■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment 1. Introduction

Saunders Havill Group (SHG) was engaged by Pacific International Corporation Pty Ltd (PACIFIQ) to carry out an ecological technical assessment to support a referral under the Commonwealth Government’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The purpose of this report is to identify potential Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES), specifically listed threatened species that may be impacted by the proposed urban development (‘the action’) of land located at Lot 24 Bushman Drive and 69 Wyatt Road, Jimboomba (‘the site’).

The site is located within Logan City Council (LCC) but lies within the Greater Flagstone Priority Development Area (PDA) and as such is governed by Economic Development Queensland (EDQ). EDQ has a strategic planning function within the Queensland Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDMIP) and is a key regulator of development within Priority Development Areas. As such, EDQ have jurisdiction for the implementation and enforcement of development applications in relation to the referral site.

1.1. The Proposed Action Contextually, the site is located within the Greater Flagstone Priority Development Area (PDA), an area undergoing rapid change and urbanisation, which is earmarked to continue into the future. The development proposal (the action) is for a residential subdivision, new roads and open space corridors. The development will be accessed via Bushman Drive and Flinders Lakes Drive and is associated with a major trunk road collector along the southern road easement that was deemed Not a Controlled Action (refer EPBC 2014/7319).

The surrounding landscape contains a mixture of cleared agricultural land, vacant bushland and residential development. The site itself, and the surrounding area, has been subject to broad scale clearing for pastoral land use (refer Plan 1). Adjoining allotments are included within the PDA and are either earmarked for or are under development (refer Plan 2). Many of these adjoining developments already possess determinations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and approvals under the Economic Development Act 2012 for development in a PDA.

The site has been subject to several flora and fauna assessments to address various approval requirements including targeted surveys carried out specifically for assessment against the EPBC Act. Overall, the site predominately contains non-remnant vegetation with the exception of a small patch of Least Concern remnant vegetation extending from the centre to the north-western portion of the site, along and proximal to a section of the mapped waterway which traverses the site from the west. Vegetation condition across the site generally reflects disturbed regrowth, heavily infested with weeds. Ecological input has been provided at all key design junctures in the development noting planning intent is as per the ‘Greater Flagstone Priority Development Area Development Scheme’ (Development Scheme).

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment

The entire site is zoned Urban Living under the Development Scheme and the proposed lot layout has been guided by physical constraints and ecological values informed by specialist consultant reports. As such, the site design is considered to be in-line with on-ground values and the planning intent of the area. PACIFIQ has sought to protect the site’s highest ecological values through sensitive land use responses, including a minimum 10 m to 30 m buffer to the centrally located and north-western mapped waterways.

The site context is displayed in Figure 1 and site aerial in Figure 2. The master plan for the proposed development is included as Appendix A.

° ADDRESS/RPD: 24SP142997 / 1RP49296 20/12/2018 9245 E 02 Fragmentation B ■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment 2. Ecological Assessment Methodology and Process The following steps were undertaken in the preparation of this assessment:

1. Desktop analysis 2. Legislation and policy review 3. Field survey 4. MNES relevance assessment analysis and 5. Recommendations.

Details of the methodology undertaken for each of the assessment phases is provided in the following sections.

2.1. Desktop analysis methodology Prior to the commencement of field surveys, a desktop analysis was conducted of Commonwealth, State and Local environmental databases and overlay mapping including the following:

 Commonwealth Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) protected under Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) on and around the site using the Protected Matters Search Tool (PMST);  Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA) listed threatened species on and around the site using the Wildlife Online Database;  Public environmental databases including Atlas of Living Australia;  State Government environmental overlay mapping and databases including: o Regulated vegetation maps under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 o Flora survey trigger areas under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 o Fish habitat under the Fisheries Act 1994 o Watercourses under the Water Act 2000 o Weeds under the Biosecurity Act 2014 o Matters of State Environmental Significance (MSES) under the State Planning Policy 2017 (i.e. wetland protection areas, coastal management districts, koala habitat etc.)

 PDA Planning Scheme Documents and Maps; and

 LCC Planning Scheme Documents and Maps. A review of aerial photography history was undertaken to assist with the broad delineation of vegetation communities and to determine historical patters to local vegetation communities.

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment

2.2. Field survey methodology A field survey utilising the following methods was conducted to describe site ecological value:

2.2.1 Observational survey for MNES significant flora and fauna, habitat trees and biodiversity values The application area was walked to ensure all species (flora and fauna) were recorded and identified. Particular attention was paid to any threatened species that were listed as possibly occurring on or within the vicinity of the application area and specific micro-assemblages which may support these threatened species. This included observations for vertebrate fauna present on or that may utilise the study area, including faunal lists and significance status of species under the Commonwealth’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) including the JAMBA, CAMBA, ROKAMBA and the Bonn Convention, and Queensland’s Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA).

The observational survey included identification of ecological features and values such as broad vegetation communities, fauna habitats, and ecological corridors. Identification and description of the fauna habitats present within the area included any habitat trees. Specific attention was paid to threatened flora and fauna species. For the purposes of this report, a significant flora and fauna species has been defined as a species that is: scheduled as Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act.

