1. Introduction
The Environmental Management Division of Saunders Havill Group was engaged by Verve Building Design and
Concepts to prepare an Ecological Assessment Report for the proposed Cooroy Centre Development at Myall
Street, Cooroy. This report provides a review of the site’s ecological values in accordance with Commonwealth,
State and Local Government legislation and is intended to support a development application to Noosa Shire
Council for a Material Change of Use (MCU). The site layout is provided in Appendix A.
The subject site covers approximately 6.7 hectares and is approximately 1 km south of Cooroy town centre (refer
to site context and aerial maps at Figure 1& Figure 2). The site is fragmented by major arterial networks (Ferrells
Road to the north-west, Bruce Highway to the south-west and Myall Street to the north-east), and is surrounded
by a mixture of rural and residential land uses. The site has been extensively cleared with vegetated areas
concentrated along the property boundaries and the waterway that traverses its south-eastern portion.

e. environmental management ecological assessment report Ecological Assessment Methodology and Process The following steps were undertaken in the preparation of this assessment: e.l. Desktop Analysis Legislation and Policy Review Field Survey Analysis and Recommendation AWN > Desktop Analysis Prior to the commencement of field surveys, a desktop analysis was conducted to identify relevant information for the site. The following information was reviewed: ee. Search of the Commonwealth’s EPBC Protected Matters Search Tool Search of DEHP’s Wildlife Online Database for the study area and surrounds Federal and State Government Environmental Databases State Government Environmental Overlay Mapping i.e. Regulated Vegetation, Koala Habitat Planning Scheme Documents and Maps Field Survey A vegetation survey utilising the following methods was conducted to describe on-site vegetation. General Searches & Species Identification - The allotment was walked to ensure all vegetation communities and species were recorded and identified. Particular attention was paid to any threatened species that were listed as possibly occurring on or within the vicinity of the application site and specific micro assemblages which may support these threatened species; GPS Tree Plot - A plot and schedule of trees comprising the Ecologically Dominant Layer across the site was completed using hand-held GPS units accurate to 1 m. Observational Survey — A detailed observational survey of the vertebrate fauna present on or that may utilise the study area, including faunal lists and significance status of species under the Commonwealth’s Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) that includes the Japan - Australia Migratory Bird Agreement and the Bonn Convention; and Queensland’s Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA); Identification - Identification of habitat values within the area relevant to terrestrial vertebrate fauna, including ecological corridors; and Description — A description of the major fauna habitats present.

3. Legislation, Policy and Planning
Instruments
3.1. Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999
The Australian Government’s key piece of environmental legislation is the Environment Protection and Biodiversity
Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The EPBC Act aims to protect and manage matters of environmental significance
which include nationally and internationally important flora, fauna, ecological communities and heritage places.
A Protected Matters Search for the allotments was undertaken through the Environment Protection and
Biodiversity Conservation Online Protected Matters Search Tool (PMST). The search provides a list of wetlands of
international significance, threatened ecological communities and threatened species which have the potential to
be temporarily or permanently located within the general vicinity of the development site. Table 1 lists a
summary of the search results relevant to the site. The complete results of this search are included in Appendix B.

