ANNUAL COMPLIANCE REPORTING

1.1

PROJECT – ACTION

In 2019, AirTrunk Operating Pty Ltd proposed to establish a commercial development at 210 Swann Drive, Derrimut,
Victoria. The proposed action was referred to the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Water and theEnvironment (DAWE) (EPBC 2019/8417) for impacting 2.444 hectares of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity
Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) listed Threatened Ecological Community ‘Natural Temperate Grassland of theVictorian Volcanic Plain’ (NTGVVP) – Critically Endangered, and 2.444 hectares of habitat for the Vulnerable Striped
Legless Lizard Delma impar.

1.2

APPROVAL UNDER THE EPBC ACTAirTrunk Operating Pty Ltd received approval for the action on 23 October 2019. One of the conditions of approval(Condition 12 of EPBC Act Approval 2019/8417) was to provide DAWE with an Annual Compliance Report, to besubmitted within 60 days of the anniversary of the date of commencement/approval.
As per the Deed of Agreement with DAWE dated 14 April 2020, EPBC approval (2019/8417) was transferred from
AirTrunk Operating Pty Ltd, to Air Trunk Pty Ltd (as trustee for AirTrunk Melbourne Land Trust).

1.3

COMPLIANCE REPORTThe reporting period for this compliance report is for the second 12 months following commencement of the action
which occurred on 31/10/2019, and thus this reporting covers the period 31/10/2020 – 31/10/2021.

ANNUAL MONITORING – OFFSETMANAGEMENT PLAN

Annual monitoring to evaluate progress must be against the objectives set out in section 8 of the Offset Management Plan
(OMP) (EHP, 2019a). Results have been compiled against these objectives in reference to Table 8 of the OMP (EHP,
2019a). This table is provided in Appendix B.

2.1

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

2.1.1

DETAILED VEGETATION MONITORING

Detailed vegetation monitoring was undertaken as per Section 8.2 of the OMP. Detailed vegetation monitoring is to beundertaken in years 1 – 4, 6, 8 & 10. The full results of this monitoring are provided in Appendix B.
YEAR 2 MONITORING SUMMARY
Key results of vegetation monitoring are summarised below:— Biomass percentage cover was assessed as being 20.3%, down from 21.6% of vegetative cover in Year 1. Intertussock space was assessed as being 4.3 % up from 3.5%. See Table B.3 in Appendix B-2. Targets as per the OMP
for biomass percentage cover and inter-tussock space are >20%, and 20-40% respectively. Although only slightly
improved from Year 1, these improvements should be considered in the context of a 2021 declared La Nina year,
which would have encouraged substantial vegetative growth in Year 2.
— Coverage of high threat exotic weeds was assessed as being at 15 % down from 40%. This is largely due to thesuccessful control of Wild Oats from crash grazing.
— The native species Common woodruff Asperula conferta, Red-leg Grass Bothriochloa macra, and Cut-leaf Goodenia
Goodenia pinnatifida were identified within the offset area during this vegetation assessment. Common Woodruff
and Red-leg Grass were recorded by previous consultants although not by WSP in year 1. Cut-leaf Goodenia was
not previously recorded. These issues have been raised with the landowner. The landowner has detailed responses toissues identified in Appendix C.
— Plains Grassland EVC 132 was assessed as having a Habitat Hectare score of 47.44/100 within the offset area. Thisscore will likely increase again following successful implementation of future management.
— Feather Heads Ptilotus macrocephalus was not observed in year 2.
— Great Mullein *Verbascum thapsus was recorded in year 2, this species was not previously recorded by WSP, or by
EHP. There is the possibility for not compliance if this species is not kept below 1%.

