Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 20111 Introduction1.1 QCLNG and Gas FieldsQGC (A BG-Group Company) is currently moving from the approval phase of the QCLNG Project toimplementation phase with both Commonwealth and State Government approvals obtained in October2010 (Appendix 1). The project comprises three main elements: The Coal Seam Gas (CSG) Fields; Gas Collection Header (GCH) and Export Pipeline (EP); and LNG facility on Curtis Island.The CSG Fields and GCH occur in the Southern Brigalow Belt Bioregion of Queensland between thetowns of Tipton and Taroom. The LNG Plant is located on Curtis Island on the Central Queensland Coastimmediately north of the City of Gladstone. The Export Pipeline links these two areas. The pipeline runsnortheast from the western end of Barakula State Forest (north of Miles) through to the CentralQueensland Coast.Only the CSG Field area is considered in this plan that encompasses an area of 468,000ha within theSurat Basin. The extent of the CSG Fields is shown in Appendix 2.1.2 Approval ConditionsDevelopment approval conditions addressed by this report pertaining to the control of weeds and pestsassociated with the Gas Fields as set by existing Environmental Authority, the Coordinator General andDepartment of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPC) are providedin Appendix 1.1.3 Distribution and Intended AudienceThis document is intended to be distributed to all field managers, land liaison officers, field environmentalofficers and contractor supervisors. It will also be provided to the Coordinator General, Department ofEmployment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) and Department of Environment andResource Management (DERM) for review and endorsement. A copy of this document, or condensedversion, will also be made available to any potentially affected landholder upon request by thatlandholder.8 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 20112 Weed and Pest Management Plan2.1 IntroductionThe QGC Gas Fields cover a broad geographic area of 468,000ha (Appendix 2). Several weed and pestanimal species occur throughout these tenements. As a local landholder and industry operator, QGCaims to support the regional community with the management of pests and weeds to minimise theirspread and economic impacts. This Weed and Pest Management Plan provides operational guidanceand an action plan for the prevention, control and eradication of pests and weeds within QGC‟s tenementareas. QGC‟s goal is to ensure that gas field development and operations do not increase the presenceor distribution of pests and weeds within or outside the project area, and neighbouring landholders‟properties are not adversely impacted.A weed can be defined as any plant growing where it is not wanted. Most weeds are introduced, althoughthey can also be native. Weeds cost Queensland an estimated $600 million annually and have significantimpacts on primary industries and natural ecosystems, as well as human and animal health. Weeds havenatural mechanisms that ensure their spread and ongoing distribution and survival, aided by wind andwater, and movement with livestock and native animals. The movement and transport of people,machinery, vehicles and equipment is potentially a major source of weed spread. QGC operations havethe potential to aid weed spread if not effectively managed. The following sections provide guidance inpreventing the introduction of new weeds into previously unaffected areas by QGC operations, and thespread of weeds between QGC properties, surrounding properties and tenements.QGC takes an integrated approach to weed management which is based around the important elementsof weed hygiene, prevention of infestations, arresting weed outbreaks using effective reporting andphysical or chemical control procedures, documenting weed infestations and auditing managementprograms, and using effective rehabilitation and seeding operations to out-compete potential weedoutbreaks. QGC has a long term view of weed management across its gas field footprint and supportsmanaging weeds in collaboration and consultation with landholders, natural resource managementbodies and the government.QGC‟s pest management program aims to control animal pest species already present, using acceptablemethods as well as identify potential pest species, their likely distribution and methods to prevent theirspread. QGC has a long term view of pest management across its gas field footprint and supportseffective monitoring and control of pest outbreaks in collaboration and consultation with landholders,natural resource management bodies and the government.11 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 20112.2 ScopeThis Pest and Weed Management Plan has been created to collate existing QGC procedures andmanagement plans for pests and weeds into one management document and provide additional weedand pest management methods. This document satisfies the requirements of Conditions G14 to G16 ofthe Project Environmental Authority (EA) PEN100020207 issued by DERM and those of the CoordinatorGeneral, DSEWPC and EIS commitments (Appendix 1). It is expected that this document will meet therequirements of any EAs issued for the QCLNG Project. It applies to the Gas Field only.3 Weeds3.1 Relevant LegislationIn Queensland, the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 (LP Act) and theLand Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Regulation 2003 (LP Reg) are the relevantlegislation regarding