EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned to prepare an Ecological Assessment Report for land formally described as Lot 2 on RP175548 located at 112 Eudlo Road, Mooloolah Valley. The report was requested to identify the environmental values of the site and assess the impacts of a proposed Reconfiguration of a Lot development application related to the site. The outcomes of the environmental investigations identified the following: · The site supports local and State level biodiversity values. · The assessment area is mapped within the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 as containing the following: o Native Vegetation Areas; o Stream Order 1 – 2 Waterway; o Stream Order 3 – 4 Waterway; o Riparian Protection Area; and o Wetlands. · Category B regulated vegetation is mapped within the site. The regulated vegetation is mapped as host to the following Regional Ecosystems (RE): o ‘Of concern’ RE 12.3.11 which is described as Eucalyptus tereticornis +/- Eucalyptus siderophloia, Corymbia intermedia open forest on alluvial plains near coast; and o ‘Endangered’ RE 12.3.1 which is described as Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains. · Two vegetation communities were observed within the site: o Vegetation Community 1 (VC 1) – Tall open Eucalypt forest with rainforest understorey; and o Vegetation Community 2 (VC 2) – Open Eucalypt forest with grassy to shrubby understorey. · If approved, the existing plan would allow approximately 6,339m2 of mapped Native Vegetation Area containing VC 1 which could be cleared under future exempt clearing rights that would be created by approval of the application. Much of the vegetation exposed to possible clearing is located within 10m of a mapped Stream Order 1-2 waterway and is considered to be an Ecologically Important Area. The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be compliant as follows: · Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014, Code 8.2.3 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands – The current Lot 2 BLE is unlikely to be approved due to assessable clearing of mapped Native Vegetation Area within 10m of a mapped Stream Order 1-2 Waterway. It is recommended that the Lot 2 Building envelope be reduced in size to remove all vegetation clearing from within 10m of the mapped Stream Order 1-2 Waterway. · Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Further compliance required: o A fauna spotter/catcher is required to be present during vegetation clearing. · Vegetation Management Act 1999 and the associated State Code 16: Native Vegetation Clearing – Referrable. Current Lot 2 BLE is unlikely to be approved due to assessable clearing of mapped ‘of concern’ vegetation which contains a watercourse and essential habitat for the koala. The eastern limit of the Lot 2 BLE can be relocated approximately 17m to the west to avoid assessable clearing. · Schedule 11 of the Planning Regulation 2017 (Development on premises in koala priority areas not interfering with koala habitat) – It is recommended that the proposed Lot 2 BLE is

