PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this document is to present a Rehabilitation and Offset Management Plan in compliance with Condition 39 of the Project Approval 06_0202 and Condition 35A of Project Approval 06_0202 MOD1. The appointment of Cumberland Ecology to prepare this Rehabilitation and Offset Management Plan has been approved by Department of Planning (DoP) prior to commencement (Appendix 1). This is a comprehensive plan that sets out provisions for the rehabilitation and conservation management of all offset and rehabilitation works for Drayton Mine for the short, medium and long term. The plan meets all of the conditions of Approval, and includes: • Detailed description of the land and vegetation to go into offset and rehabilitation areas; • Maps of current and proposed offsets, and of proposed linkages; • Prescriptions for rehabilitation and conservation management; • A proposed schedule for the works; • Milestones and key performance criteria; and • Monitoring and maintenance prescriptions. 1.1 Objectives The specific objectives of the Rehabilitation and Offset Management Plan are to: • Establish fully viable and self sustaining ecological communities where vegetation will be created in cleared offset areas; • Implement assisted natural regeneration methods to increase the ecological integrity of offset areas and to enhance the native vegetation it contains; • Secure land within a wildlife corridor; • Reduce weed species

This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

Their descriptions provide us with the earliest written accounts of the appearance of these areas before European-imposed stock grazing, vegetation clearance and altered fire regimes transformed these landscapes.
