1 Introduction

1.1 Background The Design and Construction Joint Venture comprising of CPB Contractors Pty Ltd, BAM International Australia

Pty Ltd, Ghella Pty Ltd and UGL Engineering Pty Ltd (CBGU D&C JV or CBGU) is responsible for delivering the

Cross River Rail (CRR) Project (the Project) on behalf of the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority (the Delivery

Authority).

This Weed and Pest Management Plan should be read in conjunction with the Nature Conservation

Management Plan (NCMP) and the Project’s overarching Construction Environment Management Plan

(CEMP).

The CEMP provides specific details regarding the background of the Project, the scope of the Project and the

staging and timing of key milestones associated with the construction of the Project.

1.2 Context This Construction Weed and Pest Management Plan (WPMP) forms part of the CEMP developed for the

Project. The WPMP describes how CBGU will:

• Manage weeds and pests

• Meet the General Biosecurity Obligations under the Biosecurity Act 2014 and minimise introduction and

spread of pest species during construction of the Project.

1.3 Objectives The objectives of this WPMP are to achieve the environmental outcomes stated in the CEMP through the

implementation of site-specific mitigation measures. It will also:

• Nominate the Project’s monitoring and reporting requirements in relation to weeds and pests

• Ensure controls and procedures are implemented during construction activities to avoid, minimise or

manage potential adverse impacts from weeds and pests

• Ensure appropriate measures are implemented to compliance with the General Biosecurity Obligation

under the Biosecurity Act 2014 and Queensland Rail procedures

• Monitor the effects of management and mitigation measures

• Provide the framework for a weed and pest monitoring programme to be developed, implemented and

audited at each worksite so that Project-related impacts on local stakeholders and the environment can

be avoided, or minimised and managed.

1.4 Legislative Framework Delivery and implementation of the Project must comply with the environmental legislation, guidelines and

standards specified in the CEMP (as updated to reflect any changes current at commencement of each Project

phase) and any additional requirements specified in the conditions of approval.

2 Required Outcomes The following environmental outcomes must be achieved throughout construction of the Project. The

environmental outcomes may be achieved by meeting the performance criteria in this WPMP, as part of the

Nature Conservation Management Plan.

2.1 Environmental Outcomes The following environmental outcomes in relation to weed and pest management are to be achieved for the

Project:

• Natural asset values of open space areas near Project Works are maintained

• Construction activities do not result in the introduction or spread of weed and pest species

• Control the spread of existing weed and pest species within CBGU construction precincts

• Comply with the General Biosecurity Obligations pursuant to the Biosecurity Act 2014

• Comply with Queensland Rail’s Pest Management Framework, Fire Ant Management Plan and Managing

Weed Spread Procedure

• Maintain the current biodiversity of the Project precincts.

2.2 Performance Criteria The following performance criteria must be achieved throughout construction of the Project:

• Ensure health and safe of personnel working on the Cross River Rail project

• The contractor must meet the General Biosecurity Obligations under the Biosecurity Act 2014 in respect

to managing weeds and pest including:

— Taking all responsible and practical steps to prevent or minimise applicable biosecurity risks;

— Minimising the likelihood of causing a biosecurity event, and limiting the consequences if such an

event is caused; and

— Preventing or minimising the harmful effects a risk could have, and not do anything that might make

any harmful effects worse.

• Pest species prohibited and restricted under the Biosecurity Act 2014 are not spread or introduced during

construction

• Restricted weed and pest species are appropriately managed in accordance with the Department of

Agriculture and Fisheries Species Information Sheets (https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/business-

priorities/biosecurity/invasive-plants-animals/fact-sheets)

• Movement of Fire Ant Carrier from within the Fire Ant Biosecurity Zones occurs with an approved

Biosecurity Instrument Permit

3 Site Inspections There have been a number of flora and fauna surveys conducted since 2018 within the Project works area

including:

• Cross River Rail (Tunnels, Stations and Development Package) Habitat and Weed Assessment – early

works construction prepared by Cardno (23 September 2019)

