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

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
