The site has a total area of 54.11 hectares (ha) and will be herein referred to as the ‘Site’. This Ecological Assessment has been compiled as environmental supporting documentation for the Development Application over the Site. It is understood by S5 Environmental that the current proposal is for a Reconfiguration of a Lot (RoL) to accommodate a 324 lot subdivision with open space and parkland. The proposed subdivision lot boundaries are shown on the Place Design Group RoL Plan (Drawing number 1115014_07 Rev C dated 3rd of August, 2015) attached in the Figures Section of this report. The Development Application was lodged with Brisbane City Council (BCC) on 23rd of December 2008 and was ‘properly’ made on 4th of March 2009 (Reference No: A002229617). BCC issued its Acknowledgement Notice on 19th March 2009 and subsequently an amended Acknowledgement Notice was issued on 5th of May 2009. An Information Request (IR) was received on 30th of March 2009. The Development Application has been in an extended information request period since 2009. The purpose of this report is to provide: A description of the ecological condition and values of the Site; Investigate the presence and/or absence of Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act) and Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) listed species and ecological corridor connectivity across the site and regional surrounds; and Identify the conservation planning constraints which apply and the measures which should be implemented in order to mitigate any adverse impacts of the proposed development (refer to Section 6.0). 1.1 Site Description The Site is located in the suburb of Willawong, which is within the Local Government Area of Brisbane City and is approximately 17 kilometres (km) to the south of the Brisbane CBD. Willawong is predominately comprised of detached residential dwellings, rural residential allotments and several large parcels of land historically used for agriculture and extractive industries. Land directly to the east of the Site and also fronting Paradise Road maintains a Light Industrial designation and is comprised of various associated uses. The BCC Willawong Waste Transfer Station is located approximately 1.5 km to the west of the Site and the Sydney-Brisbane Rail Corridor is located approximately 500 m to the west of the property. Other nearby amenities include schools, commercial outlets, parks and recreational facilities and transport and infrastructure corridors. REF:S50033ER001 Paradise & Learoyd Road, Willawong Ecological Assessment 2 The Site is bound to the east by Paradise Road; to the north by Learoyd Road and by greenfield areas associated with Oxley Wedge1 to the south and west. The Site is located in the easternmost corner of the Oxley Wedge and is surrounded by industrial and residential activities. Primary road frontage is to Paradise Road, with secondary road frontage provided from Learoyd Road. Historical uses of the Site include low intensity agriculture as well as a period of extensive sand mining which occurred between the early 1950s to the mid-1970s. A series of water bodies located in the western and southern portions of the Site are remnant indicators of former sand extraction in this area of the Site. The thirteen smaller parcels have previously been used for larger residential lots. The

A new species of Cycas from the Broadsound and Connors Ranges in central Queensland is described, illustrated and diagnosed as C. terryana P.I.Forst. It is known from five populations in an area of occurrence of approximately 800 km² and does not occur in any conservation reserves.

Their valuable therapeutic properties have stimulated a fruitful research activity addressed to the identification of the bioactive components of their extracts yielding a great diversity of terpenes; polyphenols; and other exclusive products. Among the latter, starting with the discovery of myrtucommulone A from myrtle (Myrtus communis), a series of structurally-related acylphloroglucinol compounds have been characterized from several species that represent the basic active principles to be considered in view of possible drug development. Aspects concerning chemical and biological properties of these products are reviewed in the present paper. Keywords: myrtucommulone; acylphloroglucinols; Myrtaceae; plant extracts; biological activities 1. Introduction Myrtle (Myrtus communis) is a typical shrub of maquis and coastal bushes native of the Mediterranean area and Western Asia. It is well-known in traditional medicine, and for centuries its leaves and berries have found ethnomedical application in the treatment of several disorders of the digestive apparatus, as well as pulmonary and skin diseases [1,2].