2.2.2 Ground-truthing of vegetation communities Vegetation was ground-truthed and assessed against current Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA) Regional Ecosystem mapping and pre-clear mapping. A comprehensive flora survey was undertaken using a methodology consistent with the established formats used by the Queensland Herbarium Nelder et al. 2005 and Hnatiuk et al. 2009. Survey methodology comprised of an initial visual audit, followed by quantitative assessment of vegetation associations and communities.

The initial visual audit consisted of a random meander over the site to ground-truth desktop investigations and identify the location and extent of any vegetation associations and communities. Qualitative assessments were undertaken by collecting data associated with structural formations (i.e. growths form, stratum intervals, crown cover and height) and floristic associations (i.e. species diversity) for each broad vegetation type.

2.2.3 Property Map of Assessable Vegetation Each Regional Ecosystem community has been accurately surveyed, including producing detailed floristic lists, and checks for any threatened species, or habitat that may support these species. The PMAV process produced accurate data on projected foliage cover and age structure of each vegetation community. Detailed data sheets and GPS markings were recorded within each site using the QLD Herbarium Map Assessment Request forms. Significant changes from the mapped endangered composite regional ecosystem occurred within the eastern portion of the site. The results of these changes are detailed in the flora results section of this report.

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment

2.2.4 Koala Habitat and SAT Surveys Koala Habitat and Spot Assessment Technique (SAT) surveys were undertaken on-site in accordance with the methodology developed by the Australian Koala Foundation (as per Phillips & Callaghan 2011) and specified in the EPBC Act Referral Guidelines for the Vulnerable Koala. The SAT method is an assessment of Koala activity involving a search for any Koalas and signs of Koala usage. The SAT involves identifying a non-juvenile tree of any species within the site that is either observed to have a Koala or scats, or is known to be a food tree or otherwise important for Koalas, and recording any evidence of Koala usage of that tree including presence, identifiable scratches or scats. The nearest non-juvenile tree is then identified and the same data recorded. The next closest non-juvenile tree to the first tree is then assessed and so on until 30 trees have been surveyed. The number of trees showing evidence of Koala activity is expressed as a percentage of the total number of trees sampled to indicate the frequency of Koala usage. Assessment of each tree involves a systematic search for Koala scats beneath the tree within one metre radius of the trunk. After approximately two person minutes of searching for scats, the base of the trunk is observed for scratches and the crown for Koala (refer Phillips & Callaghan 2011).

2.2.5 Infra-red camera traps Camera trapping involves setting up a fixed digital camera to capture images or video of animals which pass in front of camera or are lured by bait. It is a non-invasive technique ideally designed to detect medium to large sized animals as they pass, although it is possible to detect smaller animals with the right set-up. This set-up identifies fauna activity beyond the scope of direct observational studies and in the absence of potential observer impacts.

Infrared sensing cameras with an infrared flash were deployed, which use motion to trigger. Ideally, cameras were attached 30-50cm from the ground on a tree or post, and directed towards the bait/bait cage which is placed about 1.5 -2m from camera.

2.2.6 Ultrasonic bat detection Active ultrasonic monitoring of potential Large-eared Pied Bat flyways was conducted utilising the Wildlife Acoustics ‘Echo Meter Touch’ on an iOS platform which readily allows for the identification of ultrasonic bat species. Chalinolobus dwyeri emits a characteristic frequency between 21.5 and 25.5 kHz and is curved with up sweeping, down sweeping or no tail. It can easily be distinguished from other species by the combination of the low frequencies and distinct pattern of alternation present in search phase calls (refer Pennay et al. 2004).

2.2.7 Nocturnal Searches, spotlighting and roost searches This non-intrusive technique is the most effective method to obtain estimates of nocturnal arboreal mammal incidence and abundance in wooded habitats. Spotlighting also targets medium to large terrestrial nocturnal mammals, and can detect other nocturnal taxon groups (e.g. frogs, geckoes, nocturnal snakes, nocturnal birds, spiders).

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment 3. Legislation, Policy and Planning Instruments 3.1. Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Australian Government’s key piece of environmental legislation is the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The EPBC Act aims to protect and manage matters of environmental significance which include nationally and internationally important flora, fauna, ecological communities and heritage places.

A search using the Commonwealth’s Protected Matters Search Tool (PMST) for the site. The search provides a list of wetlands of international significance, threatened ecological communities and threatened species which have the potential to be temporarily or permanently located within a 5 km radius from the central point of the site. Table 2 lists a summary of these results relevant to the site. The complete results of this search are included in Appendix B.

3.2. Nature Conservation Act 1992 The Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA) classifies and protects significant areas (Protected Areas) and protects Threatened plant and animal species. The Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation 2006 (NCWR) lists plant and animal species presumed extinct, endangered, vulnerable, near threatened, least concern, international or prohibited. The schedules of this regulation were considered in this report using a Wildlife Online Database Search with a 5 km radius from the site. Species listed under the NCWR with the potential to occur around the subject site are shown in Table 3. Refer to Appendix C for full search results.

3.3. Vegetation Management Act 1999 The Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA) is the key mechanism by which the Queensland Government protects the state’s environmental resources pertaining to vegetation. Under the VMA, a series of maps delineate vegetation features across the landscape, which are each assigned a conservation value directly related to the remaining extent of these features in the landscape. The VMA also protects ‘essential habitat’ vegetation where listed threatened species have been known to occur.

