Current mapping by the Queensland Herbarium (DERM 20lla) identifies two Regional Ecosystems (RE's)within the proposed Esplanade:
RE: 12.3.1 "Gallery Rainforest on Alluvial Plains". Description: Complex to simple notophyll vine forest. Waterhousea f10ribunda is predominant fringing stream channels. Others species include Cryptocarya obovata, C. triplinervis, Argyrodendron trifoliatum, Ficus coronata, F. fraseri, F. macrophylla, Aphananthe philippinensis, Elaeocarpus grandis, Grevillea robusta, Castanospermum australe and Syzygium francisii. Eucalypts spp emergent's (e.g. E. grandis) and Araucaria cunninghamii. Occurs on Quaternary alluvial plains.
RE: 12.8.3 "Complex notophyll vine forest on Cainozoic igneous rocks. Altitude <600m" Description: Complex notophyll vine forest. Characteristic species include Argyrodendron trifoliolatum, Argyrodendron sp. (Kin Kin W.D.Francis AQ81198), Olea paniculata, Castanospermum australe, Cryptocarya obovata, Ficus macrophylla forma macrophylla, Syzygium francisii, Diploglottis australis, Pseudoweinmannia lachnocarpa, Podocarpus elatus, Bei/schmiedia obtusifolia, Neolitsea dealbata and Archontophoenix cunninghamiana. Occurs on Cainozoic igneous rocks, especially basalt <600m altitude.
The area mapped as Remnant Vegetation is approximately 4200m2, almost 1/3 of the proposed Esplanade rehabilitation area. Ground truthing would indicate that all remnant vegetation is RE: 12.8.3 and this rehabilitation is based on the rehabilitation of vegetation within the mapped RE areas and re-establishment throughout the remaining area. The majority of the rehabilitation area is not mapped as Remnant Vegetation and is either denuded of vegetation (creek bank areas) or turfed, or contains woody weed (Ligustrum lucidum) + regrowth native vegetation.

Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan, 106 Obi Vale, July 2012 -Brush Turkey Enterprises 5 3.0 REHABILITATION AREAS The following map of the Esplanade identifies the areas to be regenerated and revegetated to restore Regional Ecosystem 12.8.3. The revegetation areas are to be located between the top of creek bank and the creek itself. D Revegetation Area Revegetation is the term used to describe the planting of native vegetation. This technique is ideal in those areas that have been cleared of or are suffering a severe reduction in diversity native vegetation. These areas have been mainly cleared of native vegetation, particularly lower and understorey vegetation. They will require planting to re-establish. Zones 0(Approx 1100m2) & Zones F (Approx 650m2) II Bush Regeneration Area Regeneration is the term used to describe the ability of an ecosystem to recover from natural seed sources, if weed control is undertaken. Some supplementary revegetation may be required. These areas have a broken canopy of native vegetation and mainly enquire control of environmental weeds. Zones A (Approx 2800m2), Zones B (Approx 3000m2) & Zones C (Approx lS00m2). D Turfed Esplanade Zones E is a narrow section of the esplanade, with good bank stability and manageability. Sir Walter Turf is the dominant grass within this section.

Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan, 106 Obi Vale, July 2012 -Brush Turkey Enterprises 6 I 4.0 BUSH REGENERATION METHODOLOGY Some areas within the site A have to moderate environmental (Zones ,B, C) light weed infestations with species such as Small-Leaf Privet( Ligustrum sinense) Broad Leaf Privet (Ligustrum lucidum) and Lantana (Lantana camara) being present. Four Declared Plants were located on the site (see below, list 4.2). However,these areas also have a mod-high level of resilience within the existing native vegetation and are best treated with Bush Regeneration management techniques. All regeneration areas (Image 7)require bush regeneration works. Bush regeneration is defined by the Australian Association of Bush Regenerators (AABR)as: lithe practice of restoring bushland by focusing on reinstating and reinforcing the systems' ongoing natural regeneration processes". It Is a term known and used popularly within Australia by its practitioners (and to an extent by the wider community) The Bush Regeneration Works proposed for this site consist primarily of the management of environmental weeds. These works should only be undertaken by skilled bush regenerators so as to reinstate the natural ecological recruitment processes of the native species on the site. Bush Regeneration on this site should be undertaken on this site as per the following recommendations listed as: 4.1 Time Line, 4.2 Environmental and Declared Weeds 4.3 Control Treatment Description, 4.4 Environmental and Declared Weeds Status. Image 9: Woody weed management in progress. Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan, 106 Obi Vale, July 2012 -Brush Turkey Enterprises 7 4.1 Bush Regeneration Time Line The initial works stage ofthe works program is outlined as a three month strategy, prior to going onto the maintenance program as outlined below. Within this time frame all non endemic species are to be removed using the above outline technique, in a manner that is consistent with best practice Bush Regeneration technique and management. 4.1.2 Bush Regeneration Schedule Activity Requirement Timeframe Primary Works the entire bush land will be worked through by appropriately Commencement of (Program A) qualified bush regenerators, removing all non endemic Project species using the above outline techniques. This should be undertaken with minimal disturbance to the native flora and fauna. Primary Works depending on the time of year this works should be 6-8 weeks after (Program B) undertaken approximately 6to 8 weeks after initial works commencement of Program A. Within this program the entire area will need to project be worked through again to ensure all weed removal has been undertaken. As well as this special attention needs to be paid to foliar sprayed areas and the die off of stem injected individuals. Primary Works to be undertaken 12 weeks after initial works Program B. 12 weeks after (Program C) The entire area needs to be worked through again to ensure commencement of removal of all exotic flora populations present at project commencement of works. Maintenance Bush regeneration is to be undertaken bi-monthly" between 3- 12months after the months September and March, during peak growth commencement of season project Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan, 106 Obi Vale, July 2012 -Brush Turkey Enterprises 8 4.2 Environmental & Declared Weed Species The following environmental weeds were seen on the property in November 2011 but in no way represent a comprehensive exotic flora survey of the property. These weeds were identified in the proposed treatment zones and some are either declared in SEQ or potentially invasive of native vegetation rehabilitation areas. Species Common name Declared Control Plants. Technique Cinnamomum camphora Camphor Laurel Class 3 A,B,C,F Lantana Camara Lantana Class 3 A,F,I,H,I Ligustrum lucidum Broadleaf Privet Class 3 A,B,C,o,F,1 Ligustrum sinensis Small-leaf Privet Class 3 A,B,C,D,F,I Passiflora suberosa Passion Vine - A,o,F,1 Solanum chrysotrichum Devils Fig - A,B,C,D,E,F Solanum mauritianum Wild Tobacco - A,C,E,F,I Tradescantia fluminensis Wandering Jew - F,I Key to control techniques Declared Plants -Class 3 (Refer next page for further A Class 3 pest is one that is commonly estabUshed in parts info.) of Queensland and a notice may be issued on a landowner A Cut and Paint to take reasonable action against the weed if it is causing, B Stem Inject or has the potential to cause an adverse impact, on a C Frill and Paint nearby 'environmentally significant area' (e.g. a national 0 Scrape and Paint park).