reduced to avoid the extent of mapped core koala habitat by a distance of 45m thereby removing the koala habitat area from future exempt clearing opportunities associated with bushfire protection. · Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 – Generally compliant. No threatened flora species or threatened ecologically communities present. The limited amount of clearing proposed is considered unlikely to trigger a significant impact to any potential matters of national environmental significance if present within the site.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations are set to reduce the environmental impact of the proposal: · The Lot 2 BLE be reduced and reshaped, whilst accommodating the recommended bushfire setbacks, to minimise clearing impacts to the adjacent native vegetation, and in particular to prevent clearing impacts within 10m of the top of bank of the northerly and southerly adjacent waterways. This will likely require accurate survey of the watercourses to determine the location of their respective high banks fronting the BLE. · The Lot 2 BLE be offset 45m from the easterly adjacent regulated vegetation, thereby avoiding assessable clearing impacts under State Code 16 as well as possible offsetting obligations for impacts to regulated vegetation including a watercourse and essential habitat for the koala; · The Lot 2 BLE be offset 45m from the easterly adjacent mapped Core Koala habitat area situated within a Priority Koala Area to generate default compliance with Schedule 11, Part 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017; · Conservation Covenants are registered over all areas of retained bushland; · A Bushland Rehabilitation Plan is prepared by a suitably experienced ecologist to direct the restoration of the retained bushland, including any required biodiversity offset; · A suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher is present during vegetation clearing; · A Vegetation Clearing and Fauna Management Plan is prepared by a suitable qualified and experienced ecologist to direct the clearing of vegetation from the site and the protection of fauna during site clearing; and · Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures are enacted prior to site clearing and for the life of the development to prevent sedimentation of the local waterways.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned to prepare an Ecological Assessment Report for land formally described as Lot 2 on RP175548 located at 112 Eudlo Rd, Mooloolah Valley (referred to herein as ‘the site’). The report was requested to identify the environmental values of the site and to determine the suitability of a Reconfiguration of a Lot development application to be submitted to Sunshine Coast Council. The scope of works addressed in this report comprises: · A desktop assessment of the potential ecological planning constraints acting on the site; · A site inspection to ‘ground truth’ the results of the desktop findings; · A flora and fauna habitat survey of the site; · A discussion of the likely impacts of the proposed development on the ecological resources identified through the desktop and field investigations; · Analysis of compliance with relevant government environmental assessment frameworks identified through the desktop assessment process; and · Identification of suitable mitigation measures to minimise the environmental impacts of the proposed development and to assist in securing relevant development permits. 1.2 Development Proposal The applicant seeks to subdivide the site into 2 allotments, with an existing dwelling retained within each of the new allotments. A Building Envelope has also been defined within proposed Lot 2 which contains the existing dwelling, shed and driveway formation. Access to Lot 1 is to be achieved through a proposed access easement to be contained within Lot 2. The Plan of Development has been included as Appendix 1. 1.3 Site Description The site measures 5.07ha and is located on the eastern side of Eudlo Road in a predominantly rural area. A mosaic of open maintained grass areas and native vegetation assemblages occur within the property. Remnant and regrowth vegetation communities are present within the site and extend beyond the site into adjacent properties predominantly along drainage lines and steep hillslopes. Ephemeral drainage lines are located flanking the northern and southern boundaries, with a permanent watercourse located within the site’s eastern extent. The site is currently improved with an existing primary and secondary dwelling, associated sheds and formed driveways. Plate 1 depicts existing site conditions.

1.4 Topography The site exhibits a predominantly easterly aspect and descends from a ridgeline in the west. The site reaches a topographic high of approximately 65m ASL in the west and a topographic low of approximately 25m ASL in the east. The site exhibits moderate slopes of approximately 11 degrees in the west of the site, with gentle slopes of less than 5 degrees located in the eastern site extent. Several ephemeral drainage lines flow from the western ridgeline and discharge into a permanent watercourse which flows through the eastern site extent. Plate 2 depicts topographic conditions within and adjacent to the site.

2 SURVEY METHODOLOGY

2.1 Desktop Assessment The desktop assessment comprised an investigation of the previously mapped and recorded vegetation communities and species, as well as vegetation communities and species which have the potential to be present. The following resources were accessed during the desktop assessment: · The Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 Zone and Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay mapping; · The Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy’s (DNRME) Vegetation Management Supporting Map; · Koala Assessable Development Areas mapping; · The Department of Environment and Science’s (DES) Wildlife Online database; · The DES Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Area mapping; · Thee Queensland Waterways for Waterway barrier Works mapping; and · The Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Protected Matters Search Tool.

2.2 Field Survey A field survey was undertaken on 12 March 2020 to verify the composition and extent of native plant species, vegetation communities and fauna habitat within the site. The field survey was undertaken in general accordance with the timed meander methodology outlined in the Department of Environment and Science’s Flora Survey Guidelines – Protected Plants (2019). The field survey methodology comprised a walking meander through the various vegetation communities within the site whilst observations were made of the in-situ vegetation species and habitat elements including adjoining vegetation communities and specific habitat features such as nests and tree hollows. The survey included a targeted search for the presence of any flora species listed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act) and/or the EPBC Act.

3.8 EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool The EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool was queried in March 2020 using a 2km search radius. The EPBC Protected Matters Search uses bio-climatic modelling to predict where protected matters may be present in an area and therefore does not necessarily indicate the actual recorded presence of protected matters. The EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Result identified that the following Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) have the potential to be present within a 2km radius of the site (refer to Appendix 2): · The ‘endangered’ Coastal Swamp Oak (Casuarina glauca) Forest of New South Wales and South East Queensland Threatened Ecological Community; · The ‘Critically Endangered’ Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia Threatened Ecological Community; · 18 threatened flora species; · 26 threatened terrestrial fauna species; and · Marine, terrestrial and wetland migratory bird species.

