7.10.1.1 Cycas megacarpa Cycas megacarpa is listed as endangered under the EPBC Act and NC Act.
C. megacarpa is endemic to south-east Queensland. The Australasian Virtual Herbarium has 200 records of C. megacarpa which range from as far south as Goomeri (60 km west of Gympie) to north of Rockhampton with the furthest record 42 km northwest of Rockhampton (AVH, 2025). This distribution aligns with Queensland Government’s potential habitat model for Cycas megacarpa found on the species’ profile (DETSI, 2025) and the distribution mapped under the SPRAT database (DCCEEW, 2025). C. megacarpa occurs in in woodland, open woodland and
