Reference Document - RAL26 0015 - Rehabilitation Management Plan (As Published) · RAL26/0015

                     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:

                         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
