RFI - 10.03.2020 -Appendix B - Protected Plans Flora Survey Report · MCU16/0099.01

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.


3.7       Suitably qualified persons
In accordance with Section 4.2.1 of the Flora Survey Guidelines (DES 2019), the Protected Plant Flora
Survey was conducted by the suitably qualified person indicated in Table 2. Curricula Vitae for the suitably
qualified person, Andy Dalton, is provided in Appendix C.
