1.4.3 State legislation Clearing of any plant (or within 100m of any plant) listed as endangered, vulnerable or near threatened (EVNT) under the NC Act in Queensland is regulated by the Nature Conservation (Plants) Regulation 2020 . Where a clearing activity is not exempt and impacts to EVNT plants are unavoidable, a clearing permit is required and the applicant must demonstrate that mitigation measures will be implemented to facilitate ‘no net loss of EVNT plants’. This Translocation Plan outlines measures to be undertaken to meet the ‘no net loss’ requirement for C. megacarpa, in this case there is no requirement under either the EPBC Act nor the NC Act, but Heritage Minerals has committed to translocation in order to preserve the species at the location.