Amendments to the ‘protected plant’ regulatory framework under the NCA commenced on 31 March 2014,
establishing new approval triggers and processes for clearing protected plants. A protected plant is defined as all
Extinct, Endangered, Vulnerable and/or Near Threatened (EVNT) plant species listed by name in Schedules 1-5 of
the NCWR and Least Concern wildlife, not listed by name but identified as a plant indigenous to Australia in
Schedule 6.
Under the amended NCA, a protected plant that is in the wild must not be taken, which includes being cleared,
unless taking is under:
• A conservation plan applicable to the plant
• A license, permit or other authority under a regulation, or
• An exemption under a regulation
A search of the Flora Survey Trigger Map identifies that the site is not located within a High Risk Area.
3.3. Vegetation Management Act 1999
The Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA) is the key mechanism by which the Queensland Government protects
the State’s environmental resources pertaining to vegetation. Under the VMA, a series of maps delineate
vegetation features across the landscape, each of which are assigned a conservation value directly related to the
remaining extent of these features in the landscape. The VMA also protects ‘essential habitat’ vegetation where
listed threatened species have been known to occur.
saunders havill group Page 12
Page 14
environmental management
ecological assessment report
Under the Vegetation Management Framework Amendment Act 2013 (VMFAA), Regulated Vegetation Management
Mapping shows vegetation categories used to determine clearing requirements. While areas shown on the map as
Category X are not regulated under the VMA, those shown as a Category A, B, C or R are subject to clearing
requirements. The latter vegetation categories can only be cleared in accordance with an exemption, self-
assessable vegetation clearing code, area management plan or development approval. A supporting map
defining Regional Ecosystems, wetlands, watercourses and essential habitat is provided with the Regulated
Vegetation Management Map. Approval for clearing of native vegetation is required under the Sustainable
Planning Act 2009 (SPA); specifically assessment is required against Module 8: Native Vegetation Clearing of the
State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).
Regulated Vegetation Management Mapping identifies the site as containing Category X vegetation, meaning
that the vegetation is not regulated under the VMA (Figure 3). The site is not mapped as having Regional
Ecosystems containing remnant or regrowth vegetation and the supporting map overlay does not include
vegetation management constraints (Figure 4). As the proposal does not require clearing of mapped regulated
vegetation or essential habitat, and clearing of Category X vegetation is exempt, no approvals are required under
the VMA.
3.4. South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning
Regulatory Provisions
The South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions came into effect in May 2010.
The SPRP targets areas of the Koala Coast, and Pine Rivers and areas outside the urban footprint, where koalas are
known to be under the most significant risks (areas previously regulated by the Interim South East Queensland
Koala State Planning Regulatory Provision (February 2010) or the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2006
and Management Program 2006–2026). The SPRP prohibits clearing bushland habitat in the priority areas of Koala
Coast and Pine Rivers, and in areas outside the urban footprint.
The subject site is not located within a Koala Assessable Development Area protected under the Koala SPRP
(Figure 5). The site is mapped as holding koala habitat value under State Planning Policy (2/10): Koala Conservation
in South East Queensland for medium and low value bushland habitat and low value rehabilitation (Figure 5).

3.5. Fisheries Act 1994
The Fisheries Act 1994 deals with the use, conservation and improvement of Queensland’s fisheries resources and
fish habitats. The legislation deals with the impact from coastal development on marine fish habitat, including
protected marine plants and declared fish habitat areas. Development proposals that modify, or have a temporary
or permanent loss of marine fish habitat are assessed by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
Under the Act, Fisheries Spatial Data Layer Mapping identifies areas protected as:
• Fish Habitat Management Areas
• Waterways for Waterway Barrier Works; and
• Tidal Waterways.
Where a developed application involves taking or interfering with fisheries resources, approval must be obtained.
Activities which require a Fisheries Development Approval under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) include:
• Building or operational works in a Declared Fish Habitat Area;
• Aquaculture in tidal water, marine and freshwater; and
• Waterway Barrier works in higher order and tidal waterways.
Where development requires approval to take or interfere with a fisheries resource, an application responding to
Module 5: Fisheries Resources of the State Development Assessment Provision (SDAP) is required.
Moderate and Low value Qld Fisheries mapped waterways traverse the site at its southern extent (Figure 6). The
site is not located within a Fish Habitat Area.

