EPBC Act Vulnerable NC Act Conservation Status Endangered Known Distribution The Five-clawed Worm-skink’s distribution covers areas in north-eastern NSW and south-eastern Queensland (Greer and Cogger 1985). In Queensland, the species occurs in the Condamine River Catchment from Warwick in the south to the Jimbour region in the north (DoE 2011, DoE 2008). However, expert analysis shows the species distribution may extend further north past Chinchilla and Durong (ALA 2015) and west past Condamine. The Five-clawed Worm- distribution and available records in relation to the Anya project area are shown in Figure 1. Occurrence within Anya block QGC has not identified the Five-clawed Worm-skink within its existing gas fields in the Surat Basin to date. There are currently no records of the species from within the Anya block; all available records are further east or south. The closest available Five-clawed Worm-Skink record to the Anya project area is from Dalby, approximately 25km east (ALA 2015 and DoE 2008) and a wildlife online search indicates the species has not been recorded within Braemar State Forest (DEHP 2015). However, mapping indicates the species distribution may extend over the Anya project area (ALA 2015, DoE 2015). Although, records indicate that the species distribution may be contracting eastward (Cogger et al 1993), reducing the likelihood of the species occurring in the Anya block. Field surveys undertaken by RPS in 2014 have confirmed that the land zone (LZ) in Anya is predominately LZ 5 (old loamy and sandy plains) and LZ 7 (ironstone jump-ups). These Land zones are unlikely to provide suitable habitat for the Five-clawed Worm-skink due to the lack of preferred soil types, refer to ‘preferred habitat and microhabitat’ below. However, there are two areas of LZ 3, specifically 11.3.14 associated with low order streams and alluvial plains in the Anya area. While this RE may not constitute suitable habitat for the species (DoE 2011) the LZ may contain suitable soil conditions. This is the only LZ in Anya that may potentially provide suitable habitat for the species and these areas are approximately 60.5ha in total and comprise approximately 5% of the Anya project area, as shown in Figure 2. Description and Relevant Characteristics The Five-clawed Worm-skink is a medium sized, burrowing skink to 27cm in length with greatly reduced

limbs. It has three toes on its front limbs and two toes on its hind limbs, which distinguishes it from all other Anomalopus species (Greer & Cogger 1985). It is described as greyish-brown to brown on the upper body with dark spots in longitudinal rows that can give the appearance of stripes along the length of its body (DoE 2015, QMDC 2008). This is particularly evident for individuals in the north of its range (Greer & Cogger 1985). It is paler yellow-green on the underside with dark flecking (DoE 2015). Biology and Reproduction Very little is known about the species biology and reproduction. It is believed to be an egg-layer, laying 1 to 3 eggs per clutch, though evidence of this is very limited (DEHP 2014 and DoE 2015). The diet appears to consist of arthropods but no specifics are known (DEHP 2014). Preferred Habitat and Microhabitat The Five-clawed Worm-skink occurs in remnant and non-remnant native grasslands to open woodlands that are supported by deep cracking clay soils or alluvial plains (DoE 2015). It is unlikely that they occur in sandy soils (DoE 2015). As they are a burrowing species the soil type and characteristics are an important factor that determines their preferred habitat types. In Queensland the species soil requirements are likely to align with LZ 3, 4 and 9. Grass and tussock cover may also be an important factor (QMDC 2008). The Five-clawed Worm-skink lives in permanent burrows and deep cracks in the soil (DoE 2008). It also uses fallen debris, such as large logs, as shelter and these features are important microhabitat features to support the species (Richardson 2008, Sadlier & Pressey 1994). A list of QLD REs that may provide habitat for the species is not available. Therefore areas that meet the land zone (soil type) and microhabitat requirements for the species will be considered for further investigation during surveys. According to DoE (2015), the species occurs in communities that may correspond to EPBC Act listed: • Natural Grasslands on Basalt and Fine-textured Alluvial Plains of Northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland ecological community • Coolibah - Black Box Woodlands of the Darling Riverine Plains and the Brigalow Belt South Bioregions • White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland and Derived Native Grassland ecological community • Weeping Myall Woodlands ecological community • Brigalow (Acacia harpophylla dominant and co-dominant) ecological community The following Regional Ecosystems may align with the above TECs and the soil requirements of the species: 11.3.1, 11.3.2, 11.3.3, 11.3.15, 11.3.16, 11.3.21, 11.3.28, 11.3.37, 11.4.3, 11.4.7, 11.4.8, 11.4.9, 11.4.10, 11.8.2a, 11.8.8, 11.9.1, 11.9.5, 11.9.6, 11.9.9a. This does not represent a definitive list of REs that may support the species. However, the Draft Referral guidelines for the nationally listed Brigalow Belt (DoE 2011) lists suitable habitat for the species as only Queensland Regional Ecosystems 11.3.21, 11.3.25, 11.8.5, 11.8.15, 13.3.3, 13.3.4 and associated non-remnants. General Threats The Five-clawed Worm-skink is at threat from habitat destruction and fragmentation from land clearing, which has been particularly severe within the species range (DoE 2015). Specimens have been found in cleared agricultural areas and roadsides, thought to be supported by the soil structure, grass cover and artificial shelter sites (DoE 2015, QMDC 2008, Richardson 2008). Impacts to the soil structure are thought to be particularly threatening for this species as it reduces habitat availability (Sadlier & Pressey 1994), this can include: • The compaction of soil by stock • The use of agricultural chemicals that pollute or degrade the soil • The removal of micro habitat features, such as logs and ground litter, as this dries out the soil • Introduced weeds, particularly Lippia (Phyla canescens), as they can affect soil structure (QMDC 2008)

