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
requirements, minimum no impact zones; impact risk zones; and the width requirements for linear
infrastructure corridors described in condition 5(e)”.

SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Clearance of proposed anode beds
Block – PACR Name:
(Same as above):
Vegetation on access
and gathering:
11.7.4/11.7.7/11.7.5/11.7.2 as mapped.
Remnant vegetation with a 10-15m (20% FPC) canopy including Eucalyptus
fibrosa, Corymbia clarksonii, Corymbia spp., Angophora leiocarpa,
Angophora floribunda. Callitris glaucophylla (8-10m, 15% FPC) and
Allocasuarina leuhmanii (6-10m 20% FPC) form a well defined understory.
Shrub layer is sparse. Ground layer of native grasses containing
Xanthorrhoea johnsonii.

Mapping IDs:
Threatened Ecological
Communities (TEC) or
High Value Regrowth
(HVR):
NA
Regrowth Present:
(I.e. Species &
Common name/rough
estimate when cleared
in years)
NA
Threatened species:
Xanthorrhoea johnsonii (grass tree), a Type A Restricted Species, is present.
Cymbidium canaliculatum (black orchid), a Type A Restricted Species, is
present.
Waterways and
Wetlands:
A SO 3-4 watercourse occurs on the proposed Location 1. The area was
cleared as proposed and an alternative area was also cleared to allow for
situating the infrastructure outside of the buffer.
A SO 1-2 watercourse is mapped at the proposed Location 2. There is no
indication on the ground that this watercourse exists. Area cleared as
proposed.
Declared Weeds:
Additional
Considerations:
Opuntia tomentosa (velvet tree pear), a Class 2 Declared Pest Plant, is very
occasional across the property.
Two areas were cleared as proposed. Location 1 is proposed within the
100m buffer of a SO-3-4 watercourse and impacts the bed of the feature.
The area was cleared as proposed and an alternative area cleared outside of
the 100m buffer. Location 2 as proposed intersects the 100m buffer of a
mapped SO 1-2 watercourse. This feature is not identifiable on the ground
and the area was cleared as proposed.
ENVIRONMENT
PEGGING PARTY REPORT
Cymbidium canaliculatum (black orchid) occurs at both proposed anode
beds. Many of the individuals identified have previously been relocated from
areas cleared for the CPP.
