KP184.6) Looping 7 1 REGIONAL BACKGROUND APA GasNet Australia (Operations) Pty Ltd (APA) is looping (duplicating) part of the existing Wollert to Wodonga gas transmission pipeline (pipeline licence PL101) between Glenrowan to Barnawartha, Victoria (known as Looping 7). The Wollert to Wodonga gas transmission pipeline was constructed in 1975 and runs in an approximately north easterly direction from Wollert on the northern outskirts of Melbourne through to Wodonga, a total distance of approximately 280km. This pipeline occupies an easement of 35m in width. The proposed pipeline looping is to be installed within the existing easement. With reference to the starting point of the existing pipeline at Glenrowan, this looping will commence at KP118.2 and finish at Barnawartha KP184.6, a total distance of 66.4km. Looping 7 passes through three municipalities (Benalla Rural City, Wangaratta Rural City and Indigo Shire) and is located within the vicinity of regional townships including Glenrowan, Wangaratta, Chiltern and Barnawartha. • Land traversed by the project is made up

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.
