EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I Background
Jaeger-Moran Environmental PTY LTD has been commissioned by Reid Family to provide a I Biological Assessment of Lot 2, RP 904899, approx 5 .2 ha with the street address 28 Jacaranda Drive, Parklands. The assessment of the sites ecological and biological values is incorporated in the methodology of the recently developed Biodiversity Assessment and Mapping Methodology I (BAMM) (Environmental Protection Agency October 2002) .
Main Findings
1 . The site vegetation best fits Regional Ecosystem 12 .12 .15 . This Regional Ecosystem is described as a mixed tall open forest with Eucalyptus microcorys, Lophostemon confertus, Corymbaa intermedia, E. propinqua and occasional rainforest species . The site geology consists of Mesozoic to Proterozoic igneous rocks The Conservation Status is "Not Of Concern" under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 .
2. The subject site is within the Maroochy Vegetation Unit C8 : Parklands - Bli Bli . This vegetation unit contains a Coastal Eucalypt mix and has a local conservation status of `No Concern at Present'. The small, degraded riparian zone contains some rainforest characteristics, and over time has the potential to develop into a vine forest of gullies on metasediments.
3. No flora or fauna species listed as Endangered, Vulnerable or Rare under the Nature ' Conservation (wildlife) Regulation 1994 or the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 were detected during the site survey.
4. Field surveys (confirmed species detection) for the study area recorded a total 148 flora species, consisting of .-
(125) Indigenous species of flora and (23) Weed species of flora.
5. The Biological Assessment and Mapping Methodology indicate that the survey site is of Local Biodiversity Significance.

1.2 STUDY AREA DESCRIPTION
The subject land covers an area of approximately 5 2 hectares in size . The site is approximately one third cleared, with the cleared portion of the block, located in the eastern portion of the site along the Nambour-Connection road and a small clearing in the south-western portion of the block abutting Jacaranda Drive.
The site vegetation located in the western portion of the site . This vegetation is consistent with Regional Ecosystem 12.12.15, which is described as mixed tall open forest with Eucalyptus microcorys, Lophostemon confertus, Corymbia antermedaa, E propinqua and occasional rainforest species on Mesozoic to Proterozoic igneous rocks . The Conservation Status is "Not Of Concern" under the Vegetation Management Act 1999. The vegetation remnant is in moderate vegetative condition. Weed control has been undertaken on the site and most of the more prevalent weeds are under control . However there are still scattered weeds throughout the site . These weeds are present throughout the community, but are predominantly concentrated on the edges of the vegetation remnant.
A small ephemeral stream flows through the property from the south to the west . This stream is a tributary for the Caboolture Creek, which eventually flows to the Maroochy River. Presently this creek flows into the downstream neighbours dam . The stream on site contains many weed species including Mist Flower and Salvinia emanating from neighbouring properties.

I 1.3 ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT METHOD S 1.3.1 Field Survey
LI The field survey consisted of a site inspection conducted on the 30th August 2004, to assess the ecological and biological condition of the subject site . The field survey consists of a flora species audit, community structure, vegetation classification, Endangered, Vulnerable or Rare (EVR) flora search, and examines the sites potential habitat for fauna.
Both flora and fauna issues were addressed during the site survey with specific information also forming part of the desktop survey. The field survey provided a visual assessment of the site and verification of site characteristics. I I 1.3.2 Desktop Survey (BAMM)
Li The desktop survey uses the field survey information in collaboration with ecological information available in Geographic Information System (GIS), such as Regional Ecosystem data, Endangered, Vulnerable or Rare (EVR) species and surrounding influences . This information is then assessed against the Biodiversity Assessment and Mapping Methodology (BAMM) criteria produced by the Environmental Protection Agency (version 3 .3, October 2002) . k The BAMM has been prepared to provide a consistent approach for assessing biodiversity values in Queensland. The BAMM uses seven diagnostic and four supplementary criteria (only the seven diagnostic criteria have been used in this report, the four supplementary are for an `Expert Panel') to determine the relative significance of a remn ant vegetation area. The -result of this BAMM criterion identifies remnant vegetation areas that are of biodiversity significance at State, Regional and Local scales Appendix 1 shows the table used to assess the signific ance rating. u Li h

