QUBE Mandogalup Property Pty Ltd (Qube) is developing a residential estate on Lot 682 Rowley Road, Mandogalup, Western Australia in accordance with EPBC approval (EPBC 2014/7126) and Western Australia Planning Commission (WAPC) draft subdivision approval (No. 155567) (Figure 1). EPBC approval (EPBC 2014/7126) has been granted for the clearing of approximately 38.7 ha of potential foraging habitat and 176 potential breeding trees (>500mm DBH) for Carnaby’s and Forest Red-Tailed Black cockatoos. Approximately 40% of the vegetation within the Proposal Area is in good – Very Good condition, with the remainder previously cleared for agricultural purposes. The EPBC assessment in 2014, excluded a Western Power easement (Lot 52) which contains high voltage transmission lines (voltages of 66,000 volts to 330,000 volts). This easement traverses the central section of the site. This section of the easement is a freehold lot with easement control on the title. Based on available aerial photography active management within the Western Power easement has not occurred since 2010, which has resulted in the natural regeneration of Banksia vegetation in this area. To allow for access to the southern section of the site, 0.31 ha of Banksia Woodland vegetation within the Western Power easement that dissects the lot, is proposed to be cleared. Along the northern boundary of the residential estate is an Urban Deferred Planning Control Area No. 112 (PCA No. 112) which is a portion of land associated with the future upgrades to Rowley Road and noise attenuation measures of Rowley Road. Since 2014, planning design has progressed for the residential estate and access to Rowley Road through the PCA No. 112 and clearing within the area is required for Bush Fire compliance in accordance with Western Australian (WA) State Planning Policy 3.7 Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas (SPP 3.7) Policy Measure 6.4 is required. The area proposed to be cleared comprises of 0.8 ha of Banksia Woodland vegetation and black cockatoo foraging habitat and three Eucalyptus marginata trees over 500 mm DBH were recorded within the survey area. No hollows were observed in any of the trees. The total proposed action is to clear an additional 1.1 ha of Banksia Woodland TEC and EPBC Act referral - Clearing for bushfire hazard risk requirements and site access, Lot 682 Rowley Road, Mandogalup, WA potential Black Cockatoo foraging habitat and three potential habitat trees outside the boundaries of EPBC 2014/7126.

EPBC Act referral - Clearing for bushfire hazard risk requirements and site access, Lot 682 Rowley Road, Mandogalup, WA The site (Lot 682 Rowley Road, Mandogalup) is located approximately 33 km south of Perth and is enclosed within an area bounded by the Kwinana Freeway to the east, Anketell Rd to the south, Mandogalup Rd to the west, and Rowley Rd to the north. The proposed action will take place on 1.1 ha of vegetation that meeting the diagnostic criteria for Banksia woodland within the PCA No. 112 and Western Power easement associated with Lot 682 Rowley Road. The entire lot is comprised of three portions of land separated by two easements; one for a power line and one for a drain. The Western Power easement (Lot 52) is located on freehold land owned by Qube, however there is an easement control associated with this portion of the lot. 1.6 What is the size of the proposed action area development footprint (or work area) including disturbance footprint and avoidance footprint (if relevant)? 1.1 ha. 1.7 Is the proposed action a street address or lot? Lot 1.7.2 Describe the lot number and title.Lot 682 Rowley Road, Mandogalup, Western Australia 1.8 Primary Jurisdiction. Western Australia 1.9 Has the person proposing to take the action received any Australian Government grant funding to undertake this project? No 1.10 Is the proposed action subject to local government planning approval? No 1.11 Provide an estimated start and estimated end date for the proposed action. Start date 05/2018 End date 05/2020 1.12 Provide details of the context, planning framework and State and/or Local government requirements. The majority of the MWLSP area is zoned “Urban” under the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS), with the exception of the PCA No. 112 that is zoned “Urban Deferred”, which is located EPBC Act referral - Clearing for bushfire hazard risk requirements and site access, Lot 682 Rowley Road, Mandogalup, WA on the northern boundary of the site. The “Urban Deferred” portion of land is associated with the eventual upgrading, road widening and noise attenuation measures of Rowley Road (Roberts Day, 2017). The south western portion of the subject land is zoned ‘Urban Deferred’ under the MRS, on the basis it is located within the 1km Revised Kwinana Industrial (including air quality) Buffer. An amendment to lift the ‘Urban Deferred’ to ‘Urban’ under Clause 27 of the Metropolitan Regional Town Planning Scheme Act 1989 has recently been submitted to the WAPC. The site is zoned ‘Development’ under the provisions of the City of Kwinana Town Planning Scheme No.2 Subdivision, development and use of the land within the ‘Development’ zone is in accordance with an approved MWLSP. The proposed action is in association with an approved residential estate subdivision and is located within a growth urban environment within the City of Kwinana. The Mandogalup area has been identified as an Urban and urban expansion under the South Metropolitan Peel Sub- Regional Planning Framework (WAPC, 2018). The WAPC (2018) reports that future extension, realignments and/or upgrades of Rowley road is proposed as this route is a vital east-west freight linkage between the future Outer Harbour and freight logistics centres in the region. The Council of the City of Kwinana resolved to approve the Mandogalup West Local Structure Plan (MWLSP) on 8 March 2017. The WAPC Statutory Planning Committee resolved to adopt the MWLSP, in accordance with a Schedule of Modifications, on 2 May 2017. The MWLSP has been updated in accordance with the Schedule of Modifications and has been submitted to the Department for final adoption. The proposed works are in accordance with the MWLSP. The MWLSP has been approved and endorsed by the WAPC on 26 March 2018 (refer to Attachment A). The purpose of the MWLSP is to provide a plan for the coordination of future zoning and subdivision of the subject land to facilitate development for residential, education, recreation and local centre purposes. Subdivision and development of the site in accordance with MWLSP represents a logical progression of the development front from the north (Hammond Park), as well as the eastern side of the Kwinana Freeway (Wandi) (Roberts Day, 2017). A WAPC subdivision approval with draft conditions (WAPC No. 155567) has been issued for comment for the proposed clearing and earthworks for Stage 1 of the residential development. Formal subdivision approved with condition is expected to be received from the WAPC by mid- April 2018. 1.13 Describe any public consultation that has been, is being or will be undertaken, including with Indigenous stakeholders. Over the past ten years, key stakeholders have been consulted on several occasions, during the site rezoning process. During the MWLSP the following government agencies were consulted Department of Education and City of Kwinana. EPBC Act referral - Clearing for bushfire hazard risk requirements and site access, Lot 682 Rowley Road, Mandogalup, WA The Department of Planning Lands and Heritage (DPLH) Aboriginal Heritage Inquiry System includes that there are no registered Aboriginal sites within the site. The database did identify one ‘Other Heritage Place’, being a mythological site (Site 3427 – Mandogalup Swamp / Spectacles) that extends in the southern portion of the MWLSP area. This listing does not restrict the development. No formal correspondence with the DPLH or local Aboriginal groups/representatives has been undertaken as part of the proposed action.