weeds. The LP Act and the LP Reg. provide legislative measures to manage pestsand address the impacts they have on the economy, the environment and society. The DEEDIadministers the pest provisions of the Act and its regulation.There are three classes of declared plants under the LP Act. These plants are targeted for controlbecause they have, or could have, serious economic, environmental or social impacts. Class 1, 2 and 3declared weeds that are likely to occur in the Gas Fields are listed in Appendix 3. Class 1 weeds are not commonly present in Queensland and, if introduced, would cause anadverse economic, environmental or social impact. Class 1 pests established in Queensland aresubject to eradication from the state, if such a pest is sighted it must be reported to DEEDI. Class 2 pests are established in Queensland and have, or could have, an adverse economic,environmental or social impact. Landowners must take reasonable steps to keep their land freeof Class 2 pest. Class 3 pests are well established in Queensland and have an adverse economic, environmentalor social impact. Landowners are not required to control Class 3 pests unless the land isadjacent to an environmentally significant area. There are a number of environmentallysignificant areas in and around the QGC Gas Field tenements as shown in the QGC Gas Fieldsand Significant Areas map contained in Appendix 2.Under the Local Law provisions of the Local Government Act 1993, a local government can declare anyplants not declared under the LP Act and enforce their control. Such plants are often referred to asenvironmental weeds as they can invade native ecosystems and adversely affect the survival ofindigenous flora and fauna. For example, African Lovegrass, Eragrostris curvula, is not a declared weed,yet is undoubtedly a weed of concern for landholders in the region. Environmental weeds may have12 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011significant economic and social impacts, as well as environmental impacts, including reduction ofbiodiversity, impacts on landscape, increased risk of fire and potential degradation of water quality.The Land Act 1994 also has provisions requiring control of weeds declared under the LPA on leaseholdland.3.2 General Weed Management, Hygiene and Monitoring Measures3.2.1 Preliminary Weed IdentificationWeed surveys of QGC tenements has been conducted and weed species abundance and distributionidentified. Information from these preliminary surveys has been used in the production of this document.Pre-clearance surveys are, and will be undertaken across the QGC Gas Fields (mainly through ProjectEnvironmental Clearances) by Field Environment Officers (FEO) to identify and record the presence ofweeds. This information will then be included into QGC‟s Constraint Planning and Field DevelopmentProtocol (the Protocol).3.2.2 Land Owner ConsultationsQGC representatives undertake consultations with landowners on a regular basis. Preliminaryconsultation forms such as the Property Evaluation Reports (PER) have been developed for land ownerconsultations and weed and pest distributions and management programs are covered in these reports.Information such as the presence of weeds, priority areas of concern for weeds on the property orneighbouring properties and requirements for vehicle wash-down prior to entering the property will berecorded. Information on distribution of weeds and concerns from landowner interviews are to be collatedand integrated into QGC management plans and the Protocol to ensure weed data is captured spatially.Land-use issues such as Organic Certification and the effect on QGC chemical weed managementprograms will be discussed with Landowners. QGC will ensure any future weed management on theproperty does not impact on the property‟s Organic Certification.3.2.3 Regional Council ConsultationsQGC will undertake on-going consultation with Western Downs, Maranoa and Banana Regional Councilson regional weed management plans and issues on a regular basis. Taroom Shire Council (now includedin Banana Regional Council) adopted a Pest Management Plan in 2006, identifying high priority weedspecies including; Parthenium, Harrisia Cactus, Parkinsonia, African Lovegrass, Giant Rat‟s-tail Grass,Mother of Millions and African Box Thorn. The prevention of the spread of Parthenium to the south of itsexisting distribution was identified as a “Very High” priority by the Taroom Shire Council in theirmanagement plans. Therefore QGC have included these weeds as priority for management. Several ofthe regional Councils‟ Pest Management Plans including Banana and Western Downs are under reviewtherefore QGC commit to liaising with relevant council officers and incorporating any additional13 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011requirements once these plans have been finalised. This Pest and Weed Management Plan will bereviewed at least annually and updated to address any local government issues of concern.3.2.4 Stakeholder Organisations ConsultationsThe Condamine Alliance and Queensland Murray-Darling Committee are two stakeholder organisationsthat work in the region of QGC‟s Gas Field tenements and have produced plans on weed and pestmanagement for the area. Consultation with these and other stakeholder organisations will be conductedon a regular basis to discuss and identify priority areas of concern and weed management programs inrelation to the integration of QGC management plans and what is occurring on a regional basis. Forexample