The mapped ecosystems are recognised as having the following potential significant plant species
values:
12.2.5. Potential habitat for NCA listed plant species: Acacia attenuata, Acacia baueri subsp.
baueri, Boronia rivularis, Durringtonia paludosa, Glycine argyrea, Macarthuria complanata,
Maundia triglochinoides, Persicaria elatior, Phaius australis. This ecosystem is also known to
provide suitable habitat for koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus).
12.2.7. Habitat for threatened plant species including Phaius australis, P. bernaysii and near
threatened species including Durringtonia paludosa. This ecosystem is also known to provide
suitable habitat for koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus).
12.2.13. Habitat for threatened plant species including Allocasuarina emuina, Acacia attenuata, A.
baueri subsp. baueri, Prasophyllum wallum and near threatened species including Macarthuria
complanata.
12.2.15. Potential habitat for NCA listed plant species: Durringtonia paludosa, Eleocharis difformis,
Maundia triglochinoides, Thelypteris confluens.
Ecosystems
Most of Castaways Beach Foreshore Reserve, Marcus Beach Foreshore Reserve, Peregian
Beach Foreshore Reserve North, Peregian Beach Foreshore Reserve South and Peregian Creek
Bushland Reserve are mapped as remnant Regional Ecosystem (RE) 12.2.14.
About two thirds of Sunrise Beach Foreshore Reserve and Sunshine Beach Foreshore Reserve
are mapped as High Value Regrowth (HVR) 12.2.14.
Detailed regional ecosystem mapping of the EBFRs was undertaken in 2021-22, with significant
expansion of mapped high value regrowth and some expansion of mapped RE. In 2021 mapped
HVR and RE was 87.3 ha, in 2022 126.9 ha was mapped. Small areas of four new REs, 12.2.5
(HVR), 12.2.7 (RE), 12.2.13 (HVR), and 12.2.15 (RE) were mapped, probably due to more detailed
mapping than developing regrowth.

Hydrology
Some of the ecosystems and plant and animal species in the EBFRs are groundwater dependant –
they depend on specific groundwater conditions including groundwater level, retention (e.g., due to
coffee rock or peat layers), pH, salinity, gradient pressure, and nutrient profile. Bores and other
extraction, drains, paths, earthworks and introduced materials can impact on the groundwater
profiles, as can climate change factors discussed below.
