As advised in the meeting, Heritage Minerals will prepare a relocation plan for submission. The plan must include but not limited to, identify the areas required to be removed, identify suitable relocation area, the methodologies, management, and the care and maintenance of species until they become established. There is mention of a species-specific management plan for Cycas megacarpa and Grevillea hockingsii. These plans were not submitted in support of the draft application. It is understood an offset is required for Regulated Vegetation – Category B, however there is limited information available detailing this impact or management. The draft application proposed a non-use management area (NUMA). Based on the available information, the department does not agree with a NUMA outcome, however, Heritage Minerals advised this will be amended to a post mining land use (PMLU). Ensure to provide rehabilitation information that aligns with this revision. For example, detailed capping design
