapping layers also apply to the property (APPENDIX A). The relevant environmental layers include: ▪ SEQ Regional Plan land use categories – Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area; ▪ Coastal protection – Coastal area (erosion prone area, medium and high storm tide inundation area); 4 Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. 20261016 PPL25_Ecological Assessment Letter Report_v1.0 – page 11
Page 12
▪ Native vegetation clearing – Category B regulated vegetation; and
▪ Koala habitat in SEQ Region – Koala priority area (KPA) and Core koala habitat area (KHA).
SEQ Regional Plan
The provisions of the SEQ Regional Plan which apply to land in the Regional Landscape and Rural
Production Area have been incorporated in the Planning Regulation 2017 (Planning Regulation). The
provisions support the use of land for a private residence and therefore do NOT apply to the proposed
development.
Koala Habitat in SEQ
Schedule 10 Part 10 Section 16A of the Planning Regulation states that interfering with koala habitat in
KHAs within a KPA is prohibited development unless development is exempted development as defined
in Schedule 24 of the Planning Regulation. As the proposed development will not encroach into the
mapped KHA, the application of the exempted development definitions is NOT required. However, the
assessment benchmarks of Schedule 11 Part 4 for safe koala movement, remain applicable (refer table
below).
Schedule 11 Part 2 Section 4 subsection (1)
(a) The development provides, on the premises, the safe koala movement measures necessary to
maximise the safe movement of koalas—
(i) within a koala habitat area on the premises; and
(ii) between a koala habitat area on the premises (the first area) and a koala habitat area or
ecological corridor within 200m of the first area;
Examples of an ecological corridor—an ecological, linkage or stepping-stone habitat corridor
shown on a map in a local planning instrument
(b) either—
(i) each building, structure or works associated with the development is at least 50m from
a koala habitat area; or
(ii) the development complies with each of the criteria stated in subsection (2).
Response
The proposed dwelling is approximately 125m from the mapped KHA along the eastern boundary
of the property. As this exceeds the 50m minimum separation distance required under (1)(b)(i) the
development satisfies the applicable assessment benchmark. A response to the criteria stated in
subsection (2) is not required.
Accordingly, NO referral to the SARA for this matter will be required.
Native Vegetation Clearing
The proposed development will not impact the mapped Category B regulated vegetation.
Accordingly, NO referral to the SARA for this matter will be required.
6.2.3 Environmental Protection Act 1994
A narrow extent along the northern and eastern boundaries is mapped as a Wetland of high ecological
significance under the Environmental Protection Regulation 2019 (Qld). The mapping is associated with
Lake Cootharaba situated approx. 200m to the east of the property. The Environmental Protection (Water
and Wetlands) Policy 2019 identifies the lake as part of the Noosa River basin. With respect to vegetation
clearing, the Noosa River Basin Environmental Values and Water Quality Objectives (published in 2022)
(section 3.4) references the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP) State Code 16: Native
vegetation clearing for the buffer areas where clearing cannot occur. PO5 of the State Code (version 3.0)
specifies a distance of 100m from the definition bank of a natural wetland. The area cleared of vegetation
for the proposed development is situated more than 200m from the bank of the lake and therefore
complies with the State Code.
20261016 PPL25_Ecological Assessment Letter Report_v1.0 – page 12
Page 13
The Noosa River Basin Environmental Values and Water Quality Objectives (section 3.5) references State Code 9: Great Barrier Reef wetland protection areas for any applicable requirements for the waterbody. Lake Cootharaba is not mapped as a Wetland Protection Area and therefore the requirements of State Code 9 are not applicable. Referral to the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI) will NOT be required in relation to wetland management. 6.2.4 Nature Conservation Act 1992 The Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 divides the State into 3 Koala Districts based on the management strategies to be applied and prescribes requirements for clearing vegetation in particular areas. The proposed development is situated in Koala District A. The sequential clearing requirements under Part 3 Section 10 and the koala-spotter requirements under Part 3 Section 11 would only apply if any further clearing of koala habitat trees (KHTs) is undertaken. As no additional clearing is proposed, these provisions are NOT triggered. 