Project Fauna and Flora Species Survey Results

Fauna species list of RCWP Survey area and surrounds compiled from data collected by CDM Smith in October and November 2016. Unless otherwise noted, this table follows the nomenclature provided by the following sources:

. The complete guide to reptiles of Australia 4th Ed. (Wilson and Swan 2013); . Tadpoles and frogs of Australia (Anstis 2013); . Field companion to the mammals of Australia (Van Dyck et al. 2013); and . Birdlife Australia’s International Ornithologist Committee Australian Checklist (BARC 2016).

Status abbreviations – EPBC: E = Endangered; V = Vulnerable; M = Migratory. NC: E = Endangered; V = Vulnerable; NT = Near Threatened; S = of Special Least Concern; C = Least Concern; I = Introduced.

Analysing impact on Connectivity Areas

SIGNIFICANCE TEST ONE

The regional total area is 311483.12 The regional extent of core remnant is 57563.34 The regional extent of core remnant is 18.48 percent This level of regional fragmentation sets a local impact threshold of: 5.0 percent

The table below lists the local impact thresholds for categories of regional core remnant extent:

REGIONAL CORE CATEGORY LOCAL IMPACT THRESHOLD < 10 2.0 10 - 30 5.0 30 - 50 10.0 50 - 70 20.0 70 - 90 30.0 >90 50.0

Area of core at the local scale (pre impact): 7199.21 Area of core at the local scale (post impact): 7165.33 Percent change of core at the local scale (post impact): 0.47

SIGNIFICANCE TEST TWO

The number of core remnant areas occurring on the site: 6 The number of core remnant areas remaining on the site post impact: 6 (Only core polygons greater than or equal to 1 hectare are included)

RESULT

16:43:38 This analysis has determined any impact on connectivity areas is NOT significant (A significant reduction in core remnant at the local scale is False OR a change from core to non-core remnant at the site scale is False)

The significance table has been written to: ..\main_output\lfc_significance_assessment.csv The local scale summary table has been written to: ..\main_output\lfc_local_scale_summary.csv The site scale summary table has been written to: ..\main_output\lfc_site_scale_summary.csv GIS layer files copied into folder \lyr_file within the project folder.