2.1.2

STRIPED LEGLESS LIZARD MONITORING

Striped Legless Lizard population monitoring was undertaken as per section 8.3 of the OMP. Results of Striped LeglessLizard monitoring is provided in Table B.4, Appendix B-3. The location of the tile grids checked is shown in Appendix
B-5.
Striped Legless Lizard surveys are to be undertaken in years 1 – 4, 6, 8 & 10.
YEAR 2 MONITORING SUMMARY
No Striped Legless Lizards were observed during the two prescribed checks in year 2. With only two checks, this does
not indicate that the species is not present or is declining, however it does imply that the species is not present in highProject No PS120946

density yet. The Preliminary Documentation (PD), reports that ‘a population of SLL was detected during targetedsurveys, multiple age cohorts were observed suggesting a sustainable, breeding population is present within the offset
site’ (EHP, 2019c). The PD and OMP do not detail any survey results.
Section 6.7 of PD (EHP, 2019c) states that ‘the desired outcome is the maintenance and improvement of the SLL
population.’ It is noted that the language is non-committal in this being a desired outcome. The OMP only commits tohabitat improvement of the site (OMP section 5.4 (EHP, 2019a)), rather than maintenance or improvement of the
population. With an improvement in NTGVVP, SLL habitat is considered similarly improved.

2.1.3

MONITORING OF MANAGEMENT ACTIONSMonitoring against Table 8 of the OMP – Management Actions Table, was undertaken and is provided as Table B.1,
Appendix B-1.
MANAGEMENT PLAN MONITORING SUMMARY
The key results of this monitoring are summarised below:— Pulse grazing had been undertaken at the time of inspection. See Landowner reporting in Appendix C. Pulse grazing
appears to have successfully assisted in the control of weedy annual species with a greatly reduced coverage of Wild
Oats *Avena barbata from year1.
— Landowner reporting as per state requirements is comprehensive and accurate.
— Fences are in excellent condition and fit for purpose.
— Rabbits were not observed, warrens appeared abandoned. No Fox scats were observed. No fox dens were observed.
Warrens were reported to be hand-collapsed and baited, and Foxes and Rabbits hunted with longarm rifles in
December 2021 – Landowner reporting Appendix C.
— There needs to be greater effort to minimise off target / overspray when conducting weed control. Weed control in
NTGVVP is recommended to be undertaken by personnel experienced in the application of herbicide in conservation
areas and minimising off-target damage. Table B.5 Image 3 shows control of indigenous species Salsola tragus. This
species may appear as a thistle however it is an indigenous saltbush. Weed control in NTGVVP is recommended to
be undertaken by personnel experienced in the identification of indigenous flora species.
— As mentioned above Feather Heads Ptilotus macrocephalus was not observed in year 2, this may be due to grazingpressure, errant herbicide application, or natural mortality.

Coverage of Wild Oat *Avena fatua was around 30% after year 1of management. This is now much reduced following biomass
management to a coverage of around 5%.

there remained large patches of untreated and seeding Serrated
Tussock *Nassella trichotoma, and other untreated grassy
herbaceous weeds. See image 1 Table B.5.
It should be noted that significant overspray of grassland is still
occurring as a result of weed control efforts. This issue waspreviously raised with the landowner, and the need to minimise
off-target damage when applying herbicide discussed.
The OMP discusses herbicide application in terms of spotspraying. This should be interpreted as knap-sacking. If quick
sprays or rigs are to be used these should only be used at lowpressures and at close range with high-accuracy wands. An
example of overspray is shown in Image 2 Table B.5. Weed
control in NTGVVP is recommended to be undertaken by
personnel experienced in the application of herbicide in areas ofconservation and minimising off target damage.
Table B.5 Image 3 shows control of indigenous species Salsola
tragus. Although this species may appear as a thistle it is anindigenous saltbush. Weed control in NTGVVP is recommended
to be undertaken by personnel experienced in the identificationof indigenous flora species.

A Habitat Hectare Assessment was undertaken on 26 October
2021. Plains Grassland EVC 132 within the offset area wasassessed as having a Habitat Hectare score of 47.44/100. Thisscore will likely increase again following successful
implementation of future management.
14 1m x 1m plots were assessed for Biomass coverage, and intertussock space. Biomass levels were assessed as being 20.3%
down from 21.6% of vegetative cover. Inter-tussock space wasassessed as being 4.3% up from 3.5%. See Table B.3 inAppendix B-2. Although only slight improvements on year 1,
these improvements should be considered in context with 2021
being a declared La Niña year. Higher than usual biomass would
be expected in a La Niña year.
Coverage of high threat exotic weeds was assessed as being at 15% down from 40%. This is largely due to the successful controlof Wild Oats from crash grazing.