6.3 Local Legislation Council’s mappings relevant to the lot under the Noosa Plan can be found in APPENDIX B. Zone The Site is zoned Rural (refer FIGURE 5). The purpose of the Rural zone code is to provide for “rural uses and activities” and to “maintain the capacity of land for rural uses and activities by protecting and managing significant natural resources and processes”. The overall outcomes for the zone include the provision for housing for permanent residents. The proposed development (dwelling house) is consistent with the purpose and outcomes of the zone. Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay Approx. 35,719m2 of the property is mapped as an Area of biodiversity significance (refer FIGURE 6). The proposed development will encroach into the mapped area, noting that pre-emptive clearing has taken place to facilitate these works. A response to the Biodiversity areas overlay code IS required and provided in APPENDIX C. Other overlays The Bushfire, Flood and Land subject to acid sulfate soils overlays also apply to the Site (refer FIGURE 7, FIGURE 8 and FIGURE 9). A response to these matters is outside the scope of this report. 7 Impact Assessment and Mitigations 7.1 Flora and Vegetation Communities As outlined in SECTION 5.1, the vegetation across the field-surveyed Site does not contain any unique or significant biodiversity values. Direct impacts An area of approx. 4,509m2 has been cleared of all vegetation in preparation for the construction of the proposed dwelling house and ancillary structures (identified as VC1 in FIGURE 3). No additional clearing is anticipated and the remainder of the property will be retained in its current state (refer to detailed Tree Protection Plan at APPENDIX F). 20261016 PPL25_Ecological Assessment Letter Report_v1.0 – page 13
Page 14
Indirect impacts
The soil disturbance is likely to promote the establishment of weedy species with the potential for edge
effects on the flora and vegetation communities on-Site.
Mitigations
Rehabilitation is incorporated into the proposed development. A concept Rehabilitation Plan has been
provided at APPENDIX F which focuses on rehabilitation of the dam edges adjacent to the cleared area.
Regular ongoing weed management will be required.
To prevent potential impacts on trees to be retained the following vegetation management measures are
to be implemented (as and where required):
▪ The Australian Standard AS 4970-2025 Protection of Trees on Development Sites is adhered to during
the clearing and construction phases of development.
▪ Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) exclusion fencing is to be installed before any clearing or bulk earthworks
are undertaken and maintained during the construction phase.
▪ Mulch stockpiles are to be placed in existing cleared areas outside of the Notional Root Zone (NRZ) of
trees to be retained.
▪ A qualified Arborist (minimum AQF Level 5) must supervise any intrusion works (greater than 10%)
within the NRZ of any trees to be retained.
7.2 Fauna and Habitat
The proposed development will be situated within a cleared area of low quality habitat. The disturbance
created by the proposed development will not have a significant impact on local fauna species.
None of the threatened species that might fly over or utilise the Site will be impacted directly or indirectly
by the proposed development as the impact area does not support any habitat critical for those species.
Mitigations
If subsequent amendments to design or siting necessitate the removal of additional native vegetation, the
following mitigations are required to prevent potential impacts on fauna during vegetation clearing:
▪ A fauna spotter-catcher WILL be required to conduct a pre-clear survey and be present during
clearing works; and
▪ Sequential clearing with the presence of a koala spotter WILL be required for the clearing of NJKHTs
in accordance with Division 3, Part 3 of the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 .
It is also recommended that:
▪ Fauna friendly fencing in accordance with the Koala-sensitive Design Guideline (DES, 2022)5 be used if
perimeter fencing is to be replaced or erected; and
▪ Pet exclusion fencing be installed around the perimeter of the dwelling to prevent dog attacks on
native fauna (as required).
7.3 Soil and Water Quality
Given the Site’s low-gradient slope, soil disturbance associated with the construction of the dwelling
house and ancillary structures is expected to be minimal. Localised erosion during a storm event may
result in sediment deposition downslope.

