5.0 Rehabilitation Strategy
Protection and enhancement of identified environmental values will be achieved via
rehabilitation works (including weed management, revegetation and maintenance/monitoring –
refer APPENDIX 2 for locations) within the designated areas of the site.
5.1 Weed Management Works
The rehabilitation areas (refer APPENDIX 2) will be subject to ongoing weed management
works to minimise the impacts of existing edge-effects and suppress the ongoing displacement
of native floristic structure and diversity by exotic species.
A field inspection has determined that weed invasion on the site is dominated by the species
listed within TABLE 1 following.
Weed control methods specified have been adapted from Common Weeds of Subtropical
Rainforests of Eastern Australia: A practical manual on their identification and control (BSRLG,
2008) in accordance with the following abbreviations (care must be taken to avoid non-target
species):
G: glyphosate product registered for use within/proximate to waterways i.e.
Weedmaster Duo®/Roundup Biactive®
MM: metsulfuron methyl product i.e. Brushoff®
G100/G200: 100mL/200mL glyphosate/10L water + surfactant i.e. 20mL LI700/10L
water.
G100 + MM/G200 + MM: 100mL/200mL glyphosate + 1.5g metsulfuron methyl/10L
water + wetting agent i.e. 2mL Agral/10L water
GU: glyphosate undiluted.

*Scheduled by Department of Primary Industries as a ‘restricted invasive plant’ under provisions
of the Biosecurity Act 2014.
Targeted control of the above weeds is to be initially implemented by a bushland regeneration
contractor prior to commencement of the landuse on the site. Weed management works are to
be subsequently implemented monthly throughout the rehabilitation areas for an establishment
phase of three (3) months then quarterly thereafter until such time as cover/structure provided
by native vegetation inhibits further weed invasion.
In addition to target species noted within TABLE 1 above, an inspection of the rehabilitation
areas during each weed management interval for any opportunistic weed species scheduled
as either ‘local’ (refer APPENDIX 3), ‘restricted’ (refer APPENDIX 4) and/or ‘invasive’ (refer
APPENDIX 5) must also be undertaken and control works implemented as necessary.
Depending on stage-of-growth characteristics, the following generic weed control techniques
(refer TABLE 2) are considered suitable for ongoing management of opportunistic weed
species within the rehabilitation areas of the subject site:
TABLE 2: Opportunistic Weed Control Methods
Form Control Method Description
Grass Foliar Herbicide/ Thorough in situ coverage of foliage with appropriately
Manual Removal diluted herbicide* (extreme care must be taken to avoid
Herb Foliar Herbicide/ non-target species). Manual removal of isolated
Manual Removal individuals is an alternative to chemical treatment where
Shrub <1m Foliar Herbicide/ weed invasion is minimal.
Manual Removal
Vine Cut-Stump Cut woody stem at base and apply appropriately diluted
Shrub >1m Cut-Stump herbicide* to growing surface within twenty (20)
Tree <4m Cut-Stump seconds of cutting.
Tree >4m Stem-Injection At chest-height drill 450 downward-sloping holes at
approximately 50mm centres around entire trunk
circumference and inject appropriately diluted
herbicide* to the trunk within twenty (20) seconds of
drilling.
*For water quality purposes a herbicide product registered for use within/proximate to waterways
is to be used in all instances i.e. Weedmaster Duo® or Roundup Biactive®.