3.6. State Planning Policy
On 2 December 2013, Queensland Government’s single State Planning Policy (SPP) came into effect, replacing the
previous ten (10) State Planning Policies. Part A of the SPP confirms the hierarchical order of the State planning
instruments, with the SPP placed third below the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (Qld) (SPA) and State Planning
Regulatory Provisions (SPRPs), but above Regional Plans, Standard Planning Scheme Provisions and Local
Planning Instruments. Part B confirms the application of the SPP to:
1. Making or amending of a planning scheme;
2. Designation of land for community infrastructure by a Minister;
3. Making or amending a regional plan;
4. Assessment of a development application mentioned in Part E to the extent that the SPP has not been
identified in the planning scheme as being appropriately integrated in the planning scheme; and
5. Carrying out self-assessable development mentioned in Part F.
The core of the SPP is contained in Part D, where it identifies sixteen (16) Matters of State Environmental
Significance (MSES) in land use planning and development, arranged into five (5) broad categories. These State
interests will be consequentially integrated into Local Government Planning Schemes access Queensland. Four (4)
State interests are included within the category of Environment and Heritage, which are:
1. Biodiversity
2. Coastal Environment
3. Cultural Heritage
4. Water Quality
Importantly, Part E of the SPP provides interim development assessment requirements which ensure that state
interests are considered by local government when assessing development applications where the local
government planning scheme does not yet integrate the State interests in the SPP. Interim development
assessment requirements have been prepared for eight (8) of the sixteen (16) State interests, including
Biodiversity, Coastal Environment and Water Quality. In essence, any development application across a site
containing a State interested identified in Part E will need to demonstrate compliance with the interim
development assessment requirements.
The subject site is mapped as containing MSES – Biodiversity (Wildlife), MSES – Biodiversity (Regulated Vegetation
intersecting a waterway), MSES - Water Quality (Water Supply Buffer Area), MSES - Flood Hazard and Bushfire
Hazard (Figure 7).

3.7. Town Planning Instruments
In March 2013 the Noosa community voted to de-amalgamate from the Sunshine Coast Region to form the new
Noosa Local Government Area. Sections of the Draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme applicable to the new Noosa
Local Government were transferred to the new Noosa Shire Council for its consideration. At the time of writing
this report the former planning scheme, The Noosa Plan 2006, is the effective local government planning scheme
for the prescribed Noosa area.
The application property assessed within this Ecological Assessment Report is located within the jurisdiction of
Noosa Shire Council and subject to the provisions of The Noosa Plan and Cooroy and MacDonald Locality Plan. The
subject site is currently zoned as Rural under The Noosa Plan (Figure 8).
The Cooroy and Lake MacDonald Locality Plan states “Cooroy has potential for growth while maintaining the country
town character. In the balance of the location protection of rural settlement character relies on avoiding the
fragmentation of the countryside and largely limiting developments to existing rural communities”.
The Noosa Plan defines rural settlement as “rural settlement means residential development on a lot greater than
2,000m2, regardless of whether the land is also used for hobby farming. “
3.7.1 Environmental Mapping Overlays
The following ecologically related planning scheme overlays are relevant to the site:
Biodiversity (Figure 9)
Natural Resources (Figure 10)
Temporary Local Planning Instrument (Protected Vegetation Overlay)
The Biodiversity Overlay mapping indicates the area surrounding the waterway at the south-eastern extent of the
site is identified as Environmental Protection area and Riparian Buffer Area.
The Natural Resources Overlay mapping indicates that the subject site is within the Water Supply Catchment for
Lake Macdonald and Cedar Pocket dam water supplies.
The Temporary Local Planning Instrument (Protected Vegetation Overlay) applies to the planning scheme area of
The Noosa Plan (prescribed Noosa Area) and states for Category 1, 2 and 3 lots (which includes all freehold lots in
the prescribed Noosa area) all vegetation is protected.

4. Ecological Assessment
4.1. Introduction
A Senior Ecologist from Saunders Havill Group assessed the application site on the 11th March 2014. Weather
conditions were fine and sunny, with rain recorded within the previous 24 hours. The entire allotment was walked
to ensure all vegetation communities and species were recorded and identified. Particular attention was paid to
any threatened flora and fauna species that were listed as possibly occurring on or within the vicinity of the
application site and specific micro assemblages which may support these threatened species.
4.2. Flora Field Observations
The following observations have been made based on field survey:
• A Protected Matters Search generated under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act
1999 (EPBC Act) identified 1 listed Threatened Ecological Community that may occur in the area - Lowland
Rainforest of Subtropical Australia. This ecological community was not observed on- site. In addition, none
of the 21 EPBC Act protected plant species identified as having potential to occur across the site were
observed.
• A search using the Queensland Government Wildlife Online search tool identified 21 listed plants
protected under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld) as having potential to occur across the site. None
of these species were observed on- site.
• A tree plot and schedule located two hundred and nineteen (219) individual specimens along the
northern and western property boundaries as well as along the western edge of the mapped waterway
(see Appendix G for schedule). The ecologically dominant layer throughout the waterway zone was also
recorded.
o Twenty one (21) species were recorded within the tree plot survey, of which eighteen (18)
species are locally native to the Cooroy area. The remaining three (3) have been introduced.
Although the tree plot only recorded a small number of Cinnamomum camphora (Camphor
Laurel) and Pinus Elliot (Slash Pine), these species dominated the road reserve and parts of the
vegetation observed within the mapped waterway.
o The majority of trees recorded are located outside the northern property boundary and Ferrells
Road, and along the edge of the north-eastern boundary along Myall Street. The dominant
species observed was Pinus Elliot (Slash Pine).
o A number of habitat trees containing hollows and bird nests were recorded throughout
vegetation along the property boundaries. While the majority of these habitat trees were dead,
relatively large Eucalyptus grandis (Flooded Gum) and Corymbia intermedia (Pink Bloodwood)
habitat trees were recorded.
o Eighty eight (88) flora species were identified over the application site. Of these species, forty
eight (48) are native to the Cooroy area and the remaining forty (40) are introduced species. A
large portion of these species were identified within the mapped waterway.
A species list of all flora recorded on site is included in Table 3.