20261016 PPL25_Ecological Assessment Letter Report_v1.0 – page 14
Page 15
Mitigations
Reference should be made to the Procedural Guide - Releases to waters from building sites and small
construction sites (less than 2500m2)6 (provided by DETSI) to implement appropriate erosion and
sediment control measures such as:
▪ Earthwork activities to remove existing soil cover should only occur immediately before building work
starts.
▪ Covering stockpiles when not in use and ensuring stockpiles are not located in overland flow paths.
▪ Establish a formal stable entry/exit area to the construction site, for example a rock-pad.
To prevent sediment being deposited downslope during a storm event, sediment fencing should be
installed around the perimeter of the construction area. Monitoring (particularly after storm events) needs
to take place to ensure the effectiveness of the fencing.

Listed Threatened Ecological Communities [ Resource Information ]
For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery
plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological
community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data are used to
produce indicative distribution maps.
Status of Vulnerable, Disallowed and Ineligible are not MNES under the EPBC Act.

The report contains the mapped locations of:
• World and National Heritage properties;
• Wetlands of International and National Importance;
• Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves;
• distribution of listed threatened, migratory and marine species;
• listed threatened ecological communities; and
• other information that may be useful as an indicator of potential habitat value.
2 DISCLAIMER
This report is not intended to be exhaustive and should only be relied upon as a general guide as mapped data is not available for all species or
ecological communities listed under the EPBC Act (see below). Persons seeking to use the information contained in this report to inform the referral
of a proposed action under the EPBC Act should consider the limitations noted below and whether additional information is required to determine the
existence and location of MNES and other protected matters.
Where data is available to inform the mapping of protected species, the presence type (e.g. known, likely or may occur) that can be determined from
the data is indicated in general terms. It is the responsibility of any person using or relying on the information in this report to ensure that it is
suitable for the circumstances of any proposed use. The Commonwealth cannot accept responsibility for the consequences of any use of the report
or any part thereof. To the maximum extent allowed under governing law, the Commonwealth will not be liable for any loss or damage that may be
occasioned directly or indirectly through the use of, or reliance on the contents of this report.
3 DATA SOURCES
Threatened ecological communities
For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are generated based on information contained in recovery plans,
State vegetation maps and remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known,
existing vegetation maps and point location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.
Threatened, migratory and marine species
Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been discerned through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and
if time permits, distributions are inferred from either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc.) together with
point locations and described habitat; or modelled (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental data layers.
Where little information is available for a species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04 or
0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull); or
captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc.).
In the early stages of the distribution mapping process (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to
rapidly create distribution maps. More detailed distribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions when time permits.
4 LIMITATIONS
The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in this report:
• threatened species listed as extinct or considered vagrants;
• some recently listed species and ecological communities;
• some listed migratory and listed marine species, which are not listed as threatened species; and
• migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in Australia in small numbers.
The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:
• listed migratory and/or listed marine seabirds, which are not listed as threatened,
have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites; and
• seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent
The breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.
Refer to the metadata for the feature group (using the Resource Information link) for the currency of the information.

Introduction
This WildNet report is derived from a spatial layer that is generated from the WildNet database, managed by the
Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation. The layer, which is generated weekly, contains a
subset of WildNet wildlife records that are not classed as erroneous or duplicate, that have a location precision equal to
or less than 10000 metres and do not have a count of zero. It does not include aspatial data such as some baseline
species lists created for some protected areas.
The WildNet dataset is constantly being enhanced and the taxonomic and status information revised. If a species is not
listed in this report, it does not mean it doesn't occur there and listed species may also no longer inhabit the area. It is
recommended that you also access other internal and external data sources for species information in your area of
interest.
The WildNet Application may provide additional information on species occurence within your area of interest.

2. Vegetation management framework (administered by the Department of
Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural
Development (NRMMRRD))
The Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA), the Vegetation Management Regulation 2023, the Planning Act 2016 and
the Planning Regulation 2017, in conjunction with associated policies and codes, form the Vegetation Management
Framework.
The VMA does not apply to all land tenures or vegetation types. State forests, national parks, forest reserves and some
tenures under the Forestry Act 1959 and Nature Conservation Act 1992 are not regulated by the VMA. Managing or
clearing vegetation on these tenures may require approvals under these laws.
The following native vegetation is not regulated under the VMA but may require permit(s) under other laws:
• grass or non-woody herbage;
• a plant within a grassland regional ecosystem identified in the Vegetation Management Regional Ecosystem
Description Database (VM REDD) as having a grassland structure; and
• a mangrove.
2.1 Exempt clearing work
Exempt clearing work is an activity for which you do not need to notify the Department of Natural Resources and Mines,
Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development or obtain an approval under the vegetation management
framework. Exempt clearing work was previously known as exemptions.
In areas that are mapped as Category X (white in colour) on the regulated vegetation management map (see section
4.1), and where the land tenure is freehold, indigenous land and leasehold land for agriculture and grazing purposes, the
clearing of vegetation is considered exempt clearing work and does not require notification or development approval
under the vegetation management framework. For all other land tenures, contact the Department of Natural Resources
and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development before commencing clearing to ensure that the
proposed activity is exempt clearing work.
A range of routine property management activities are considered exempt clearing work. A list of exempt clearing work is
available at
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/clearing-approvals/exemptions/.
Exempt clearing work may be affected if the proposed clearing area is subject to development approval conditions, a
covenant, an environmental offset, an exchange area, a restoration notice, or an area mapped as Category A. Exempt
clearing work may require approval under other Commonwealth, State or Local Government laws, or local government
planning schemes. Contact the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural
Development prior to clearing in any of these areas.
2.2 Accepted development vegetation clearing codes
Some clearing activities can be undertaken under an accepted development vegetation clearing code. The codes can be
downloaded at
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/clearing-approvals/codes/
If you intend to clear vegetation under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, you must notify the
Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development before commencing.
The information in this report will assist you to complete the online notification form.
You can complete the online form at
https://vegetation-apps.nrmmrrd.qld.gov.au

