Silviculture and Harvesting Prescriptions
These compartments have a long history of forest management, including Timber Stand Improvement (TSI) in the 1950’s and 60’s. Small operations were conducted for mining timber in the mid-1970’s, then harvesting for high-value products followed during the 1980’s and 90’s. This compartment is one of 5 Silvicultural Demonstration Areas within Hardwood Forests Division, and has received a range of treatments over the years. An integrated operation occurred in 2000, when over half the area was STSed, and the remaining area was harvested by STS, or a combination of STS, AGS & thinning. Hazard reduction burning as well as wildfires have occurred regularly. The most recent event was an integrated harvesting operation conducted in 2007. The silvicultural treatment included approximately 33% STS in the southern, steeper areas, and 67% AGS in the north of the compartment. The resultant forest has sections of mature forest at stand-end point, ready for
N:\Corporate Governance\Publications\Internet\2015 Harvest plans\QueensLake10_HarvestPlan.docx Page 2 of 8
a final harvest, as well as regeneration from previous harvests. The majority of these compartments are comprised of medium-high quality Blackbutt (moist and dry), interspersed with smaller sections of mixed hardwood. Mature Blackbutt seed trees must be left in these areas of mixed hardwood wherever they exist to ensure Blackbutt regeneration.
Silvicultural Planning The intent of this harvesting operation is to harvest end-point groups of mature areas of forest, to create conditions suitable to achieve regeneration of the harvested areas. This will be done using AGS where AGS was used in the previous harvest, and STS in the previous STS tracts. Where areas exist with good regeneration, care should be taken to minimise damage wherever practicably possible. Following this harvesting event, the harvested areas will be left until regeneration from this event, and previous logging events, is ready for first thinning in approximately 15 years. This will be the final harvest in the current WSA.

All traffic is to exercise extreme caution entering and exiting the compartments from/onto Houston Mitchell Drive This road is well used by members of the public and receives a large amount of tourist traffic. Great care must also be used when turning to/from the Pacific Highway. Dirt and debris deposited onto sealed roads must be removed immediately.
Plus Trees/Special Trees There are a number of plus/elite trees in this compartment. There are also two Special Trees, ST 11 is a White Stringybark, and ST12 is a Christmas bush. Both are marked with a yellow sign, and the approximate location shown on the HPOM. All Special and Plus trees must be retained, and are not to be damaged during harvesting. All logging debris must be located at least 5m from the base of these trees.
Management of Filter Strips on Unmapped Drainage Lines This operation is a non-scheduled operation under the Environment Protection Licence issued under section 55 of the Protection of the Environment Act 1997. This Harvesting operation, including the roads and trails associated with harvesting are not licensed. All EPL conditions will be applied to harvesting operations as best management practice only, except for schedule 4 condition 6 relating to filter strips on unmapped drainage lines. Any breach of these conditions is not a breach of the Licence, but is a breach of the conditions of this Harvest Plan. The Best Management Practices detailed in Appendix 3 of this Plan are to be applied to unmapped drainage lines.
Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs) Quaternary geology indicates that there are Alluvial Soils in these compartments. The EEC layer indicates there is potential EEC in this cpt (as shown on the HPOM), although this has not been verified. No EEC was recorded by the Ecologist, however if EEC is found during mark-up or harvesting, it must be excluded from harvesting. If there is any doubt, the area must be excluded until an assessment can be conducted by the Ecologist.
Crossing Management All drainage structures must be inspected by the HCCs for stability twice weekly during haulage operations over these crossings & recorded on Attachment 4: Operational Forms.
Dump Management At the commencement of use at each dump, topsoil must be stockpiled from the dump. When dump usage has been completed, the stockpiled topsoil must be re-spread over dump area.
Bark accumulated at the dump site should be dispersed back into the logging area where possible, and in heaps <2m3. All bark heaps must have a minimum of 5m mineral earth break around them, prior to the crew leaving the nearest dump site. If bark heaps are left on the dump, then individual heaps MUST NOT be located next to or under retained trees. Timber off-cuts must be stacked separately, and at a minimum of 5m from any bark heap.
