1 Introduction
1.1 Proposed development works and location
The National Broadband Network (nbn™) is proposing to establish a Fixed Wireless Facility at 23 Jirrima
Crescent, Cooroibah (Lot 47 RP136461) (refer Figure 1). The proposed ‘Cooroibah’ Fixed Wireless Facility
(henceforth referred to as the ‘proposed development’) comprises a new 45 m high monopole along with
ancillary components.
The proposed development has been proposed as part of the rollout of the nbn™, which is designed to
provide fast, affordable and reliable fixed wireless services to the Cooroibah community.
The subject property (Lot 47 RP136461) upon which the proposed development is to be built, currently
features a house and associated infrastructure. A single drainage line bisects the property in a north-west,
south-east direction, with water flowing in a north-west direction. The subject property is situated in a rural
residential landscape and adjoins a conservation park to the west of the property. Rural residential properties
are located to the north and south of the property and Jirrima Crescent adjoins the property to the east.
The proposed development will be situated in a previously disturbed location which is currently used for
grazing livestock (horses). The location of the proposed development area is adjacent to an existing fence
line which marks the southern edge of the property (refer Figure 1). Access to the proposed development
area will be provided via the easement on neighbouring property 21 Jirrima Crescent (Lot 46 RP136461).
1.2 Purpose of report
The proposed development area is situated within a ‘High risk area’ identified on the Department of
Environment and Science (DES) Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map (refer Figure 2). Consequently,
a Protected Plant Flora Survey is required under the provisions of the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld)
(NC Act) to identify Endangered, Vulnerable and Near-threatened (EVNT) flora species that may be present
within the area.
In accordance with Section 256 of the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006 (Qld)
(NC Reg) and Section 5.2 of the ‘Flora Survey Guidelines - Protected Plants’ (DES 2019), the survey extent
for a Protected Plant Flora Survey is defined by the clearing impact area, within a high risk area identified on
a DES Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map. Section 249 of the NC Reg defines the clearing impact
area as the area to be disturbed to the extent it is within a high risk area and a buffer zone of 100 m around
the boundary of the area to be disturbed.
The clearing impact area for the proposed development at 23 Jirrima Crescent, which defined the extent of
the Protected Plant Flora Survey, is illustrated in Figure 3.
On 24 February 2020, Aurecon conducted a Protected Plant Flora Survey of the clearing impact area
associated with the proposed development, in accordance with the Flora Survey Guidelines (DES 2019).
This Protected Plant Flora Survey Report has been prepared in accordance with the Flora Survey Guidelines
(DES 2019) to present the findings of the aforementioned Protected Plant Flora Survey. This report also
provides an assessment of potential development impact on floral values within the clearing impact area, and
provides suitable management measures where applicable.
An Animal Breeding Place Survey of the proposed development area was also conducted on 24th February
2020 in order to identify the presence of any animal breeding places, as defined under the provisions of the
NC Act. This report also presents the results of a Tree Disturbance Plot Survey which was conducted to
assess the potential impact upon standing vegetation and riverine environment in a 10 m wide corridor from
the proposed tunnel boring for the NBN electricity route.
As these are not requirements of a Protected Plant Flora Survey Report, the results of the Animal Breeding
Place and Tree Disturbance Plot Surveys have been provided in Appendix E and F respectively for
reference.