3.9 Surrounding Habitat and Connectivity Aerial imagery was reviewed to assess the extent of vegetation/habitat surrounding the site which has the potential to facilitate dispersal opportunities for flora and terrestrial fauna species (refer to Plate 9). The site is located within a rural landscape which is characterised by a mosaic of bushland and cleared agricultural land. Extensive areas of native vegetation are located across a ridgeline to the north of the site. Vegetation is scattered through the landscape to the east, west and south and is primarily restricted to narrow riparian vegetation flanking watercourses. Dispersal opportunities for terrestrial fauna are primarily located to the north and via the watercourse vegetation within the site’s eastern extent.

4.3.1 Vegetation Community 1 – Tall Open Eucalypt Forest with Rainforest Understorey Vegetation Community 1 (VC1) exhibits an average canopy height of approximately 30m with projective foliage canopy cover (PFCC) of 30-40%. The canopy is dominated by Eucalyptus grandis (flooded gum) and occasional Eucalyptus microcorys (tallow wood) with Lophostemon confertus (brush box) also present. The mid-storey generally contains a dense association of rainforest species such as Glochidion sumatranum (umbrella cheese tree), Synoum glandulosum (scentless rosewood), Neolitsea dealbata (bolly gum), Ficus coronata (creek sandpaper fig) and Cryptocarya spp. Waterhousea floribunda (weeping lily pily) and Archontophoenix cunninghamiana (picabeen palm) dominate the riparian areas. The understorey is generally sparse due to the low light conditions however where present is colonised by a mosaic of native ferns and sedge species. VC1 is considered representative of an Ecologically Important Area under the SCC Planning Scheme. Plate 10 depicts typical vegetation within VC1.

Plate 10 – VC1 – Tall open Eucalypt forest with rainforest understorey

4.3.2 Vegetation Community 2 – Open Eucalypt forest with grassy to shrubby understorey Vegetation Community 2 (VC2) exhibits an average canopy height of approximately 28-30m with projective foliage canopy cover (PFCC) of 30-40%. The canopy is dominated by Eucalyptus microcorys (tallow wood), Eucalyptus pilularis (black butt) and Corymbia intermedia (pink bloodwood) with Lophostemon confertus (brush box) also present. The mid-storey generally contains a mid-dense association of species such as Allocasuarina littoralis (black she-oak), Acacia disparrima (hickory wattle) and the exotic species Pinus elliottii (slash pine). The understorey is dominated by Calochlaena dubia (soft bracken fern) with native grasses and forbs also present. VC2 is considered representative of an Ecologically Important Area under the SCC Planning Scheme. Plate 11 depicts typical vegetation within VC2.

4.4 Fauna

4.4.1 Fauna Habitat Values A specific fauna survey of the site was not undertaken as part of the scope of works and would be required to confirm the specific fauna species utilising the site’s habitat. Nonetheless, inferences about the composition of the local fauna assemblage can be drawn from local knowledge, site conditions and database search results. Vegetated areas of the site contain a variety of fauna habitat types including open Eucalypt forest with rainforest species in the understorey, waterways and dams and open grassy areas, all of which exhibit potential to provide suitable habitat for numerous fauna species and exhibit direct connectivity with offsite vegetation areas. These areas have the potential to offer fauna species the following habitat opportunities: · Open canopy and mid-canopy nesting sites and perches which may be used by birds and arboreal mammals; · A mix of vegetation communities which provides a wide range of foraging and breeding opportunities; · Flower pollen from the mix of canopy and mid-strata species may provide a food source for nectivorous species including possums, gliders, flying foxes and birds; · Koala food trees that may provide a food, breeding and resting resource for koalas; · Sun exposed areas below canopy gaps and on forest fringes may be suitable habitat for exothermic reptiles such as snakes, skinks, small lizards and possibly larger reptiles such as lace monitors; · Areas of light to heavy leaf litter have the potential to host small reptiles, amphibious species and may provide breeding opportunities for brush turkeys. · Waterways and dams which provide suitable habitat for aquatic and amphibian species; and · Grass and sedge groundcovers (native and exotic) have the potential to provide shelter and movement pathways for small terrestrial mammals as well as foraging and resting areas for larger macropods. No conservation significant fauna species were incidentally observed during the site investigation. The site does not support estuarine areas hence is unlikely to host suitable habitat for wetland migratory bird species.

