210055 - 327 Kinmond Creek Road, COOTHARABA - Flora Trigger Assessment Report

1.0        Introduction
1.1        Background
Green Tape Solutions was commissioned by Sarah Pearson to undertake a protected plants flora survey of
the approved development site for 327 Kinmond Creek Road, Cootharaba (Lot 1 RP 184574).

The proposed development on the site consists of a new dwelling house, associated outbuildings and
driveway. An existing cleared vehicle track provides access to the proposed development site from Richards
Road, however access may be upgraded as part of the proposed development. The proposed concept plan
for the development is provided in Figure 2. The development will require some removal of vegetation on site.

The objective of this report is to detail the findings of targeted threatened flora species searches on site and
where required, recommend suitable mitigation measures to minimise any potential impacts that the
development would have on any threatened flora species found on site.

This flora report has been structured to provide information consistent with the requirements of the Queensland
Department of Environment and Sciences (DES) Protected Plants Assessment Guidelines (DES, 2020). It
demonstrates legislative compliance with the Noosa Planning Scheme (under the provisions of the Planning
Act 2016), the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), the Nature
Conservation Act 2002 (NC Act) and the Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation 2006 (NCWR).