Forest Management Zoning Conditions
FMZ 3A (Exclusions): Rainforest, Scientific Research, Flora, Tourism/Recreation, Visual Aesthetics & Old Growth exclusions – not to be harvested.
FMZ 4 (General Harvesting Prescription): General Management & Scientific Research - Available for harvesting
Cultural Heritage Conditions
Jollynose Peak is located in the far south-eastern corner of this compartment. As it is embedded in FMZ3A/Old Growth exclusions, it will not be impacted on by harvesting. An Aboriginal site survey was performed by a Forestry Corporation Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Officer in February 2015.
If potential Aboriginal heritage sites are uncovered during harvesting operations, the ACHO must be contacted and an interim 20m buffer observed pending further inspection.

IFOA Harvesting Trial - Queens Lake HP Conditions 1
Variation of Harvesting Plan for IFOA REMAKE TRIAL AREA
LOCATION
Compartment 10, Queens Lake State Forest
CONDITION TO BE VARIED AND SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS The following conditions are prepared under IFOA REMAKE TRIAL APPROVAL approved by Mark Gifford and dated 29/06/2015. The purpose and methodology of assessing the trial are described in that document. The purpose of this variation is to describe and map the location of the operational treatments in Queens Lake Compartment 10. Harvest Plan Maps 1 and 2 identify three harvesting treatment areas, these are
(1) The original IFOA requirements (status quo) (Map 1).
(2) Option A – the more flexible protection approach (Map 2).
(3) Option B - the most conservative protection approach (Map 2).
The normal IFOA conditions apply in this treatment are described in the original approved harvest plan. That plan must be used to identify conditions that apply in the status quo area and map shows the location of exclusion zones. The silvicultural prescription in the status quo area is Australian Group Selection. Map 2 and the following conditions describe the specific requirements to be implemented in the Option A and Option B areas in lieu of current TSL and EPL requirements. The silvicultural prescription for these areas is regeneration harvesting with TSL tree retention. Previous AGS opening occur across all treatments. Minimise damage to successfully regenerated AGS openings through directional felling and snig-track design. Felling trees into old AGS openings not successfully regenerated is encouraged. Recruitment tree selection should aim to meet seed tree retention requirements.

2.6 Areas within the ground protection zone that are disturbed by a forestry operation must be stabilised and rehabilitated. (see draft guidance note: Guidance on the Stabilisation and Rehabilitation of Disturbed Areas in the Ground Protection Zones of Class 1 Streams.docx)
B. Riparian exclusion zone conditions – measurement, implementation requirements and guidance
1. Classified Drainage Lines classes are shown on the relevant HPOM.
2. Riparian exclusion zones on a classified drainage line, ordered drainage feature or unmapped drainage line must:
2.1. be measured along the ground surface from:
2.1.1. the bankfull level as determined in the field; or
2.1.2. where the bankfull level cannot be identified, from the centreline as determined in the field.
2.2. Commence from the channel head for Class 1 classified drainage lines, and unmapped drainage lines as determined in the field.
3. the location of unmapped drainage lines must be determined in the field.
4. If a segment of a classified drainage line below the channel head is a drainage depression, that segment must be treated as a classified drainage line and the relevant riparian exclusion zone must be determined and applied in accordance with Table 1.
C. Riparian Condition Definitions
“Bankfull level” means the point at the top of the channel where under high flow conditions, the water level would be even with the top of the banks, or in a floodplain river, at the point just before water would spill over onto the floodplain as defined in the Australian River Assessment System: AusRivAS Physical Assessment Protocol. “Channel” has the same meaning as a drainage line. “Channel head” means the furthest upslope location of a drainage line. “Drainage Depression” means a level to gently inclined shallow, open depression with a smoothly concave cross-section, rising to moderately inclined hill slopes. “Drainage Line” means a channel down which surface water naturally concentrates and flows. Drainage lines exhibit one or a combination of the following features which distinguish them from drainage depressions:
a) evidence of active erosion or deposition - e.g., gravel, pebble, rock, sand bed, scour hole, nick points; or
b) an incised channel of more than 30 centimetres depth with defined bed and banks.
