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,
