Ecological Assessment Report for Proposed Hinterland Adventure Playground – Noosa Shire Council

3.2.2 Threatened Fauna
Potential species given the vegetation and landscape position, that are considered threatened under
the NC Act are listed in table 3

 Table 3: Potential species listed under NC Act

 Scientific Name                         Common Name                                              NC status

 Ornithoptera richmondia                 Richmond Birdwing Butterfly                                 V
 Litoria pearsoniana                     Pearson’s Frog/Cascade Frog                                 V

 Adelotus brevis                         Tusked Frog                                                 V
 Calyptorhynchus lathami                 Glossy Black-Cockatoo (Eastern)                             V



At the time of the survey no individuals of the species in Table 3 were observed, however due to the
survey being held in winter, detection of frogs and the Ornithoptera richmondia (Richmond Birdwing
Butterfly) is unlikely and/or difficult.

It needs to be outlined that these species have been sighted in past observations at LMS and
absence during this survey could be due to seasonal timing.




3.3 General Observations
3.3.1 Bird
A number of bird species were observed during the survey with no listed threatened species
identified. A pair of Calyptorhynchus funereus (Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo), listed as ‘Secure Least
Concern’ under the NCA, were observed feeding on Banksia robur (Swamp Banksia) seed capsules
outside of the Bird transect (Figure 6)