4.2.1 Mapped Waterway
• The south-eastern portion of the site is mapped as containing low and medium value Fisheries
waterways. Site surveys identified that a single waterway traverses the site at its southern extent, parallel
to the line of cleared vegetation.
• A large number of introduced species, including Pinus elliottii (Slash Pine) and Cinnamomum camphora
(Camphor Laurel), were recorded amongst the waterway vegetation. Introduced species dominated the
downstream portion of the area adjacent to the Myall Street storm water pipes, especially Cinnamomum
camphora (Camphor Laurel).
• The waterway is fragmented by arterial roads; Myall Street to the north and Bruce Highway to the south.
In turn, the waterway is heavily degraded and highly modified, currently passing through a number of
(seen in Plate 2 below).

4.3. Weeds
Introduced species have been declared under the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002
(LPA). Declared weeds must be managed according to the following.
Class 1 - All landholders are required by law to keep their land free of Class 1 pests.
Class 2 - All landholders must try to keep their land free of Class 2 pests and it is an offence to possess, sell
or release these pests without a permit
Class 3 - A landowner may have to take reasonable action against the weed if it is causing, or has the
potential to cause an adverse impact, on a nearby ‘environmentally significant area’ (e.g. national park). It
is an offence to sell, introduce, release or supply a Class 3 pest.
Environmental weeds are species that are not declared in Queensland, however, they have or could have a serious
impact on bushland areas. While Noosa Shire Council does not have its own environmental weeds list, many
environmental weeds listed in Sunshine Coast Council’s Environmental Weeds Identification Guide were recorded
in the application area.
Weed species identified on site are listed in Table 4.

