Likelihood
Decision framework
Implications for assessment and reporting
Included in likelihood of occurrence reporting only These species were not included in impact assessment given they are unlikely to occur in the project area.
Unlikely to occur (Very low likelihood)
The species has been historically recorded locally or regionally; however, no suitable habitat occurs within the project area, and the species has limited mobility or temporal dynamism, allowing increased confidence that it is unlikely to occur within the project area even on a transient basis. The species has NOT been recorded locally or regionally AND only small areas of very low- quality habitat are present in the project area AND the species is readily detected wherever present. The species has NOT been historically recorded in the region AND no suitable habitat is present AND the project area is generally outside the species current known range. The species has well-known and highly specific habitat requirements that are not present in the project area AND the species has low mobility. This is reserved for species where there is very high confidence that the species will not occur
Highly unlikely to occur
(Negligible likelihood)