Regulated Vegetation Management Mapping (shows vegetation categories used to determine clearing requirements. While areas shown on the map as Category X are not regulated under the VMA, those shown as Category A, B, C or R are subject to clearing requirements. The latter vegetation categories can only be cleared in accordance with an exemption, self-assessable vegetation clearing code, area management plan or development approval. A Supporting Map defining Regional Ecosystems, wetlands, watercourses and essential habitat, is provided with the Regulated Vegetation Management Map. Approval for clearing of native vegetation is required under the Planning Act 2016 (PA), specifically assessment is required against State Code 16: Native Vegetation Clearing of the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP) which are administered by the State Referral Assessment Agency (SARA) which is a division of the Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDMIP).

A property search of the Regulated Vegetation Management Map (RVMM) identifies the site is predominately mapped as Category X (non-remnant vegetation) with a small polygon of Category B vegetation extending from the centre to the north-western portion of the site (refer Figure 3). The Supporting Vegetation Management Map (SVMM) shows this Category B vegetation is described as Least Concern RE12.9-10.2 and two mapped waterways traverse the site; one from the north and one from the south-east (refer Figure 4). It is noted that the site has been subject to two Property Map of Assessable Vegetation (PMAV) assessments which have been certified by the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (NRME) (PMAV 2018/001160; 2018/001148, refer Appendix E). While the provisions of the VMA do not apply within a PDA, the mapping provides guidance with respect to areas of potential significance.

3.5. Australian Soil Resource Information System The Australian Soil Resource Information System (ASRIS) collates and maintains the best available, nationally consistent soil and land resource information for Australia. It provides a scientific information infrastructure for assessing and monitoring the condition of Australia’s soil and land resources and contains a set of spatial and temporal databases that maintain national soil and land information in a consistent and usable format. The Atlas of Australia soils maps the site as containing Chromosols and Kurosols (refer Figure 5).

Table 5: Soil Description

Chromosols have a strong contrasting texture. They are not strongly acidic or sodic in the upper B horizon. The parent material of Chromosols ranges from highly siliceous, siliceous to intermediate in composition. These soils are found in imperfectly drained sites (yellow and grey chromosol) where Chromosol rainfall is between 250mm and 900mm. They are also found in well-drained sites (brown and red chromosol) with rainfall between 350mm and 1400mm. These soils have moderate agricultural potential with moderate chemical fertility and water-holding capacity. They can be susceptible to soil acidification and soil structure decline.

Kurasols have a strong texture contrast (also known as a duplex soil) with a strongly acid B horizon that may or may not be sodic. Kurosols form from parent materials that are highly siliceous, siliceous to intermediate in composition and where rainfall is from 50 to 1350mm in poorly drained sites or 750 Kurosols to 1300mm on well-drained sites. The surface of Kurosol soils are often acidic. They generally have very low agricultural potential with high acidity (pH < 5.5) and low chemical fertility. Kurosols commonly have low water-holding capacity and are often

3.6. Town Planning Instruments The development proposal occurs within the Greater Flagstone Priority Development Area, declared under the Urban Land Development Authority Act 2007, now replaced by the Economic Development Act 2012 (ED Act). This legislation supersedes the requirements of Local Government planning provisions (in this case, the Logan Planning Scheme) and selective other state legislation (e.g. Planning Act 2017, Vegetation Management Act 1999, and others).

On 8 October 2011, the Greater Flagstone PDA Development Scheme (Development Scheme) was approved by the State Government. The Development Scheme is the primary planning instrument which regulates development within the Greater Flagstone PDA. The Development Scheme zones the entire site as Urban Living (refer Figure 6). It is noted that the central east-west waterway is mapped as potential open space under the Development Scheme.

Development applications referred to EDQ for assessment against the Development Scheme will be assessed against the EDQ's Implementation Guidelines for natural environment, biodiversity and koala habitat, specifically PDA Implementation Guideline No. 14 (Environmental values and sustainable resources - IG14) and PDA Implementation Guideline No.17 (Remnant Vegetation and Koala Habitat Obligations in Greater Flagstone and Yarrabilba PDAs) (IG17).

3.6.1 Guideline 14 – Environmental Values and Sustainable Resource Use Guideline 14 outlines the values and strategies for protecting the environment and optimising resource use in PDAs and includes the following strategies:

 Environmental values  Pollution sources  Climate change issues  Natural resources

3.6.2 Guideline 17 – Koala Habitat Obligations Impacts on Koala habitat values will potentially be managed through the measures outlined in the Implementation Guidelines, and where impacts occur at the level outlined in IG17, offsets will be triggered. It is possible that the development, management and offset of site values may also be governed through an approval from the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy, which, if it occurs, is likely to be principally interested in achieving the same outcomes for the site.

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment 4. Ecological Survey Results The proposed residential development area has been subject to extensive on ground surveys by SHG to identify existing ecological values at the site. The following sections present results from all flora and fauna surveys conducted at the site with a focus on the presence or absence of Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) and assessment of the potential for the proposed development to impact on these matters.

Two (2) ecologists from SHG assessed the application site on 11 May, 12, 13 and 20 June, and 5 July 2018 with weather conditions recorded as fine and sunny. The entire site was walked to ensure all vegetation communities and species were recorded. Particular attention was paid to any threatened flora and habitat for any threatened fauna species that were listed as possibly occurring on or within the vicinity of the application area, and specific micro assemblage which may support these threatened species.