2 Desktop assessment
2.1 Desktop assessment methodology
In accordance with the Flora Survey Guidelines (DES 2019), prior to the commencement of the Protected
Plant Flora Survey a desktop assessment was conducted. The desktop assessment was conducted to
identify potential habitat available for NC Act EVNT flora species which may occur ‘in the wild’ (as defined
under the provisions of the NC Act), within the clearing impact area.
The following desktop resources were reviewed and assessed:
Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map (DES 2020) (refer Figure 2)
Wildlife Online Database (DES 2020a) (refer Appendix A)
Regulated Vegetation Management Map version 3.06 (Department of Natural Resources, Mines and
Energy [DNRME] 2020)
Census of the Queensland Flora 2019 (Jessup 2019)
2.2 Desktop assessment results
The following sections provide a summary of the aforementioned desktop assessment results.
2.2.1 Protected plant flora survey trigger map
Part of the proposed development access track is located within a ‘high risk area’ on the DES Protected
Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map (refer Figure 2). Consequently, a Protected Plant Flora Survey is required,
under the provisions of the NC Act, to identify EVNT flora species which may be present within the clearing
impact area.
2.2.2 Regulated vegetation management mapping
The proposed development area is mapped by DNRME as non-remnant vegetation (ie vegetation which is
not regulated under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 [Qld] [VM Act]).
Regulated vegetation, containing the heterogeneous ‘of concern’ Regional Ecosystems (RE) polygon RE
12.3.4/12.3.14 (60/40), is mapped to the west of the clearing impact area (refer Figure 4).
The Regional Ecosystem Description Database (REDD) (Queensland Herbarium 2020) describes
RE 12.3.4/12.3.16 as the following:
RE 12.3.4: Open forest to woodland of Melaleuca quinquenervia and Eucalyptus robusta. Occurs fringing
drainage lines and on floodplains in coastal areas
RE 12.3.14: Banksia aemula low woodland on alluvial plains usually near coast. Associated canopy
species include Eucalyptus latisinensis, Corymbia intermedia, E. robusta and Lophostemon confertus.
Occurs on Quaternary alluvial plains along coastal lowlands.
2.2.3 Essential habitat
The regulated vegetation management mapping identified that essential habitat is located within the area of
remnant vegetation located to the west of the clearing impact area for the three (3) species detailed
below(refer Figure 4). Essential habitat for flora species was not identified within the clearing impact area or
surrounding environments.
Wallum froglet (Crinia tinnula) (code: 686). Species habitat requirements include the following:
− Vegetation communities containing required habitat values is a mandatory essential habitat factor for
this species. Habitat components for the species include permanent to ephemeral acidic (pH 4.3 - 5.2)
soft freshwater in Melaleuca (eg M. quinquenervia) swamps, sedgeland, wet and dry heathland (eg
Banksia robur, Xanthorrhoea) and wallum (Banksia aemula shrubland/woodland) areas in coastal
lowlands on sand or sandstone, occasionally in adjacent open forest/woodland (eg Eucalyptus

racemosa, Corymbia citriodora) with heathy understorey. The species is known to persist in small
remnants (<10ha); may be found well away from water.
Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) (code: 29186). Species habitat requirements include the following:
− Open eucalypt forest and woodland that has:
a) multiple strata layers containing Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Angophora, Lophostemon or Melaleuca
trees that-at 1.3 m above the ground-have a diameter both greater and less than 30 cm; and
b) at least one of the following species: Eucalyptus tereticornis, E. fibrosa, E. propinqua; E. umbra,
E. grandis, E. microcorys, E. tindaliae, E. resinifera, E. populnea, E. robusta, E. nigra, E.
racemosa, E. crebra, E. exserta, E. seeana, Lophostemon confertus, L. suaveolens, Melaleuca
quinquenervia.
Wallum rocketfrog (Litoria freycineti) (code: 609). Species habitat requirements include the following:
− Vegetation communities containing required habitat variables is a mandatory essential habitat factor
for this species. Habitat components for the species include freshwater acidic swamps/lagoons
(permanent or temporary still water) dominated by sedges (eg Baumea and Eleocharis spp.) in
heathland (eg Banksia/Xanthorrhoea), wallum (Banksia aemula shrubland/woodland) or Melaleuca
open forest (eg M. quinquenervia), and adjacent Eucalyptus racemosa forest. The species is also
found around acidic coastal lakes; on sand and sandstone; and can be found well away from water
during non-breeding season.
2.2.4 Threatened flora species
A search of DES’s Wildlife Online database was conducted for the clearing impact area, using a 5 km search
buffer, to identify NC Act threatened flora species which are may be present, or the potential to be present
within the clearing impact area (refer Appendix A). The results identified that twelve (12) NC Act listed EVNT
flora species have been previously recorded within, or have potential to occur within the search area (refer
Table 2.1). These species were specifically targeted during field investigations.

