1. Introduction This report provides a description of the ecological values found within Lot 440 SP277894 (to the extent which it is bound to the west by PL265 tenure boundary) 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. Field surveys were conducted by Anjeanette Schimpf, Senior Environmental Approvals and Ecology Specialist, Origin Energy and this report has been compiled by same. Anjeanette Schimpf is approved to undertake ecological surveys by the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy (formerly the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities) in writing on 13 September 2012.

1.1. Scope of Works An ecological survey was required to be carried out on Lot 440 SP277894 in anticipation of proposed development of the Site. The extent of the Survey Area is defined in Table 1 below. Refer to Appendix A: Site Location and Survey Points for an overview of the Site and Survey Area.

Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (the Ramsar Convention) was signed in Ramsar, Iran on 2 February 1971. The Ramsar Convention aims to halt the worldwide loss of wetlands and to conserve, through wise use and management, those that remain. The Convention encourages member countries to nominate sites containing representative, rare or unique wetlands, or that are important for conserving biological diversity, to the List of Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar sites).

Survey Area The area encompassed by the cadastral boundaries of Lot 440 SP277894, to the extent which it is bound to the west by the boundary of tenure PL265, as well as the adjacent water reserves.

The Site The area encompassed by the cadastral boundaries of Lot 440 SP277894, to the extent which it is bound to the west by the boundary of tenure PL265, as well as the adjacent water reserves.

2. Site Context

Table 5: Site Context

Bioregion The Site is located across two (2) provinces, these being the Eastern Darling Downs Province (sub-region 11.31) and the Southern Downs Province (sub-region 11.26) within the Brigalow Belt south bioregion. The Eastern Darling Downs Province comprises spurs and foothills of Main Range along the eastern boundary of the bioregion, low hills in the south and the Condamine River plain in the central and western parts. Substrates include Tertiary basalt in the extreme east, Jurassic sediments in the south-east, Triassic-Jurassic sediments in the north-east and alluvial soils of varying age along the Condamine River plain. The basalt vegetation communities are predominantly woodlands of Eucalyptus crebra (narrow-leaved ironbark), E. melliodora (yellow box), E. tereticornis (forest red gum), E. albens (white box) or E. orgadophila (mountain coolibah). The sandstone hills support E. crebra woodland with E. moluccana/microcarpa (gum- topped box) and E. populnea (poplar box) woodland on lower slopes and valleys. There are also some areas of semi-evergreen vine thicket/araucarian microphyll rainforest, particularly in the south-east, and Acacia harpophylla (brigalow) open forest and vine thicket in the north-east. Prior to clearing, the heavy cracking clays and black earths of the Condamine River plain supported Dichanthium sericeum (bluegrass) grassland and grassy woodlands of E. populnea, with E. tereticornis-camaldulensis (forest red gum-river red gum) and Angophora floribunda (rough-barked apple) adjacent to drainage lines. In the eastern part of the Condamine River plain, the black earths appear to have supported a grassy woodland of E. tereticornis, A. floribunda rather than the Dichanthium grasslands and E. populnea woodlands of the central and western parts (Sattler and Williams 1999). The Southern Downs Province is based on the Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments that outcrop around the rim of the Great Artesian Basin. These are predominantly fine- grained, forming a low, hilly landscape including the water shed formed by the Great Dividing Range. In the southern part of the province there are extensive Late Cainozoic flood-outs/clay plains, while minor areas of Tertiary volcanics are scattered throughout the province. Vegetation associations include Casuarina cristata, Acacia harpophylla, Eucalyptus populnea, and E. crebra communities and less extensively Corymbia citriodora, E. fibrosa subsp. nubila, semi-evergreen vine thicket, Astrebla and Acacia communities (Sattler and Williams, 1999).

Current land use The Site is predominantly cleared and currently utilised for cropping and grazing purposes. Narrow corridors of riparian vegetation have been retained along the Condamine River and associated drainage gullies, which bound the site along the eastern boundary. In several locations across the site, damming of natural floodplains and wetlands has occurred resulting in areas of standing water which is currently utilised for cropping and irrigation purposes.

Soils and geology The landform over the majority of the site comprises river terraces, channels and associated alluvial plains which are subject to periodic flooding. Soil types in this landform include skeletal soils (mainly rudosols), deep alluvial sands and cracking clays. Locally on the Site, black and grey cracking clays and bleached sands over brown or black clays were noted to occur. Within the southern extent of the site, gently undulating plains to rises are present. Soils within this landform comprise bleached loams or sands over brown, black or red mottled, yellowish-brown clays. Texture contrast soils are present (predominantly chromosols/sodosols and kurosols with a shallow, mainly loamy surface which can be acidic or alkaline.

Climate The nearest weather station to the Site is located at the Miles Post Office (Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) station ID 042023) located approximately 20km to the north of the Site. The Miles Post Office has a mean annual rainfall of 647 mm, with most rain falling

between December and February, with August being the driest month. The average annual maximum temperature at Miles is 27.1oC (BoM, 2018).

