Project bioregion(s) Swan Coastal Plain
Assessment criteria (a) it comprises a high level of biological diversity., (e) it is significant as a remnant of native vegetation in an area that has been extensively cleared., (h) the clearing of the vegetation is likely to have an impact on the environmental values of any adjacent or nearby conservation area.
Residual impact

Loss of up to 1.4 hectares of native vegetation in good (Keighery 1994) condition that includes significant remnant vegetation within Bush Forever Site 193.
Offset conditions

3. The Permit Holder shall retain the vegetative material and topsoil removed by clearing in accordance with this Permit and shall lay the vegetative material and topsoil within the area cross hatched red on attached Plan 980/1 Map 1 and 980/1 Map 2.

5. The Permit Holder must revegetate the area cross hatched red on attached Plan 980/1 Map 1 and 980/1 Map 2 by:
(a) Deliberately planting and/or seeding native vegetation that will result in a similar species composition, structure and density of native vegetation to pre-clearing vegetation types in that area.
(b) Ensuring only local provenance seeds and propagating material from within 10 km of the proposed clearing are used to revegetate the area cross hatched in red in accordance with condition 5.
(c) Ensure revegetation commences by September 2007.

6. The Permit Holder shall construct a fence enclosing the area cross hatched red on attached Plan 980/1 Map 1.
The fence shall be constructed and maintained so as to be adequate to exclude public vehicle access.
Construction of the fence shall be completed by December 2007.

7. Within one year of undertaking revegetation in accordance with condition 5, the Permit Holder must
(a) determine the species composition, structure and density of the area revegetated in accordance with condition 5; and
(b) where, in the opinion of an environmental specialist, the composition structure and density determined under condition 7(a) will not result in a similar species composition, structure and density to pre-clearing vegetation types in that area the Permit Holder must undertake additional planting or seeding of native vegetation in accordance with the requirements of condition 5(a) and (b).

8. At least once within one year of the commencement of this Permit, the Permit Holder must remove or kill any weeds growing within areas cleared, revegetated and rehabilitated under this Permit.

Decision(s):

DECISION 1
Date: 2006-08-24 Ministerial statement: None
OFFSET 1
Condition status: Complete
Type(s): Rehabilitation
Rationale:

The offset will result in the rehabilitation of approximately 2.27 hectares of native vegetation in completely degraded to degraded (Keighery 1994) condition in close proximity to the area being cleared. The offset site is located within Bush Forever Site 193.

The offset is considered to be relevant and proportionate to the significance of the environmental values being impacted, mitigating the residual impacts of the project.

Note: This offset is a cumulative offset package of 2.27 ha for clearing permits CPS 978/1 and 980/1 for the City of Wanneroo. Clearing permit CPS 978/1 consisted of clearing 0.2 ha of road reserve vegetation, adjacent to Alexander Drive and is to the south of the CPS 980/1 area, for road widening purposes.
Security arrangements:

Lot 5199 on Plan 161576 is vested with the Department of Parks and Wildlife as State Forest 65.

Governance arrangements:

Offset location:

Portion of Lot 5199 on Plan 161576, Swan Location 5199, 45 Sydney Street, Gnangara, 6077.
