Summary Matters of National Environmental Significance This part of the report summarises the matters of national environmental significance that may occur in, or may relate to, the area you nominated. Further information is available in the detail part of the report, which can be accessed by scrolling or following the links below. If you are proposing to undertake an activity that may have a significant impact on one or more matters of national environmental significance then you should consider the Administrative Guidelines on Significance. World Heritage Properties: None National Heritage Places: None Wetlands of International Importance: None Great Barrier Reef Marine Park: None Commonwealth Marine Area: None Listed Threatened Ecological Communities: 2 Listed Threatened Species: 43 Listed Migratory Species: 18 Other Matters Protected by the EPBC Act This part of the report summarises other matters protected under the Act that may relate to the area you nominated. Approval may be required for a proposed activity that significantly affects the environment on Commonwealth land, when the action is outside the Commonwealth land, or the environment anywhere when the action is taken on Commonwealth land. Approval may also be required for the Commonwealth or Commonwealth agencies proposing to take an action that is likely to have a significant impact on the environment anywhere. The EPBC Act protects the environment on Commonwealth land, the environment from the actions taken on Commonwealth land, and the environment from actions taken by Commonwealth agencies. As heritage values of a place are part of the 'environment', these aspects of the EPBC Act protect the Commonwealth Heritage values of a Commonwealth Heritage place. Information on the new heritage laws can be found at http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage A permit may be required for activities in or on a Commonwealth area that may affect a member of a listed threatened species or ecological community, a member of a listed migratory species, whales and other cetaceans, or a member of a listed marine species.

Matters of National Environmental Significance
Listed Threatened Ecological Communities [ Resource Information ]
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.

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 and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of International
and National 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.
Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been derived through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and if
time permits, maps are derived using either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc) together with point
locations and described habitat; or environmental modelling (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental data
layers.
Where very little information is available for species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04
or 0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull);
or captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc). In the early stages of the distribution mapping
process (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to rapidly create distribution maps. More reliable
distribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions as time permits.
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.

Recent changes
Updated mapping
The Regulated Vegetation Management Map and Supporting Map was updated in June 2019 to reflect the most up to date
information available in relation to regional ecosystems, essential habitat and wetland mapping (Version 11).
Overview
Based on the lot on plan details you have supplied, this report provides the following detailed information:
• Vegetation management framework - an explanation of the application of the framework.
• Property details - information about the specified Lot on Plan, lot size, local government area, bioregion(s),
subregion(s), catchment(s), coastal or non coastal status, and any applicable area management plans associated with
your property.
• Vegetation management details for the specified Lot on Plan - specific information about your property including
vegetation categories, regional ecosystems, watercourses, wetlands, essential habitat, and protected plants.
• Contact information.
• Maps - a series of colour maps to assist in identifying regulated vegetation on your property.
• Other legislation contact information.
This information will assist you to determine your options for managing vegetation under the vegetation management
framework, which may include:
• exempt clearing work
• accepted development vegetation clearing code
• an area management plan
• a development approval.
Other laws
The clearing of native vegetation is regulated by both Queensland and Australian legislation, and some local governments
also regulate native vegetation clearing. You may need to obtain an approval or permit under another Act, such as
Queensland's Protected Plants framework or the Commonwealth Government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity
Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Section 6 of this guide provides contact details of other agencies you should confirm
requirements with, before commencing vegetation clearing.