the Parthenium Rapid Response Program and the National Lippia Management Strategy arebeing conducted in the region.3.2.5 Weed Identification during OperationsOngoing weed surveys will be undertaken to identify the overall abundance and diversity of weed speciesacross QGC tenements and adjacent lands. High risk weeds or areas will be noted and may be used togenerate special conditions of access for gas field activities. All QGC contractors and staff will be trainedin basic weed identification and encouraged to immediately report the location of weed sightings andprovide a photo of the species to a FEO. All QGC vehicles will be issued with a weed identificationbooklet to assist staff identify weeds during their daily duties. Such reports should be made using a QGCHazard Observation (HAZOB) Booklet. All such records will be provided to a FEO, who then ensures it isincorporated into the QGC Weed Database (that is part of the overall QGC Protocol) to assist in trackingweeds and their distribution, identifying management requirements, assist in monitoring and determiningthe success of management, and reporting.The FEOs will then decide the most appropriate control method and delegate this task to the appropriateperson. Only licensed Chemcert operators can spray weeds as there are health and safety risksassociated with the use of weed control chemicals. A list of QGC Chemcert licensed operators can beobtained from the FEO or the field technical assistants. Landowners will be consulted prior to chemicalcontrol methods being applied.3.2.6 Operational Control ProceduresA number of operational activities in the gas exploration and production field increase the risk of weedsbeing spread within the tenements and outside the Project area. Key activities to be managed include: Movement of people, vehicles and machinery Clearing vegetation Movement of soil and vegetation14 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011Management and control procedures which must be implemented when undertaking activities thatinvolve these threats are described below.Pegging PartiesPegging parties require QGC vehicles to drive onto private properties and people to walk across aproperty that may either be weed free or have weed infestations. The following steps should be takenduring pegging parties:• During the initial contact between the Land Access Officers and the Landholder, weed issuesshould be discussed, including any existing weed management programs or presence of weedson the property. QGC weed management strategies should be conveyed to the landholder andany landholder requests or concerns passed onto the pegging party.• This information will then be used to develop the rules for land access and incorporated into theQGC Weed Database.• Minimise the number of vehicles taken by the pegging party onto any property.• Vehicles are to stay on designated tracks and avoid driving through long grass and weedinfestations.• Vehicles must not have been exposed to any significant risk of re-contamination between cleandownand entry to a new property. Such events should be cause for an additionaldecontamination clean-down and obtain „certification‟.• During the pegging party, the FEO should take note of and record any weed infestations. Photosand GPS locations of any weeds shall be recorded by the FEO on an approved QGC form. Thisinformation will then go into the QGC Weed Database and Protocol.• If there are significant weeds or infestations noted on the property during the pegging party QGCvehicles should be cleaned down before re-entering other properties or tenements.• Any weed issues or requirements reported by the FEO will be passed on to relevant constructionstaff with key recommendations for their management prior to any clearing or constructionoccurring on the property.Infrastructure Earthworks and Track ConstructionDuring the construction period the following steps must be taken:• Earthmoving machinery must be cleaned down prior to entering the property if requested by thelandholder or advised by a FEO. See Weed Hygiene for Vehicles and Machinery Guidelinessection below.• Earthmoving machinery must be cleaned down as soon as possible, either on site or at theclosest clean-down facility, upon completion of works and leaving the property if advised by aFEO or operators notice the presence of weeds in the construction area.15 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011• If the construction area is located over a number of properties, the FEO will make arecommendation in the relevant site environmental approval if machinery will need to be cleaneddown when moving between properties.• Local Borrow Pits will be utilised in the construction of site infrastructure earthworks. Location ofthe Borrow Pits will consider weed dispersal issues.• Topsoil from Borrow Pits will be stockpiled for use in site rehabilitation and any weeds controlledbefore transportation to other sites.• Prior to importing bulk materials and products, including earthworks fill, QGC will confirm withsuppliers the weed status of materials by requesting a written statement i.e. weed hygienedeclaration form as per guidelines set out below.DrillingDuring drilling operations the following steps must be taken:• Drilling rigs and associated vehicles and equipment will require clean-down if advised by a FEO,or if the contractor is aware the rig has been operating in a weed risk area.