Other threats include: • Reduced shelter availability from the removal of wood debris and other microhabitat features (Sadlier & Pressey 1994) • Predation by feral such as Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and Feral Cats (Felis catus). Potential Project Threats The Anya project may pose threats to the Five-clawed Worm-skink if it or its habitat is present. Habitat clearing is considered to be the highest and most direct risk as this leads to loss of habitat. Threats to the species will differ across the various stages of the project, potential project threats include: Development • Clearing resulting in the loss of habitat; • Soil degradation from clearing, use of heavy vehicles and machinery; • Reduced shelter availability and soil degradation from removal of microhabitat features; • Clearing activities causing injury or mortality; • Vehicle traffic resulting in injury or mortality; • Increased access to habitat by feral predators; • Increased likelihood of trampling by livestock due to increased access to habitat; • Creation of barriers to movement; • Trenches and other excavations acting as traps resulting in injury or mortality; • Provision of shelter resources (open pipes and under stored equipment/building materials) resulting in subsequent mortality; and • Increased likelihood of weed invasion leading to degradation of habitat. Operation • Vehicle traffic resulting in injury or mortality; • Increased likelihood of weed invasion from disturbed areas leading to degradation of habitat; • Increased predation due to increased access to habitat by feral species; and • Increased predation by fauna that may benefit from the disturbance. Decommissioning • Vehicle traffic resulting in mortality; • Increased likelihood of weed invasion from disturbed areas leading to degradation of habitat; and • Altered fire regimes. Management Strategies As the Five-clawed Worm-skink has not been identified as occurring in the Anya project area, the primary management strategy is to focus on the identification, avoidance and protection of individuals, populations, habitat and breeding areas. Planning and placement of infrastructure During the planning phase proposed infrastructure locations will be placed following QGCs Constraints Planning and Field Development Protocol (The Protocol). The primary aim of the protocol is to avoid placing infrastructure within areas of significant environmental value, including MNES, by ranking constraints as Low, Moderate, High, Very High or No Go according to infrastructure type. In accordance with the Protocol, MNES, including the Five-clawed Worm-skink are designated as either ‘very high’ or ‘no go’ constraints in the mapping depending on infrastructure type (e.g. static or linear). Buffers are applied to these areas for linear and static infrastructure and these buffers are assigned the same constraint ranking as the MNES. Where the constraint is ‘no go’, QGC will not conduct activities in the area containing MNES unless: • ground truthing and field ecological surveys demonstrate that siting infrastructure in that location will cause minimal adverse impact on MNES or ESAs, including habitat for listed species and/or MNES/habitat is recoverable; • it would be within disturbance limits; and • other constraints preclude any alternative location; or

• QGC obtains the relevant permits and/or approvals for the activity to commence e.g. EA Amendments or Clearing Permits.

