1. Introduction

This report has been completed by Boobook Ecological Consultants approved by the Commonwealth Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPaC) in writing on the 28th of June 2011.

The field surveys were conducted by a team of ecologists lead by Craig Eddie, approved by DSEWPaC in writing on the 31st of March 2011, Principal Ecologist for Boobook Ecological Consultants.

2. Site Context

Condabri North comprises 11RP213931, 61BWR143, 62BWR741 and 63BWR138 and is a 1064ha aggregation of properties that is located approximately 3 km east of Miles in southern inland Queensland. Condabri North is situated within Provinces 27 (Barakula) of the Brigalow Belt Bioregion. The property is accessed via the Warrego Highway which borders its northern side, and Old Cameby Road which borders its southern side. Condabri North lies within PL267. Previous land use on the property has been agricultural, primarily grazing of domestic livestock. The majority of native vegetation on the property has been cleared, however, large remnants and advanced regrowth patches are present on the ridges associated with 63BWR138. Narrow riparian strips have been retained on some watercourses and young regrowth of Acacia spp. is extensive. Most of Condabri North consists of flat to gently undulating plains derived from weathered sandstone. The eastern extremity is located on plateaus and low sandstone hills to undulating plains. Three broad soil types can be found on the properties. The central region contains bleached sands over mottled, yellowish brown or brown and red clays. These are texture contrast soils (chromosols/ sodosols and kurosols), with a shallow, mainly sandy surface (acidic or alkaline). The soils on the ridges in the east are very shallow, gravely, red soils and shallow, gravely, texture contrast soils. These include skeletal soils (mainly rudosols) which are shallow stony loams derived from sediments. The south western corner of the property aggregation contains gently undulating to flat plains, with bleached sandy soils over mottled yellow or grey clays. Mapped soil types in this area include skeletal soils (mainly rudosols), alluvial- deep sands/texture contrast soils (chromosols, sodosols and kurosols) and moderately deep to deep sands/loams. Several unnamed watercourses are present on the flat to gently undulating plains, and on the west facing slope of the ridge on 63BWR138. The closest weather station to the site is Roma, with a climate consisting of yearly average temperatures ranging from a maximum of 34.1 in January to a minimum of 3.9 in July. The annual rainfall of Roma for 2010 was 582.5mm, with the highest rainfall occurring in February (90.3mm) and the lowest occurring in July (24.2mm). A preliminary broad-scale assessment of the property was presented in the report “Assessment of Existing Terrestrial Ecological Values: Gas Processing Facility Sites” (BAAM, 2009).

3. Methodology

3.1 Desktop and Literature Review

Sources used to obtain information for the desktop and literature review are as follows: . Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA) Protected Species Lists . Environmental Protection Biodiversity and Conservation 1999 (EPBC) Protected Matters Search Tool . Geosciences Australia Waterways mapping . Department of Environment and Resource Management Regional Ecosystem version 6.0b digital GIS layer . Department of Environment and Resource Management Wildnet database . Department of Environment and Resource Management Referrable Wetlands database . Queensland Herbarium HERBRECS database . Queensland Museum database . Hando and Hando (1997). Data searches were conducted using a 2km buffer for the EPBC Protected Matters Search Tool and 2.5km buffer for the NCA (Wildnet) search around the approximate centre point of the property.

3.2 Field Survey

Scouting surveys were conducted in general accordance with BioCondition – A Condition Assessment Framework for Terrestrial Biodiversity in Queensland – Assessment Manual – Version 2.1 (BioCondition Manual) (Eyre et al, 2011) and the Methodology for Survey and Mapping of Regional Ecosystems and Vegetation Communities in Queensland (Neldner et al, 2005).

3.2.1 Vegetation Community Survey

General baseline botanical surveys were undertaken to describe dominant flora and vegetation community structure throughout the survey site. Botanical surveys were consistent with the quaternary level of data collection as described in Methodology for Survey and Mapping of Regional Ecosystems and Vegetation Communities in Queensland (Neldner et al, 2005).

Vegetation community polygons were confirmed, mapped and identified in accordance with Queensland Regional Ecosystem (Biodiversity Status) and EPBC Threatened Ecological Community criteria. Areas of remnant vegetation were clearly distinguished from areas of regrowth vegetation that does not satisfy remnant regional ecosystem or EPBC Threatened Ecological Community criteria.

3.2.2 Habitat Survey

Habitat surveys were conducted within each Vegetation Community Survey location within the aforementioned Vegetation Community Area. A range of habitat features, such as log abundance, hollow tree size class and abundance were noted.

3.2.3 Threatened Flora and Fauna Survey

‘Threatened’ species are those listed under the Environment Protection Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation 2006.

Targeted Flora and fauna searches were undertaken within the vicinity of a Vegetation Community Survey/Habitat Feature plot where the field ecologists deem the given area to be of sufficient potential value to a Threatened species to warrant such a search.

