2. Background

2.1 Purpose of the proposal

The clearance is for the establishment of a solar farm.

2.2 Background

Yates Electrical / Green Gold develop small solar farms producing power into the electricity grid; between 2 and 10ha around South Australia . In most cases the sites selected for the solar farms are placed on low valued farming land however, on occasions, land that is deemed suitable due to its proximity to the national power grid and connection suitability are selected for development. This land may contain native vegetation on all or part of the land.

This site is one of those where connection and line capacity is exceptional due to existing infrastructure from previous coal fired power generation and the electricity distribution network. The solar panels have a operating life of approximately 30years. The site selected is one of a series of lifetime allotments previously zoned as rural living blocks. These blocks are mostly unfenced allowing livestock to roam freely. This allotment has been heavily grazed (very low species counts) , a power line built through the middle of the property, has had a shed built on it and people accessing the site by 4 x 4 / motorbikes. Although clearance will occur for a small area of the site required for the solar panels and connection to the power network it is reasonable to think natural regeneration will occur at the site over the next few years. The proposed project has gone through a planning process with the assistance of Planning Chambers with development application approved. About this Solar Farm

1. The following provides technical information about the solar farm and justification for the project.

a) Caroona road solar farm is rated at 1.52MW, and will generate approx. 3,915MWh,.

b) The farm will be connected to the main grid via overhead power lines which will be extended if

necessary (please refer to site plans), and the power will be sent to nearby substations to feed local

demand. The electricity will be sold in the wholesale market via retailers.

c) This parcel was chosen due to its close proximity to distribution substations and relative strong

electricity networks in the local area.

d) The location of the development is close to existing infrastructure and associated native vegetation

damaged when that infrastructure was installed.

e) The solar farms will be decommissioned after its 30-40 year lifespan with all structures removed

and land returned to its original conditions. Natural regeneration of species will occur during this

time. This process of natural regeneration is already occurring on other sites cleared for solar

farms.

2. Building impacts on the site

a) The site will be fenced with a 1.8m high chain fence. All activities will occur within this fenced off

area including any connections to the network.

b) The Caroona road site access for equipment and maintenance will be via a new access track

alongside western property boundary, incorporated into a new fence line.. The existing access road

will be rehabilitated as part of the SEB for the site.

of 28


c) No additional roads are required as all materials and equipment will be delivered via Local

Government Roads. The footprint is low for this project as some of the vegetation has already

been damaged when the existing infrastructure was installed (and maintained).

d) Location of lay down area or material storage is part of the site plan/ clearance area contained

within the fenced off boundary.

e) The natural vegetation in this area is deemed low fire risk (the vegetation types are recommended

for high fire risk areas). The screening vegetation proposed is a requirement of the Port Augusta

council and have been selected because they are local native species and meet the guidelines for

plant species/ heights around power lines.

f) The reason for placing the solar farm where it is proposed is to reduce impacts as much as possible.

All trenches are underground HV cable will be connected to existing pole on site. All trenches will

be within site fenced area as per the site plan.

g) Our planning involves a team of 5 businesses who consider all engineering requirements, planning

and environmental during weekly meetings. This experienced team has considered all connections

to all services i.e. communications, water, sewer/septic. There will be 2 water tanks (22500 litres

each) placed at 2 corners within the fenced off area, to provide water for the screen plantings.

h) All activities are contained within the proposed fenced off site plan. The clearance area is contained

within the fenced off area.

3. Method

3.1 Flora assessment

A desktop review of possible species at the site was conducted using Nature maps, which provided the rating under

the NP&W 1972 and again reviewed using the Atlas of living Australia to identify other species that maybe present at

the site which enabled reviewing and referencing species listed on the EPBC act 1999 site.

The Bushland Assessment Field Datasheet was used to collect information from the site using the Bushland

Assessment Manual as a guide to fill out the Bushland Assessment Score sheet.

The Flora assessment was conducted at the time (2hrs) of site visitation using the process outlined in the Bushland

Assessment Manual. The vegetation association on the site were found to be homogeneous.

Further Flora assessment was conducted during a more comprehensive analysis on site some 4 months after the

initial review.

Samples of species requiring further identification were taken and identified by Dr Geoffrey Bishop using

identification books and internet searches.

No flora species were identified as listed under the NP&W 1972 or EPBC Act.

3.2 Fauna assessment

Our Fauna assessment was based on 2 visits. The site time spent initially on site identifying and writing down any

species viewed or observed during this time (2hrs). We used binoculars or visual sightings to spot fauna species.

Further assessments were conducted months later and included identifying any trails through the vegetation,

markings, scratching, scats, and diggings over a further 2 hours. The most noticeable species were many Kangaroos

(30) and Emus on the property.