Where the constraint is ‘very high’ QGC will seek alternative locations for proposed infrastructure in that location. Very high is generally assigned to environmental constraints when planning for linear infrastructure as it is not always possible to avoid these constraints. For the Five-clawed Worm-skink, potential habitat areas will be ranked as No Go for static infrastructure (i.e. wells) and Very High for Linear (Access tracks and gathering lines). Potential habitat is only present linearly along watercourses and is considered more readily avoidable. Disturbance to this area will be avoided as far as possible and any anticipated disturbance is thought to only involve crossing of the area by linear infrastructure in order to access the site and allow gas and water flow. Alternative locations may be recommended by QGC’s environment advisers based on analysis of environmental constraints, or the DoE approved ecologist conducting pre-clearance surveys in the field. The internal approval process for determining the final location of infrastructure is described in Section 3.0 of the Protocol. This requires all proposed infrastructure locations to be approved by various disciplines within QGC. Pegging Party Surveys All proposed infrastructure locations will be surveyed by a multi-functional group to determine the best location for each piece of infrastructure that takes into account all validated constraints (referred to as a pegging party). An ecological survey by a DoE approved ecologist forms part of the pegging party. The Five-clawed Worm-skink is unlikely to be identified in the field during pegging parties due to its cryptic nature. However, during these surveys ecologists will assess the area in terms of habitat suitability and quality for the species by identifying and recording key habitat and microhabitat features. This will indicate if a targeted fauna survey should be undertaken for the species. Within areas of potential habitat the following attributes will be recorded: • Soil type • Grass and tussock cover • The presence of fallen woody material o large fallen trees o numerous logs and branches o scattered logs and branches o bulldozed windrows (stick-raked) • RE Type Initial locations of infrastructure determined during the pegging party will avoid habitat and micro-habitat as far as possible. Targeted surveys If the pegging party determines that there is potential for Five-clawed Worm-skink habitat to occur within proposed disturbance areas, targeted surveys will be undertaken in order to confirm the presence/absence of species. These surveys will be undertaken prior to final internal approval of proposed infrastructure locations. Where appropriate and practicable, and in accordance with the Draft EPBC referral guidelines for the nationally listed Brigalow Belt reptiles (2011) and the EPBC Survey guidelines for Australia’s threatened reptiles (DoE 2011), the targeted surveys may be undertaken during summer. The potential survey methods for the species (in accordance with the relevant guidelines) are summarised below. These survey methodologies will be implemented where appropriate and practicable: • Diurnal searches under sheltering sites (rocks, logs or other large objects on the ground) will be employed. Surveys will be undertaken over a minimum of 3 days and over a minimum of 1.5 person hours per hectare for habitats of average complexity; • Spotlighting, targeting water-inundated gilgais, soil cracks, riparian habitats between dusk and the early morning hours. Spotlighting will be undertaken over a minimum of 3 nights and over a minimum of 1.5 person hours per hectare for habitats of average complexity; and • Placement of pitfall traps (10 litre buckets) spread along a 15m fence and checked every morning and evening over four days and/or the placement of artificial structures in the area that are checked

