Potential to occur
The species is found in open country near swamps, salt marshes, sewage ponds, grassed surrounds to airfields, bare ground, occasionally on drier inland plains (Morcombe 2004).
Within the mapped distribution of the species but in an area with no local records – mapped as ‘may occur’ in SPRAT
The nearest historical record occurs approximately 71 km west of the project area from 1905 (DETSI, 2025).

PMST, WO
The species occur in littoral and coastal habitats and terrestrial wetlands of tropical and temperate Australia and offshore islands. They are mostly found in coastal areas but occasionally travel inland along major rivers. They require extensive areas of open fresh, brackish or saline water for foraging (DAWE 2022x).
Within the range and widespread (mapped as likely to occur in SPRAT)
The nearest historical record occurs approximately 21 km northeast of the project area from 1997 (DETSI, 2025).

Unlikely to occur Habitat within the project area is considered marginally suitable for the species. The nearest verified record is approximately 21 km northeast of the site, dated 1997 (DETSI, 2025). Due to the distance to the nearest record and proximity to the coast, this species is considered unlikely to occur within the project area.