2.0 FIELD ECOLOGICAL ASSESS MENT
The field survey consisted of a site inspection conducted on the 30th August 2004, to assess the ecological and biological condition of the subject site. The aim of the field survey was to identify the Regional Ecosystem, search for any Endangered, Vulnerable and Rare (EVR) flora species, and assess the overall ecological and fauna habitat condition of the survey site .
2.1 FLORA VALUE S
2.1.1 Regional Ecosystems
The Regional Ecosystem classification is used by the Environmental Protection Agency as the primary basis for describing and planning the conservation of biodiversity in the state. Remnant Regional Ecosystems (i.e. the extent remaining since European clearing) have been mapped by the Queensland Herbarium, and their conservation status is determined on the basis of their remaining extent, together with their condition and the presence of threatening processes . The three defined classes of conservation status for Regional Ecosystems are Endangered, Of Concern and No Concern at Presents .
The site vegetation best fits Regional Ecosystem 12 .12.15, which was located in the Western portion of the property (see Appendix 3) . This Regional Ecosystem was in moderate ecological condition with weed disturbances present throughout the remnant in the shrub and ground layer

2.1.2 Ecosystem Structure
I The species audit recorded a total 148 flora species for this s ite. This comprised of 125 native species of flora and 23 weed species (refer to Appendix 2 : Plant Species List) . The ecosystem structure for the remn ant vegetation was recorded as follows :
Canopy (20m):
' Eucalyptus microcorys, Eucalyptus acmenoides, Eucalyptus grandis, Corymbia trachyphloia, Eucalyptus pilularis with Eucalyptus grandis, on lower slopes and gully lines .
I Mid-Stratum (10-15m) :
Lophostemon confertus, Livistona australas, Acacia melanoxylon, Alphitonaa excelsa, Backhousia I myrtzfolza .
Lower Stratum (2-5m): I Synoum glandulosum, Glochidion sumatranum, Cordyline rubra, Elaeocarpus reticulatus , ' Glochidionferdinandi, Guioa semiglauca, Pilidiostigma rhytispermum, Neolitsea dealbata with sparse weed species Cinnamomum camphora .
' Ground Layer ( Blechnum cartilagineum, Calochlaena dubia, Pteridium esculentum, Zieria smathaa, Smilax I australis, Dianella caerulea, Ottochloa gracillama I LJ H Jaeger-Moran Environmental PTY LTD 9 7 BAMM-04073 Jacaranda Open Forest, Parkland s 2.1.3 Vegetation Condition The condition of the vegetation on site can be rated as moderate due to the encroachment of weed I species. Out of 148 total flora species observed there were 125 native species and 23 weed species noted (see plant list in Appendix 2) . Weed species can be found in low density throughout the whole property. The main weeds of concern are the declared species targeted for legislative control under the Lands Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002, as listed below: Scientific name Common Declared Comments Name Weed Statu s Salvinia molesta Salivina Class 2 Encroaching from neighbours Dam Lantana Camara Lantana Class 3 Landowner successfully undergoing control . Sphagneticola trilobata Singapore Class 3 Landowner successfully undergoing control . Daisy Spathodea campanulata African Tulip Class 3 Juveniles scattered throughout vegetatio n L. 1 Tree mature trees on Jacaranda Road edge . Species requires cutting and poisoning stump with glyphosate herbicide eg roundup I Cinnamomum camphora Camphor Class 3 Juveniles scattered throughout vegetation laurel Species requires cutting and poisoning stump with glyphosate herbicide eg roundup Ageratina riparia Mist weed Recently The weed was low in abundance and removed entering from neighbouring property upstream Class 2 weed species are well established in Queensland, which have or could have adverse environmental, economic or social impacts . Landowners are required to take reasonable steps to keep land free of Class 2 weed species . Class 3 weeds are a recent addition to the Lands Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 Class 3 weed species are primarily environmental weeds . This category includes many common garden species that are becoming environmental weeds Landowners are required to take reasonable steps to keep land free of Class 3 weed species in and adjacent to environmentally significant areas H C Jaeger-Moran Environmental PTY LTD 10 I BAMNI-04073 Jacaranda Open Forest, Parkland s 2.1.4 EVR Species No Endangered, Vulnerable or Rare (EVR) flora species listed under the Nature Conservation (wildlife) Regulation 1994 or the Environmental Protection and Biodaversaty Conservation Act 1999 were detected during the site visit . Target flora species searched for include: Scientific Name Common Name Conservation Status Pouteria eerwah Eerwah Pine, Black Plum Endangered Macadamia ternifolaa Vulnerable Maroochy Nut Vulnerable Romnalda strobilacea Vulnerable Alyxia magnifolia Large-leaved Chain-fruit Rare Nothoalsomitra suberosa Corky Cucumber Rare Pararistolochia praevenosa Richmond Bird-wing Vine Significant i 1 1 1 Jaeger-Moran Environmental PTY LTD 11 BAMM-04073 Jacaranda Open Forest, Parklands 2.2 FAUNA VALUES 2.2.1 Habitat Condition The fauna habitat condition for the site can be rated as low to moderate. The positive aspects include: • An ephemeral gully line may provide water for fauna us e • Fallen logs left in-situ provide good habitat for terrestrial vertebrates • Small hollows observed on two trees along the creek line . • Dense ground and shrub strata (structure) of the vegetation remnant provides shelter for terrestrial animals. • High level of insect activity at present This provides food source for insectivorous fauna species. • Litoriafallax (Dwarf tree frog) calls were heard incidentally while on site . Negative factors for potential fauna habitat included cleared areas of the property, weed encroachment, neighbouring rural properties used for agriculture and the nearby busy roads (Nambour-Connection Road and Bruce Highway) as they fragment terrestrial linkages to other vegetation remnants. 2.2.2 Movement Corridors The vegetation in the Parklands area is largely fragmented via agricultural properties and busy roads such as Nambour-Connection Road and Bruce Highway The following summarises the subject site fauna linkages. Refer to Appendix 4 Faunal Connectivity map to view this visually. • North of the site is a riparian link along the Caboolture Creek, this eventually flows into the Maroochy River, however in many places further along the creek the riparian zone is fragmented . • To the West of the subject site is a bushland State Forest, however as this is on the opposite site of the busy Nambour Connection Road and Bruce Highway. This is a fragmented link viable only to flying species of fauna. • To the East and Southeast are fragmented terrestrial links suitable for flying species and terrestrial species willing to cross roads and small cleared tracts of land . Jaeger-Moran Environmental PTY LTD 12 BAMM-04073 Jacaranda Open Forest, Parkland s 2.2.3 EVR Species No Endangered, Vulnerable or Rare fauna species listed under the Nature Conservation (wildlife) Regulation 1994 and the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, were incidentally detected on site, or have been recorded specifically for the subject site . A Wildnet Database search was conducted to explore any previous fauna records for the site and surrounding area. The subject site fauna analysis comprises primarily on desktop information augmented with a field habitat assessment and incidental fauna observations/calls . Target fauna species searched for during the site visit included : Scientific Name Common Name Conservation Status Litoraa pearsoniana Cascade Tree Frog Endangered Calyptorhynchus lathami Glossy Black Cockatoo Vulnerable Adelotus brevis Tusked frog Vulnerable Phascolarctos cinereus Koala Regionally Vulnerable (South East Queensland bioregion 12 ) Clamacteris erythrops Red-browed Treecreeper Rare Eroticoscincus graciloides Elf Skink Rare Accipiter novaehollandiae Grey Goshawk Rare Jaeger-Moran Environmental PTY LTD 13 BAMM-04073 Jacaranda Open Forest, Parkland s 3.0 DESKTOP ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT (BAMM) 3.1 BAMM criterion The following criteria have been developed by the Environmental Protection Agency, 2002 to provide a consistent approach for assessing biodiversity values in Queensland .