4.4. Basic Fauna Observations
A basic fauna assessment was conducted across the application site to identify and describe on-site habitat
features (habitat trees, fallen logs, termite mounds, roosting sites etc.), signs of fauna activity (scats, tracks, scratch
marks on trees, nests etc.) and observations of species present. Consideration was also given to the ecological
significance of the site in the context of the local area and the broader region. No specific surveys for reptiles
(pitfall traps), nocturnal animals (spotlighting) or amphibians (frog call recognition) were used as part of the fauna
survey.
The purpose of this assessment was to ensure that all rare, threatened and endangered species that were listed as
potentially existing within the site were identified and targeted during field investigations. Efforts were also
placed on identifying any plant species that potentially provide habitat or foraging/food resources to fauna that
saunders havill group Page 28
Page 30
environmental management
ecological assessment report
exist on-site or utilise the site temporarily throughout the year. A likelihood of occurrence schedule for threatened
species is listed in Appendix H.
The site is highly modified having been largely cleared of vegetation and bound by major arterial networks to the
north and south. Ecological values associated with the site are confined to the degraded waterway at the southern
extent. The site presents limited opportunities to provide habitat connectivity due to surrounding development
and usage is limited to common and highly mobile species. Fauna observations discussed below reflect this.
The following fauna and habitat observations were made throughout the ecological assessment.
4.4.1 Mammals
• The majority of the site does not contain the critical mix of ecologically dominant canopy trees and dense
understorey communities needed to support shelter and nesting requirements of most listed small
mammals. The Grey-headed Flying Fox may still utilise the site when eucalypts and Corymbia specimens
are in flower, however, no nesting colony was observed on or adjacent to the site.
• No signs of other listed species or suitable habitat were observed on the subject site. This is likely due to
the discussed clearing and the introduction of non-native predator species both of a feral and domestic
variety (signs of Cats, and Dogs observed) and the intensive urban development surrounding the
application site, including the adjacent Bruce Highway.
• Tree scratching and other markings demonstrated site trees are used by Common Brush Tail Possums. No
trees were observed to contain hollows to provide for roosting and foraging for these possum species or
microchiropteran Bat species.
• No other critical features such as caves, outcrops etc. occur on site to provide more than a temporary
foraging role as part of a larger habitat base.
4.4.2 Birds
• The majority of on-site observations were of locally occurring common bird species. Numerous records
for birds are included in both the Wildlife Online report and EBPC database search for the proximity of the
site. A large majority of these listings are migratory species with the site not containing the necessary
habitat such as wetlands and major rivers for these species to be relevant.
• The site’s tree specimens do cater for a small but diverse range or common species including the Pied
Butcherbird, Laughing Kookaburra, Australian Magpie, Crested Pigeon, Pale headed Rosella, and Rainbow
Lorikeet. The level of understorey clearing limits the effectiveness of the area in providing sanctuary for
birds as well as the number of exotic specimens integrated amongst native species.
4.4.3 Reptiles
• Site species observed are all listed as common with the specific high level optimal habitat requirements
of listed threatened species not occurring on the application site. Specific attempts were made to check
under fallen logs, within the leaf litter and any habitat that would support reptile species.
• Only common reptile species were observed at the time of the assessment.
4.4.4 Amphibians
• It is noted that the adjacent waterway in its current condition would not support enough features that
provide habitat for native amphibian species. This highly disturbed waterway is dominated by introduced
saunders havill group Page 29

flora species and at the time of the assessment contained stagnant water in small ponded areas adjacent
to the stormwater pipes.
• A number of juvenile and adult Bufo marinus (Cane Toad) individuals were observed throughout the
mapped waterway.
The following species were observed either on-site or adjacent as fly-overs at the time of the assessment.

5. Conclusion
A Basic Ecological Assessment was conducted over the site of the Cooroy Centre Development at Myall Street in
March 2014 to describe ecological values present. The survey effort was designed to provide adequate information
to guide the site layout and respond to Federal, State and local government requirements for the works within
Noosa Shire Council. The following conclusions have been made:
One (1) critically endangered ecological community (Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia) is listed
as potentially occurring within the local area. No evidence of this vegetation community was observed on
or immediately adjacent to the site.
No fauna or flora listed under the EPBC Act (Table 1) or NC Act (Table 2) were recorded in, or are
expected to inhabit or utilise the study site (Section 4 and Appendix H).
The site has been periodically cleared due to historical land use practice. As a consequence the site is
mapped as Category X vegetation and does not contain regulated vegetation for assessment against the
VMA.
The site is mapped as containing a Medium and Low value waterway. No works are anticipated to occur
within the waterways on-site.
The subject site is mapped as containing MSES – Biodiversity (Wildlife), MSES – Biodiversity (Regulated
Vegetation intersecting a waterway), MSES - Water Quality (Water Supply Buffer Area), MSES - Flood
Hazard and Bushfire Hazard (Figure 7).
The site is heavily disturbed and fragmented due to historical clearing and surrounding major arterial
transport networks. Site surveys identified that the project area contains limited ecological value, with
potential features confined to the south-eastern portion of the site associated with the waterway.
The south-eastern extent of the site is mapped within the Environmental Protection Area and Riparian
Buffer under the Noosa Plan (Plan 1). The majority of the Environmental Protection Area is proposed to be
protected and with an additional 10 m buffer is proposed between the existing tree drip line and the
development footprint. While a small portion of the development is proposed to encroach the north-west
corner of the mapped Environmental Protection Area, this area is not identified to contain riparian
vegetation and environmental values associated with the site will be maintained.
Mapping indicates that the Riparian Buffer Area overlays cleared vegetation on the site adjacent to the
waterway. Site surveys have identified that this area has been extensively cleared and maintained and
holds limited to no ecological value.
A number of trees identified as native local species will removed as from the northern boundary adjacent
to Environmental Protection Area. These trees impede visual access when entering and existing the site
from Myall Street. Compensatory landscaping along Ferrells Road with native trees will
provide permanent habitat opportunities for terrestrial and avi-fauna species visiting the site.
In summary, the Myall Street site is bounded by major arterial transport networks and is heavily degraded due to
historical clearing and adjacent developments. Overall habitat opportunities are limited to the south-eastern
portion of the site containing the waterway and a few scattered mature eucalypts within the site boundaries.