Page 58
2.3 Area management plans Area Management Plans (AMP) provide an alternative approval system for vegetation clearing under the vegetation management framework. They list the purposes and clearing conditions that have been approved for the areas covered by the plan. It is not necessary to use an AMP, even when an AMP applies to your property. On 8 March 2020, AMPs ended for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation and managing encroachment. New notifications cannot be made for these AMPs. You will need to consider options for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation or encroachment under a relevant accepted development vegetation clearing code or apply for a development approval. New notifications can be made for all other AMPs. These will continue to apply until their nominated end date. If an Area Management Plan applies to your property for which you can make a new notification, it will be listed in Section 3.7 of this report. Before clearing under one of these AMPs, you must first notify the Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development and then follow the conditions and requirements listed in the AMP. https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/clearing-approvals/area-management-plans 2.4 Development approvals If under the vegetation management framework your proposed clearing is not exempt clearing work, or is not permitted under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, or an AMP, you may be able to apply for a development approval. Information on how to apply for a development approval is available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/clearing-approvals/development 2.5.

Please note:
1. All area and area derived figures included in this table have been calculated via reprojecting relevant spatial features to Albers
equal-area conic projection (central meridian = 146, datum Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994). As a result, area figures may differ
slightly if calculated for the same features using a different co-ordinate system.
2. If Table 5 contains a Category 'plant', please be aware that this refers to 'plantations' such as forestry, and these areas are
considered non-remnant under the VMA.
The VMA status of the regional ecosystem (whether it is endangered, of concern or least concern) also determines if any
of the following are applicable:
• exempt clearing work;
• accepted development vegetation clearing codes;
• performance outcomes in State Code 16 of the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).
3.4 Watercourses
Vegetation management watercourses and drainage features for this property are shown on the vegetation
management supporting map in section 4.2.
3.5 Wetlands
Vegetation management wetlands are present on this property and are shown on the vegetation

3.6 Essential habitat Under the VMA, essential habitat for protected wildlife is native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA) as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or near-threatened wildlife. Essential habitat for protected wildlife includes suitable habitat on the lot, or where a species has been known to occur up to 1.1 kilometres from a lot on which there is assessable vegetation. These important habitat areas are protected under the VMA. Any essential habitat on this property will be shown as blue hatching on the vegetation supporting map in section 4.2. If essential habitat is identified on the lot, information about the protected wildlife species is provided in Table 6 below. The numeric labels on the vegetation management supporting map can be cross referenced with Table 6 to outline the essential habitat factors for that particular species. There may be essential habitat for more than one species on each lot, and areas of Category A, Category B and Category C can be mapped as Essential Habitat. Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records. Regional ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated. Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means an area of vegetation shown on the Regulated Vegetation Management Map - 1) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat database. Essential habitat factors are comprised of - regional ecosystem (mandatory for most species), vegetation community, altitude, soils, position in landscape; or 2) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located. If there is no essential habitat mapping shown on the vegetation management supporting map for this lot, and there is no table in the sections below, it confirms that there is no essential habitat on the lot.