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. 2005)  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 between the 7th and 8th June 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. (2012). 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 sixteen formal vegetation community surveys were undertaken within the Site. Ground-truthing of the RE designation (DNRM 2015) at and surrounding the Site was undertaken via quaternary level and random meander transect assessments, as defined by Neldner et al. (2012). 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 the Trimble unit or camera. Photo aspect data was recorded. Vegetation community polygons were verified in accordance with Queensland regional ecosystem (biodiversity status) (DNRM 2014) and EPBC threatened ecological community (TEC) criteria (DoTE 2015a).

3.2.2. Habitat Surveys Habitat surveys were undertaken in conjunction with vegetation community surveys within the 50m x 10m quadrant. A total of six (6) 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. Where captured, 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 EPBC Act 1999 and the Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation 2006. Targeted threat-listed flora and fauna 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. Other 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.

3.2.4. Exotic Flora and Fauna Survey Presence and abundance of flora and 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 flora and fauna species were entered into the Trimble data capture system when encountered.

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 and Wetland Survey All mapped ordered streams 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, pfresence/absence of flow, riparian vegetation, hydrophytes and aquatic habitat. The extent of streams assessed as watercourses was mapped using imagery and/or a GPS-derived track log. All mapped High Ecological Significance (HES) and General Ecological Significance (GES) wetlands 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 the winter season. Additional survey effort would be required to provide a more comprehensive inventory of species, both threatened and common.

Fish The Murray cod is considered a main channel specialist. Yes – the Condamine Likely – suitable habitat for The species is frequently found in the main channel of the River is present along this species occurs within the stream, and its larger tributaries during spring flooding. It the eastern boundary of Condamine River is also found in floodplain channels when they contain the Site water (i.e. during spring flooding), although the species use of habitats in such waterways appears limited. Juveniles less than one year old have been found in main river channels where it appears they settle at a late larval (newly born) stage (National Murray Cod Recovery Team Maccullochella peelii Vulnerable 2010). (Murray cod) The species is described as demersal (inhabits at or close to the bed of the waterbody) (Koehn 2009b cited in Koehn & Nicol 2014). It is usually found near complex structural cover such as large rocks, snags (pieces of large submerged woody debris), overhanging stream banks and vegetation, tree stumps, logs, branches and other woody structures. The Murray cod relies primarily on snags as shelter from fast-flowing water (Koehn 1997) and as predatory ambush points for foraging.

Conclusions This report provides a description of the ecological values found within Lot 440 SP277894 (to the extent which it is bound to the west by PL265 tenure boundary) 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. Field surveys were conducted by Anjeanette Schimpf, Senior Environmental Approvals and Ecology Specialist, Origin Energy and this report has been compiled by same. Field surveys were undertaken between the 7th and 8th June 2018. The following is a summary of the ecological values recorded at the site as a result of the field surveys:  One EPBC Act listed threatened ecological community was recorded during the field survey at the Site, this being Coolibah - Black Box Woodlands of the Darling Riverine Plains and the Brigalow Belt South Bioregions. It should be noted that this TEC was declared on 1st March 2011, after EPBC Act approval for the Australia Pacific LNG Project was received on 21st February, 2011. As such, the Coolibah-Black Box Woodland TEC does not constitute a constraint to the Project  No EPBC Act listed threatened flora were recorded during the field survey and no threatened flora species returned from the desktop searches were considered likely to occur at the site based on site characteristics  No EPBC Act listed threatened fauna species were recorded as a result of the field surveys however, ten fauna species returned from the desktop searches are considered likely to occur at the site based on site characteristics  No EPBC Act listed migratory fauna species were recorded as a result of the field surveys however, three migratory fauna species returned from the desktop searches are considered likely to occur at the site based on site characteristics  Nine (9) EPBC Act listed marine fauna species were recorded as a result of the field surveys  DNRM mapping identified five (5) REs to be present on site, these being REs 11.3.2, 11.5.1, 11.3.3, 11.3.4 and 11.3.25. This was ground truthed as predominantly correct with REs 11.3.2, 11.3.3, 11.3.4 and 11.3.25 being recorded at the site. All of these RE types have a biodiversity conservation status of ‘Of Concern’  No NC Act listed fauna species were recorded during the field survey at the site  No NC Act listed flora species were recorded during the field survey at the site  No listed Special Least Concern flora or fauna species were detected during the field survey  Two species of prohibited and/or Restricted Matter flora encountered during the field survey  No pest fauna species were encountered during the field survey  Eight (8) mapped stream orders were confirmed to constitute drainage features in accordance with the Water Act 2000. One (1) mapped stream order, the Condamine River, was confirmed to constitute a watercourse for the purpose of the Water Act 2000  Three (3) mapped High Ecological Significance (HES) wetlands were inspected as part of the field surveys. All three (3) of these wetland features were confirmed to meet the definition of ‘wetland’ as provided in the Condabri Environmental Authority  Five (5) mapped General Ecological Significance (GES) wetlands were inspected as part of the field surveys. All five (5) of these wetland features were confirmed to meet the definition of ‘wetland’ as provided in the Condabri Environmental Authority. It is recommended that the findings in this report are considered during detailed development planning such that disturbance to the ecological values of the site and locality may be avoided wherever practical. Where disturbance is unavoidable, impact mitigation measures are to be implemented in accordance with the approved site environmental management plan and regulatory approval conditions.

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.