Targeted Threatened species surveys may have been conducted in additional locations based on incidental field observations of high quality habitat or identification of distinct ecological features through preliminary review of mapping and other background information for the property aggregation.

3.2.4 Exotic Flora and Fauna Survey

Environmental and declared pest (as defined by the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002) populations were noted and abundance recorded at the time of the survey.

3.2.5 Disturbance Survey

Evidence of disturbance at each Vegetation Community/Habitat Feature plot was recorded for type, severity and estimated time of most recent occurrence. The recording of disturbance was also conducted at opportunistic sites where appropriate.

A pea, Zornia sp., was collected from Boobook field site CNI221. This specimen was submitted to the Queensland Herbarium but was unable to be identified to species level, hence, it cannot be confirmed whether or not this specimen represents the near threatened Z. pallida. The number of individuals at the collection site, which is a clearing dominated by Melinis repens pasture, is less than 10. According to the Queensland Herbarium, the genus Zornia is currently undergoing revision and positive identification of this specimen cannot be made until this revision is completed. Targeted searches were undertaken for other NCA scheduled threatened flora, including Blake’s Spike-rush Eleocharis blakeana and Red-soil Woolly Wrinklewort Rutidosis lanata, however, none were detected. 4.2.2.2 Listed Fauna

No fauna scheduled as endangered, vulnerable, rare or near threatened under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 was identified during the field survey at Condabri North. However, potentially suitable habitat was recorded for 14 species that are listed in Table 16 below.

63BWR138. This species is pending listing as Endangered under the EPBC Act 1999. Further survey should be undertaken for this species when disturbance is planned in this area.

Flora of significance recorded during the field survey included two species of Type A Restricted Plant, these being Kurrajong Brachychiton populneus at Boobook sites CNQ47, CNQ50, CNI211, CNI214 and CNI219 and Forest Grass Tree Xanthorrhoea johnsonii at Boobook field site CNI188.

Several flora were recorded that are represented by relatively few collections in the Darling Downs pastoral district (Herbrecs data). The record of Goodenia disperma represents only the third collection for this pastoral district, and the record of Cucumis melo subsp. agrestis is the first collection of this subspecies for the pastoral district. Several other species are represented by relatively few collection records for the Miles area including Lobelia andrewsii, Glossostigma diandrum, Homoranthus melanostictus and Polygala linariifolia. All of the aforementioned species are well known and documented for the broader region (e.g. Hando and Hando 1997) and the paucity of database records for these species in the Miles area is likely to represent a lack of collection effort rather than genuine rarity.

4.2.2.4 Endangered Regional Ecosystems

No endangered regional ecosystems were identified during the field survey. A mapped polygon containing a mix of regional ecosystems (including the endangered RE 11.9.5 as a subdominant component) on 62BWR741 was consisted entirely of RE 11.5.1 (refer to Boobook field sites CNQ47, CNI181 and CNI182).

4.2.2.7 Regrowth

Low shrubby regrowth of Acacia spp. (e.g. A. ixiophylla, A. spectabilis and A. leiocalyx) is extensive on the cleared parts of 11RP213931, 61BWR143 and 62BWR741, and smaller areas of 63BWR138. These areas have been stick-raked after previous clearing events, hence, cover for terrestrial fauna (e.g. logs) has been reduced. Stick-raked piles of logs are still present in some parts of 62BWR741 and 63BWR138 which provide shelter sites for small fauna, particularly reptiles. Areas of Acacia regrowth provide useful cover for woodland birds (e.g. fairy-wrens, thornbills, pardalotes, grey fantail and grey-crowned babbler). Mature trees (mostly Eucalyptus elegans) have been left standing throughout most cleared areas. Few of these trees are old enough to contain hollows, however, they are useful for fauna as roosting, nesting and foraging sites. Few trees with significant hollows were recorded, however, several examples were noted between Boobook site CNI217 and CNI219.

Areas of more advanced regrowth of Acacia shirleyi, A. aprepta and Eucalyptus fibrosa occur on the elevated areas of 63BWR138. Such areas of regrowth are very dense and are from 4- 8m in height. These patches are functioning as woodland and are utilised by a wide range of birds (e.g. Eastern Yellow Robin, Grey Shrike-thrush, White-eared Honeyeater) that typically inhabit remnant habitats. Areas of regrowth on the ridges have also not previously been stick-raked, hence, a large amount of ground debris (e.g. logs, fallen bark, sticks and leaflitter) is present.