In the office further review was made by:

• Desktop pre-review using The Atlas of Living Australia

• Species analysis via Nature Maps and Atlas of Living Australia (5km radius of site)

• Possible habitat use and clearance impacts developed from numerous sources including;

1. AofLA information on web 2. EPBC Act web review 3. NP&WS list 4. Birds Australia 5. Birds in Backyards 6. IUCN Red List of Threatened species

Discussions with colleagues regarding the proposed clearance and potential EPBC act referrals or potential habitat

loss or threats to rated species, it was agreed that the condition of the vegetation and impact of the clearance on

species using the vegetation was unlikely.

The 5km review picked up many shoreline species. The review of Fauna species is found in appendix 1

4. Assessment Outcomes Provide information on the following assessment criteria. For more information see the NVC’s Guide for Applications to Clear Native Vegetation.

4.1 Vegetation Assessment General description of the vegetation, the site and matters of significance

Provide a general description of the site including the following;

• Vegetation present,

The vegetation is dominated by Atriplex, is quite sparse in associated diversity species, possibly due to livestock grazing and high numbers of kangaroos.

The native vegetation has been disturbed with power lines crossing the landscape, regular checking of the lines via vehicles and general landowner activities.

• Landform, geography and soils

This area is very flat, with a gentle gradient sloping back towards the gulf.

Soils are a red brown shale/gibber-stone over clay with little soil structure resulting in a potential high erosion from strong winds and water erosion from thunderstorms.

• Provide the Database search (BDBSA, EPBC, AoLA) results plus direct observations, or incidental records of or suitable habitat for NP&W Act listed species or EPBC Act listed species. If present, the location of these matters must be identified on a map.

Species provided in tables as attachments.

No NP&W Act listed species were found.

No EPBC Act listed species were observed on site, however the environment changed significantly some 2000m away to the South where the land form changes to the top of the Gulf

4.2 Requirements of the Regulation

Provide information on how the proposed clearance meets the requirements of the regulation.

i. Identify the regulation under which the proposed clearance is applicable and demonstrate that it

meets all the criteria of the regulation contained in Division 5 and Schedule 1

Identify the applicable regulation and demonstrate the proposed clearance being undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the regulation.

The clearance would take place under Regulation 12(34) Infrastructure

Principles of Clearance (Schedule 1 of the Act) analysis Analysis Indication

No or Yes

a) It comprises a high level of diversity of plant species (patches of vegetation only) No

b) It has significant habitat for wildlife No

c) It includes plants of a rare, vulnerable or endangered species No

d) The vegetation comprises the whole, or a part, of a plant community that is rare, vulnerable or endangered (patches of vegetation only)

No

e) It is significant as a remnant of vegetation in an area which has been extensively cleared

No

f) It is growing in, or in association with, a wetland environment No

g) It contributes significantly to the amenity of the area in which it is growing or situated.

No

ii. Risk Assessment - determine the level of risk and provide information to support the risk assessment– see Guide for Applications to Clear Native Vegetation

Identify the level of risk of the application in accordance with Table 1 of the Guide for Applications to Clear Native Vegetation. This must include considerations of the following.

• Patch size = 9.12ha • Unit Biodiversity Score -= 30.68 • Total Biodiversity Score = 279.84

Using table 1 of the Guide for Applications to Clear Native Vegetation the total biodiversity score is greater than 250 therefore the Risk Level is 4 at variance with principles of clearance 1(b) of the act

Escalating matters review

The native plant species diversity score is 12 therefore clearance would be considered at variance with Principle the NV act.

Moderating Factor - only a small area of vegetation will be impacted relitive to the amount of vegetation within the local vicinity (less than 10% NV within 5km radius)

The threatened fauna score is 0.02 and a unit biodiversity score of 30.68, clearance would be considered at variance with Principle 1b of the NV act

No rare, vulnerable or endangered flora species were identified.

4.3 Address the Mitigation Hierarchy

When exercising a power or making a decision under Division 5 of the Native Vegetation Regulations 2017, the NVC must have regard to the mitigation hierarchy - see the Guide for Applications to Clear Native Vegetation The NVC will assess the measures taken to avoid and minimize impacts on biodiversity and rare or threatened species or ecological communities within the property or immediate vicinity of the development.

Demonstrate how the clearance proposal addresses the following:

a) Avoidance – outline measures taken to avoid clearance of native vegetation such as making adjustments to the location, design, size or scale of the activity in order to reduce the impact.

This solar farm has been designed following analysis of the site, keeping to areas already degraded by the establishment of the existing power line and maintenance.

Due to the existing electrical infrastructure the site location reduces the need to clear additional access tracks or the digging of trenches. The size of the solar farm is developed only to suit the ability to return energy to the power grid and no larger.

The proposed clearance area has been scaled down to a smaller footprint than previously considered once all technical reviews were considered.