Page 15
Note that the abovementioned weed control methods have been chosen specifically to ensure
minimum soil-disturbance (mechanical removal of any weed species from the site is prohibited).
Necessary/due precaution must be exercised during all weed management works to avoid any
damage to existing/planted native species throughout all vegetation strata of the designated
rehabilitation areas.
5.2 Revegetation Works
The designated rehabilitation areas (refer APPENDIX 2) will be subject to revegetation works
for the purpose of enhancing vegetation/habitat/connective values on the site and suppressing
weed invasion due to edge-effects. Given the conditions observed throughout the designated
areas it is considered that revegetation works are to occur via the following two (2) methods:
1. Assisted Regeneration
This methodology, requiring only weed management in accordance with SECTION 5.1
previously, is the primary mode of revegetation to be implemented throughout the designated
rehabilitation area of the site due to variable presence of canopy/midstorey vegetation.
Weed species encountered are to be appropriately managed in accordance with TABLES 1 &
2 previously to suppress further invasion and promote germination of native trees/shrubs/
groundcovers from the existing soil-seed bank.
2. Reconstruction Planting
This methodology will be implemented within the designated rehabilitation area due to the level
of existing disturbance/paucity of native vegetation, as this area will have an ongoing
susceptibility to weed invasion due to edge effects which is to be suppressed via reconstruction
of native vegetation structure/diversity.
Reconstruction plantings must be consistent with the following native vegetation type mapped
for the designated area on DNRMMRRD’s Vegetation Management Pre-clear Regional
Ecosystem Map (refer FIGURE 10) and described under provisions of the Queensland
Herbarium’s Regional Ecosystem Description Database as the following:
Regional Ecosystem: 12.2.7
Vegetation Management Act Least concern
Class:
Biodiversity Status: No concern at present
Subregion: 9, 4, 8, (10)
Estimated Extent: Pre-clearing 30000 ha; Remnant 2021 18000 ha
Extent in Reserves: High
Short Description:
Melaleuca quinquenervia or rarely M. dealbata open forest on sand plains
Description:
Melaleuca quinquenervia or rarely M. dealbata open forest. Other species include
Eucalyptus tereticornis, Corymbia intermedia, E. bancroftii, E. latisinensis, E. robusta,
Lophostemon suaveolens and Livistona decora. A shrub layer may occur with frequent
species including Melastoma malabathricum subsp. malabathricum or Banksia robur. The
ground layer is sparse to dense and comprised of species including the ferns Pteridium
esculentum and Blechnum indicum the sedges Schoenus brevifolius, Baloskion
tetraphyllum subsp. meiostachyum, Machaerina rubiginosa and Gahnia sieberiana and the
grass Imperata cylindrica. Occurs on Quaternary coastal dunes and seasonally
waterlogged sandplains usually fringing drainage system behind beach ridge plains or on
old dunes, swales and sandy coastal creek levees. Palustrine. (BVG1M: 22a).

FIGURE 11: Indicative Open Forest Planting Module
Reconstruction planting works are to occur immediately following completion of the initial weed
management works. To obtain optimum results all plantings are to be implemented in
accordance with the methodology described below:
Native plantings must be healthy with tree species of a single, straight trunk, free of
pests and disease. All tree/small tree/shrub/groundcover specimens must not be pot-
bound or root-girdled;
For each new plant, dig a steep-sided hole 1.5 times the depth (~400mm) and 3 times
the width of the stock container, leaving loose soil in its base for roots to bind with;
Position plant upright in the hole and back-fill soil with moderate pressure to form a
‘well’ around the stem for water retention (soil must be level with top of root-ball);
Hand-soak each plant with approximately 3 – 5 litres of water;
Spread forest mulch around each plant to a depth of 100mm and radius of 1m, avoiding
direct contact of any mulch with the stem/trunk (soil and mulch must also not be mixed).
Such will ensure native vegetation structure and diversity/composition is progressively restored
to its natural state.
5.3 Maintenance/Monitoring
The designated rehabilitation areas must be maintained/monitored in an ongoing capacity to
achieve the performance criteria detailed within SECTION 6.0 following.
Maintenance/monitoring is to occur at routine intervals concurrently with those previously
specified for weed management works (i.e. monthly for an establishment phase of three (3)
months then quarterly thereafter until such time as cover/structure provided by native
vegetation satisfactorily inhibits further weed invasion/edge-effects).
It is recommended that photographs of the reconstruction planting area be taken at each
maintenance interval from permanent monitoring points (refer APPENDIX 2 and PLATES 10
& 11 following) per the following GPS references:

6.0 Rehabilitation Area Performance Criteria
The designated rehabilitation areas (refer APPENDIX 2) must comply with the following
performance criteria at all times:
Existing native species throughout each vegetation strata are retained and protected
from any damage.
Litter/debris/construction waste or any other material foreign to the rehabilitation areas
are absent.
Restricted/invasive weeds are absent.
Reconstruction plantings exceed a 95% survival rate. Further loss must be replaced by
the landowner with stock of equivalent species and vigour. Remaining plantings must
demonstrate healthy conditions (i.e. 100% foliage cover, disease-free, evidence of
active growth, not damaged or under duress, appropriate form/habit for the species).
Mulch within the reconstruction planting zone is maintained at a depth of 100mm.
All vegetation strata exhibit evidence of native regrowth and improvement in structural
variation/diversity.
At practical completion, works are to be certified by an ecologist to ensure that all measures
required by this Rehabilitation Management Plan have been satisfactorily implemented.