Primary focus was placed on Phascolarctos cinereus (Koala) as they are known to occur in the region. Pteropus poliocephalus (Grey-headed Flying-fox) specific surveys were also conducted as likelihood analyses suggested the occurrence of this species on-site was possible. Refer to Appendix E for a copy of the likelihood assessment.

Full survey methodology is detailed in Section 2 of this report. Field survey effort is shown in Plan 3.

4.1. Key MNES Findings No MNES listed threatened flora species or fauna species were recorded by field surveys nor were any threatened species considered likely to utilise the site due significant site disturbances.

The following provides a summary of key MNES findings:

 No TECs were recorded on site.  No listed threatened flora species were recorded on site.  No listed threatened fauna species were recorded on site.  Phascolarctos cinereus (Koala) and Pteropus poliocephalus (Grey-headed Flying-fox) were the only MNES listed threatened species considered as having the potential to occur on site. o Spot Assessment Technique (SAT) surveys for the Koala were undertaken across the site. Three (3) SATs recorded low levels of Koala activity using the east-coast (medium-high) activity category (discussed further in Section 4.5.1).

4.2. General Site Observation The following observations have been made based on desktop and detailed field survey:

 Contextually, the site is located within the southern extent of the Greater Flagstone PDA, approximately 30 km south-east of Ipswich and approximately 19 km south-west of Logan. The site is bounded by the Brisbane-Sydney Interstate Rail Line to the west, rural residential Lots to the

9245 Bushman Drive 23

north, Bushman Drive to the east and Wyatt Road to the south. Previous disturbance has occurred within the site in the south-eastern corner and in patches within the south-western extent.

 The surrounding landscape contains a mixture of cleared agricultural land, vacant bushland and residential development. The site itself, and the surrounding area, has been subject to broad scale clearing for pastoral land use (refer Plan 11 in Section 1.1). Adjoining allotments are included within the PDA and are either earmarked for or are under development. Many of these adjoining developments already possess determinations under the EPBC Act and approvals under the Economic Development Act 2012 (refer Plan 2 in Section 1.1)

 The site covers approximately 43 hectares (ha) and is located to the east of the Brisbane to Sydney railway line and accessed from Wyatt Road to the south. Elevation across the site ranges from approximately forty (40) to thirty (30) m above sea level. The property is currently vacant but has had a history of logging and cattle use. Surrounding land uses include rural residential allotments to the north and pastoral paddocks to the south and east.

 Overall, the site was found to be relatively disturbed by historical clearing and rural practices, specifically along the southern and eastern boundaries, and areas of the western portion of the site. Clearing has also occurred for the ne trunk road along the southern property boundary. Reduced maintenance practices have resulted in the occurrence of introduced species along the creek lines, where evidence of feral animals, such as wild dogs, was found.

 Four (4) Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) mapped waterways traverses the site. Three (3) DAF mapped tributaries connect to central waterway; two (2) enter from the north and the third enters from the west. The central waterway is mapped as moderate-risk (amber) waterway for waterway barrier works (WWBW) and the three (3) tributaries are mapped as low-risk (green) (refer Appendix D).

4.3. Flora Survey Results The following flora observations have been made based on detailed field survey:

 The EPBC Act Online Protected Matters Search Tool (PMST) listed three (3) Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs) as likely to occur within the area and within 5 km of the site (refer Section 3.1, Table 2 and Appendix B). No TECs were recorded on or immediately adjacent to the application site.

o The Coastal Swamp Oak (Casuarina glauca) Forest of New South Wales and South East Queensland ecological community occurs in coastal catchments, mostly at elevations of less than 20 m above sea level that are typically found within 30 km of the coast, however, distance can vary by catchment. The canopy layer is dominated by Casuarina glauca (Swamp Oak) and in Queensland is represented by Regional Ecosystem (RE) 12.1.1 or 12.3.20. Neither Casuarina glauca (Swamp Oak) nor RE12.1.1 or 12.3.20 were identified on-site, and therefore the TEC is not present. o The Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia has typically relatively low abundance of species from the genera Eucalyptus, Melaleuca and Casuarina. Buttresses are common as is an abundance and diversity of vines. This community is usually associated with RE 12.3.1, 12.5.13,

9245 Bushman Drive 24

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment

12.8.3, 12.8.4, 12.8.13, 12.11.1, 12.11.10, 12.12.1, and 12.12.16, none of which were recorded on or adjacent to the application site. o The White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland TEC is characterised by a species-rich understorey of native tussock grasses, herbs and scattered shrubs and the dominance of White Box, Yellow Box, or Blakely's Red gum trees. This community is usually associated with RE 11.8.2a, 11.8.8, 11.9.9a, 13.3.1, 13.11.8 and 13.12.9. It can also be a small component of RE11.3.23, 12.8.16, 13.3.4, 13.11.3 and 13.11.4, none of which were recorded on or adjacent to the site.

 The PMST (10) threatened native flora species as possibly occurring within 5 km of the application site. None of these species were recorded on or adjacent to the application site.

 A search of the NCA Wildlife Online database listed one (1) threatened flora species as possibly occurring within the area. Melaleuca irbyana (Swamp Tea-tree) was observed in two locations on-site (refer Section 3.2, Table 3 and Appendix C). A total of three (3) mature plants and three (3) juvenile plants were recorded. These individuals do not comprise the EPBC Act TEC Swamp Tea-Tree (Melaleuca irbyana) Forest of South-east Queensland (refer to Section 4.3.6 for further detail).