4.4.2 Habitat for Previously Recorded Conservation Significant Fauna Table 1 identifies the conservation significant fauna species which have been previously recorded within a 2km radius of the site on Wildlife Online for which the site offers suitable habitat.

5 DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS AND MITIGATION

5.1 Flora and Vegetation Communities

5.1.1 Impacts Potential clearing opportunities associated with the development include the introduction of 10m exempt clearing either side of the new allotment boundary (which could be cleared to allow for construction of a fire management line) and clearing for bushfire setbacks for the Lot 2 building envelope (BLE). A building could be positioned anywhere within the nominated building envelope hence the impact of bushfire setbacks must be assessed from the limits of the building envelope. Note that the Planning Regulation 2017 was amended in December 2019 to make certain vegetation clearing for fire management activities in Queensland accepted development. Section 20A in Schedule 6, Part 3 and Section 13 in Schedule 7 of the Regulation provides an exemption for necessary clearing for: 1. Establishing or maintaining a necessary firebreak to protect infrastructure (other than a fence, road or vehicular track) – maximum firebreak width is the wider of 1.5 times the height of the tallest vegetation next to the infrastructure, or 20m; 2. Establishing a necessary fire management line with a maximum clearing width of 10m. Note the available clearing exemption widths would override the bushfire setback recommendations stipulated in the NCES Bushfire Report for the application in the absence of a legally binding clearing control mechanism such as a covenant. 5.1.1.1 New allotment boundaries Proposed new allotment boundaries intersect SCC mapped Native Vegetation Areas hence the approval of the application would facilitate an opportunity for new exempt clearing to be carried out for boundary clearing and fencing purposes. The proposed new internal boundary has been aligned adjacent to the existing access driveway as far as practicable to minimise the extent of potential new exempt clearing opportunities within the site. No new exempt clearing opportunities would be associated with the proposed new boundary which is contained entirely within the extent of existing available clearing opportunities. 5.1.1.2 Future dwellings An existing approved primary dwelling is present within proposed Lot 1 and a secondary dwelling is present within proposed Lot 2. If the application were to be approved, a new primary dwelling could be constructed within the nominated BLE within Lot 2. The applicant has nominated a building envelope of approximately 4,700m2 on Lot 2 within a predominantly cleared area (and which incorporates the existing secondary dwelling and shed). Post approval enactment of exempt clearing rights under the Planning Regulation could result in the clearance of 45m width of vegetation from around the future Lot 2 primary dwelling (approximately 6,339m2. Approval of the proposed BLE would result in significant clearing impacts to the riparian vegetation to the north and south of the BLE (including mapped Native Vegetation Area within 10m of the two mapped Stream Order 1 waterways). This vegetation is considered an Ecologically Important Area as per definition prescribed in the Planning Scheme. Irrespective of allowable future exemptions which can be extinguished via registration of conservation covenants, the proposed BLE would require approximately 0.16ha of native vegetation to be cleared to accommodate the 13-20m asset protection zone for the Lot 2 BLE as per the Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan (NCES, 2020). This clearing would similarly impact the Ecologically Important Area riparian vegetation located to the immediate north and south of the BLE. No new clearing rights would be facilitated for the existing dwelling within proposed Lot 1. Figure 2 has been prepared which spatially depicts the assessable vegetation clearing associated with the proposal. The calculations have been undertaken utilizing the field validated vegetation mapping as depicted in Figure 1 and have excluded existing exempt clearing rights that the landholder could execute for bushfire protection under the Planning Regulation 2017.

Ecological Assessment Report v1 NCES REF: J000558 Lot 2 on RP175548 – 112 Eudlo Road, Mooloolah Valley