• Fauna and Habitat Assessment for the Cross River Rail Project Dutton Park to Bowen Hills Section

prepared by BAAM (26 September 2018)

• Weed Audit for the for the Cross River Rail Project Dutton Park to Bowen Hills Section prepared by BAAM

(26 September 2018)

• Vegetation Assessment and Flora Report for the Cross River Rail Project Dutton Park to Bowen Hills

Section prepared by BAMM (26 September 2018)

• Preliminary Tree Assessment for the Cross River Rail prepared by Oberonia Pty Ltd on behalf of BAAM (9

October 2018)

Cardno’s habitat and weed assessments (2019) were completed at the four precincts, and involved on foot

survey of those trees identified in the relevant Tree Plans for each precinct as to ‘remove’ or ‘prune’. The

weed assessment was completed concurrently to the fauna habitat assessment and included targeted

searches for restricted weed species listed under the Biosecurity Act 2014. Where identified, restricted weed

species were mapped using a hand-held GPS device.

BAAM’s Fauna and habitat assessment (2018) field survey primarily focussed on assessing habitat values for

significant fauna species or breeding places. However, a Weed Audit of the Project area was also undertaken.

This involved traversing the Project area on foot over four days to quantify and map the location of weeds in

the Project area. The field survey included a systematic search of all vegetation that will be directly impacted

as part of construction works across the Project works area.

3.1 Weeds A total of 11 restricted pest plants have been identified within the Project area to date. Table 4 below details

the restricted pest plant species declared under the Biosecurity Act 2014 (Biosecurity Act).

The highly disturbed and urbanised nature of the broader Project area has facilitated the introduction and

spread of numerous introduced species. However, with respect to the TSD package, it is relevant to note that

most of the weed species listed below were observed along road and rail easements adjacent and within the

Project area, with fewer occurring within the TSD precincts. Notwithstanding this, all species identified across

the broader Project area have been listed below, and are addressed throughout this WPMP because of the

potential for weed introduction and spread, despite the relatively low abundance and diversity of weeds

within the TSD precincts.

3.2 Pests/introduced fauna In accordance with the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) Fire Ant mapping, the Project area is

not mapped within a Fire Ant Biosecurity Zone and Fire Ants were not recorded during site inspections.

However, the potential remains for the spread of Fire ants through the importation and use of material

carrying Fire Ants, as such, it will be necessary for the Project to implement measure to address this potential

risk.

A total of nine introduced fauna species were identified within the broader Project area during the site

inspections completed by BAAM in 2018. One of the species recorded within the broader Project area, the

Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a restricted pest under the Biosecurity Act. Table 5 below details the location,

category and source of the record for the Red Fox.

4 Impacts and Mitigation Measures

4.1 Impacts

4.1.1 Weeds

Potential impacts of invasive weed species include loss of habitat for native animals, loss of biodiversity and

construction safety hazards. Specific impacts known to be associated with each of the 11 restricted weed

species are listed in Table 6, and species information sheets can be found at

https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/business-priorities/biosecurity/invasive-plants-animals/fact-sheets.

Table 6 Potential impacts of restricted pest plant species within the Project area

Species Common Name Potential impacts

Asparagus aethiopicus Ground Asparagus Forms a thick mat of tuberous roots and grows

particularly well in shaded areas and in sandy soils.

The dense growth of this species may form

impenetrable thickets that smother native

understorey plants and inhibit their regeneration,

thereby transforming the ground layer of native

plant communities (Biosecurity Qld, 2016).

Baccharis halimifolia Groundsel Bush Thick stands can inhibit the movement of livestock

and reduce the productivity and carrying capacity

of pastures. The air-borne pollen, which is

produced in massive quantities for a short period

of the year, is suspected of causing allergies in

humans. The seed 'fluff' can also be a nuisance in

urban areas, where it sticks to insect screens and

accumulates in other areas. (Biosecurity Qld,

2016).