5. Protected plants framework (administered by the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation(DETSI)) In Queensland, all plants that are native to Australia are protected plants under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA). The NCA regulates the clearing of protected plants 'in the wild' (see Operational policy: When a protected plant in Queensland is considered to be 'in the wild') that are listed as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or near threatened under the Act. Please note that the protected plant clearing framework applies irrespective of the classification of the vegetation under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 and any approval or exemptions given under another Act, for example, the Vegetation Management Act 1999 or Planning Regulation 2017. 5.1 Clearing in high risk areas on the flora survey trigger map The flora survey trigger map identifies high-risk areas for threatened and near threatened plants. These are areas where threatened or near threatened plants are known to exist or are likely to exist based on the habitat present. The flora survey trigger map for this property is provided in section 5.5. If you are proposing to clear an area shown as high risk on the flora survey trigger map, a flora survey of the clearing impact area must be undertaken by a suitably qualified person in accordance with the Flora survey guidelines. The main objective of a flora survey is to locate any threatened or near threatened plants that may be present in the clearing impact area. If the flora survey identifies that threatened or near threatened plants are not present within the clearing impact area or clearing within 100m of Endangered, Vulnerable, Near-Threatened (EVNT) plants can be avoided, the clearing activity is exempt from a permit. An exempt clearing notification form must be submitted to the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation, with a copy of the flora survey report, at least one week prior to clearing. If the flora survey identifies that threatened or near threatened plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared, a clearing permit is required before any clearing is undertaken. The flora survey report, as well as an impact management report, must be submitted with the clearing permit application form. 5.2 Clearing outside high risk areas on the flora survey trigger map In an area other than a high risk area, a clearing permit is only required where a person is, or becomes aware that threatened or near threatened plantsare present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared. You must keep a copy of the flora survey trigger map for the area subject to clearing for five years from the day the clearing starts. If you do not clear within the 12 month period that the flora survey trigger map was printed, you need to print and check a new flora survey trigger map. 5.3 Exemptions Many activities are 'exempt' under the protected plant clearing framework, which means that clearing of native plants that are in the wild can be undertaken for these activities with no need for a flora survey or a protected plant clearing permit. The Information sheet - General exemptions for the take of protected plants provides some of these exemptions. Some exemptions under the NCA are the same as exempt clearing work (formerly known as exemptions) under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 (i.e. listed in Schedule 21 of the Planning Regulations 2017) while some are different. 5.4 Contact information for DETSI For further information on the protected plants framework: Phone 1300 130 372 (and select option four) Email [email protected] Visit https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/plants-animals/plants/protected-plants 19 | Vegetation management property report

5.5 Protected plants flora survey trigger map This map included may also be requested individually at: https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/map-request/flora-survey-trigger/. Updates to the data informing the flora survey trigger map The flora survey trigger map will be reviewed, and updated if necessary, at least every 12 months to ensure the map reflects the most up-to-date and accurate data available. Species information Please note that flora survey trigger maps do not identify species associated with 'high risk areas'. While some species information may be publicly available, for example via the Queensland Spatial Catalogue, the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation does not provide species information on request. Regardless of whether species information is available for a particular high risk area, clearing plants in a high risk area may require a flora survey and/or clearing permit. Please see the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation webpage on the clearing of protected plants for more information. 20 | Vegetation management property report