SLC Special least concern flora species, as listed under the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006
To identify the likely presence of NC Act EVNT flora species within the clearing impact area, a likelihood of
occurrence assessment was conducted for the species identified in Table 2.1 (refer Appendix B). The
likelihood of occurrence assessment was conducted using desktop sources of information and findings from
the field-based Protected Plant Flora Survey of the clearing impact area.
Following the likelihood of occurrence assessment, the field survey indicated that no species were confirmed
to be present within the clearing impact area. Three (3) species were considered to have potential to occur
within the clearing impact area, based on the species preferred habitat being present and consideration of
the species known area of distribution (ie. Blandfordia grandiflora [Christmas bells], Acacia attenuata and
Eucalyptus conglomerata [Swamp stringybark]). Suitable habitat for these species was confirmed to occur
within the clearing impact area during the Protected Plant Flora Survey although individuals were not
identified within the clearing impact area.
Following the likelihood of occurrence assessment, nine (9) species were considered unlikely to occur within
the clearing impact area, due to the clearing impact area either being situated outside of the species known
area of distribution or preferred habitat for the species being absent from the clearing impact area. Many of
the flora species identified as having an unlikely potential to occur within the clearing impact area are
commonly associated with rainforest or hilly environments, neither of which are present within the clearing
impact area.

3 Survey Methodology
3.1 Clearing impact area
As discussed in Section 1.2 of this report, the clearing impact area is defined as the area to be disturbed to
the extent it is within a high risk area plus a buffer zone of 100 m around the boundary of the area to be
disturbed.
The clearing impact area for the proposed development subject to this report is illustrated in Figure 3 and
approximated 5.05 ha in area.
3.2 Timed meander survey
A Protected Plant Flora Survey was conducted on 24th February 2020 to identify NC Act EVNT flora species
which may be present within the clearing impact area (refer Figure 3).
The timed meander survey methodology defined in Section 6.2.2 of the Flora Survey Guidelines (DES 2019)
was employed to identify and locate potentially occurring EVNT flora species within the clearing impact area.
The timed meander survey methodology involved the following:
The selection of a starting point and the time noted
To maximise the coverage of potential EVNT flora species habitat, the vegetation community was
traversed in a random manner
Any EVNT flora species or potential EVNT flora species observed during the random meander were
recorded along with samples and locational data (potential EVNT species observations were recorded for
later confirmation)
The time was recorded every 2 to 5 minutes during the survey
The survey ceased once no new flora species (least concern or EVNT flora species) had been recorded
for a period of 30 minutes or the entire area of habitat type was surveyed, whichever occurred first
Timed meander surveys were undertaken at the rates as specified in Section 6.2.2 of the Flora Survey
Guidelines (DES 2019), that is:
− Areas between 2 ha and 10 ha: Two timed meander surveys
3.3 Survey timing
It is considered that the survey timing and duration was sufficient to determine the potential presence of the
NC Act EVNT flora plants which were identified from the desktop assessment as potentially occurring within
the clearing impact area (refer Table 2.1). As it was summer and there had been sufficient rain prior to the
survey, growing conditions were ideal for spotting vegetative structures. Many of the targeted NC Act EVNT
flora species may be considered distinctive, even when reproductive material is absent.
In addition to targeted searches, the Protected Plant Flora Survey included a habitat value assessment for
EVNT flora species within the clearing impact area to determine their likelihood of occurrence (refer to
Appendix B).
3.4 Permits to conduct works
The Protected Plant Flora Survey was conducted in accordance with Aurecon’s Scientific Purposes Permit,
WISP14453114 (valid between 20 April 2019 and 19 April 2024).

Page 18
3.5 Nomenclature
Scientific and common names used in this report to describe flora species were obtained from the Census of
the Queensland Flora (Jessup 2019).
3.6 Survey limitations
The information presented in this report is subject to survey limitations. The Protected Plant Flora Survey
was conducted to identify the presence of EVNT flora species within the clearing impact area. This report is
specific to the findings of the Protected Plant Flora Survey and does not provide a description of the entire
ecological values of the clearing impact area.
It is important to note that some flora species may not have been identified due to a lack of fertile material or
plants lying dormant (eg terrestrial orchids and Blandfordia grandiflora [Christmas bells]) at the time of the
survey. It should be noted that the Protected Plant Flora Survey was conducted within the flowering period of
B.grandiflora (ie between November and March).
To inform the site survey, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) environmental constraints layers were
uploaded onto a handheld GPS device. It should be noted that while efforts were made to ensure the GPS
co-ordinates provided in this report are accurate, a margin of error of approximately ±5 m is expected due to
the limitations of the device used and the recording environment.