Bryophyllum delagoense Mother-of-millions Poisonous to livestock and humans. Cattle deaths

resulting from ingestion of this species are quite

common, particularly in south-eastern Queensland

(Biosecurity Qld, 2016).

Celtis sinensis Chinese Elm It is a fast-growing tree that appears to favour clay

soils associated with alluvial floodplains, creeks and

gullies. It forms dense infestations, particularly

along creek banks and prevents the regeneration

of native vegetation. It also invades open areas

within forests that have been cleared or otherwise

disturbed. Dense infestations of this species use

large amounts of water and also have the potential

to affect populations of native animals through

habitat destruction (Biosecurity Qld, 2016).



9


Cinnamomum camphora Camphor Laurel It most frequently germinates under fences and

powerlines, where birds tend to rest and deposit

the seed. As it grows in these locations it can push

over fences and disrupt power facilities. Mature

camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora) trees

develop a massive root system which are known to

block drains and crack concrete pavements. The

fruit, leaves, and roots are also toxic to humans if

ingested in sufficient doses (Biosecurity Qld, 2016).

Lantana camara Lantana Forms dense thickets that smother native

vegetation. Some varieties are poisonous to stock.

Thickets are impenetrable for animals, people and

vehicles (Business Qld, 2016).

Dolichandra unguis-cati Cats-claw Creeper Has the ability to completely smother native

vegetation, even growing up over tall trees, and

many bushland areas in eastern Australia have

serious infestations of this species. It can grow as a

ground cover along the forest floor of scrub

remnants and can form a thick carpet of stems and

leaves which chokes out small existing plants and

prevents the germination of all other species

(Biosecurity Qld, 2016).

Opuntia stricta Prickly Pear Vigorous in hot, dry conditions, causing other

plants to lose vigour or die. Competes and invades

pastures. Impedes stock movement and mustering.

Can harm animals and prevent them from eating

(Business Qld, 2016).

Schinus terebinthifolius Broad-leaved Pepper Tree Forms dense thickets that can choke native plants.

Establishes in disturbed bushland. Competes with

ground covers and shrubs, and tolerates shade.

Spreads rapidly in waterlogged or poorly drained

soils. Contains toxic resins that can affect human

and animal health (Business Qld, 2016).

Spathodea campanulata African Tulip Tree Infests gullies, vegetation around waterways, and

disturbed rainforest, where it out-competes native

vegetation. Flowers are toxic to native stingless

bees. Natural regeneration affected as bees

pollinate native vegetation (Business Qld, 2016).

Tecoma stans Yellow Bells Readily invades native bushland and roadsides

(Business Qld, 2016).

4.1.2 Pests

Potential impacts of invasive pest species include safety hazards, erosion and loss of biodiversity and habitat.

Specific impacts known to be associated with the Red fox are listed in Table 7, and a species information sheet

can be found at https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/business-priorities/biosecurity/invasive-plants-animals/fact-

sheets.

Table 7 Red Fox Impacts


Vulpes vulpes Red fox Greatest threat to long-term survival of many small marsupial

species in Australia.

Can significantly affect ground-nesting birds and turtles.

Preys on small or young animals, lambs, poultry and livestock,

despite an abundance of food.

Can spread diseases to domestic animals.

Further, potential impacts associated with species which may be present within the Project area include:

• Safety hazards

• Nuisance to humans

• Displacement of native fauna

• Habitat loss and fragmentation

• Predation of local native fauna

• Hygiene risk around amenity blocks and food preparation areas

• Erosion from trampling, digging and uprooting ground and vegetation

• Carry and/or spread diseases.

4.2 Management and Mitigation Measures The following mitigation measures should be implemented to achieve the nominated environmental

outcomes and performance criteria. Relevant approvals and mitigation measures which are required to

undertake the task will be compile in site specific documents.

4.2.1 General Biosecurity Obligations

Under the Biosecurity Act, individuals and organisations whose activities pose a biosecurity risk must:

• Take all reasonable and practical steps to prevent or minimise each biosecurity risk

• Minimise the likelihood of causing a ‘biosecurity event’, and limit the consequences if such an event is

caused

• Prevent or minimise the harmful effects a risk could have, and not do anything that might make any

harmful effects worse.