• External contractors must provide the QGC Rig Drilling Supervisor with appropriatedocumentation to verify that vehicles and equipment have been cleaned before entering QGCleases.Pipeline ConstructionDuring survey mark-up, clear and grade, trenching and rehabilitation, the following steps must be taken:• Site environmental clearances will follow the same procedure as for pegging parties.• During the clear and grade, earthworks machinery and any vehicles entering the right of waymust be cleaned prior to entering and upon completion of works. All machinery arriving atQGC‟s right of way for clear and grade must be accompanied by a weed free declaration andshould be inspected by QGC FEOs prior to works commencing.• Once clear and grade of the right of way is complete, „Clean on Entry‟ points (COE) will beestablished along the right of way. Marked by signs, these will be the only access points formachinery and vehicles during pipeline trenching and construction. Machinery and vehiclesmust use COE and as long as they do not leave the right of way, gravel roads or sealed roadsand it has not rained, they will not require rewashing. COE will be located at points that interceptgravel or sealed roads so that minimal rewashing will be required. If a COE point is requiredaway from gravel or sealed roads, the access track will be constructed in such a way thatminimal rewashing will be required.Rehabilitation Works16 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011• Rehabilitation equipment will need to be cleaned down upon entry of right of way and uponcompletion of work.• FEOs will ensure from suppliers in writing, materials imported for rehabilitation including; topsoiland seed stock are weed free. i.e. weed hygiene declaration form as per guidelines set outbelow.• Machinery and equipment must be cleaned down before movements between gas fields as perthe following guidelines through designated COE points.OperationsAll QGC vehicles should be cleaned on a regular basis. During day to day operational visits byProduction Operators and other staff, vehicles will not require a clean-down as long as they do not leavesealed roads, gravel roads or well pads. The only exception to this is if a FEO recommends vehicles andequipment are to be cleaned upon leaving high risk areas. If a vehicle enters an area where it hasrecently received rain and is muddy, the vehicle should be cleaned as soon as possible.If a vehicle passes through a suspected weed infestation area, it is the driver‟s responsibility to ensure aclean-down is completed. For example, pulling onto the road verge to take a phone call might expose thevehicle to weeds such as lovegrass and mother of millions which are common in disturbance zones.Vehicle operators will be responsible for record keeping and are subject to audit.3.2.7 Reporting and MappingFollowing on-site weed identification and relevant consultations, weed location information in the form ofGPS coordinates or site location descriptions are to be provided to QGC FEOs with the location anddetails of weeds to then be entered into a QGC Weed Database and Protocol. Records will also be keptof what management action may have been taken after the record was made. Weed mapping informationwill be developed from the database and used in the development of site specific weed managementplans. Follow-up treatment, inspections and monitoring will be used to study the effectiveness of theseplans.3.3 Weed Hygiene for Vehicles and Machinery GuidelinesQGC‟s Environmental Guideline Weed Hygiene for Vehicles and Machinery (OPS-T-GDL-0002 Rev BFebruary 2011) has been prepared by QGC to include requirements outlined in the “Petroleum Industry(including coal seam methane gas) Minimising Pest Spread Guidelines” (PIMPSG) and “Queenslandchecklist for Clean-down Procedures”.17 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011An overarching framework that outlines the main approach to when QGC vehicles or machinery shouldbe cleaned and to what extent is provided in Appendix 4. This matrix is taken from the „PetroleumIndustry (including coal seam methane gas) Minimising Pest Spread Guidelines‟.3.3.1 General Vehicle Measures to Minimise Weed SpreadThe following general measures should be applied by all staff and contractors to minimise weed spread:• Vehicles to avoid leaving designated access tracks or roads;• Vehicles, machinery and equipment suspected of carrying weed seed will be cleaned followingthe recommendations listed below;• Project-specific weed management recommendations will be identified in each project‟sConstruction Environmental Management Plan and the project specific Land Access RulesOverview;• QGC fleet vehicles must be thoroughly washed once per week and interiors thoroughly cleanedonce per month;• Each QGC or contractor vehicle must have a current Weed Inspection Report or weeddeclaration when arriving on QGC land or leaving QGC private property for work purposes;• Ensure clothing and footwear are free of mud and seeds before stepping in vehicles;• Work in clean areas first or start in areas with the least amount of infestation during peak seedproduction times;• Secure loads that are suspected to contain weed seeds;• QGC field staff and contractors to receive basic weed identification training and be issued with aweed booklet;• Contact the Environment Team for any enquiries or for reporting of weed sightings;• Report weed sightings to FEO, record in QGC GIS Database and incorporate into QGC Protocol.3.3.2 Cleaning of Vehicles and MachineryClean-down requirements and procedures are detailed in QGC‟s Environmental Guideline WeedHygiene for