underneath regularly. Realignment of infrastructure Where the species or its habitat has been confirmed, the proposed infrastructure locations will be reconsidered. Where possible infrastructure will be pegged in areas with no or low habitat quality and proposed impacts reduced as far as possible. Should the species or its habitat be identified, and impacts confirmed, the mitigation strategies outlined in the following section will be implemented. Mitigation Measures Where the species or its habitat is known or has potential to occur and impacts are unavoidable, mitigation measures will be implemented to minimise the project impacts on the species. For the Five-clawed Worm- skink this includes: Clearing • Pre-clearance surveys to be undertaken by suitably qualified, experienced and licenced fauna spotter catcher(s) (FSC) prior to any clearing activities being undertaken. FSCs shall subject areas of potential habitat to disturbance prior to clearing to encourage the natural relocation of resident reptiles; • Prior to clearing, limits of clearing delineating actual Five-clawed Worm-skink habitat identified during pre-clearance surveys will be clearly marked out with appropriate flagging material and/or barricade webbing as determined by the site Environment Representative. • If the species is found prior to or during clearing activities, it will be relocated from the clearing area to a suitable location by a licenced FSC. Appropriate permits for fauna relocation must be held by the FSC. Any injured fauna will be transported to a veterinarian or recognised wildlife carer immediately for treatment; • Where possible, clearing areas should be reduced to avoid specific high risk micro-habitat areas identified by FSCs; • Clearing will be carried out in a sequential manner and in a way that directs escaping wildlife away from clearing and into adjacent native vegetation or natural areas (i.e. surrounding State Forest areas); • Habitat features including suitable cleared trees, logs or other shelter sites will be stockpiled separately (not mulched) and used for rehabilitation post construction; and • Clearing and FSC activities will be undertaken as per QGCs Fauna Management Procedures. Soil • For each site: o Prior to works commencing a soil assessment will be undertaken to determine appropriate soil management requirements; o The depth of topsoil strip will be assessed and confirmed on site with a QGC Field Environment Officer (FEO) to ensure protection of topsoil for rehabilitation purposes; and o Prior to works a site specific drainage, erosion and sediment control plan will be developed by the contractor. The plan must be approved by a QGC FEO and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS). Habitat Loss and Connectivity • Infrastructure will be located to maximise the use of areas of pre-existing disturbance; • Infrastructure locations will aim to avoid or reduce fragmentation of habitat; • The total disturbance proposed for the Anya project will not exceed 5% of the total Anya Project Area and disturbances will be spread throughout the area due to well spacing requirements. This means each site disturbance will be small compared to the surrounding vegetated area and each site disturbance will be minimal; • Rehabilitation, including filling of trenches, will be undertaken as soon as possible after construction and will include reinstatement of debris and shelter sites to allow for Five-clawed Worm-skink movement across, and utilisation of, the sites; and • The Anya project area is wholly within a State Forest and fauna will be able to move into surrounding undisturbed areas. Entrapment • In areas where the species has been identified or its habitat is present, a FSC must inspect and remove any fauna from gathering line trenches twice daily (early morning and late afternoon) every day while the trenches are open, and have access to the site in all weather. In all other areas FSC shall inspect trenches at least once daily;

• For each site, the contractor will prepare a Site Based Environmental Management Plan and submit to a QGC FEO for approval prior to works commencing. The plan will detail additional measures in relation to trenches and preventing fauna entrapment, including providing exit ramps for fauna and shelter such as hessian sacks soaked in water; • Gas well-head cellars, well site troughs and similar will be covered to prevent reptiles from falling in and becoming trapped; and • Prior to backfilling of the trench site personnel will check the open trench for trapped fauna, and where required a FSC will be called to move any fauna to a safe location away from the trench. Breeding Place • Should a Five-clawed Worm-skink breeding place (i.e. eggs) be identified it will be avoided wherever possible. Breeding places may be avoided through placement of infrastructure, particularly if identified prior to internal approval of final infrastructure locations, or if on the edge of proposed disturbance areas. They may also be avoided through timing of works, by delaying clearing until after the breeding cycle has completed and the young have left the area; or • If it is determined that disturbance or tampering to the breeding site is unavoidable a FSC will determine the appropriate response in line with their permit, which may include the removal of eggs and placement with a wildlife carer or facility. Vehicles • After clearing, vehicle activities will be restricted to roads, access tracks and hardened surfaces (once these are constructed) to reduce potential impacts to the species. Weeds • Weeds will be identified and recorded by an ecologist during pegging parties; • For each site the contractor will develop a weed strategy that includes management of weeds that may contribute to habitat degradation for the species (such as Lippia) and submit to a QGC FEO for approval; and • Throughout all site activities crews will implement the QGC Weed and Pest Management Plan and procedure for weed hygiene for Vehicle and Machinery. These documents specify requirements for weed hygiene, including ensuring all vehicles and machinery are certified weed free before commencing work on site and regular weed wash-downs to minimise introduction and spread of weeds. Fire • QGC has no fire regime, fire management in the area may be undertaken by the Land manager, in this case QPWS as per their usual management strategies; • Staff and contractors will be made aware of fire risk levels and will use increased caution during high fire risk period; • All combustible liquids onsite must be stored appropriately and in line with the relevant Australian standard where available. Storage of combustible liquids will be minimised during times of high fire risk; • On site fire management practices shall be in accordance with Contractor HSSE requirements, relevant construction permits and method statements and appropriate dedicated firefighting equipment will be available at high risk construction sites to manage any fires that may start up and to avoid wildfires breaking out; • Cleared work areas around QGC infrastructure and activities will act as fire breaks that prevent or reduce the potential of any fire started from QGC works from spreading; and • Cleared vegetation will be removed from or limited in fire break areas with preference for storing these materials toward the edges of cleared areas. For example, fire breaks of 15m will be maintained around well heads and vegetation placement for storage or progressive rehab will not occur within these areas (progressive rehabilitation will occur in other parts of the 1ha well pad area). Injuries • All FSCs must be appropriately prepared for fauna injuries. They must have a rescue and first aid kit and response plan, including nearby wildlife carer contacts, to ensure all injured fauna are given appropriate care; • Any injured fauna shall be transported to a veterinarian or recognised wildlife carer immediately for treatment. QGCs Fauna Emergency Response and Care Centre (FERCC) is available to all staff and contractors for the treatment and care of injured fauna.