4.2.2.8 Sensitive Areas

The ridges on 63BWR138 contain the highest flora diversity on the property and are also likely to be provide the most significant habitat for some fauna groups e.g. woodland birds and reptiles. The vegetation on the ridges is connected to other large vegetation remnants (and advanced regrowth) on land parcels to the east and south, hence, has useful regional corridor values. The field survey demonstrated that the ridge contains small, but nonetheless locally significant areas including, but not limited to, the following:

 small rock pavement areas (e.g. Boobook site CNI288b);  rocky outcrops with cavities and ledges (e.g. Boobook sites CNI188, CNI189, CNI202, CNI203, CNI286);  areas of Acacia triptera shrubland (e.g. Boobook site CNI285);  areas containing populations of the vulnerable herb Gonocarpus urceolatus particularly on the western slopes of the ridge.

Values and condition of regrowth and watercourse vegetation are detailed in sections 4.2.2.7 and 4.2.3 respectively. In terms of overall biodiversity values, the most significant vegetated parts of the watercourses are as follows:

 A strip (up to c. 110m wide) of Eucalyptus elegans +/- E. chloroclada woodland in the northern section of 11RP213931 approximately between 222000E 7047683N and 222738E 7047620N (e.g. Boobook site CNI222, CNI225 and CNQ51);  A strip (up to c. 150m wide) of Eucalyptus elegans +/- E. chloroclada +/- E. populnea woodland in the southern section of 62BWR741 approximately between 223677E 704576N and 224278E 7046140N (e.g. Boobook site CNI181, CNI182 and CNQ47).

4.2.3 Wetland Ecosystems

Several minor watercourses (stream order 1 and 2) are present on the property. Woodland vegetation associated with these watercourses has been entirely cleared in some parts of the properties, and retained as a narrow fringe elsewhere. Most watercourses on the site have highly erodible soils, with many examples of bank slumping and undercutting observed (e.g. Boobook sites CNQ51, CNI211, CNI220 and CNI222) which has affected fringing vegetation in some places (e.g. fallen trees in watercourse channels). Flora associated with the canopy and shrub layers of vegetation fringing the watercourses is typical of that occurring on land zone 5 in the district. The ground layer vegetation, however, is generally in poor condition and is frequently dominated by exotic plants, especially red natal grass Melinis repens, African Lovegrass Eragrostis curvula, Buffel Grass Pennisetum ciliare, Green Panic Megathyrsus maximus and Mayne’s Pest Verbena aristigera.

No significant wetlands are associated with these watercourses. No large waterholes are present and but small ephemeral pools and puddles were observed. Some aquatic flora was noted in wet depressions within watercourses e.g. Monochoria cyanea and Glossostigma diandrum at Boobook site CNI217.

Several earth dams are present (e.g. Boobook site CNI181a and site CNI219) which provide additional but highly localised habitat for aquatic flora and fauna. No springs, swamps or gilgais were observed and no other wetland types were identified during the field survey. The property contains no referrable wetlands identified by DERM (Appendix C).

4.2.4 Disturbance

Existing disturbances on the property include substantial areas of cleared land. The entire property has been grazed and a very small part of 63BWR138 has been previously cultivated and cropped. Numerous internal vehicle tracks and fence lines are present throughout. Other infrastructure associated with grazing is present including a homestead, sheds, stock yards and dams.

 Infrastructure placement should especially avoid the vegetated parts (including remnant and advanced regrowth) of the ridges on 63BWR138. These ridges have identified significant microhabitat features, including (but not limited to) areas of rock pavement and rock cavities. They also contain populations of the vulnerable Raspwort Gonocarpus urceolatus and contain habitat likely to be utilised by several threatened fauna.  More detailed targeted surveys for threatened species should be undertaken for any infrastructure to be placed within remnant vegetation and advanced regrowth on the ridge on 63BWR138. Surveys should especially target the herb Gonocarpus urceolatus, Dulacca Woodland Snail Adclarkia dulacca and threatened species of reptile (e.g. Yakka Skink, Brigalow Scaly-foot and Dunmall’s Snake). Surveys for threatened reptiles should be in accordance with the “Survey Guidelines for Australia’s Threatened Reptiles” (DSEWPAC 2011).  Regrowth should be retained wherever possible especially to provide cover for fauna occurring within the cleared parts of the property, and to assist with providing watercourse buffers and vegetated linkages between remnants on the property.  Clearing of vegetation along watercourses should be avoided where possible, and existing crossings should be utilised for positioning of linear infrastructure. Where unavoidable, clearing or other disturbances should be limited to that which is in accordance with applicable regulatory approvals.  Any clearing of remnant vegetation or advanced regrowth should be undertaken in a manner to allow escape of mobile fauna.  A fauna spotter should be engaged prior to and during construction to identify potential habitat features of significance to fauna (e.g. large hollow logs and hollow trees) including within existing clearings  Where possible clearing of Type A Restricted Plants should be avoided.

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 Heritage and Register of National Estate properties, Wetlands of International 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. For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery plans and detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are indicated under 'type of presence'. For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are collated from government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimatic distribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps are based solely on expert knowledge. 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. Coordinates
