REHABILITATION OBJECTIVES

1. The primary objective of the rehabilitation program is to restore and enhance floristic and structural integrity to the proposed Vegetation
Protection Covenant Area.

2. Objective 1 will be achieved via targeted treatment of exotic weed taxa and comprehensive revegetation works (where necessary).

OVERALL RESTORATION STRATEGY

The Vegetation Protection Covenant Area comprises a total area of 2.026ha and predominantly consists of a harvested agricultural land that has
either been sown with grass seed or exhibits bare earth, however, some remnant vegetated areas remain.

The vegetated areas contained a low level of weed presence. Overall, the vegetated areas onsite contains a high in-situ ecological resilience. An
‘assisted natural regeneration’ management approach (as defined within the South-East Queensland Ecological Restoration Framework) is
anticipated to be required within these vegetated areas alongside comprehensive revegetation works in the remaining unvegetated Vegetation
Protection Covenant Areas.