 The site contains 3.98 ha of remnant vegetation mapped under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA) at the central area of the site, extending up to the north-western corner. o Remnant vegetation is mapped as Least Concern RE12.9-10.2 described as Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata +/- Eucalyptus crebra open forest on sedimentary rocks. Corymbia citriodora (Spotted Gum), Eucalyptus crebra (Narrow-leaved Ironbark), Eucalyptus moluccana (Gum- topped Box), Eucalyptus tereticornis (Forest Red Gum) and Eucalyptus siderophloia (Grey Ironbark) were found to be dominant within the mapped remnant vegetation during field surveys. o The remaining 39.16 ha is mapped as non-remnant vegetation. o It is noted that the site has been subject to two Property Map of Assessable Vegetation (PMAV) assessments which have been certified by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (NRME) (PMAV 2018/001160; 2018/001148) which provide rectification of mapped RE by on ground field survey (refer Appendix D for a copy of the PMAV maps).

 The site can be broadly separated into three (3) distinct vegetation areas (shown by Plan 44). Within each of these areas there remain sub-areas and ecotonal changes which alter the balance of features based on factors including topography, drainage, aspect, level of ongoing maintenance, nexus to tracks and other weed access points: o Area 1 – Trunk road and area to the south east o Area 2 – Central waterway and tributaries o Area 3 – Balance area

4.3.1 Area 1 – Trunk road and vegetation to south-east A trunk road easement traverses the site along the southern boundary. The 30 m easement corridor has been previously cleared (varying between 35 m and 60 m in width) and contains regularly slashed grass. The area to the south-east of the trunk road easement contains scattered vegetation on either side of the mapped waterway.

This vegetation consists of small patches of established trees dominated by Eucalyptus moluccana (Gum- topped Box) and Eucalyptus tereticornis (Forest Red Gum), with Corymbia tessellaris (Moreton Bay Ash) and Eucalyptus siderophloia (Grey Ironbark) also present.

This area provides limited habitat for fauna species, however, macropods and micro bats were observed visually and recorded during field survey. The area is mapped as Category X (non-remnant) under the VMA.

Photo 1: Trunk road corridor.

9245 Bushman Drive 28

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment

4.3.2 Area 2 – Central waterway and tributaries The central mapped waterway traverses the site, flowing from the north-west to south east. There are two (2) mapped tributaries which enter from the north, and a third mapped tributary which enters from the west. All waterways are mapped by DAF and under the VMA. Field survey confirmed that this mapping is relatively accurate on ground.

Where the central waterway passes through Area 1, the trunk road corridor, in the south-east, the feature has been reduced to a channel with no defined riparian vegetation nor bed and banks (refer Photo 2). Outside of this cleared easement, the central waterway maintains a defined bed and banks and fish habitat features including small pools with semi-permanent water are present (refer Photo 3). The dominant substrate of the waterway is sand and the majority of the waterway bed was dry during the time of survey and grass was present within the waterway bed (refer Photo 4). Adjoining vegetation is dominated by mature Eucalyptus moluccana, (Gum-topped Box) and Eucalyptus tereticornis (Forest Red Gum) with trees of both species retaining DBH of above 40 cm.

The central waterway flows into a mapped tributary which extends across the western boundary of the site. The flow path beyond the railway track was noted to be poorly defined as a road has been historically constructed that passes under the railway line consequently obscuring the natural flow path of the waterway. It is anticipated that during periods of high rainfall, water flows from the surrounding catchment area and onto the site from the north-west into the existing waterway. Both the central waterway and the western tributary contain sections of severe bank erosion, particularly where the waterway meets the railway line in the west and where the western tributary enters the site from the north.

With respect to the northern mapped tributaries, the north-western tributary was confirmed as a narrow channel that does not contain fish habitat features within the site boundaries. The northern section of this north-western features was also noted to have severe weed infestations, specifically of Spagneticola trilobata (Singapore Daisy).

The north-eastern tributary consists of the overland flow path from a constructed dam.

4.3.3 Balance Area The remainder of the site contains non-remnant vegetation and is dominated by regrowth. The north- eastern portion of the site contains vegetation dominated by regrowth Corymbia citriodora (Spotted Gum) with Eucalyptus siderophloia (Grey Ironbark). Moving west, Eucalyptus tereticornis (Forest Red Gum) and Eucalyptus moluccana (Gum-topped Box) becomes increasingly present. These species are reflective of the pre-clear vegetation mapping of composite RE12.9-10.2/12.9-10.7/12.9-10.3/12.9-10.17a (40/30/20/10).

Vegetation situated in the north-eastern extent lacks ground and shrub layer species, and is dominated by invasive species including Lantana camara (Lantana) and Bidens pilosa (Cobbler’s Pegs) where vegetation was existent (refer Photo 5 and Photo 6). Acacia disparrima (Hickory Wattle) was present throughout the site (refer Photo 7).

Overall, the balance area of the site was mostly found to be highly disturbed from previous land uses, providing little in the form of recognisable and functional noteworthy habitat for native fauna. Minimal ground and shrub layers across the site presents limited shelter for reptiles, small mammals and birds. Consequently, fauna observed on-site during field surveys was relatively low in diversity.