Within the footprint (refer to the layout plan) native vegetation will regrow quickly in areas of low impact. That is areas without intensive activities such as panel installation areas.

b) Minimization – if clearance cannot be avoided, outline measures taken to minimize the extent, duration

and intensity of impacts of the clearance on biodiversity to the fullest possible extent. Yates Electrical/Green Gold operators are now experienced in developing these sites therefore they understand the options available when working within and around native vegetation. In this instance they will lightly scalp the site, leaving the roots of the chenopods in the ground. This will enable regrowth of the areas soon after building is completed. In this case it is to clear the worst of the degraded native vegetation close to the existing power line and existing human disturbance Areas under the existing power line will NOT be cleared, leaving only the fencing and panels requiring disturbance. Only 22.5% of the site is proposed as a solar farm leaving 77.5%

c) Rehabilitation or restoration – outline measures taken to rehabilitate ecosystems that have been degraded, and to restore ecosystems that have been degraded, or destroyed by the impact of clearance that cannot be avoided or further minimized, such as allowing for the re-establishment of the vegetation. The approval to develop is based on reducing any movement of soil through wind during construction and after, as such the plan is to

• Scalp the site to enable regrowth • Build a 1,8m fence around the site to remove high impacts from grazing animals • Reseed with local native species immediately the panels have been installed as operational and over the

following winter - successful establishment will be easier due to the runoff of water from the solar panels.

• Plant a buffer of local native screen plants on the inside of the fence will be planted and watered • A monitoring program established for reporting purposes.

We expect it to recover to a vegetation association and species representation that currently exists. Due to the increase in concentrated water runoff from the panels and the fencing we expect a better cover and diversity than currently exists which has the potential to spread to the rest of the SEB area. Our aim is a low impact footprint.

d) Offset – any adverse impact on native vegetation that cannot be avoided or further minimized should be offset by the achievement of a significant environmental benefit that outweighs that impact. The NVC will only consider an offset once avoidance, minimization and restoration have been documented and fulfilled. The SEB Policy explains the biodiversity offsetting principles that must be met.

The remaining land (30.75ha) is proposed as the offset by controlling livestock (fencing) and implementing a

rehabilitation plan. Additional requirements are to be met via payment into the fund or via SEB site we are

working on

of 28


5. Significant Environmental Benefit A Significant Environmental Benefit (SEB) is required for approval to clear under Division 5 of the Native Vegetation Regulations 2017. The NVC must be satisfied that as a result of the loss of vegetation from the clearance that an SEB will result in a positive impact on the environment that is over and above the negative impact of the clearance. The Data Report must propose how the SEB will be achieved in accordance with the SEB Policy and Guide, by providing the following information.

DETERMINATION OF THE SEB OBLIGATION

Provide a summary (table format for applications involving multiple trees or vegetation associations) of the vegetation assessments for the clearance area as follows. Attach the excel spreadsheets in the appendices. Clearance Area

For patches of vegetation assessed using the Bushland or Rangeland Assessment Method outline the following information for each vegetation association proposed for clearance:

• Area (ha) of proposed impact = 9.12 • Unit Biodiversity Score = 30.68 • Total Biodiversity Score = 279.84 • SEB Points required 293.89

For scattered trees assessed using the Scattered Tree Assessment Method outline the following information for each treeproposed for clearance:

• Species • Biodiversity Score • SEB Points required

ACHIEVING AN SEB

Indicate how the SEB will be achieved by ticking the appropriate box:

X Establish a new SEB Area on land owned by the proponent. Provide information below.

Use SEB Credit that the proponent has established. Provide the SEB Credit Ref. No.___________

Area:

Port Augusta West Hundred: Copley

Title Details: CT/6002/76 Section/Allotment: D74834 A24

Information on proposed on-ground SEB

Patches of vegetation assessed using the Bushland or Rangeland Assessment Method need to include information about each vegetation association for a proposed SEB:

• Area (ha) 30.75 • SEB Points Provided 179.07 • Unit Biodiversity score 30.68 • Gain Score 5.82 • Map showing the location of each vegetation association proposed as the SEB

of 28


Provide relevant background information relating to the proposed SEB Area. Include land use history, management actions or encumbrances.

This land was once rangeland grazing, however as Port Augusta West developed the landowner applied to establish lifestyle allotments. Ten (10) allotments were created in all. Little or no fencing between the allotments exists allowing for livestock to roam. Other grazing animals include goats, Kangaroos in high populations and Emu.

Provide a description of the vegetation (vegetation associations, dominant species, significant weeds, threatened species and general description of the condition). Possibly due to rangeland grazing and subsequent continued grazing and browsing by animals the vegetation has remained sparse with low species numbers identified. No trees or shrubs were found at this site, however they have most likely been cleared overtime, although they would have been scattered an or in clumps around the general landscape.

No weeds threaten the site except on the edges and tracks.

The existing vegetation is in poor condition, mostly as a result of grazing numbers and human activities.