11

The Project area contains restricted biosecurity matters (weeds and pests) including:

• One Category 3,4,5 & 6 pest fauna species

• 11 Category 3 weed species.

4.2.2 General Weed Prevention Measures

The following general procedures may be implemented as required to meet the GBO when engaging in activities that pose a biosecurity risk, in a manner that is consistent with Queensland Rail’s Safety & Environment Management System:

• Incorporate general awareness of invasive weeds by encouraging identification, awareness and reporting

processes during toolbox/prestart meetings.

• Avoiding driving through weed infested areas

• Avoiding driving off road in areas of known weed infestation

• Avoiding slashing and other works in infested areas during peak weed seeding times

• Maintaining access tracks, and adjacent buffer zones

• Implementation of weed control programs to eradicate high priority isolated infestations

• Commencing work in clean (weed free) areas first then working towards and then within infested areas

to limit spread

• Sourcing material and products including soil, from weed free areas

• Installing temporary fencing to isolate weed infested areas

• Ensure clothing and footwear are free of mud and seeds prior to leaving known weed infestation areas

• Ensuring that vehicles and machinery are free of weed, mud/soil and plant material prior to leaving

known weed infestation areas

• Ensuring that all vehicles are cleaned on a regular basis

4.2.2.1 Disposal and Transport of Restricted Plants

Category 3 restricted matters must not be distributed or disposed of unless the distribution or disposal is

performed in the way prescribed under a regulation. The prescribed disposal for Category 3 restricted matter

- invasive plants includes:

• Burying the matter in the ground at a depth that ensures any seeds or vegetative material being disposed

of cannot grow; or

• Transporting the matter directly to a waste facility if the matter is—

— in a sealed container or a covered vehicle; or

— covered in a way that prevents the restricted matter from being lost or released during transport; or

— sealing the matter in plastic and leaving the matter in the sun until any vegetative material being

disposed has decomposed.


12

4.2.3 Specific Weed Control Measures

Specific weed control measures for restricted weed present within the broader Project area have been

detailed in Table 8 below. The control methods will be selected for individual outbreaks within the Project

area, by the contractor as per the Species information sheets found at https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/business-

priorities/biosecurity/invasive-plants-animals/fact-sheets..

4.2.3.1 Manual/physical Control

Physical control is the removal of weeds by physical or mechanical means, such as mowing, grazing, mulching,

tilling, burning or by hand. The method used often depends on the area of weeds to be managed, what the

land is used for, physical characteristics and the value of the land.

4.2.3.2 Mechanical Control

Mechanical control is the use of powered tools and machinery to manage weeds and is best suited to larger

infestations. Care should be taken to minimise soil disturbance.

4.2.3.3 Biological Control

Biological control involves the use of insects or pathogens (diseases) that affect the health of weeds. Usually,

these biocontrol agents are from the same country of origin as the weed species. Given the relatively small

infestations and the time delay for biological controls to work, this method is not considered practical for the

Project.

4.2.3.4 Herbicide Control

Herbicides control weeds either by speeding up, stopping, or changing the plant's normal growth patterns.

This affects the plants by drying out the leaves or stems, or by making it drop its leaves.

Foliar Spray

In foliar spraying, the herbicide is diluted with water or diesel at a specific rate, and sprayed over the foliage

to point of run-off (until every leaf is wetted, but not dripping). This method is most suited to shrubs, grasses

and dense vines less than 6m tall. Advantages include quickness and economy. Disadvantages include the

potential for spray drift and off-target damage.

Cut Stump

The cut stump method involves cutting off the weed completely at its base (no higher than 15cm from the

ground) using a chainsaw, axe, brushcutter or machete. A herbicide solution is then sprayed or painted onto

the exposed surface of the cut stump, with the objective of destroying the stump and the root system. It is

essential that the herbicide solution is applied as soon as the trunk or stem is cut. A delay of more than 15

seconds for water-based herbicides and 1 minute for diesel-soluble herbicides will give poor results.

