Total extent 0.788 ha
Remnant patches
0.007 ha
Scattered trees 11 trees
Location risk B
See Appendix I for risk-based pathway details
Offset requirements
If a permit is granted to remove the marked native vegetation the permit condition will include the requirement to obtain a native vegetation offset.
The biodiversity assessment tool does not currently calculate offset requirements for moderate and high risk-based pathway applications. Please contact DEPI to determine the offset requirements for your proposal.
Next steps
This proposal to remove native vegetation must meet the application requirements of the moderate risk-based pathway and it will be assessed in the moderate risk-based pathway.
If you wish to remove the marked native vegetation you are required to apply for a permit from your local council.
The Biodiversity assessment report should be submitted with your application for a permit to remove native vegetation you plan to remove, lop or destroy.
The Biodiversity assessment report provides the following information that is required to be provided with your application for a permit to remove native vegetation:
• The location of the site where native vegetation is to be removed.
• The area of the patch of native vegetation and/or the number of any scattered trees to be removed.
• Maps or plans containing information set out in the Permitted clearing of native vegetation - Biodiversity assessment
guidelines.
• The risk-based pathway of the application for a permit to remove native vegetation.
Additional information is required when submitting an application for a permit to remove native vegetation. Refer to the Permitted

Appendix 1 - Risk-based pathway details
Risk-based pathway Moderate
Total extent 0.788 ha
Remnant patches
0.007 ha
Scattered trees 11 trees
Location risk B
W h y is the risk-based pathway moderate?
The following table explains how the risk-based pathway is determined:
Extent Location A Location B, Location C
<0.5 hectares Low Low High
2: 0.5 hectares and < 1 Low Moderate High
hectares
2: 1 hectares Moderate High High
The marked native vegetation is located, either wholly or partly, within Location B and has a total extent of greater than or equal to 0.5 hectares but less than 1 hectare.
At this location, native vegetation removal of this size may have a significant impact on the habitat of one or more rare or
threatened species. As a result, an application for the removal of this native vegetation must meet the requirements of, and will be assessed in, the moderate risk-based pathway.
For further information on location risk please see Native vegetation location risk map factsheet. For information on the
determination of the risk-based pathway see Permitted clearing o f native vegetation - Biodiversity assessment guidelines.
Have y o u received a planning permit t o remove native vegetation in the last five years?
If you have undertaken any permitted clearing on your property within the last five years, the extent of this past clearing must be included in the total extent of your current permit application. The risk-based pathway for your application requirements and assessment pathway is determined using the combined extent of permitted clearing within the last five years and proposed clearing.Appendix 2 - Biodiversity information maps

Description:
Grows on fertile, well-drained loamy soils on a range of geologies and elevation levels. I t is largely restricted to protected sites In gullies and on southern aspects of hills and mountains where rainfall is high and cloud cover at ground level is frequent. Characterised by a tall eucalypt overstorey to 30 m tail with scattered understorey trees over a tall broad-leaved shrubby understorey and a moist, shaded, fern-rich ground layer that is usually dominated by tree-ferns.