F Foliar Spray Species not declared under the Land Protection (Pests and G Ringbark/Fell Stock Route Management)Act 2002 may still be declared H Slash at a local government level under local laws. I Manual Removal Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan, 106 Obi Vale, July 2012 -Brush Turkey Enterprises 9 4.3 Environmental Weed Control Techniques Cut and Paint: The target weed is mechanically removed by cutting off at ground level and the stump painted with a 1: 1 mix of Glyphosate 360 and water. Stem Injection: This method involves drilling into the cambium layer of the bark at approximately 100mm intervals all around the trunk ofthe target weed, as close to ground as possible. The drilled holes are immediately filled with 1:1 Glyphosate 360 and water. This technique is only recommended for larger individuals that the felling of will cause a negative impacts. It should not be undertaken in areas of high public access as the individual will eventually die and may cause a safety concern when falling does occur. Frill and Paint: This method involves cutting into the cambium layer of the bark at approximately 100mm intervals all around the trunk of the target weed, as close to ground as possible. The wounds are immediately filled with 1:1 Glyphosate 360 and water. Scrape and Paint: This method is recommended for vine species. The technique involves mechanically scraping a length of the vine (approximately 300mm)using a knife, to remove the outer bark and to expose the cambium layer. This area is than pasted with a 1:1 mix of Glyphosate 360 and water. Basal Bark: This method involves painting or spraying the base of the target weed with a the recommended herbicide and diesel as a method of penetrating the bark. Useful on thin barked plants. This method should not be used in a watercourse. Foliar Spraying: Chemical application via knapsacks or spray units to the foliage of the target weed. Chemical used may vary. Application rates and chemical types must be in accordance to that specified by the chemical label. Application must be undertaken by a suitably qualified person/so Monitoring of die off is also to be undertaken two weeks after application. While a number of chemicals may be used for the various target weeds, it is recommended that only Glyphosate based herbicides that are registered for use in aquatic situations should be used for broad spectrum spraying. Ringbarking/Felling: No chemical use is required with Pinus or Palm species that are cut close to ground level. Ringbarking is suitable for smaller Pinus and for larger Pinus that will pose no public safety issues. Slashing: Use of brushcutters or slashers may be suitable to reduce the bulk of exotic grasses, vines, scramblers such as lantana prior to any herbicide treatment. Slasher access to the site would reduce initial weed control costs conSiderably. Manual Removal: The target weed is physically removed from the ground roots and all. This method is only recommended for immature individuals. Notes on Chemical Use: It is recommended that herbicide use by contactors, should be undertaken only by or under the supervision of licensed Commercial Operators, for a licensed Ground Distribution Contractor. Chemical usage should be in accordance with manufacturers label or the Off label Permit (AGVET Chemical Product) PER 11463 Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan, 106 Obi Vale, July 2012 -Brush Turkey Enterprises 10 4.4 Environmental and Declared Weeds Status As per - The land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 Environmental Weed - an environmental weed is a plant that invades native plant communities (it may also invade farmland and urban areas). Environmental weeds hinder the survival and regeneration of native vegetation, thus affecting native fauna and, in some cases, permanently altering both vegetation structure and composition. Declared Weed - Pest plants targeted for control under state legislation are species that have, or could have, serious economic, environmental or social impacts. Pest management legislation aims to help protect Queensland's economy, biodiversity and people's lifestyles by: preventing the introduction and establishment of new pest plants in Queensland; preventing the spread of established pest plants into new areas and reducing the extent of existing infestations where feasible. Eight environmental weeds were located during the survey, The most significant include Ligustrum spp and lantana. Four Declared Plants were located during the survey period, Four Class 3 plants. Requirements by the QLD Government for the management of Declared Plants surveyed are given below. A Class 3 pest is one that is very common in Queensland but is having a serious impact on native bush land. landholders can be required to control these pests if they live next to 'environmentally significant areas', such as national parks or reserves, but only if the reserve is still is still free of the pest. Class 3 pests cannot be sold.

