Impacts to regulated vegetation exceed criteria 1 of the significant residual impact test in Table 1 of the guidelines (Department of Environment, 2013) and therefore there is a significant residual impact as demonstrated in Table 24.
Table 24. SRI assessment - regulated vegetation – Category B Significant Residual Impact Test Criteria
Clearing in a regional ecosystem that is endangered or of concern
For clearing for linear infrastructure: greater than 25 m wide in a grassland (structural category) regional ecosystem; or greater than 20 m wide in a sparse (structural category) regional ecosystem; or greater than 10 m wide in a dense to mid-dense (structural category) regional ecosystem. For clearing other than clearing for linear infrastructure: area greater than 5 ha where in a grassland (structural category) regional ecosystem; or - area greater than 2 ha where in a sparse (structural category) regional ecosystem; or - area greater than 0.5 ha where in a dense to mid-dense structural category) regional ecosystem.

NOTES: For a prescribed activity to have a significant residual impact on a regional ecosystem that lies within a mapped wetland, criteria 1 and 2 must be exceeded. For a prescribed activity to have a significant residual impact on a regional ecosystem that is within the defined distance of watercourses, criteria 1 and 3 must be exceeded. The values of the wetland and watercourses themselves are not covered in this section (only the vegetation associated with these natural features) —the values of the wetland and watercourses themselves are considered in section