4 Survey results
4.1 Flora survey area
During the Protected Plant Flora Survey conducted on 24th February 2020, the timed meander survey was
conducted for each habitat type present within the clearing impact area.
In total, two (2) timed meander surveys were completed for the clearing impact area (which is 5.05 ha in
area). This included:
One (1) timed meander survey in grassland with isolated trees. The habitat type defined the majority of the
clearing impact area
One (1) timed meander in riparian vegetation community associated with the drainage line that bisects
clearing impact area.
4.2 Flora species
There were no EVNT flora species identified within the clearing impact area during the Protected Plant Flora
Survey conducted on 24th February 2020.
In total, 57 flora species were identified during the Protected Plant Flora Survey, of which 44 (77%) were
native and 13 (23%) were non-native. In addition, two (2) species are listed as Schedule 2 restricted matters
under the Biosecurity Act 2014 (refer Section 4.3). Flora species identified within the clearing impact area
during the Protected Plant Flora Survey are listed in Appendix D.
4.3 Restricted invasive plants
The following ‘Restricted Invasive Plants’ under the Biosecurity Act 2014 (Qld) were recorded within the
clearing impact area during the Protected Plant Flora Survey:
Baccharis halimifolia (Groundsel bush) – Category 3, recorded in the buffer area
Sphagneticola trilobata (Singapore daisy) – Category 3, recorded in the buffer area
Restricted invasive plants identified within the clearing impact area during the Protected Plant Flora Survey
are Category 3 restricted invasive plants. A person must not distribute a Category 3 restricted invasive plant
either by sale or gift, or release the plant into the environment.
4.4 Existing environment
The proposed development area is situated in a previously disturbed area which is currently used for the
grazing of livestock.
Due to historical clearing works on the site, woody, native vegetation is restricted to areas outside of the
proposed development area. Woody vegetation is characterised by regrowth vegetation, dominated by
Lophostemon suaveolens (Swamp box) and Melaleuca quinquenervia (Broad-leaved paperbark). Emergent,
isolated Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Syncarpia species are present within the clearing impact area.
There are no mapped watercourses defined under the Water Act 2000 situated within the proposed
development area, although a mapped drainage line is located within the clearing impact area, to the east of
the development area.

5 Conclusion
The proposed development of a Fixed Wireless Facility at 23 Jirrima Crescent, Cooroibah (Lot 47
RP136461) will require land clearing within an area of non-remnant vegetation, mapped as a ‘High risk area’
on the DES Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map. Consequently, a Protected Plant Flora Survey was
required under the provisions of the NC Act to identify EVNT flora species that may be present, prior to
construction works commencing.
On 24th February 2020, Aurecon conducted a Protected Plant Flora Survey of the clearing impact area,
associated with the proposed development area, in accordance with DES’s Flora Survey Guidelines (DES
2019). The clearing impact area was defined as the proposed development area, and the surrounding 100 m
buffer zone.
There were no EVNT flora species listed under the provisions of the NC Act detected within the clearing
impact area during the Protected Plant Flora Survey conducted on the 24th February 2020.
Three (3) species were considered to have potential to occur within the clearing impact area, based on the
species preferred habitat being present and consideration of the species known area of distribution (ie.
Blandfordia grandiflora [Christmas bells], Acacia attenuata and Eucalyptus conglomerata [Swamp
stringybark]). Suitable habitat for these species was confirmed to occur within the clearing impact area during
the Protected Plant Flora Survey, although individuals were not identified within the clearing impact area
during the survey. With regards to the distinctive habit of the species and the timing of survey (ie during the
flowering period of B.grandiflora), it is considered unlikely that the species occur within the clearing impact
area.
It is proposed that the works qualify as exempt under Section 261ZA of the NC Reg.
Prior to the commencement of clearing activities, the proponent is required to complete an ‘Exempt clearing
notification (protected plants) form’ to notify DES of the proposed clearing and receive a ‘receipt of
submission’ providing approval for the clearing works.