Vehicles and Machinery (OPS-T-GDL-0002 Rev B February 2011). It is the responsibilityof every contractor/employee to keep their vehicles and machinery weed free. This includes regularlychecking and cleaning the vehicle, in particular when driving off-road. QGC employees using a fleetvehicle are expected to wash their car once per week and clean the interior monthly. This is the minimumrequirement.18 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011QGC‟s Environmental Guideline (OPS-T-GDL-0002 Rev B February 2011) indicates that two forms areto be used as part of the Weed Hygiene Procedures: - the Weed Hygiene Declaration Form issued by the Queensland Government; and the QGC Internal Weed Hygiene Inspection Report.The Weed Hygiene Declaration Form should generally be used every time a thing such as a vehicle orother piece of machinery is transported to a new area or property and on request and is further explainedin Section 3.3.3.The QGC Internal Weed Hygiene Inspection Report serves as a supplement form that should be used asa means of good company practice as it lists individual cleaned items and can only be signed by acompetent inspector. The weed hygiene inspection report should be used to manage land holder specificweed free requests.The location of QGC clean-down facilities will be determined in the operational planning phase for eachfield based on results of pre-clearance surveys, pegging parties, confirmation of the location ofinfrastructure and consultation with landowners. Currently numerous local community clean-downfacilities are located within the Gas Field region and are listed in Table 1.Table 1: Washdown facilities within the Gas Field regionChinchillaLocation Address Standard Requirements/CommentsChinchilla Saleyards,Slessar StreetTown water pressureNo under body washNo compressed airSupply your own hose 1 ¼”Kenya Kenya Guardhouse High pressure waterTaraWandoanKenya PondTara Saleyards,Surat Development RoadWandoan Saleyards,Windeyer RoadNo under body washNo compressed airHigh pressure waterUnder body washNo compressed airTown water pressureNo under body washNo compressed airOwn pump can be fitterHigh pressure waterNo under body washNo compressed airSupply your own hoseWindibri Windibri Warehouse High pressure waterNo under body washNo compressed airNotice required – Western DownsRegional Council,Chinchilla Service Centre, HeeneyStreet.Open 24 hoursNo notice requiredOpen 24 hoursNo notice requiredNotice required – Western DownsRegional Council,Tara Service Centre.Open 24 hoursNo notice requiredOpen 24 hoursNo notice required19 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 20113.3.3 Weed Hygiene DeclarationUnder the LP Act, it is an offence to supply a thing that is contaminated with a Class 1 or Class 2 weed.For Class 2 weeds, however, there is an exemption: A person does not breach the Act if they provide awritten notice that states that the thing is or may be contaminated with a Class 2 weed and hands out thiswritten notice to the receiver before the thing is supplied. “Written notice” in the sense of the Act is theWeed Hygiene Declaration (Appendix 5). This notice has to be filled out by the supplier prior to enteringthe property and contains information about the type of equipment that is supplied or transported and itscontamination status. Machinery, such as vehicles, is considered clean when no soil or organic matterthat may contain weeds or weed seeds is attached to the machinery.The Weed Hygiene Declaration provides information on two separate activities, Part 1- Sale or supply ofthings and Part 2 - Transport of contaminated things. Part 1 should be completed if a new vehicle istransported to a sensitive area or the purchase of materials (organic matter) requires proof of weed freesupply for example in rehabilitation or earthworks operations. Weed Hygiene Declarations are to be keptby both the supplier and receiver for five years for these activities. Part 2 should be completed whenmachinery or persons are moving from location to location or in QGC case, property to property. If thethings is deemed to be contaminated, the receiver can either refuse the thing or take precautions toprevent new weed infestations. Failure to supply a written notice can incur a penalty of up to $40 000.3.3.4 Weed Hygiene Inspection ReportQGC provides a company internal Weed Hygiene Inspection Report as a supplement to the WeedHygiene Declaration Form (Appendix 6). The Weed Hygiene Inspection Report itemises the cleaned andinspected locations in detail and gives comprehensive information about the vehicle/machinery. It isrecommended because it ensures proof of process and due diligence in the weed managementprocedure. The form provides evidence for future reference should a situation relating to the spread ofweeds arise to acknowledge the steps taken on weed control (QGC Environmental Guideline: WeedHygiene for Vehicles and Machinery. OPS-T-GDL-00002, Rev B February 2011).The Hygiene Inspection Report can only be signed by an inspector who has been trained and deemedcompetent by successfully completing the courses RTD2312A and RTD2313A provided by GreeningAustralia and other organisations. Authorised Vehicle Inspectors can be QGC or third party contractors.Third party certifications are currently conducted under certain circumstances such as cases wherelandholders raise significant concerns.The following table provides information on authorised third party weed inspectors current at the time ofreport preparation (Table 2).

