The EAR was requested to identify the environmental values of the site and to determine the suitability of a proposed Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 Lot into 4 Lots) development application for the site. The site is located in Mooloolah Valley and occupies the southern face and foothills of a steep ridgeline adjacent to Neill Road. The site is dominated by a mosaic of remnant and regrowth open Eucalypt forest on the mid to upper slopes and tall open eucalypt forest over vine forest understorey flanking the central watercourse at the toe of the slope. A largely cleared area is present over gentle grades within the centre of the site in which the proposed development is to be located. One unit of remnant vegetation containing ‘least concern’ Regional Ecosystem (RE) ‘12.9-10.14 Eucalyptus pilularis tall open forest on sedimentary rocks’ is mapped across the upper slopes of the site on the Department of Natural Resources and Mine’s (NRM’s) Regulated Vegetation Management Support Map. No clearing impact is proposed to remnant vegetation within the site. One flora species, Pararistolochia praevenosa (Richmond birdwing vine) which is listed as a ‘near threatened’ species under the QLD Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act) was located within wet sclerophyll/vine forest vegetation flanking the central watercourse. No impacts to this species at this locality are likely as no vegetation clearing is proposed within 100m of the identified individual plant. No other flora species listed under the NC Act or the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) were found on site. A habitat assessment of the site determined the on-site vegetation represents both edge and core components of the local east-west aligned bushland corridor. Retention of viable connectivity through the mid to upper slopes of the site is deemed critical to maintain viable corridor connectivity along the southern face of the ridge, to bushland areas to the east and west of the site. The site is likely to host a moderate assemblage of resident terrestrial fauna. The extent of intact remnant open eucalypt forest within and bordering the site infers potential for listed fauna species to be present in the locality. The assessed clearing footprint is expected to impact a total of 0.1 ha of individual Eucalypts over grassy understorey (grazed and routinely slashed) which is mapped as an ecologically important area under the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map. This equates to approximately 98% retention of the total area (5.2 ha approx.) of mapped ecologically important areas on the site. The proposed site layout has been designed to minimise impact to the in-situ vegetation communities. The extent of proposed clearing is aggregated within existing cleared and regrowth areas. The layout retains the important east - west bushland corridor across the slopes of the ridgeline and also proposes registration of a conservation covenant over all remnant vegetation within the site. Overall the application represents a low impact development. The application has been assessed against Local, State and Commonwealth environmental and conservation development assessment frameworks, and determined to be compliant as follows: · Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014, Code 8.2.3 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands – Compliant subject fulfilment of recommendations set herein; · SEQ Koala State Regulatory Planning Provisions – Compliant subject fulfilment of recommendations set herein; · Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Compliant; however no fauna survey conducted; · Module 8 QLD Sustainable Development Assessment Provisions & Vegetation Management Act 1999 – Compliant; and · Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 – Generally Compliant; however no fauna survey conducted. © 2015 2 Ecological Assessment Report v2 NCES REF: SAR2015-04 EAR Lot 9 SP197677– 204 Neill Road, Mooloolah Valley CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ................................................................................................................... 2 1.0 INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................................................ 4 2.0 DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL ..................................................................................................... 5 3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION .................................................................................................................... 6 3.1 Topography ........................................................................................................................................ 7 3.2 Vegetation .......................................................................................................................................... 9 3.3 Soils ................................................................................................................................................... 9 3.4 Access ............................................................................................................................................... 9 4.0 SURVEY METHODOLOGY ...................................................................................................... 10 5.0 SURVEY RESULTS ..................................................................................................................... 10 5.1 Flora Species ....................................................................................................................................10 5.2 Vegetation Communities ...................................................................................................................11 5.2.1 Vegetation Unit 1 – Open Eucalypt forest over grassy/shrubby understorey ........ 12 5.2.2 Vegetation Unit 2 – Tall Open Eucalypt Forest with Rainforest Understorey .......... 13 5.3 Weeds ..............................................................................................................................................14 5.4 Fauna Records..................................................................................................................................14 5.5 Habitat ..............................................................................................................................................14 5.6 Surrounding Habitat and Connectivity ................................................................................................15 6.0 DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS ....................................................................................................... 16 6.1 Vegetation .........................................................................................................................................16 6.1.1 On-site.......................................................................................................................... 16 6.1.2 Off-site.......................................................................................................................... 16 6.2 Fauna ...............................................................................................................................................17 7.0 LEGISLATION AND OVERLAYS ............................................................................................... 18 7.1 Local Government – Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 ............................................................18 7.1.1 Code 8.2.3 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands.................................................. 18 7.2 State Government .............................................................................................................................25 7.2.1 QLD NRM Remnant Regional Ecosystems ................................................................ 25 7.2.2 SDAP Module 8 Native Vegetation Clearing – Purpose and Assessment Framework ........................................................................................................................... 25 7.2.3 SEQ Koala State Planning Regulatory Provision May 2010 ...................................... 27 7.2.4 QLD Nature Conservation Act 1992 .......................................................................... 29 7.3 Commonwealth Government .............................................................................................................32 7.3.1 EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool ................................................................

    I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?

    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.

(Hons.) Griffith School of Environment Faculty of Science, Engineering, Environment and Technology Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June, 2007 Abstract Seed dispersal strongly influences patterns of plant regeneration. Frugivorous (fruit eating) vertebrates disperse the seeds of between 70% and 90% of rainforest plant species. Forest fragmentation may affect the abundance and distribution of frugivore species. Consequently, patterns of seed dispersal and plant regeneration may vary between extensive forest and fragmented forest landscapes. This thesis assessed frugivorous vertebrates and seed dispersal in a rainforest landscape in subtropical Australia. First, this study quantitatively compared the distribution and abundance of frugivorous bird and bat species between fragmented and extensive rainforest. Second, the roles of these frugivore species in seed dispersal were evaluated based on their functional attributes and the plant species that they had been recorded consuming. Third, secondary consequences of forest fragmentation for seed dispersal were predicted from these results. The field components of this study were conducted in the Sunshine Coast region of southern Queensland. Surveys of frugivorous bird and bat species were undertaken in a network of 48 study sites distributed throughout a 4 000 km2 area.
