This Riparian Buffer Area Rehabilitation Plan has been prepared to satisfy Conditions 10
and 11 of the Development Approval issued for Lot 5 on RP209025 (Council Reference
RAL20/0032). Condition 10 states that the following works must be undertaken within the
riparian buffer area prior to the submission of the sealing of the survey plan:

a. Control of pest plants as listed in Planning Scheme Policy 2 Landscaping and
Council's Biosecurity Plan 2020 pest plants listed in Schedule 1 part 3, Schedule 2 and
Non-scheduled invasive species; and

b. Removal of any structures, debris or materials foreign to a natural environment.
The works must be undertaken in accordance with an Operational Works approval.

Condition 11 states that a permanent fence must be constructed along the entire length
of the interface of the site with the Riparian Buffer Area.

This Plan prescribes the various rehabilitation methodologies required to meet Condition
10 and to enhance the ecological resilience of the rehabilitation area. The Plan also
includes fencing specifications to satisfy Condition 11 of the Decision Notice.

REHABILITATION OBJECTIVES

1. The primary objective of the rehabilitation program is to restore and enhance floristic
and structural integrity to the Riparian Buffer Area.

 

2. Objective 1 will be achieved via targeted treatment of exotic weed taxa
OVERALL RESTORATION STRATEGY

The Riparian Buffer Area comprises a total area of approximately 1.68ha and consists
of tall open Eucalypt forest over vineforest understorey (refer to Plate B & C).

 

The area contains a low to moderate level of weed presence including areas of camphor
laurel in the mid-storey and Lantana and Ochna in the understorey. Overall, the site
contains medium to 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 the rehabilitation area.

RP0O2 depicts the approved Plan of Development with the Rehabilitation Area shown in
more detail. Note that an existing cleared access track is located adjacent to the western
site boundary. This access track is to be retained to provide emergency access to the
offsite waterbody in the event of a bushfire.
