No suitable habitat present. Further assessment of this species is not required. Targeted but not located during field investigations. Some suitable foraging habitat present. Closest records have detected this species 3km from the Subject Property. Unlikely it would travel this distance to forage. Further assessment of this species is not required. Targeted but not located during field investigations. Only limited hollows as den sites. Limited availability of prey species. Unlikely to utilise the resources of the Subject Property. Further assessment of this species is not required. UBM Ecological Consultants Pty Ltd Page 60