The LP Act and the Land Protection (Pest and Stock RouteManagement) Regulation 2003 (LP Reg.) provide legislative measures to manage pests and address theimpacts they have on the economy, the environment and society. The Department of Employment,Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) administers the pest provisions of the Act and itsregulation.There are three classes of declared animals under the Land Protection (Pest and Stock RouteManagement) Act 2002. These animals are targeted for control because they have, or could have,serious economic, environmental or social impacts. Class 1, 2 and 3 declared animals are listed inAppendix 8.Class 1 pests are not commonly present in Queensland and, if introduced, would cause anadverse economic, environmental or social impact. Class 1 pests established in Queensland aresubject to eradication from the state; if such a pest is sighted it must be reported to the DEEDI.Class 2 pests are established in Queensland and have, or could have, an adverse economic,environmental or social impact. Landowners must take reasonable steps to keep their land freeof Class 2 pest.Class 3 pests are well established in Queensland and have an adverse economic, environmentalor social impact. Landowners are not required to control Class 3 pests unless the land isadjacent to an environmentally significant area. There are a number of environmentallysignificant areas in and around the QGC Gas Field tenements as shown in the QGC Gas Fieldsand Environmentally Significant Areas map contained in Appendix 2.Under the Local Law provisions of the Local Government Act 1993, a local government can declare anyanimals not declared under the LP Act and enforce their control. For example, Eastern Grey Kangaroo,Macropus giganteus, is not a declared pest, yet is a perceived pest when in overabundance. Nondeclaredanimals of concern when in excessive numbers may have significant economic and social35 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011impacts by competing for food or destroying crops, as well as environmental impacts, including reductionof biodiversity, impacts on the landscape and degradation of water quality.The DEEDI recommends control and reporting on non-declared pest animals. Management of thesepests requires coordination and they are subject to programs led by regional government, industry and/orlandowners.In Queensland, the Fisheries Act 1994 (Fisheries Act) is the relevant legislation regarding noxious fishpests. The Fisheries Act provides legislative measures to manage pest fish and address the impacts theyhave on the economy, the environment and society. The DEEDI administers the noxious pest provisionsof the Act and its regulation.In line with the federal government, under the Fisheries Act 1994 the state government can declare anyfish that is or may become a pest to native aquatic communities. For example, European, Mirror and KoiCarp, Cyprinus carpio, is a declared noxious fish and may not be kept, sold or brought into the state andmay not be released or used as bait in Queensland waters. Landowners (including QGC) are required tocontrol any possible release of noxious fish from their impoundments.4.2 General Pest and Waste Management and Monitoring Measures4.2.1 Preliminary Pest IdentificationPreliminary pest surveys may be undertaken, usually in conjunction with vegetation surveys, to identifythe abundance and distribution of pest species across QGC tenements and adjacent lands. Preclearancesurveys are also being undertaken across the QGC Gas Fields (mainly through ProjectEnvironmental Clearances) by Field Environment Officers (FEO) that identify and record the presence offeral animals. This information will then be included into QGC‟s Constraint Planning and FieldDevelopment Protocol (the Protocol).Incidental identification of pest distribution such as signs of feral pig activity may be discovered duringthese preliminary surveys. High abundance and distribution of pest species will be noted and may beused to generate special conditions of access or controls for gas field activities. A survey of QGC ownedtenements has been conducted and incidental identification of pest activities has been recorded.Information from these surveys has been accounted for in this document.4.2.2 Land Owner/Manager ConsultationsQGC representatives undertake consultations with landowners on a regular