6.9.1.1. Cycas megacarpa

Cycas megacarpa is listed as endangered under the EPBC Act and NC Act.

C. megacarpa is endemic to south-east Queensland. The Australasian Virtual Herbarium has 200

records of C. megacarpa which range from as far south as Goomeri (60 km west of Gympie) to north

of Rockhampton with the furthest record 42 km northwest of Rockhampton (AVH, 2025). This

distribution aligns with Queensland Government’s potential habitat model for Cycas megacarpa found

on the species’ profile (DETSI, 2025) and the distribution mapped under the SPRAT database

(DCCEEW, 2025). C. megacarpa occurs in in woodland, open woodland and forests with a grassy

understorey and rocky substrates to clay/loam soils (DCCEEW, 2025), with some observations of the

species growing along rainforest margins. Typical habitat for the species is dominated by Corymbia

citriodora , Corymbia erythrophloia , Eucalyptus melanophloia and Lophestemon confertus . However,