Stock • Any grazing in the State Forest will be the activity of a Lessee and would be managed as per an agreement with QPWS; and • Habitat features including suitable cleared trees, logs or other shelter sites used for progressive and/or final rehabilitation will provide shelter sites for protection against trampling by stock. Predation • Habitat features including suitable cleared trees, logs or other shelter sites used for progressive and/or final rehabilitation will provide shelter sites for protection against predators. Awareness • Signage will be erected to increase the general awareness amongst work crews of the species presence and its habitat in the area; • Nearby habitat areas that are to be avoided will be signed and flagged as No Go areas to ensure they are not disturbed; and • The presence of the species and habitat areas will be discussed by crews during tool box talks. Reporting and Compliance • All recorded sightings and relocation of the species will be recorded, and will also be reported to the relevant administering authority where required; and • Should non-compliance with the mitigation measures or management strategies outlined in this SSMP occur on site, an investigation shall be undertaken by all responsible parties followed by corrective action procedures if required. Work in the area will cease at the time of the non- compliance if the incident is deemed significant by the site Environment Representative. Rehabilitation and Recovery Rehabilitation will be undertaken to support recovery of this species. It will include:

• Post construction rehabilitation will include distribution of mulched vegetation across cleared areas and stick raking or placement of non-mulched vegetation to assist with habitat recovery and to provide shelter and protection from predators. This is also a QPWS requirement. Natural regeneration of areas will then be allowed to occur; • Fauna habitat to be created as part of rehabilitation of cleared areas, where the Five-clawed Worm- skink has been identified. This is to include replacement of habitat features; • Rehabilitation will be progressively undertaken during construction following backfilling and completion of infrastructure establishment; • As per QPWS requirements, rehabilitation will initially include seeding with a cover crop of annual millet grass to stabilise the area and prevent erosion while natural regeneration takes place and fertiliser application as per their specified rates; • A Management Plan for Rehabilitation will be implemented to ensure all requirements are met.

Residual Impacts Once the above mitigation and rehabilitation measures have been undertaken there is considered to be no or low residual impact to the species as it is not reliant on mature tree cover or remnant vegetation. Soil, shelter sites and grass cover are important habitat characteristics for the species and these can be recovered relatively quickly after construction and decommissioning. Soil and shelter sites will be reinstated as part of progressive and final rehabilitation and disturbed areas will be seeded as per QPWS requirements. Therefore, within a few months of progressive or final rehabilitation grasses will have regenerated and all important habitat characteristics for the species will have been reinstated. Performance Measures Performance measures for this species includes: • A pegging party survey will be undertaken to identify the presence/absence of the species, its habitat and micro-habitat features. If these are confirmed and the area cannot be avoided, a second targeted survey will be undertaken in accordance with DoE Survey guidelines for Australia’s threatened species; • Gathering line trenches will be inspected twice daily to detect entrapped reptiles; and • All progressive rehabilitation will occur within three months of construction.

Monitoring Monitoring requirements for this species includes: • Monitoring is not currently required as the species has not been identified as being present within the Anya project area; • If the species is located DoE will be notified; • An appropriate monitoring program may be required if impact to the species or its habitat is identified and quantified. If required, this will be established with the relevant authority; • In areas where this species has potential to be present, a FSC must monitor gathering lines trenches twice daily (early morning and late afternoon) every day while the trenches are open and have access to the site in all weather. In all other areas FSC shall monitor trenches at least once daily; • Monitoring of vegetation structure and species composition, including abundance, and fauna habitat features of areas being rehabilitated back to remnant native vegetation will be undertaken to assess success of rehabilitation; and • Monitoring of rehabilitation areas will be undertaken as per requirements of the relevant Environmental Authority and QPWS.