basis. Preliminaryconsultation forms such as the Property Evaluation Reports (PER) have been developed for land ownerconsultations and weed and pest distributions and management programs are covered in these reports.Information such as the presence of feral animals on the property or neighbouring properties and anyferal animal management programs in place will be recorded. Information on distribution of feral animals36 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011and control programs are to be collated and integrated into QGC management plans and the Protocol toensure feral animal data is captured spatially.4.2.3 Regional CouncilsConsultation with Western Downs, Maranoa and Banana Regional Councils will be conducted in regardsto regional pest management plans and areas of concern regarding these issues. Taroom Shire Council(now included in Banana Regional Council) adopted a Pest Management Plan in 2006, identifying highpriority pest species including; Locusts, Wild Dogs/Dingoes and Feral Pigs. The programs includedmaintaining baiting provisions, coordinating landholder baiting programs and public awareness exercises.QGC will work with local governments in the implementation of feral animal control programs where theyare the landowner or it is an area directly impacted by QGC operations.4.2.4 Stakeholder Organisations ConsultationsThe Condamine Alliance and Queensland Murray-Darling Committee are two stakeholder organisationsthat work in the region of QGC‟s Gas Field tenements and have produced plans on weed and pestmanagement for the area. Consultation with these and other stakeholder organisations are to beconducted on a regular basis to discuss and identify priority areas of concern and pest managementprograms in relation to integrating QGC management plans.4.2.5 Pest Identification during OperationsThe overall abundance and diversity of pest species across QGC tenements and adjacent lands will beidentify during field surveys. High risk pests or areas will be noted and may be used to generate specialconditions of control during gas field activities. QGC infrastructure is audited by the Environmental Teamannually and additional follow-up field surveys will be conducted at this time. All QGC contractors andstaff are encouraged to immediately report the location of pest sightings and provide a photo wherepossible of the species to a FEO. Such reports should be made using a QGC Hazard Observation(HAZOB) Booklet. The FEOs will then liaise with the relevant local government pest officer and decidethe most appropriate control method or program. Only certified operators can be used to control pestinfestations and they are most effective when undertaken across properties (rather than one property at atime). Landowners will be notified prior to any pest animal control being undertaken.4.2.6 Accommodation Camp Waste ManagementThe risk of increased pest species populations due to accommodation camps in the Gas Fields issignificant. To control the associated risks with large accommodation camps, waste managementprocedures will be produced and monitoring of camp environs for pest species will be conducted.Procedures will predominately focus on reducing the amount and access to food waste by pest species.Wild dog, feral pig, fox and vermin pest species populations will be monitored near the camps and results37 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011collated to allow development of control programs for these species. Control of pest species will be inaccordance with waste management guidelines and where possible integrated with other programs in theregion.4.2.7 Reporting and MappingFollowing on-site pest identification and relevant consultations, pest location information in the form ofGPS coordinates or site location descriptions are to be provided to QGC FEOs with the location anddetails of the pest to then be entered into the QGC Protocol. Records will also be kept of whatmanagement action may have been taken after the record was made. Pest animal mapping informationwill be developed from the database and used to assist in decision making. Follow-up treatment,inspections and monitoring will be used to study the effectiveness of these plans.4.3 Pest Species Recorded or with Potential to Occur in the Gas FieldsPest animal species recorded or with potential to occur in the Gas Fields are listed in Table 4.

