1. Introduction This report provides a description of the ecological values found within lot plan 62RG550 and the adjacent Chinchilla-Tara Road reserve and Condamine River water reserve, herein referred to as ‘the Site’. The results are based on an initial desktop assessment followed by a field survey to confirm the vegetation communities, flora and fauna species, habitat values and areas of disturbance. This report has been compiled by Richard Johnson, Senior Ecologist, BOOBOOK Ecological Consulting. The field surveys were conducted by a team of ecologists led by Craig Eddie, Principal Ecologist. Craig Eddie is approved to undertake ecological surveys by Commonwealth Department of Environment and Energy (formerly the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities) in writing on 31/05/2011.

2. Site Context

Table 5: Site Context

Bioregion The Site is located within the Brigalow Belt South bioregion, subregion 31 Eastern Darling Downs, on old and more recent alluvial depositional plains associated with the Condamine River floodplain.

Climate The nearest weather station for which climate data is available is at Miles PO (station 42023), approximately 45 km west of the Site. Here, mean annual temperature maxima and minima are respectively 27.1oC and 12.2oC; mean annual rainfall is 647 mm. Rain may fall in any month but is summer- dominant with highest falls in the December to February period. A weather station at Chinchilla Water Treatment Plant (no. 41017) recorded 61.8 mm of rain in October prior to the survey. No data were available for November; some rain fell on the day prior to the survey (6.4 mm at Miles). Minimum and maximum temperatures recorded at Miles on the day of survey were 10.5oC and 27.9oC respectively.

Current land use Lot 62RG550 is extensively developed for agriculture, including both cropping and pastoral use. A large dam is present and other infrastructure includes several access roads and tracks. Most native vegetation has been removed, with some areas of advanced regrowth and remnant open forest present in the north. This includes Casuarina cristata- dominated open forest, Eucalyptus populnea woodland and riparian Eucalyptus camaldulensis and E. coolabah woodland. Adjacent road reserves support remnant C. cristata open forest. Disturbances here include property access tracks and recreational motorcycle tracks.

Soils and geology Underlying geology for most of the site is Quaternary flood-out deposits overlying the sedimentary Kumbarilla Beds formation. Soils here are deep clay loams, sometimes with shallow sandy surfaces, formed on gently undulating plains. In the north of the Site, Quaternary to recent alluvium is associated with the Condamine River and its floodplain, with clay and silt being the predominant soils. Land Zones (Sattler and Williams 1999) present at the Site are 4: Cainozoic clay deposits, and 3: Cainozoic alluvial plains.

3.2. Field Survey Ecological surveys were conducted in accordance with:  The Methodology for Survey and Mapping of Regional Ecosystems and Vegetation Communities in Queensland (Neldner et al. 2017)  In line with the methodology described in the Environmental Constraints Planning and Field Development Protocol (Q-LNG01-15-MP-0109, Australia Pacific LNG 2011). Field surveys were undertaken on 23rd November 2018.

3.2.1. Vegetation Community Survey 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 Neldner et al. (2017). The vegetation community surveys were undertaken within 50m x 10m plots for the purpose of typifying the vegetation community under assessment. Vegetation community data was entered into the data fields provided by the Trimble data capture system. A total of six formal vegetation community surveys were undertaken within the Site. Ground-truthing of the DNRM RE designation (DNRM 2015) at and surrounding the Site was undertaken via quaternary level and random meanders transect assessments, as defined by Neldner et al. (2017). The locations of the vegetation community survey sites are presented in Appendix A: Site Location and Survey Points. Relative abundance data was collected for each stratum within the community as per the methodology described in the Environmental Constraints Planning and Field Development Protocol (Q-LNG01-15-MP- 0109 Australia Pacific LNG (2011)), as presented by the vegetation structure point data sheet of the Trimble unit. Where necessary, representative photo(s) were taken of the subject vegetation community via a digital camera. Photo aspect data was recorded. Vegetation community polygons were verified in accordance with Queensland regional ecosystem (biodiversity status) (DES 2018a) and EPBC threatened ecological community (TEC) criteria (TSSC 2011, DoE 2013).

3.2.2. Habitat Surveys Habitat surveys were undertaken in conjunction with vegetation community survey within the 50 m x 10 m quadrant. A total of six formal habitat surveys were undertaken across the Site (Appendix A: Site Location and Survey Points). Within each habitat survey, a range of habitat features were recorded on the relevant Trimble data sheet. Where deemed appropriate, representative photo(s) were taken of the given habitat patch via the Trimble unit. Photo aspect data is entered into the relevant data sheet.

3.2.3. Threatened Flora and Fauna Survey Threat-listed species are those listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and the Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation 2006. Targeted threat-listed flora searches were undertaken for species highlighted by the database and literature review. Searches were undertaken based on incidental field observations of high quality habitat, the identification of distinct ecological features through the preliminary desktop and literature review, or within the vicinity of a vegetation community survey/habitat feature plots where field ecologists deemed the given area to be of sufficient potential value to a threatened species to warrant such a search. Fauna species were recorded opportunistically throughout the survey area. Any observations of threatened species (whether within search areas or opportunistically) were recorded using the Trimble data capture system. Where practicable, photo(s) were taken of the subject threatened species. Any flora specimens deemed as potential threatened species and not conclusively identified by the ecologists were forwarded to the Queensland Herbarium for verification.