5.1.2 Mitigation Measures and Recommendations To reduce impacts to the identified biodiversity resources, it is recommended that the size of the Lot 2 BLE be reduced and reshaped to minimise clearing impacts to the adjacent native vegetation, and in particular to prevent clearing impacts within 10m of the top of bank of the northerly and southerly adjacent waterways. This will likely require accurate survey of the watercourses to determine the location of their respective high banks fronting the BLE. The reduction in the size of the BLE will substantially decrease the area of native vegetation required to be cleared for the bushfire setback as well as that which could be cleared under post approval exempt clearing rights. Any remaining unavoidable clearing impacts to native vegetation can be proposed to be mitigated by satisfying the biodiversity offset provisions of the SCC Biodiversity Waterways and Wetland Overlay Code. There are numerous locations to provide direct delivery of on-ground offsets within the site. Alternatively, a financial delivery method may be the preferred outcome and is to be calculated in accordance with the QLD Environmental Offsets Calculator. To ensure no future clearing impacts beyond that intended with the application it is further recommended that the retained bushland areas be secured via registration of legally binding conservation covenants (including the mapped Stream Order 3-4 Waterway and Waterway Buffer area in the east). The covenant conditions would restrict future clearing opportunities, including exempt boundary clearing opportunities and additional clearing for bushfire mitigation beyond that which is recommended in the Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan (NCES, 2020). To mitigate the risk of introduced edge effects and to embellish the values of the Native Vegetation Areas to be retained within the site, it is recommended a Bushland Rehabilitation Plan be prepared and enacted for the vegetation to be registered under covenant. 5.2 Fauna

5.2.1 Impacts The impacts to fauna species anticipated as a result of the development primarily relate to the loss of edge based native vegetation. The impacts to fauna species anticipated as a result of the project primarily relate to the following: · Removal of habitat to accommodate residential infrastructure; · Potential habitat fragmentation due to clearing exemptions facilitated by approval of new allotment boundaries that intersect vegetation communities and buildings located within 1.5 x the tree height of adjacent vegetated areas; · Habitat degradation due to increased weed intrusion as a result of introduced edge effects; · Injury or death during vegetation clearing; and · Site intensification for residential purposes which has the potential to increase long term impacts to fauna associated with: o Reduced nocturnal habitat/foraging suitability via introduction of artificial lighting of external buildings environs; and o Increased predation rates via introduction of domestic pets to the site.

5.2.2 Mitigation Measures The impact of the proposed clearing to fauna is proposed to be mitigated/minimised by: · Reducing the size of the proposed Lot 2 BLE to limit vegetation removal in the vicinity of the mapped waterway: · Engagement of a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher during vegetation clearing to manage fauna; · Locating the majority of the proposed development in existing cleared areas and areas of modified vegetation anticipated to host limited fauna utilisation/occupancy; and

· Securing the majority of the habitat identified as containing high ecological value within conservation covenants and enacting an ecological rehabilitation program therein to enhance habitat quality and complexity.

This will likely require accurate survey of the watercourses to determine the location of their respective high banks fronting the BLE. Conservation covenants should also be registered over all retained bushland areas to restrict future exempt clearing opportunities impacting the Ecologically Important Areas.

Koala Conservation PO5 Development in koala habitat areas protects and AO5 Development avoids clearing non-juvenile koala habitat trees. Koala movement opportunities will be retained within the mapped Core Koala habitat within the east provides for a net gain in mature and actively of the site. The Lot 2 BLE is positioned within 45m of the mapped Core Koala habitat to the east regenerating koala habitat. hence clearing of the edge component of the mapped Core Koala habitat could occur under Planning Regulation exempt clearing provisions subject to the position of the future primary dwelling in the Lot 2 BLE. A westward retraction of the BLE by approximately 17m is therefore required or alternatively the mapped Core Koala habitat can be protected by conservation covenant to restrict exempt clearing impacts. In addition, it is recommended that any on-ground biodiversity offset be provided in existing cleared areas adjacent to the mapped core koala habitat to offer additional koala movement opportunities through the site.

6.2 State Government

6.2.1 DNRME Remnant Regional Ecosystems DNRME’s Vegetation Management Supporting Map identifies the presence of remnant vegetation within the site. Schedule 10, Part 3, Division 4, Table 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017 requires any reconfiguration of a lot application that is assessable development under Section 21, which includes an allotment which is 5ha or larger, to be referred to SARA for assessment. Note that although the mapped remnant vegetation was observed to be inconsistent with the description for RE 12.3.11, it is consistent with RE 12.3.2 – Tall open Eucalypt forest (wet sclerophyll) which is also an of concern regional ecosystem. The site measures more than 5ha hence referral of the application for assessment against the State Development Assessment Provisions State Code 16 is required. The State Code 16 assessment framework gives consideration to future exempt clearing that may occur as a result of the development. Consequently, the current plan of development would be assessed as resulting in clearing of an of concern regional ecosystem inclusive of a watercourse and essential habitat for the koala. It is noted the clearing impact may not be compliant with State Code 16. To avoid assessable clearing impacts, it is recommended the eastern limit of the Lot 2 BLE be relocated approximately 17m to the west, thereby removing any assessable vegetation clearing opportunities associated with the development under State Code 16.