1. Vegetation management framework
The Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA), the Vegetation Management Regulation 2012, the Planning Act 2016 and the
Planning Regulation 2017, in conjunction with associated policies and codes, form the Vegetation Management Framework.
The VMA does not apply to all land tenures or vegetation types. State forests, national parks, forest reserves and some
tenures under the Forestry Act 1959 and Nature Conservation Act 1992 are not regulated by the VMA. Managing or clearing
vegetation on these tenures may require approvals under these laws.
The following native vegetation is not regulated under the VMA but may require permit(s) under other laws:
• grass or non-woody herbage;
• a plant within a grassland regional ecosystem prescribed under Schedule 5 of the Vegetation Management
Regulation 2012; and
• a mangrove.
1.1 Exempt clearing work
Exempt clearing work is an activity for which you do not need to notify DNRME or obtain an approval approval under the
vegetation management framework. Exempt clearing work was previously known as exemptions.
In areas that are mapped as Category X (white in colour) on the regulated vegetation management map (see section 5.1),
and where the land tenure is freehold, indigenous land and leasehold land for agriculture and grazing purposes, the clearing
of vegetation is considered exempt clearing work and does not require notification or development approval approval under
the vegetation management framework. For all other land tenures, contact DNRME before commencing clearing to ensure
that the proposed activity is exempt clearing work.
A range of routine property management activities are considered exempt clearing work. A list of exempt clearing work is
available at
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/exemptions/.
Exempt clearing work may be affected if the proposed clearing area is subject to development approval conditions, a
covenant, an environmental offset, an exchange area, a restoration notice, or an area mapped as Category A. Exempt
clearing work may require approval under other Commonwealth, State or Local Government laws, or local government
planning schemes. Contact DNRME prior to clearing in any of these areas.
1.2 Accepted development vegetation clearing codes
Some clearing activities can be undertaken under an accepted development vegetation clearing code. The codes can be
downloaded at
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/codes/
If you intend to clear vegetation under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, you must notify DNRME before
commencing. The information in this report will assist you to complete the online notification form.
You can complete the online form at
https://apps.dnrm.qld.gov.au/vegetation/
Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2019 Page 5
Page 21
1.3 Area management plans
Area Management Plans (AMP) provide an alternative approval system for vegetation clearing under the vegetation
management framework. They list the purposes and clearing conditions that have been approved for the areas covered by
the plan. It is not necessary to use an AMP, even when an AMP applies to your property.
AMPs for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation and managing encroachment will continue until March 2020.
New notifications cannot be made for these AMPs.
New notifications can be made for all other AMPs. These will continue to apply until their nominated end date.
If an area management plan applies to your property for which you can make a new notification, it will be listed in Section 2.2
of this report. Before clearing under one of these AMPs, you must first notify the DNRME and then follow the conditions and
requirements listed in the AMP.
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/area-plans/
1.4 Development approvals
If under the vegetation management framework your proposed clearing is not exempt clearing work, or is not permitted under
an accepted development vegetation clearing code, or an AMP, you may be able to apply for a development approval.
Information on how to apply for a development approval is available at
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/development

3.2 Regional ecosystems
The endangered, of concern and least concern regional ecosystems on your property are shown on the vegetation
management supporting map in section 5.2 and are listed in Table 5.
A description of regional ecosystems can be accessed online at
https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/plants-animals/plants/ecosystems/descriptions/
Table 5: Regional ecosystems present on subject property
Regional Ecosystem VMA Status Category Area (Ha) Short Description Structure Category
non-rem None X 4.07 None None
Please note:
1. All area and area derived figures included in this table have been calculated via reprojecting relevant spatial features to Albers equal-area conic projection
(central meridian = 146, datum Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994). As a result, area figures may differ slightly if calculated for the same features using a
different co-ordinate system.
2. If Table 5 contains a Category 'plant', please be aware that this refers to 'plantations' such as forestry, and these areas are considered non-remnant under
the VMA.
The VMA status of the regional ecosystem (whether it is endangered, of concern or least concern) also determines if any of
the following are applicable:
• exempt clearing work
• accepted development vegetation clearing codes
• performance outcomes in State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).
3.3 Watercourses
Vegetation management watercourses and drainage features for this property are shown on the vegetation management
supporting map in section 5.2.
3.4 Wetlands
There are no vegetation management wetlands present on this property.
3.5 Essential habitat
Protected wildlife is native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA), and includes endangered,
vulnerable or near-threatened wildlife.
Essential habitat for protected wildlife includes suitable habitat on the lot, or where a species has been known to occur up to
1.1 kilometres from a lot on which there is assessable vegetation. These important habitat areas are protected under the
VMA.
Any essential habitat on this property will be shown as blue hatching on the vegetation supporting map in section 5.2.
If essential habitat is identified on the lot, information about the protected wildlife species is provided in Table 6 below. The
numeric labels on the vegetation management supporting map can be cross referenced with Table 6 to outline the essential
habitat factors for that particular species. There may be essential habitat for more than one species on each lot, and areas of
Category A, Category B and Category C can be mapped as Essential Habitat.
Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records. Regional
ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated. Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means an
area of vegetation shown on the Regulated Vegetation Management Map as assessable vegetation -
1) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors
that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat database. Essential habitat factors are
comprised of - regional ecosystem (mandatory for most species), vegetation community, altitude, soils, position in
landscape; or
2) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.
Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2019 Page 9

