RECOMMENDATIONS
No Environmental issues on site
Environmental issues identified and surveyed on site
Environmental Officer required on site during clearing activities
Fauna spotter required
Other: An ecological survey was conducted by foot traverse of two proposed sections of a 20mwide 11kv underground cable RoW. The ecological constraints identified include the following: One
potential habitat tree and one actual habitat tree; and A grasstree and a kurrajong – both Type ‘A’
Restricted plants.
This report has been prepared by Unidel Group Pty Ltd,
in accordance with DSEWPAC Condition 5g (iii) for EPBC Approval 2008/4398
QGC confirms that all site assessments and field ecological surveys:
• Have taken into account and reference previous ecological surveys undertaken in the area and
relevant new information on likely presence or absence of MNES;
• Have been undertaken by a suitably qualified ecologist approved by the Department; and
• Apply best practice site assessment and ecological survey methods appropriate for each listed
threatened species, migratory species, their habitat and listed ecological communities; and
• Apply the mapping of environmental constraints class Zone 4a, the infrastructure location

(HVR):

None detected
Two Type ‘A’ Restricted species
Threatened species:
No watercourses within 100m; no wetlands within 200m
Waterways and
Wetlands:
None detected
Declared Weeds:
Additional
Considerations:
If the habitat features cannot be avoided, a DEHP-licensed fauna spotted will
be required to attend prior to clearing and should follow the QGC fauna
management plan.
If the grasstree and the kurrajong sapling (Type ‘A’ Restricted species) can’t
be avoided they should be salvaged and used for onsite rehabilitation
purposes