6.2.2 Conservation and Other Legislation (Koala Protection) The site is located within the Koala Priority Area and no direct clearing of the mapped koala habitat area in the east of the site is proposed. The Lot 2 BLE is however positioned within 45m of the mapped Core Koala habitat hence clearing of the edge component of the mapped Core Koala habitat could occur under Planning Regulation exempt clearing provisions subject to the position of the future primary dwelling in the Lot 2 BLE. A westward retraction of the BLE by approximately 17m is therefore required or alternatively the mapped Core Koala habitat can be protected by conservation covenant to restrict exempt clearing impacts. Note, the removal of koala habitat areas in mapped Koala Priority Areas is prohibited development under Schedule 10 Part 10 Division 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017. Where a development proposal within a Koala Priority Area does not require the removal of koala habitat, assessment under Schedule 11, Part 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017 is required. We have assumed exempt clearing rights will be restricted from the mapped koala core habitat and accordingly have undertaken a preliminary assessment against Schedule 11, Part 2 in Table 3.

6.2.3 Nature Conservation Act 1992 6.2.3.1 Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map The Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map identifies that the regulated vegetation within the east of the site is mapped as a ‘High-risk area’ prescribed under the Nature Conservation (Wildlife Management) Regulation 2006. The flora survey carried out on 12 March 2020 was undertaken in accordance with the flora survey guidelines and no conservation significant flora species were identified during the site survey. No vegetation clearing is proposed within the mapped high-risk area therefore, an exempt clearing notification and/or clearing permit is not required under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. 6.2.3.2 Fauna A fauna spotter/catcher will be present during any future clearing activities. Where active breeding habitat for least concern native fauna is observed, the applicant will be required to comply with DES’s Species Management Program – low risk of impacts. Where active breeding habitat for Conservation Significant fauna is observed, the applicant will be required to prepare and submit a DES compliant Species Management Program – High risk of impacts.

6.3 Queensland Waterways for Waterway Barrier Works GIS Layer All works within the bed and banks of the mapped ‘green’, ‘amber’ and ‘red’ waterways are considered assessable development, unless the works can comply with the accepted development

No works are proposed within the mapped green waterway in the east of the site therefore no assessment under the Fisheries Act 1994 is required.

6.4 Commonwealth Government No Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) were identified during the field investigation undertaken within the site. Whilst a fauna survey has not been completed the results of the habitat assessment infers that the threatened fauna species identified in the Protected Matters Search Report have a low potential to occur within the site due to the limited amount of suitable habitat and/or a lack of existing records in the locality. It is noted that 11 records for koalas within 2km of the site were returned from the wildlife online search, however if the recommendations of this report are enacted the proposal is unlikely to impact koalas Furthermore, the extent of clearing is unlikely to result in a significant impact to any other populations of the listed EPBC fauna species hence a referral to the Commonwealth government under the EPBC Act is deemed unnecessary at this time.