IFOA Harvesting Trial - Queens Lake HP Conditions 6
“Ground protection zone” means a protective area where specified forestry activities may only be conducted if in accordance with relevant conditions. “Riparian exclusion zone” means a protective area set aside on each side of a classified drainage line, ordered drainage feature and unmapped drainage line where specified forestry activities, unless excepted, are prohibited.
Other Soil and Water Protection Requirements
The conditions above describe the management of riparian exclusion zones and protection on drainage lines, drainage depressions and replace the normal IFOA approved EPA and TSL operating conditions as they apply to those features. For conditions relating to roading and snigging continue to apply the normal conditions of the EPL.
Mark-Up Surveys Continue to apply condition 5.2 of the TSL (normal mark-up survey requirements). Assessment of alternate broad-area habitat searches will be undertaken during the trial, however these will be conducted in parallel and not replace the mark-up survey requirements for the purpose of the trial.
Site-Specific Threatened Species Conditions If a threatened species trigger is found that does not have a relevant condition described in this variation, then seek approval from the EPA regarding what condition to apply.

NHA – Net Harvest Area, being the portion of operational area available for logging and forest products operations. The net harvestable area does not include any exclusion areas within the operational area.
Tree Selection Guidance – Option A Areas Habitat Trees A habitat tree has apparent hollows when; There is evidence of hollows, meaning hollows, holes and cavities that have formed as a result of decay, injury or other damage as trees age. Such hollows may not be visible from the ground; but may be apparent from the presence of deformities such as burls, protuberances or broken limbs. Note: typically it is the combination of these deformities, in conjunction with the assessment of later mature growth stages that create sufficient evidence that a tree is likely to be hollow even when the hollows are not clearly visible.
Recruitment Trees
Recruitment tree selection should aim to deliver a range of species and a mixture of aggregated and scattered retention. Trees should be located to facilitate both good habitat development and also silvicultural and production outcomes.
Feed Tree Retention
Associate tree species are any species other than the dominant overstorey species that are typically being retained as Habitat and Recruitment trees. In stands with few associate species, additional dominant species may be retained. Selection should consider the feed tree preferences of locally occurring threatened species, for example gum-barked species for Gliders, rough barked species for Brush-tailed Phascogale, fruiting Allocausurina for Glossy-black cockatoos, winter flowering species for Swift Parrots.
IFOA Harvesting Trial - Queens Lake HP Conditions 9

Koala Feed Tree. A tree > 30 cm dbhob, with a healthy crown, from the following list of Koala primary browse species; Tallowwood, Grey Gum, Sydney Blue Gum, Swamp Mahogany, Coastal Grey Box, Forest Red Gum and any other red gum species, Cabbage Gum.
NHA – Net Harvest Area, being the portion of operational area available for logging and forest products operations. The net harvestable area does not include any exclusion areas within the operational area.
Wildlife Habitat Clumps The following area of net harvestable area must be established as a wildlife habitat clump exclusion zone: Table 4. Area requiring clumps and habitat priorities for wildlife habitat clumps. Treatment Area
Area of clumps required (ha)
Target Number of clumps required
ESA Boundary Type
Habitat Features
Option A 0.16 1 1 Remnant large habitat trees and stags, Glossy Black-cockatoo feed trees, koala habitat, glider feed trees.
Option B 0.38 1 1
1. For each 100 ha of clumpable area, 3.2 percent of the area must be protected as habitat clumps. Minimum area of clumps for each site is shown in Table 4.
2. Each wildlife habitat clump must be: larger than 0.1 hectares in size; and
3. Wildlife habitat clumps must be dispersed across the net harvest area, including along ridgelines, mid-slopes and gullies.
IFOA Harvesting Trial - Queens Lake HP Conditions 11
4. For each wildlife habitat clump selected for protection, at least one environmental feature used to select the clump must be recorded that describes the reason for its establishment.