Appendix E
Animal breeding place survey
results
In addition to the Protected Plant Flora Survey, an animal breeding place survey of the proposed
development area was recommended to be conducted concurrently. The aim of the animal breeding place
survey was to determine if any additional approvals are required under the provisions of the Nature
Conservation Act 1992 (Qld) (NC Act) concerning fauna species (eg provisions of a species management
program to interfere with animal breeding places).
The animal breeding place survey was conducted on the 24th February 2020 by a suitably qualified and
experienced ecologist and focussed on identifying potential breeding places for threatened and least concern
fauna species within the proposed development area.
Under Schedule 5, Section 5(1) of the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006 (Qld)
(NC Regulation), animal breeding places are defined as:
‘…a bower, burrow, cave, hollow, nest or other thing that is commonly used by the animal to
incubate or rear the animal’s offspring.’
Species Management Programs (SMP) are required for varying classes of protected fauna, where an
associated breeding place has been identified, and where tampering of the breeding place is necessary to
complete the proposed works (refer Table E1).
Table E1 Species Management Program Requirements
Low Risk SMP required Least concern animals (excluding special least concern and colonial breeders)

At the time of survey, the proposed disturbance area provided very little potential habitat for fauna, as there
was limited canopy or cover (suitable for shelter, forging and perching), fissured tree bark, grassy tussocks,
woody debris (ie fallen tree limbs/logs), and leaf litter.
In addition, there were no animal breeding places present within the proposed disturbance area at the time
of survey (ie 24th February 2020).
The vegetation communities within the proposed disturbance area have been previously disturbed and
modified. Due to historical clearing works, woody, native vegetation is restricted to areas outside of the
proposed development area. Given its very small size and disturbed nature, the proposed disturbance area
is considered very unlikely to support habitat for threatened fauna species. It is considered that animal
breeding places will not be disturbed as part of the proposed development and an SMP (High Risk or Low
risk) will not be required for this project. Should animal breeding places be identified on site prior to or during
Project works, the animal breeding place must not be disturbed until the appropriate SMP is obtained.
1 Under the provisions of the NC Act, a ‘colonial breeder’ means a group of animals of the same kind co-existing in close
association for breeding purposes

Appendix F
Tree plot survey to identify
tunnel boring impacts
In addition to the Protected Plant Flora Survey, a tree survey was conducted of the area proposed for the
electrical underground route. The aims of this Appendix will be to investigate the likely impact the boring of
the electrical route will have on the standing vegetation. The tunnel boring will be installed 600 mm below the
ground surface will bore at an approximate width of 100 mm. The power route will be under bored east to
west, keeping parallel with the shared property boundary of Lot 47 RP136461 and Lot 46 RP136461, until
reaching a location 10 m from of the approved telecommunications compound.
During the survey conducted on the 24th February 2020, trees were recorded in a 10 m wide plot running
along the proposed underground electrical route (see Figure 5). Only trees with a Diameter at Breast Height
(DBH) of greater that 10 cm within this plot were recorded. Species name, DBH and height were recorded for
each tree within the survey plot (see Table F1 for results). Tree protection zone (TPZ) and Structural root
zone (SRZ) were calculated from the DBH using the Australian Standards for Protection of Trees on
development sites (AS4970-2009), where:
TPZ was calculated as:
TPZ = DBH x 12
DBH = trunk diameter measured at 1.4m above ground level
As stated in the standards (AS4970-2009), a TPZ should not be less than 2 m nor greater than 15 m.
SRZ was calculated as:
SRZ radius = (D x 50)0.42 x 0.64
D = trunk diameter, in m, measured above the root buttress
The SRZ for trees with trunk diameter less than 0.15 m will be 1.5 m

Seven (7) trees were recorded as having potential encroachment of the proposed electrical route within their
respective SRZ (see table F1). The proposed tunnel boring to install the power cables may have impact on
the trees in question. The information provided in this section, including corresponding Table F1 and Figure
5, should be reviewed as indicative advice only. The precise location and extent of tree root zones could be
confirmed on site via the engagement of an arborist and use of a Ground Penetrating Radar.
The depth of the waterway will be measured prior to confirming the required depth of the tunnel boring to
ensure that there are no impacts on the riverine environment. As indicated in this report, no threatened
species were identified within the 10 m power corridor.