7 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 Conclusion A desktop and field investigation have been undertaken to determine the environmental values present within Lot 2 on RP175548, located at 112 Eudlo Road, Mooloolah Valley. The outcomes of the desktop and field investigations identified the following: · The site supports local and State level biodiversity values. · The assessment area is mapped within the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 as containing the following: o Native Vegetation Areas; o Stream Order 1 – 2 Waterway; o Stream Order 3 – 4 Waterway; o Riparian Protection Area; and o Wetlands. · Category B regulated vegetation is mapped within the site. The regulated vegetation is mapped as host to the following Regional Ecosystems (RE): o ‘Of concern’ RE 12.3.11 which is described as Eucalyptus tereticornis +/- Eucalyptus siderophloia, Corymbia intermedia open forest on alluvial plains near coast; and o ‘Endangered’ RE 12.3.1 which is described as Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains. · Two vegetation communities were observed within the site: o Vegetation Community 1 (VC 1) – Tall open Eucalypt forest with rainforest understorey; and o Vegetation Community 2 (VC 2) – Open Eucalypt forest with grassy to shrubby understorey. · If approved, the existing plan would allow approximately 6,339m2 of mapped Native Vegetation Area containing VC 1 which could be cleared under future exempt clearing rights that would be created by approval of the application. Much of the vegetation exposed to possible clearing is located within 10m of a mapped Stream Order 1-2 waterway and is considered to be an Ecologically Important Area. The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be compliant as follows: · Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014, Code 8.2.3 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands – The current Lot 2 BLE is unlikely to be approved due to assessable clearing of mapped Native Vegetation Area within 10m of a mapped Stream Order 1-2 Waterway. It is recommended that the Lot 2 Building envelope be reduced in size to remove all vegetation clearing from within 10m of the mapped Stream Order 1-2 Waterway. · Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Further compliance required: o A fauna spotter/catcher is required to be present during vegetation clearing. · Vegetation Management Act 1999 and the associated State Code 16: Native Vegetation Clearing – Referrable. Current Lot 2 BLE is unlikely to be approved due to assessable clearing of mapped ‘of concern’ vegetation which contains a watercourse and essential habitat for the koala. The eastern limit of the Lot 2 BLE can be relocated approximately 17m to the west to avoid assessable clearing. · Schedule 11 of the Planning Regulation 2017 (Development on premises in koala priority areas not interfering with koala habitat) – It is recommended that the proposed Lot 2 BLE is reduced to avoid the extent of mapped core koala habitat by a distance of 45m thereby

removing the koala habitat area from future exempt clearing opportunities associated with bushfire protection. · Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 – Generally compliant. No threatened flora species or threatened ecologically communities present. The limited amount of clearing proposed is considered unlikely to trigger a significant impact to any potential matters of national environmental significance if present within the site.

7.2 Recommendations The following recommendations are set to reduce the environmental impact of the proposal: · The Lot 2 BLE be reduced and reshaped, whilst accommodating the recommended bushfire setbacks, to minimise clearing impacts to the adjacent native vegetation, and in particular to prevent clearing impacts within 10m of the top of bank of the northerly and southerly adjacent waterways. This will likely require accurate survey of the watercourses to determine the location of their respective high banks fronting the BLE. · The Lot 2 BLE be offset 45m from the easterly adjacent regulated vegetation, thereby avoiding assessable clearing impacts under State Code 16 as well as possible offsetting obligations for impacts to regulated vegetation including a watercourse and essential habitat for the koala; · The Lot 2 BLE be offset 45m from the easterly adjacent mapped Core Koala habitat area situated within a Priority Koala Area to generate default compliance with Schedule 11, Part 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017; · Conservation Covenants are registered over all areas of retained bushland; · A Bushland Rehabilitation Plan is prepared by a suitably experienced ecologist to direct the restoration of the retained bushland, including any required biodiversity offset; · A suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher is present during vegetation clearing; · A Vegetation Clearing and Fauna Management Plan is prepared by a suitable qualified and experienced ecologist to direct the clearing of vegetation from the site and the protection of fauna during site clearing; and · Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures are enacted prior to site clearing and for the life of the development to prevent sedimentation of the local waterways.

Updated mapping The essential habitat mapping was updated on 7 February 2020 and has been revised in line with new koala habitat mapping for South East Queensland as well as minor scientific updates for other protected species throughout Queensland. 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, protected plants, and koala habitat. • 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.

Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 4 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, 2020 Page 5 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

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

Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 9 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.

If there is no essential habitat mapping shown on the vegetation management supporting map for this lot, and there is no table in the sections below, it confirms that there is no essential habitat on the lot.

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 Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 11 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.

Further information on protected plants is available at http://www.ehp.qld.gov.au/licences-permits/plants-animals/protected-plants/

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is listed in Queensland as vulnerable by the Queensland Government under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and by the Australian Government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

The Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 allows koala habitat areas and koala priority areas to be determined and requires that these are shown on the Koala Conservation Plan Map. Koala habitat areas are areas that contain koala habitat which is essential for the conservation of a viable koala population in the wild. Please note that these areas only apply to lots in the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ" Regional Plan area. These areas include the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Lockyer Valley, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent).