Doc Ref: Open Text CDN: 21810532 Revision: 1 Page 11 of 84 Access, Land and Community, Australia Pacific LNG Project Uncontrolled when printed unless issued and stamped Controlled Copy. Ecology Assessment Report REPORT

Results of the Herbarium assessments can be seen in Appendix B: Herbarium Report of Species Collected on Site.

3.2.4. Exotic Fauna Survey Presence and abundance of fauna species listed as Prohibited and/or Restricted Matter under the Biosecurity Act 2014 (Schedules 1 and 2), were recorded at the time of the survey both within survey plots and opportunistically while traversing the Site. Exotic fauna species were entered into the Trimble data capture system when encountered. Note that exotic flora species were also recorded: these are reported in a separate Weed Survey Report.

3.2.5. Disturbance Survey Evidence of disturbance at survey sites was recorded for type, severity and estimated time of most recent occurrence. The recording of disturbance was also conducted at opportunistic levels where appropriate.

3.2.6. Watercourse/wetland Survey All mapped ordered streams within each property were assessed, across their full length, to determine if these mapped features were watercourses or drainage features as defined by the Water Act 2000. Ordered stream assessments included assessment of the presence/absence of a defined channel with bed and banks, riparian vegetation and hydrophytes. The extent of streams assessed as watercourses was mapped using imagery and/or a GPS-derived track log. If potential wetlands were encountered they were assessed against the hydrological and biotic criteria of the Queensland Wetland Program wetland definition (DERM 2011).

3.2.7. Survey Limitations A number of factors are considered likely to influence survey results for particular species or species groups. These factors are:  Timing (seasons) and duration of the survey period  Weather conditions in the preceding seasons and immediately prior to the survey  Restricted spatial area of the habitats within the Site Due to the above-listed items, the surveys undertaken may not provide a true indication of seasonal habitat utilisation by fauna species within the Site. Some cryptic flora species may only be detected during particular flowering periods. The field investigations undertaken were limited to passive techniques (e.g. no live trapping) and were limited to late spring. Additional survey effort would be required to provide a more comprehensive inventory of species, both threatened and common.

4.2.1.1. Ground-truthed Threatened Ecological Communities Two EPBC Act listed TEC were recorded during the field survey at the Site, these being Brigalow (Acacia harpophylla dominant and co-dominant); and Coolibah and Black Box woodlands of the Brigalow Belt South and Darling Riverine Plains bioregions. A patch of Brigalow (Acacia harpophylla) dominated advanced regrowth was consistent with criteria for the TEC. Note that Belah (Casuarina cristata) dominated RE 11.4.3, which was extensive at the Site, does not meet criteria for inclusion in the Brigalow TEC. Coolibah (Eucalyptus coolabah) woodland above the Condamine River met criteria for the Coolibah/Black Box woodlands TEC.

4.2.1.2. Threatened Flora

4.2.2.2. Special Least Concern Species Four SLC flora species were detected during the field survey, these being:  Kurrajong (Brachychiton populneus);  Mulga Fern (Cheilanthes sieberi);  Black Orchid (Cymbidium canaliculatum); and  Sandalwood (Santalum lanceolatum). One listed SLC fauna species was detected during the field survey, this being:  Short-beaked Echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus).

4.2.2.3. Pest Flora Indicative distribution of pest flora on site has been mapped based on field survey results (Appendix K: Ground Truthed Pest Flora Present on Site). Prohibited and/or Restricted Matter flora encountered during the field survey are listed in Table 17.

4.2.3. Disturbance Remnant vegetation within the Chinchilla-Tara Road reserve is disturbed by property access and other informal tracks, including recreational motorcycle tracks. Grazing of cattle occurs within remnant and regrowth vegetation on Lot 62RG550. Gully and sheet erosion is conspicuous on the soil boundary between clay plains and the narrow riparian frontage of the Condamine River. Some areas of dead woody vegetation regrowth on Lot 62RG550 appeared to have been treated with herbicide.

4.2.4. Watercourses and Wetlands One mapped stream order located at the Site was inspected as part of the field surveys. It was confirmed to constitute a watercourse for the purpose of the Water Act 2000. This was the Condamine River, mapped as stream order 8. Water feature assessment locations are mapped at Appendix M: Ground Truthed Drainage Features, Watercourses and Wetlands Present on Site.

Caveat The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report.

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 and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of International and National 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.

Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been derived through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and if time permits, maps are derived using either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc) together with point locations and described habitat; or environmental modelling (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental data layers.

Where very little information is available for species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04 or 0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull); or captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc). In the early stages of the distribution mapping process (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to rapidly create distribution maps. More reliable distribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions as time permits.

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.