Survey 1 for Striped Legless Lizard was undertaken on

No Striped Legless Lizard Delma impar were observed during
the two prescribed surveys. The Preliminary Documentation –PD, there is reported ‘a population of SLL was detected during
targeted surveys, multiple age cohorts were observed suggestinga sustainable, breeding population is present within the offset
site’ (EHP, 2019c). The PD and OMP do not however detail any
survey results. Although no SLL have been recorded inmonitoring across years 1 and 2, with only two checks of survey
grids, it is not reasonable to conclude that the species is notpresent or is declining. The results do however imply that the
species is not present in high density yet.

Parasuta flagellum, Large Striped Skink Ctenotus robustus,
Common Blue-tongued Lizard Tiliqua scincoides, Eastern

Year Round

Yes

Note we usually take photos the last weekend of October but we had a large rain eventthat prevented us from taking photos that weekend (access across entire Site difficult)and the light was very bad for photography. They were taken the first weekend of
November.
Any new Briar Rose plants have been hand chipped and removed from Site throughout
the year. As we had eliminated at the end of last year it was easy to remove new plants
this year.

& African Boxthorn by end of Year 2

African Boxthorn plants have been hand cut and their stumps painted with herbicide. We
are monitoring the stumps to see if there are in fact dead but there are no living African
Boxthorn on the Site. As with the Briar Rose we will continue to monitor and remove any
new bushes as they grow.
(See attachment 3 Log Book) while the plants have been killed, we are still working at
removing some of the dead bushes and this is not an easy task especially with the larger
ones. As we are allowed limited access on management tracks but most areas are inaccessible only on foot.
We have worked hard in eliminating the African Boxthorn from the Site as we needed toremove this Woody Weed by the end of year 2. We have been successful in doing so
and will continue to remove dead carcasses and monitor both African Box Thorn and
Briar Rose and eliminate any new plants.

Yes

Grazing Sheep as per management Plan to control herbaceous weeds such as Wild Oat,
Turnip and White Clover and Toowoomba Canary Grass and Soft Broome.
Three Pulse Grazing events have taken place this year. They did happen quite close
together as we still had problems getting a large enough flock.
We did secure a large mob of approximately 250 Merino sheep from a neighbour andajisted the sheep before they were sent to market while grazing over an area ofapproximately 40 hectares.
See Log Book Entries for dates with rest periods in between.
We are currently building our own flock of sheep we have a flock 53 Aussie White &Dorper and Dorper Cross Sheep. We are expecting these to lamb in the first half of 2022.
Therefore, we will be ready to put our Sheep on the Site as soon as the exclusion period
has passed

TimingActionCompleted

Description of Actions and observed outcomes(Include or attach evidence of actions completed / comments / observed outcomes)(Yes/No)We definitely saw the benefit of pulse grazing. Straight after they came off the Site we
had a significant rainfall event and the pasture grew and another graze would havebenefitted but it was after the exclusion period.
We would like to put forward the proposal of putting a low impact fence between Sites 1
and 2 in the 6 meter exclusion zone. We think that it would greatly assist in the
management of the two Sites and assist with more targeted grazing by rotating areas.
We currently have our Sheep rotating in smaller paddocks not on the Offset Site andsupplementary feeding when needed. We need to have our own sheep as ajistment
comes with lots of issues having our own flock means we can graze whenever we needand not rely on others.
Temporary fencing is not really practical. Dorper’s can be quite hard on fences and While
temporary fencing might be sufficient for Merino Sheep it is definitely not good for Dorperand Dorper X and even Aussie Whites.

Annual report is signed, dated and submitted by
the landowner at least 2 months before theanniversary date of the agreement
The annual report is a useful opportunity tomake comprehensive comments andobservations, giving a picture of the current
condition of the site(s), issues identified, works
undertaken and actions still required. You areencouraged to create a separate report toinclude in your annual reporting each year that
captures this detailed information. The benefitsof monitoring your vegetation condition andidentifying issues and management undertaken,
is that it aids you to gauge the success ofmanagement on the condition of native
vegetation over time.
The Department is also able to use thisinformation to assist with the assessment of yourcompliance with the agreement and provides us
with useful information and data for future
management advice.
Obligations of the landowner (compliance withsection 6 of the Landowner Agreement) havebeen met, and I have read, signed, dated andsubmitted the obligations form with the annual
