5.0       LEGISLATIVE AND PLANNING OVERVIEW

State and Commonwealth database searches were completed for the site to identify known records
or potential occurrences of Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) as well as Matters
of State Environmental Significance (MSES), including significant flora and fauna species, threatened
ecological communities, Regional Ecosystems (REs) and referable wetlands. Database searches
were undertaken within a 1 kilometre (km) radius of the site centred on -26.396°, E 152.883°.
       Desktop searches covered the following databases and mapping sources:
       EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool (DotEE 2013a);
       Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP) Wildlife Online database (DEHP
        2013a);
       Regulated Vegetation Mapping v.1.2 (DNRM 2017);
       State Planning Policy Mapping (DILGP 2017);
       State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) Interactive Mapping (SDAP)
       Map of Referable Wetlands (DEHP 2013b);
       Protected Plants Trigger Map (DEHP 2017); and
       Koala SPRP Maps (DEHP 2012).