Jaeger-Moran Environmental PTY LTD 15 BAMM-04073 Jacaranda Open Forest, Parkland s 3.2 BAMM EVALUATIO N It should be noted that the BAMNI criterion has been applied to the property in question . The larger remnant vegetation unit, of which the site is a part of, may be evaluated differently if the remnant vegetation unit covers a larger area, which may include a more diverse array of ecosystems and significant flora and fauna The three levels of biodiversity significance are State, being the most significant, Regional, and Local being the least significant level . The information for the site, as rated above, has been filtered through the significance table (Appendix 1) and has triggered the 18th query This indicates that the survey site is of Local Biodiversity Significance. Jaeger-Moran Environmental PTY LTD 16 BAMM-04073 Jacaranda Open Forest, Parkland s I 4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS These recommendations are in relation to the minor subdivision as per plan number Y30840P03 prepared by Downs Surveyors The following recommendations include recommendations to protect and enhance the vegetation remnant, and maintain faunal movement corridors for the area . • Minimal tree removal is recommended as cleared housing sites currently exist, refer to ' Appendix 5 site photographs . • Removal of declared and invasive weed species as listed in section 2 .1 .3 Vegetation Condition. A weed management plan may be required due to the abundant and invasive nature of the weed species detected on site . • The use of local providence native species during the landscaping will assist in maintaining the native faunal movement within the area, and maintain visual amenity to the area .