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011pasture degradation on not only QGC land but also neighbouring properties. The most effective solutionfor rabbit control as prescribed in the Rabbit Control in Queensland handbook, published by the formerDPI&F Queensland (now DEEDI), is the destruction of warrens with machinery and then as a „mop up‟,the controlled shooting of the remaining animals. The destroyed warren or refuge areas should then befenced off. These techniques, if carried out properly, should lead to a long term control of the rabbitpopulation, in the area, especially if carried out in conjunction with neighbouring land owners.Consultations in regards to the Darling Downs-Moreton Rabbit Board Fence have been conducted andare continuing between QGC and DEEDI.A Rabbit distribution map produced by Biosecurity Queensland, is provided in Appendix 9. QGC willparticipate in any Rabbit control programs that may be coordinated by local government or otherstakeholder in consultation with affected landowners. QGC Gas Field distribution maps will be producedas field distribution data is continually collated.4.4.2 Management of Wild Dogs and DingoesPlate 29: Dingo behind fencewww.dpi.qld.gov.au/4790_8290.htmPlate 30: Dingowww.dpi.qld.gov.au/4790_8290.htmThere are several techniques for the management of wild dogs mentioned by the DEEDI including theuse of pesticides in bait, trapping, exclusion fencing, shooting and guard animals (DEEDI July 2010a).Wild dogs and dingoes are not currently considered a significant threat on QGC tenements. Howeverstate government statistics show the number of wild dogs is growing rapidly in the area and is becomingmore of an issue. The DEEDI considers shooting by professionals to be of low concern in regard toanimal welfare and is considered an appropriate control method. QGC will be taking part in a DalbyRegional Council initiated Feral Dog Baiting Program. QGC will engage in consultation with BiosecurityQueensland in regards to future baiting programs.40 of 100

The recommended strategy for the control of pigs is trapping, andwhilst this is time consuming it is acknowledged to be the best solution in terms of welfare and controlavailable. The traps can be made with pig specific triggers that ensure that other local fauna is notaffected. QGC will engage in consultation with Biosecurity Queensland and other stakeholders in regardsto any future Feral Pig baiting programs.A Feral Pig distribution map produced by Biosecurity Queensland, is provided in Appendix 9.

The control of foxes should suit individual circumstances. In some instances it may bedesirable for foxes to remain because of their ability to control other pests. Options for the control of thefox include poisoning, trapping, shooting, guard animals and exclusion fencing (DEEDI July 2010c).A Fox distribution map produced by Biosecurity Queensland, is provided in Appendix 9.

European Carp are present in the Condamine-Balonne catchment and Mosquitofish are widespread throughout Australia. As such they will be managedwithin regulations on a case by case basis. Prevention of infestation and multidisciplinary controlmethods are the best way to control the spread of aquatic pests in the gas field region. Care must betaken around any water impoundments and water releases from these bodies in regards to the possibletranslocation of pest species.44 of 100

Pest and Weed Management PlanRev 0May 2011Waterways and impoundments of the Gas Fields will be monitored for possible infestations of noxiouspests. Staff and contractors are encouraged to report any sightings of these species.5 Monitoring and Review5.1 Roles and ResponsibilitiesAll QGC contractors and staff will be trained in basic weed and pest identification and encouraged toimmediately report the location of these sightings, with a photo of the species where possible, to a FEO.All QGC vehicles will be issued with a weed identification booklet to allow all staff to identify weedsduring their daily duties. Such reports should be made using a QGC Hazard Observation (HAZOB)Booklet. The FEOs will then decide the control method most appropriate and delegate this task to theappropriate person. Only licensed Chemcert operators can spray weeds as there are health and safetyrisks associated with the use of weed control chemicals. A list of Chemcert licensed operators can beobtained from the FEO or the field technical assistants.Personnel responsibilities in regards to identification, monitoring and collation of weed and pest speciesare listed in Table 5.Table 5: Identification, Monitoring and Collation Responsibilities for Weed and Pest SpeciesRoleResponsibilityField Environmental Officer or SiteEcologistInspect sites for weeds and pests during peggingpartiesEnsure risk classification is provided in theclearance reportProvide guidance and direction forvehicle/machinery clean-downsReceive identification reports of weeds and pestsand enter into QGC databaseDetermine appropriate management actions afteridentification is madeProvide guidance and direction to QGC staff andcontractors in relation to weed and pestrequirementsConstruction and ProjectSupervisorsChemical Application OperatorsEnsure weed control requirements are communicated tocontractors and enforced.

Monitoring of weed and pest infestations within disturbed areas will occur at least monthly duringconstruction and then quarterly for a period of two years following construction. Appropriate weed andpest control measures will be applied. Following the two year period, the frequency of monitoring will bereconsidered dependent on the success of control measures and the level of infestations.Weed and pest management is an integrated and evolving process and amendments to strategies mustoccur regularly as new information becomes available and new control techniques are developed. Weedstrategies also need to be amended when the pattern of weed infestation changes. It is proposed that inthe event new significant weed species are discovered within the Gas Field area or along associatedaccess roads, these management strategies be reviewed. Results of monitoring will assist in identifyingways to improve weed and pest management.46 of 100
