Supporting evidence is provided in a series of Figures and Appendices at the end of this Memorandum. Methods A desktop assessment was conducted using FloraBase (Western Australian Herbarium [WAH] 1998- ), NatureMap (Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions [DBCA] 2007- ) and Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Protected Matters Search Tool (Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment [DAWE] 2020a) databases to identify the possible occurrence of threatened and priority flora, threatened fauna and threatened and priority ecological communities within the proposed pipeline survey area. Search parameters used in the NatureMap search were ‘by rectangle’ and encompassed the project area polygon using the following parameters: 115° 07’ 36” E, 115° 19’ 42” E, - 29° 25’ 59” S, - 29° 23’ 47” S.