Revegetation Zones All five areas require some degree of revegetation as outlined below. Refer Map (Image 7)on pageS. Zones A,B,C: although designated as Regeneration areas, may require some supplementary pioneer /canopy plantings. Zone 0:contains several remnant trees but requires revegetation with canopy, middle and under storeys. Zones F: contains intact canopy and only require revegetation of middle and under storeys. Zone E: Turfed area, but requires revegetation with scattered specimen trees. Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan, 106 Obi Vale, July 2012 -Brush Turkey Enterprises 12 5.2 Revegetation Stock Selection Revegetation of the areas is to be undertaken using the attached Revegetation Species list - Appendix 1 and density and spacing given in 5.4. All species are to be sourced locally (provenance within 50km)with a minimum of 75% of the outlined species used within the revegetation. Numbers given in 5.4 are guides only and actual selection will pend on availability of stock at time of planting and ground truthing of site once revegetation areas are demarcated. 5.3 Site Preparation 5.3.1: Mow or brush cut area as required, and 2 weeks later apply herbicide blanket spray to revegetation areas, planting to occur approximately 4-6 weeks later. 5.3.2 Remove or Insitu poison any remaining woody weed insitu e.g. Ligustrum IUcidum, prior to planting 5.4 Revegetation Planting Densities & Spacing The following table provides a guide for stock requirements for the revegetation Zones.

Numbers required should take into account existing native vegetation density and practicable planting area. Refer Appendix 1 Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan, 106 Obi Vale, July 2012 -Brush Turkey Enterprises 13 5.5 Mulch All revegetation areas to be mulched after weed control has been undertaken. Mulch types as follows 1. Forest blend mulch -75-100mm thick, in those areas not susceptible to flooding 2. Jute Mat -Blanket mulch, pinned and staked as per manufacturers recommendations within areas susceptible to flooding. 3. Spot mulching with either forest blend'mulch (400mm x 400mm x 100mm deep) or Mulch Mats (370mm2) for scattered plantings. 5.6 Tree Guards Tree guards provide valuable protection for trees and shrubs during their establishment period, by protecting planted stock form exposure, grazing by herbivores (e.g. Hares) and maintenance activities such as brushcutting and weed spraying. Plant Pink Tree Guards "are recommended for trees and shrubs. 5.7 Fertiliser and other Planting Supplements Organic based fertilisers only to be used in the plantings, and to be used under mulch or in the planting hole, to ensure no run off of fertiliser into creek. Fertilisers such as Terracottem" or Tree. starter" recommended. Planting Gel also recommended if rainfall is lower or predicted to be lower than average at time of planting. Use as per manufacturers recommendations. It also recommended that all revegetation stock is treated with an anti-transpirant (e.g. EnvyTM) so as to reduce dehydration and desiccation of stock at time of planting. This should be able to be undertaken by the nursery who supplies the revegetation stock. 5.8 Timing Revegetation works should preferably take place between October and March to allow sufficient time for planted stock to establish prior to potential frosts in winter. 5.9 Planting Procedure 1. All plants are to be pre- soaked in buckets prior to planting (to ensure potting mix is thoroughly wetted). 2. Using a mattock, planting auger or similar tool, scrape back mulch and dig each hole. 3. The hole will be on average should be 50% deeper than the height of the plant container and twice as wide. 4. A slow release fertiliser should be used with each plant as per manufacturer's recommendations. 5. The plant is to be placed into the hole so that the top of the potting mix is 10-20mm below soil level. No potting mix should be exposed on the surface or the tubestock will rapidly dry out and die. 6. The hole is then refilled and gently compacted around the tube stock. 7. Water thoroughly after planting, if required and once per week for the first month and monthly for the first year as required. Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan, 106 Obi Vale, July 2012 -Brush Turkey Enterprises 14 5.10 Maintenance This recommends report a twelve month maintenance period to ensure establishment of the revegetation zones. Maintenance works within this period are to consist of (see Revegetation Schedule for further detail) : 1. Replace dead stock as required 2. Control weed growth as required 3. Re-mulch as required 5.11 Revegetation Schedule Activity Requirements Timeframe Source Suitable Propagate stock from site and/or Commencement of Species source tubestock from local native Project plant nurseries (specialising in local provenance) Site Preparation Weed control Commencement of Project Mulch Blanket Mulch VMO approx 350m2 2-4 weeks prior to planting Planting Plant revegetation stock as specified in 4-6 weeks after this plan commencement of weed control Year 1 Maintenance Replace tubestock and supplementary Every 6-8 weeks watering as required.