environmental management ecological assessment report 5.1. Recommendations Based on the field survey and the current proposal layout, the following parameters have been recommended for this and future development applications: 5.11 Vegetation Clearing and Management Plan A Vegetation Clearing and Management Plan (VCMP) should form part of the broader management document submitted as part of the Operational Works application. = Clearly shown trees to either be removed or retained = Allcivil works likely to impact on existing vegetation = Temporary and permanent exclusion and protection fencing = Roles and responsibilities for site contractors = Stockpiling and access locations = Aclearing sequence plan showing the commencement of clearing = Links to weed management and revegetation proposals (specifically for Declared Pest species) = The stock piling and reuse of cleared vegetation = Specific details on the removal of previously identified potential fauna habitat trees = Where trees are to be retained within disturbance zones they should be accompanied by an arborist’s report incorporated into the VCMP 5.12 Fauna Management Plan A Fauna Management Plan (FMP) should be prepared for potential impacts of the construction phase covering the loss of vegetated areas, isolated trees and likely barriers and impediments to local fauna dispersal. The FMP should link closely with the VCMP and include details on: = Species surveyed using the site with a focus on those most likely impacted by development works = Alist of relevant State and Commonwealth legislation constraints and controls for the above listed fauna = Aplan showing existing habitat opportunities and locations = Details of the threats to existing fauna species = Clearing sequence from the VCMP = Management and mitigation measures — could include temporary use of fauna exclusion fencing = Fauna spotter role, contacts and certification = Specific fauna management procedures for potential known habitat trees Sisaunders havill group Page 34

Caveat
The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at
the end of the report.
This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining
obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped
locations of World Heritage and Register of National Estate properties, Wetlands of International
Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species
and listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this
stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions.
Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general
guide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the
data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to consider
the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.
For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from
recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened
ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data
are used to produce indicative distribution maps.
For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plans
and detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicated
under 'type of presence'. For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collated
from government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimatic
distribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps are
based solely on expert knowledge.
Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:
- migratory and
- marine
The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports
produced from this database:
- threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants
- some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed
- some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area
- migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers
The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:
- non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites
- seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent
Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

the presence of the watercourse and geographic
distribution.
Occurs in freshwater swamps and lakes in lowland coastal
areas in associated vegetation communities such as
heath, sedgeland and woodland on nutrient-poor sandy
soils. Observed in disturbed heath habitat.

Vulnerable National Park in south-east Queensland to Kurnell in
Sydney and on the sand islands off the Queensland coast
(Fraser, Bribie, Moreton and North Stradbroke Islands).
This species is unlikely to occur due to lack of suitable
habitat.
The Giant barred frog occurs in uplands and lowlands in
rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest, including farmland.

Ornithoptera Richmond Vulnerable This species was originally plentiful in the east coast
richmondia birdwing subtropical areas from Maryborough, south-eastern Qld to
Grafton in north-eastern NSW, but its breeding
distribution is now restricted to fragmented patches from
Kin Kin to the Glasshouse Mountains and west as far as
Kenilworth on the Sunshine Coast, and from about
Ormeau on the Gold Coast south to Wardell in NSW.
Habitats are nearly always on rich soils, such as those of
volcanic origin (e.g. basalt-derived) or of alluvial origin
(e.g. in riparian zones near watercourses).
This species has the potential to occur on site due to
the presence of the watercourse and geographic
distribution.
