        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.