3.6 Protected plants (administered by the Department of Environment and
Science (DES))
In Queensland, all plants that are native to Australia are protected plants under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA),
with clearing of protected plants in the wild regulated by the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006.
These requirements apply irrespective of the classification of the vegetation under the Vegetation Management Act 1999.
Prior to clearing, if the plants proposed to be cleared are in the wild (see Operational policy: When a protected plant in
Queensland is considered to be 'in the wild') and the exemptions under the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management)
Regulation 2006 are not applicable to the proposed clearing, you must check the flora survey trigger map to determine if any
part of the area to be cleared is within a high risk area. The trigger map for this property is provided in section 5.6. The
exemptions relate to:
• imminent risk of death or serious injury (refer s261A)
• imminent risk of serious damage to a building or other structure on land, or to personal property (refer s261B)
• Fire and Emergency Service Act 1990 (refer 261C)
• previously cleared areas (refer s261ZB)
• maintenance activities (refer s261ZC)
• firebreak or fire management line (refer s261ZD)
• accepted development vegetation clearing code (refer s261ZE)
• conservation purposes (refer s261ZG)
• authorised in particular circumstances (refer s385).
Some exemptions under the NCA are the same as exempt clearing work (formerly known as exemptions) from the Vegetation
Management Act 1999 (i.e. listed in the Planning Regulations 2017) while some are different.
If the proposed area to be cleared is shown as high risk on the flora survey trigger map, a flora survey of the clearing impact
area must be undertaken in accordance with the flora survey guidelines. The main objective of a flora survey is to locate any
endangered, vulnerable or near threatened plants (EVNT plants) that may be present in the clearing impact area.
If a flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are not present within the clearing impact area or clearing within 100m of EVNT
plants can be avoided, the clearing activity is exempt from a permit. An exempt clearing notification form must be submitted to
the Department of Environment and Science, with a copy of the flora survey report, at least one week prior to clearing. The
clearing must be conducted within two years after the flora survey report was submitted.
If a flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared, a clearing permit is
required before any clearing is undertaken. The flora survey report, as well as an impact management report, must be
submitted with the application form clearing permit.
In an area other than a high risk area, a clearing permit is only required where a person is, or becomes aware that EVNT
plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared. You must keep a copy of the flora survey trigger map for the
area subject to clearing for five years from the day the clearing starts. If you do not clear within the 12 month period that the
flora survey trigger map was printed, you need to print and check a new flora survey trigger map.

Protected plants flora survey trigger map The protected plants flora survey trigger map identifies 'high risk areas' where endangered, vulnerable or near threatened plants are known to exist or are likely to exist. Under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (the Act) it is an offence to clear protected plants that are 'in the wild' unless you are authorised or the clearing is exempt, for more information see section 89 of the Act. Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for information on what exemptions may apply in your circumstances, whether you may need to undertake a flora survey, and whether you may need a protected plants clearing permit. Updates to the data informing the flora survey trigger map The flora survey trigger map will be reviewed, and updated if necessary, at least every 12 months to ensure the map reflects the most up-to-date and accurate data available. Species information Please note that flora survey trigger maps do not identify species associated with 'high risk areas'. While some species information may be publicly available, for example via the Queensland Spatial Catalogue, the Department of Environment and Science does not provide species information on request. Regardless of whether species information is available for a particular high risk area, clearing plants in a high risk area may require a flora survey and/or clearing permit. Please see the Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for more information.

Lot on Plan Search I refer to your application in which you requested advice on Aboriginal cultural heritage places recorded on the above location. The Cultural Heritage Database and Register search has been completed and I would like to advise that no Aboriginal cultural heritage is currently recorded in your specific search area, from the data provided by you. However, it is probable that the absence of recorded Aboriginal cultural heritage places reflects a lack of previous cultural heritage surveys of the area. Therefore, our records are not likely to reflect a true picture of the Aboriginal cultural heritage values of the area. I note that, pursuant to the Cultural Heritage Duty of Care Guidelines, you have advised that the proposed activity is a 'Category 5 activity'. As such, I take this opportunity to remind you that in accordance with those Guidelines:- Where an activity is proposed under category 5 there is generally a high risk that it could harm Aboriginal cultural heritage. In these circumstances, the activity should not proceed without cultural heritage assessment. Where an activity is proposed under category 5, it is necessary to notify the Aboriginal Party and seek: (a) Advice as to whether the feature constitutes Aboriginal cultural heritage; and (b) If it does, agreement as to how best the activity may be managed to avoid or minimise harm to any Aboriginal cultural heritage. I remind you also that the extent to which the person has complied with Cultural Heritage Duty of Care Guidelines and the extent to which the person consulted with Aboriginal parties about the carrying out of the activity, and the results of the consultation are factors a court may consider when determining if a party has complied with the duty of care. Please refer to our website www.datsip.qld.gov.au/people-communities/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-cultural- heritage for a copy of the gazetted Cultural Heritage duty of care guidelines, which set out reasonable and practical measures for meeting the duty of care. Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact the approval officer on (07) 3405 3050. Kind regards The Director Cultural Heritage | Community Participation | Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Nov 27, 2019, 3:34 PM
