State Forest. In south-eastern Queensland A. brevis is still widespread in the lowlands and foothills east of the Great Dividing Range. Inhabits wet eucalypt forest, rainforest, and sometimes dry eucalypt forest, where it can be found in close proximity to suitable breeding habitat such as ponds and slow-moving sections of streams (Rowland J. , Targeted species survey guidelines - tusked frog, 2013) The Common Death Adder is characterised by a broad triangular head, narrow neck, short thick body and thin tail with a soft curved tip. Body colouration varies from grey to rich reddish-brown, usually with irregular dark crossbands and dark bars on the lips. This species is found in a wide variety of well-drained habitats, including rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests, woodland, shrublands, grasslands and coastal heathlands, preferring sites with deep fixed leaf litter. This species occurs from central Queensland through New South Wales to the southern parts of South Australia and Western Australia. (Wuster et al., 2005; Cogger, 2014).
within 10 km of the Project area and therefore species is unlikely to be present.
Unlikely : Few ALA records with the closest record 29.3 km north of the Project area. There are no records within 10 km of the Project area and therefore species is unlikely to be present.