Wildlife Habitat Clump Guidance:
1. Features that clumps and 20% biodiversity offsets are designed to protect:
a) Habitat for threatened species such as Koala, Spotted-tailed Quolls, Squirrel Gliders, Brush-tailed
Phascogales, Glossy Black-cockatoos, Black-striped wallaby.
b) Habitat elements such as areas of dense understory; fruiting and flowering banksias or grass-trees;
areas with high-densities of coarse woody debris; previously unmapped rocky outcrops, wetlands,
heath and scrub; individual giant trees or other large hollow-bearing trees; groups of multiple hollow-
bearing trees or mature forest; groups of sap feed trees; stands of Allocausurina; nest, den or roost
sites; and threatened plant records.
c) Habitat connectivity – helping improve landscape connecting between other retained patches of
vegetation or as habitat islands within a large cutover area.
2. Clump size:
a) The design of clump size must consider the extent of the feature being protected.
b) Small sized clumps (0.1-0.2 ha) are suitable for small features such as individual trees or small
habitat patches;
c) Larger clumps, 0.5 ha and above are suited to larger habitat patches and habitat islands.
3. Clump Location:
a) Selection of habitat for inclusion in clumps should be considered in a local landscape context, in
particular reviewing the environmental features available and priorities for inclusion in protection
areas.
b) Clumps must be dispersed through the range of habitat types and topographic positions that
occur within the net harvest area of the planning area.
c) As clumps are a category 1 ESA the practicality of ensuring forestry operations do not impact on
clumps is an important consideration.
d) Placing clumps adjacent drainage feature protection or other exclusion zones in steeper and/or
narrow areas is encouraged as this reduces likelihood of incursions.
e) In flat areas and areas with few exclusion zones placement of clumps as habitat islands is
encouraged.
f) Individual clumps that protect multiple habitat features are encouraged.
Wetland Protection
IFOA Harvesting Trial - Queens Lake HP Conditions 12
2. An exclusion zone must be retained around all wetlands and major water storages with a minimum width as specified in Table 7. For the purpose of applying Table 7;
(i) the presence of the wetland must be verified in the field;
(ii) the surface area of a wetland, and the associated wetland exclusion zone, must be measured from either:
the edge of the current saturated zone, or
the outer edge of where the vegetation type indicates a wetter micro-environment than the surrounding country,
whichever results in a larger surface area;
(iii) the width of the wetland exclusion zone must be measured along the ground surface and must be determined in the field; and
3. if a wetland exclusion zone for a major water storage extends beyond the catchment of the wetland it is protecting, the exclusion zone may be terminated at the catchment boundary.
Table 1 – Minimum exclusion zone widths for wetlands and major water storages
Feature Type Size of the surface area Wetland Exclusion Zone (metres)
wetland Less than 0.5 ha 10
wetland Between 0.5 to 2.0 ha 20
wetland Greater than 2.0 ha 40
SEPP 14 wetland All 40
major water storage All 100 “Wetland” means:
a. all areas of SEPP 14 wetlands
b. any vegetated depression with a seasonal, permanent or intermittent water table at or
slightly above the floor of the depression. The vegetation type in a wetland typically
indicates a wetter micro-environment than the surrounding country and
c. soaks, seepages and bogs larger than 0.1 ha.
IFOA Harvesting Trial - Queens Lake HP Conditions 13
Bird Roost and Nest Protection
Category 1 ESAs must be applied around the nest, roosts and associated exclusion zones as specified in Table 1:
Table 1 – Nest and Roost Protection
25m radius 50m radius 100m radius Regent Honeyeater nest Powerful Owl nest Bush Stone- Curlew nest Varied Sittella nest Masked Owl nest Albert’s Lyrebird nest Gang-gang Cockatoo nest Barking Owl nest Brown Treecreeper nest Sooty Owl nest Black-chinned Honeyeater (eastern sub-species) nest

Threatened Frogs - General
1. A 10 metre wide exclusion zone must be applied around all dams.
2. Any new stream crossing that is located within 200 metres upstream or downstream of a stream breeding threatened frog record must not alter natural stream flow.