4.3.4 Threatened Flora For the purposes of this report, a significant flora species has been defined as a species that is scheduled as Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act.

As discussed, three (3) TECs and ten (10) flora species listed as threatened under the EPBC Act were identified as potentially occurring on-site or within the surrounding area (refer Table 2). No TECs or threatened flora species under the EPBC Act were recorded on site nor considered likely to occur.

One (1) threatened flora species listed as endangered under the Queensland NCA, Melaleuca irbyana (Swamp Tea-tree), was identified as potentially occurring on-site or in the vicinity (refer Error! Reference source not found.). Targeted flora searches recorded a total of six (6) M. irbyana within the site (refer 3, Photos 9 & 10). Two (2) mature plants were located on the southern side of the central waterway and one (1) mature plant and three (3) immature plants were located on the western banks of central waterway at the location where the tributary enters from the north.

These individuals do not comprise the EPBC Act TEC Swamp Tea-Tree (Melaleuca irbyana) Forest of South- east Queensland which is characterised by Melaleuca irbyana thickets underneath an open canopy of eucalypt trees and sparse understory comprised of grasses, sedges and herbs with few shrubs and vines. The TEC grows in poorly drained clay soils which often become waterlogged. The Atlas of Australia soils maps the site as containing Chromosols and Kurosols. Further, this TEC is usually associated with RE12.9- 10.11 and 12.3.3c, neither of which were recorded on or adjacent to the site.

A protected plants permit will be required from the Queensland Department of Environment and Science for clearing of or works within 100 m of M. irbyana. This permit is currently being sought. Clearing cannot commence until this permit is obtained.

4.3.5 Native Flora A total of seventy-five (75) flora species were identified across the investigation area, of which forty-nine (49) are native flora species and twenty-six (26) are introduced or weed species (refer Table 6 and Table 7, respectively).

As discussed in Section34, only one (1) threatened flora species, M. irbyana, listed as endangered under the NCA was recorded on site. No other threatened flora species were recorded nor are they considered likely to occur. Native flora is consistent with mapped remnant and pre-clear vegetation communities.

4.4. Fauna Assessment A detailed fauna assessment was conducted across the site to identify and describe on-ground habitat features (e.g. habitat trees, fallen logs, termite mounts, roosting sites etc.), signs of fauna activity (e.g. scats, tracks, scratch marks on trees, nests etc.) and observations of species present within the area. Motion sensor cameras were installed across the site from 14 to 21 June 2018, and spotlighting efforts were completed on 20 June 2018 targeting diurnal species including micro bats (refer Error! Reference source not found. for survey locations). Consideration was also given to the ecological significance of the site in the context of the local area and the broader region. No specific surveys for reptiles (e.g. pitfall traps) were undertaken during field surveys.

The following observations have been made based on field survey:

 The PMST identified twenty-four (24) listed threatened fauna species as potentially occurring on the site. A likelihood of occurrence analyses ruled out the majority of these species as potentially occurring due to an absence of specific habitat features (e.g. wetlands, rocky outcrops and rainforest, swamp, coastal environments) (refer Appendix E). Only two (2) threatened fauna species have potential to occur on site: Phascolarctos cinereus (Koala), Pteropus poliocephalus (Grey-headed Flying-fox). o Despite targeted searches, no EPBC Act listed fauna species were recorded on the site.

 The Brisbane to Sydney railway line bounds the site to the west. Earthworks associated with the construction of this rail corridor has subsequently resulted in cut outs and small cliffs hindering fauna movement to and from the site. Fauna movement appears restricted the north of the site where the track is level with the existing ground. The northern extent, however, is surrounded by existing rural residential allotments. The vegetation in these lots can generally be described as consisting of scattered canopy trees with maintained grass lawns. The majority of the lots contain dogs.

 Forty (40) fauna species were observed on-site or as fly over species (refer Table 8) including twenty-four (24) birds and sixteen (16) mammals. A number of these animals were not directly observed, and instead were identified through motion camera data or audio recordings (e.g. fly- over bats).

 Four (4) camera traps were set during the survey, baited with beef brisket bone. The cameras were set for a total of eight (8) days, from 14 June to 21 June 2018. A variety of fauna were detected using the camera traps, determined in Table 8, including Canis lupus familiaris (Wild Dog) and Tachyglossidae (Echidna) (refer Photo 11, Photo 12, Photo 13 and Photo 14 for motion sensor camera photos).

 Overall, the project area is considered highly modified having been subject to historical clearing and contemporary land use. Consequently, significant habitat features such as fallen logs and dense leaf litter, which are preferred habitat for native fauna, are largely absent from the majority of the site.

4.5. Threatened Fauna Species A number of threatened fauna species were identified as having the potential to occur within the area surrounding the site under the EPBC Act and NCA (refer Table 2 and Table 3). Likelihood of Occurrence analyses were undertaken to assess site characteristics for suitable habitat for listed threatened species (refer Appendix E).

No fauna species listed as threated under the EPBC Act nor NCA were observed on-site. Due to surrounding development, roads and highly modified vegetation values the site contains low fauna habitat values. Further, the site does not contain significant features (e.g. rock outcrops, wetlands etc.) that provide specific habitat requirements for listed species.

