Environmental Impact Report Summary Beach Energy Limited and its group subsidiaries (Beach) hold a number of petroleum exploration, production and retention licences in the onshore Otway Basin in the South East of South Australia. This Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared by Beach under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000 to cover Beach’s ongoing geophysical operations in the region. Previous EIRs (and associated Statements of Environmental Objectives (SEO)) covering geophysical operations in the Otway Basin region were developed by the Department of Energy and Mining (DEM) (see Roberts, 2001; Annear, 2013). This EIR (and associated SEO) updates and supersedes previous EIRs and SEOs developed to cover geophysical activities in the region.

  • Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 Protected Flora List November 2019
    Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 Protected Flora List November 2019 What is Protected Flora? Protected flora are native plants or communities of native plants that have legal protection under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988. The Protected Flora List includes plants from three sources: plant taxa (species, subspecies or varieties) listed as threatened under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 plant taxa belonging to communities listed as threatened under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 plant taxa which are not threatened but require protection for other reasons. For example, some species which are attractive or highly sought after, such as orchids and grass trees, are protected so that the removal of these species from the wild can be controlled. For all listed species protection includes living (eg flowers, seeds, shoots and roots) and non-living (eg bark, leaves and other litter) plant material. Do I need a permit or licence? The handling of protected flora is regulated by the Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning (DELWP) to ensure that any harvesting or loss is ecologically sustainable. You must obtain a ‘Protected Flora Licence’ or Permit from one of the Regional Offices of DELWP if you want to collect protected native plants or if you are planning to do works or other activities on public land which might kill, injure or disturb protected native plants. In most cases, you do not require a Licence or Permit for works or activities on private land, although you may require a planning permit from your local council.