6. Koala protection framework (administered by the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation(DETSI)) The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is listed in Queensland as endangered by the Queensland Government under Nature Conservation Act 1992 and by the Australian Government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The Queensland Government's koala protection framework is comprised of the Nature Conservation Act 1992, the Nature Conservation (Animals) Regulation 2020, the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017, the Planning Act 2016 and the Planning Regulation 2017. 6.1 Koala mapping 6.1.1 Koala districts The parts of Queensland where koalas are known to occur has been divided into three koala districts - koala district A, koala district B and koala district C. Each koala district is made up of areas with comparable koala populations (e.g. density, extent and significance of threatening processes affecting the population) which require similar management regimes. Section 7.1 identifies which koala district your property is located in. 6.1.2 Koala habitat areas Koala habitat areas are areas of vegetation that have been determined to contain koala habitat that is essential for the conservation of a viable koala population in the wild based on the combination of habitat suitability and biophysical variables with known relationships to koala habitat (e.g. landcover, soil, terrain, climate and ground water). In order to protect this important koala habitat, clearing controls have been introduced into the Planning Regulation 2017 for development in koala habitat areas. Please note that koala habitat areas only exist in koala district A which is the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ" Regional Plan area. These areas include the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Lockyer Valley, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent). There are two different categories of koala habitat area (core koala habitat area and locally refined koala habitat), which have been determined using two different methodologies. These methodologies are described in the document Spatial modelling in South East Queensland. Section 7.2 shows any koala habitat area that exists on your property. Under the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017, an owner of land (or a person acting on the owner's behalf with written consent) can request to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination if they believe, on reasonable grounds, that the existing determination for all or part of their property is incorrect. More information on requests to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination can be found in the document Guideline - Requests to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination. The koala habitat area map will be updated at least annually to include any koala habitat areas that have been made, amended or revoked. Changes to the koala habitat area map which occur between annual updates because of a request to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination can be viewed on the register of approved requests to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area available at: https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/koalamaps. The register includes the lot on plan for the change, the date the decision was made and the map issued to the landholder that shows areas determined to be koala habitat areas. 6.1.3 Koala priority areas Koala priority areas are large, connected areas that have been determined to have the highest likelihood of achieving conservation outcomes for koalas based on the combination of habitat suitability, biophysical variables with known relationships to koala habitat (e.g. landcover, soil, terrain, climate and ground water) and a koala conservation cost benefit analysis. Conservation efforts will be prioritised in these areas to ensure the conservation of viable koala populations in the wild 22 | Vegetation management property report
Page 73
including a focus on management (e.g. habitat protection, habitat restoration and threat mitigation) and monitoring. This
includes a prohibition on clearing in koala habitat areas that are in koala priority areas under the Planning Regulation
2017 (subject to some exemptions).
Please note that koala priority areas only exist in koala district A which is the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ"
Regional Plan area. These areas include the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Lockyer Valley,
Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent).
Section 7.2 identifies if your property is in a koala priority area.
6.1.4 Identified koala broad-hectare areas
There are seven identified koala broad-hectare areas in SEQ. These are areas of koala habitat that are located in areas
committed to meet development targets in the SEQ Regional Plan to accommodate SEQ's growing population including
bring-forward Greenfield sites under the Queensland Housing Affordability Strategy and declared master planned areas
under the repealed Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and the repealed Integrated Planning Act 1997.
Specific assessment benchmarks apply to development applications for development proposed in identified koala broad-
hectare areas to ensure koala conservation measures are incorporated into the proposed development.
Section 7.2 identifies if your property is in an identified koala broad-hectare area.
6.2 Koala habitat planning controls
On 7 February 2020, the Queensland Government introduced new planning controls to the Planning Regulation 2017 to
strengthen the protection of koala habitat in South East Queensland (i.e. koala district A).
More information on these planning controls can be found here:
https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.
As a high-level summary, the koala habitat planning controls make:
• development that involves interfering with koala habitat (defined below) in an area that is both a koala priority
area and a koala habitat area, prohibited development (i.e. development for which a development application
cannot be made);
• development that involves interfering with koala habitat (defined below) in an area that is a koala habitat area but
is not a koala priority area, assessable development (i.e. development for which development approval is
required); and
• development that is for extractive industries where the development involves interfering with koala habitat
(defined below) in an area that is both a koala habitat area and a key resource area, assessable development
(i.e. development for which development approval is required).
Interfering with koala habitat means:
1. Removing, cutting down, ringbarking, pushing over, poisoning or destroying in anyway, including by burning,
flooding or draining native vegetation in a koala habitat area; but
2. Does not include destroying standing vegetation stock or lopping a tree.
However, these planning controls do not apply if the development is exempted development as defined in Schedule 24
of the Planning Regulation 2017. More information on exempted development can be found here:
https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.
There are also assessment benchmarks that apply to development applications for:
- building works, operational works, material change of use or reconfiguration of a lot where:
• the local government planning scheme makes the development assessable;
• the premises includes an area that is both a koala priority area and a koala habitat area; and
• the development does not involve interfering with koala habitat (defined above); and
- development in identified koala broad-hectare areas.
23 | Vegetation management property report
Page 74
The Guideline - Assessment Benchmarks in relation to Koala Habitat in South East Queensland assessment benchmarks outlines these assessment benchmarks, the intent of these assessment benchmarks and advice on how proposed development may meet these assessment benchmarks. 6.3 Koala Conservation Plan clearing requirements Section 10 and 11 of the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 prescribes requirements that must be met when clearing koala habitat in koala district A and koala district B. These clearing requirements are independent to the koala habitat planning controls introduced into the Planning Regulation 2017, which means they must be complied with irrespective of any approvals or exemptions offered under other legislation. Unlike the clearing controls prescribed in the Planning Regulation 2017 that are to protect koala habitat, the clearing requirements prescribed in the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 are in place to prevent the injury or death of koalas when koala habitat is being cleared. 6.4 Contact information for DETSI For further information on the koala protection framework: Phone 13 QGOV (13 74 68) Email [email protected] Visit https://environment.desi.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping 24 | Vegetation management property report