Phascolarctos cinereus (Koala) and Pteropus poliocephalus (Grey Headed Flying Fox) are the only two (2) threatened species considered to have potential to occur based on desktop assessment of vegetation characteristics and known occurrence in the area. These species were targeted as part of this survey effort.

4.5.1 Koala In accordance with the EPBC Act Referral Guidelines for the Vulnerable Koala, the Spot Assessment Technique (SAT) was applied in to search the site for the potential presence of the Koala. The Spot Assessment Technique (SAT) method is an assessment of Koala activity involving a search for any Koalas and signs of Koala usage. The SAT involves identifying a focal tree where a Koala or scats are found. The next closest habitat tree to the first tree is then assessed and so on until the 30 closest trees to the original focal tree have been recorded. The number of trees showing evidence of koalas is expressed as a percentage of the total number of trees sampled to indicate the frequency of koala usage. Assessment of each tree involves a systematic search for koala scats beneath the tree within a 1 m radius of the trunk. After approximately 2-minutes of searching for scats, the base of the trunk is observed for scratches and the crown for potential koala presence.

A Koala scat meander is a method used to identify a Koala habitat focal tree for use in a SAT survey. Each scat meander consists of searching for Koala scats under tree species likely to be utilised by Koalas. A search for Koala scats at the base of the tree is undertaken and where none are found the trunk is observed for scratches and the crown of the tree for potential Koalas present. If no scats, indicators of presence/utilisation or Koalas are observed, another nearby tree is chosen and the search is repeated. The process continues until a scat, indicator or Koala is found or 30-minutes has expired.

Surveys of Koala utilisation of the site were conducted across the subject site to determine the likelihood of occurrence throughout the entire extent, and identify whether there was any concentrated occurrence. Three (3) Koala scat meanders were conducted (refer Plan 3). Table 11 presents the Koala usage scores for the three SAT surveys completed (refer Appendix F for full data sets).

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment

Table 9: Summary of SAT Results SAT Site Number Evidence of Koala Use (%) Koala Use (High/Medium/Low)

1 20.00 Low

2 6.67 Low

3 6.67 Low

The Australian Koala Foundation koala activity level classification table (following Philips and Callaghan 2011) provides an estimate of koala utilisation based on defined Activity Categories. The East Coast (med- high) Activity Category is appropriate for the site. The evidence suggests that while the site is utilised by Koalas, it is considered relatively poor habitat for the species. The relatively low levels of koala usage at the site may be a result of major changes in the immediate landscape including the extension main roads and recent high density residential development.

Opportunistic searches for Koalas were also undertaken as part of the field survey effort. No Koalas were observed on the site.

4.5.2 Grey-headed Flying Fox Pteropus poliocephalus (Grey-headed Flying Fox) requires foraging resources and roosting sites to persist. The species is known to use a wide variety of habitats including subtropical and temperate rainforests, tall sclerophyll forest and woodlands, heaths, swamps and also urban and agricultural areas where food trees have been cultivated.

The species is highly adaptive with its diverse native diet, which it can supplement with introduced species. It is known to forage within a variety of habitat areas as each resource does not produce food throughout the entire year. The closest active roosts to the subject site are located at Undullah (Flagstone) (Site 464, 3.7 km NE), Cedar Grove (Site 148, 5.1 km ESE) and Cedar Vale (Site 376, 9 km SE). Opportunistic and targeted surveys did not locate roosting sites in the application area or within the immediate vicinity of the site. No Grey-headed Flying Fox individuals were recorded during field surveys.

It is noted that foraging habitat for the Grey-headed Flying-fox is analogous with habitat for the Koala.

4.5.3 Migratory Birds While the central waterway may provide some suitable attributes for selected migratory species this limited available habitat is not considered to represent an important area for these migratory birds. This is primarily because the site does not contain marine and riparian systems such as shorelines, mudflats, mangroves and sandflats. No migratory species were recorded as part of contemporary surveys. No nests were located on site.

4.6. Connectivity for Wildlife Movement  An aerial examination of the property and adjoining properties indicates there is limited opportunity for Koalas to utilise the area as part of a habitat or movement corridor. Land to the south has been cleared of canopy vegetation and reflects maintained paddocks. Additionally, the road reserve along the southern and eastern boundary of the referral extent has been cleared further isolating vegetation on the site.

 To the west the site is bounded by Sydney-Brisbane Railway, which creates a sever impediment for fauna movement due to lack of connecting canopy vegetation to the site and heightened threat of collision as well as noise, light and air disturbances.

 To the north, existing rural residential properties impede current connectivity. Any opportunities for stepping stone connectivity north is considered unlikely due to intensification of urban uses further north.

 Due to isolation of the site with urban development to the north and roads / railway to the west, south and east, the central waterway corridor, which provides the highest value habitat for Koala on site, is considered an undesirable pocket of low quality habitat and transient individuals are considered unlikely.

 Importantly, the site does not contain, nor does it adjoin, areas zoned for Environmental Protection or mapped as Biodiversity Corridors under the Development Scheme. Biodiversity connectivity is considered, in its current and future form, limited due to the site being bounded by Brisbane– Sydney Railway and future railway station to the west, existing residential development to the north and proposed sub-arterial and regional roads to the east and south respectively (refer Section 1.1 Plan 1 and Plan 2).