Koala habitat areas include koala habitat areas (core) and koala habitat areas (locally refined). Following input from each local government, koala habitat areas (locally refined) were developed. Koala habitat areas (locally refined) will be afforded the same protection during a two year transitional period as if they were koala habitat areas (core) identified by the State.

Koala priority areas are areas where long-term management (e.g. habitat protection, habitat restoration and threat mitigation) and monitoring will be strategically focused as the areas have the highest likelihood of achieving conservation outcomes for koalas.

Clearing koala habitat areas in a koala priority area is prohibited, except for in certain circumstances (see Schedule 10, 16A of the Planning Regulation 2017). Clearing cannot occur (other than for exempt activities) and a development application cannot be lodged for prohibited activities.

Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 12 Development located inside a koala priority area on lots that contain koala habitat area, but do not involve clearing of koala habitat, will be assessed by local government, except for in certain circumstances (see Schedule 11, Parts 1 and 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017). This is to manage and minimise impacts on koala habitat, such as edge effects.

Outside of koala priority areas, clearing of koala habitat areas must be avoided, mitigated or offset. Development that is proposing to clear koala habitat area will be assessed by the Queensland Government, except for in certain circumstances (see Schedule 10, 16B of the Planning Regulation 2017).

For more information on development requirements see https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.

Landholders (or a person acting on landholder's behalf) can request to have a koala habitat area determination for an area made, amended or revoked if they believe there is an error. For more information, see https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.

The koala conservation plan maps will be updated at least annually to include any koala habitat areas that have been made, amended or revoked.

In order to ensure that the most recent map for an area of interest can be accessed, prior to the annual update, a register of changes made to koala habitat areas as a result of the map amendment process will be available at: https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/. The register will include lot on plan for the change, the date the decision was made and the map issued to the landholder which shows areas determined to be koala habitat areas.

For further information on the regulatory framework for koala conservation, including koala priority areas and koala habitat areas, please see the Queensland Government website at https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy or contact Koala Assessment and Compliance, Department Environment and Science, at [email protected]. 3.8 Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF)

The ERF is an Australian Government scheme which offers incentives for businesses and communities across the economy to reduce emissions.

Under the ERF, landholders can earn money from activities such as planting (and keeping) trees, managing regrowth vegetation and adopting more sustainable agricultural practices.

The purpose of a project is to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Each project will provide new economic opportunities for farmers, forest growers and land managers.

Further information on ERF is available at https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/state/use/carbon-rights/.

Regulated vegetation management map The regulated vegetation management map shows vegetation categories needed to determine clearing requirements. These maps are updated monthly to show new property maps of assessable vegetation (PMAV).

Vegetation management supporting map The vegetation management supporting map provides information on regional ecosystems, wetlands, watercourses and essential habitat.

Pre-clear map The vegetation management pre-clear regional ecosystem mapping shows the regional ecosystem, location and extent which is likely to have occurred at that location prior to clearing. This map can be used for identifying exchange areas under the "Managing regulated regrowth vegetation" accepted development vegetation clearing code. It may also be used for for identifying offsets under the vegetation management framework.

Coastal/non coastal map The coastal/non-coastal map confirms whether the lot, or which parts of the lot, are considered coastal or non-coastal for the purposes of the accepted development vegetation clearing codes and the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).

Agricultural Land Class A or B The Agricultural Land Class map confirms the location and extent of land mapped as Agricultural Land Classes A or B as identified on the State Planning Interactive Mapping System. Please note that this map does not include areas identified as Agricultural Land Class A or B in local government planning schemes. This map can be used to identify Agricultural Land Class A or B areas under the "Managing regulated regrowth vegetation" accepted development vegetation clearing code.

Protected plants map The protected plants map shows areas where particular provisions of the Nature Conservation Act 1992 apply to the clearing of protected plants.

Koala priority area and koala habitat area map The koala map shows area of koala priority area and koala habitat under the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017. Clearing of habitat in these areas is regulated under the Planning Regulation 2017. Please note that these areas only apply to lots in the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ" Regional Plan area.

Vegetation management report, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 2020 Page 20 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.

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.
