Likelihood of occurrence
Rockhampton and south to near Biggenden with an isolated record from the Warwick district (DETSI, 2025). The species has been recorded growing on rocky hillsides in eucalypt forest or woodland, Acacia woodland or shrubland and open heathland or vine thicket communities. Soils are recorded mostly as skeletal to shallow sandy, sandy clay or clay loams overlaying rhyolite, trachyte or sandstone substrates (DETSI, 2025). Cadellia pentastylis has a restricted distribution from near Duaringa west (QLD) to the Queensland/NSW border (DEWHA, 2008a). This species grows on moderately fertile soils and often occurs on the edges of sandstone and basalt escarpments. C. pentastylis associates with a range of vegetation types including: semi-evergreen vine thicket, brigalow-belah,

Unlikely to occur The project area is located in the distribution where the species or its habitat is
likely to occur and on historical record was identified within the
desktop assessment. However, given that no recent historical records were confirmed within the desktop search extent and neither the species or its suitable habitat were confirmed during field surveys, the species is considered unlikely to occur.

Cupaniopsis shirleyana Wedge-leaf Tuckeroo
Cupaniopsis shirleyana is distributed from Mt Larcom (QLD) in the north to Brisbane in the south (DCCEEW, 2025). C. shirleyana occurs in a variety of dry rainforest vegetation types, including vine thicket communities on hillsides, stream beds and along riverbanks at altitudes up to 550 m above sea level. This species is also likely to occur on the margins of native
Species may occur in project area
No – the nearest historical record is approximately 73 km south east of the project area.