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment 5. Conclusion This MNES Ecological Technical Assessment was prepared by Saunders Havill Group (SHG) on behalf of Pacific International Corporation Pty Ltd (PACIFIQ) to support a referral under the Commonwealth Government’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The purpose of this report is to identify potential Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES), specifically listed threatened species that may be impacted by the proposed urban development (‘the action’) of land located at Lot 24 Bushman Drive and 69 Wyatt Road, Jimboomba (‘the site’).

The following conclusions can be made based on ecological assessment:

 The site is typical of former pastoral properties in the area, having been historically cleared and containing predominately regrowth vegetation with dense infestations of weeds, particularly along drainage features. The easement along the southern boundary remains cleared and is regularly maintained.

 A search using the PMST for MNES under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), identified the potential for three (3) TECs, ten (10) threatened flora species ad twenty-four (24) threatened fauna species to occur on site. o Field surveys did not record the presence of any EPBC Act listed species. o No migratory birds were recorded on site nor as fly overs. o No TECs nor threatened flora species were recorded or considered likely to occur on site. . While six (6) Melaleuca irbyana specimens were recorded within the central waterway corridor, these individuals do not comprise the EPBC Act TEC Swamp Tea-Tree (Melaleuca irbyana) Forest of South-east Queensland which is characterised by Melaleuca irbyana thickets underneath an open canopy of eucalypt trees and sparse understory comprised of grasses, sedges and herbs with few shrubs and vines. The TEC grows in poorly drained clay soils which often become waterlogged. The Atlas of Australia soils maps the site as containing Chromosols and Kurosols. Further, this TEC is usually associated with RE12.9-10.11 and 12.3.3c, neither of which were recorded on or adjacent to the site. o No listed fauna species were recorded on site despite targeted searching using SAT, ultrasonic bat detection, infrared camera traps, spotlighting and general observations. . Of the listed fauna species, only evidence of Koala utilisation was recorded in the form of scats. Koala SAT surveys undertaken over the site indicated a “low” overall usage of this site, suggesting that whilst the site is utilised by Koalas it is relatively poor habitat for the species. . The site is also considered to contain suitable habitat for Koala and potential foraging habitat for Grey-headed Flying-fox; two listed species known to occur in the area. However, given significant disturbance of the site and surrounding

9245 Bushman Drive 48

■ MNES Ecological Technical Assessment

threats (e.g. rail, road and dogs), the quality of habitat on the site is considered low in context to the broader area.

 A Wildlife Online search for threatened species under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA) identified the potential for one (1) threatened fauna species, the Koala, and one (1) threatened flora species, Melaleuca irbyana to occur. o Six (6) Melaleuca irbyana specimens were recorded within the central waterway corridor A protected plants permit will be required from the Queensland Department of Environment and Science for clearing of or works within 100 m of M. irbyana. This permit is currently being sought. Clearing cannot commence until this permit is obtained.

 The site is predominately mapped as containing Category X (non-remnant) vegetation with a small central polygon of Least Concern RE12.9-10.2 This mapping has been certified by NRME through a PMAV (PMAV 2018/001160; 2018/001148).

 The site is mapped as containing one (1) moderate (amber) and three (3) low (green) risk waterways for waterway barrier works (WWBW) under the Fisheries Act 1994. With the exception of the north- eastern feature which was identified as a flow path to a dam, mapped waterways were relatively accurate on ground although only the central waterway was considered likely to support fish passage in high flow events. All works are to be undertaken in accordance with the Accepted Development Requirements or will require a permit for WWBW from the Queensland Government.

 Although the central waterway was noted to be disturbed and in parts devoid of riparian vegetation, it did contain some areas with evident bed and banks heavily infested with weeds, and the feature forms a potential ecological corridor through the development through its retention and will help facilitate east-west biodiversity connectivity.

 The project area contains a diverse array of flora species typically found within a pastoral landscape. A total of seventy-five (75) flora species were recorded within the application area. Of these species forty-nine (49) were native and twenty-six (26) were introduced or planted species typical of rural residential land uses. Five (5) species are listed as restricted plants under the Biosecurity Act 2014 and will require specific levels of management.

 Fauna recorded across the site included common mammals, small reptiles and avifauna, which are likely to utilise the application area as part of a much broader home range. These species are considered common to the area and are typically encountered throughout urban areas within the Greater Flagstone PDA

 A number of pest mammals were also recorded including wild dogs, dingos and red foxes which pose significant threat to arboreal fauna, including Koalas.

 The site’s ability to support listed threatened fauna species, which are generally highly sensitive, specialised and require particular habitat features, is highly unlikely for the majority of the listed EPBC Act or NCA protected species.  The assessment of the sites habitat values resulted in the vast majority of these listed species as having no suitable habitat on site as they are generally associated with less disturbed

environments, topography the contains greater areas of rocky outcrops suitable for dens or vegetation communities dominated by rainforest species.

Overall, the site is considered to be disturbed as a result of historical clearing and land uses. No significant biodiversity values were recorded on or adjacent to the project area. Ecological values associated with the site are considered to be limited to the central and north-western waterway features. Although it is noted that these features, in parts, are highly degraded and devoid of riparian vegetation and defined bed and banks and dense weed infestations were recorded throughout. Rehabilitation of these areas is considered to provide greatest potential to retain limited existing ecological values and strengthen connectivity for wildlife movement, including in the unlikely event of a transient Koala visiting the site.

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.