Stem Injection

The stem injection method involves drilling or cutting through bark into the sapwood tissue of woody plants

and trees to transport the herbicide throughout the plant. It is essential to apply the herbicide immediately

(within 15 seconds of drilling or cutting), as stem injection relies on the active uptake and growth of the weed

to move the herbicide through its tissue.

Basal Bark




13

This method involves mixing an oil-soluble herbicide in diesel and spraying the full circumference of the trunk

or stem of the weed. Basal bark spraying is suitable for:

• thin-barked woody plants

• undesirable trees

• saplings, regrowth, and multi-stemmed shrubs and trees.

Basal barking will usually destroy weeds as long as the bark is not wet or too thick for the diesel to penetrate.

4.2.4 General Pest Prevention measures

Pest animals within the Project area are expected to be relatively minor. However, a Class 3, 4, 5 and 6

restricted matter was recorded, being a Red Fox. Under the Biosecurity Act, a person has the following


14

restrictions placed upon them when managing Red Fox including the invasive animal must not be distributed

either by sale or gift, or released into the environment and must not be moved, kept or fed.

With respect to the Project, the most appropriate General Pest Prevention Measure relates to waste

management. Specifically, measures should be implemented during construction in accordance with the

Waste Management Plan to prevent inadvertent ‘feeding’ of this species. This would include storage of food

wastes in appropriately sealed containers and ensuring that there is regular and scheduled removal of

putrescible wastes for the duration of the Project.

4.2.5 Specific Pest Control Measures

Current options available for control of foxes in Queensland include poisoning, trapping, shooting, guard

animals and exclusion fencing. The choice of control method should suit the individual circumstances and be

in accordance with the Species Information Sheet found at https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/business-

priorities/biosecurity/invasive-plants-animals/fact-sheets. Given the nature of the Project and the relatively

low infestation of Pest species, it is not considered necessary at this time to implement specific fox control

measures such as those detailed below. However, should monitoring show an increase in fox abundance in

and around the Project area, then the appropriate measure should be investigated and implemented.

4.2.5.1 Trapping

The success of trapping (using soft-catch traps and snares, not the illegal unmodified serrated steel-jawed

traps) depends on the skill of the operator. Trapping is predominantly used in urban areas where poisoning

and shooting are restricted, where there is high risk to native species, or for live-capture research purposes.

4.2.5.2 Poisoning

Presently there are three poisons legally available for fox control in Queensland—sodium fluoroacetate (1080)

strychnine and para amino propiophenone (PAPP). In the highly urbanised environment of the Project area it

will be necessary to ensure that off-target risks are accounted for by ensuring highly targeted deployment of

baits around precincts that have been fenced to prevent domestic animals entering them.

4.2.6 Fire Ants

The Project area is mapped as a Fire Ant Biosecurity Zone 2. The Queensland Rail, Fire Ant Management Plan

(FAMP) outlines the requirements and control strategies for CBGU in order to meet the legislative and

regulatory provisions established for the control and management of Fire Ants in Queensland.

With respect to managing Fire Ant biosecurity risks, this includes export and import of material, CBGU should:

• Manage fire ant risks under its control

• Take all reasonable and practical steps to prevent or minimise the spread of Fire Ants

• Minimise the likelihood of causing fire ant outbreaks, and limit the consequences if such an event is

caused

• Prevent or minimise the adverse effects of Fire Ants on Queensland’s economy, industries and

environment when carrying out Queensland Rail activities in fire ant Biosecurity Zones

• Not do anything that exacerbates the spread or impact of Fire Ants and not omitting to do something if

omitting to do that thing would exacerbate a Fire Ant risk.

These processes are to prevent the introduction of Fire Ants and other pests on Queensland Rail property.




15

As Fire Ants are susceptible to transportation due to human activity, it is good practice to inspect all

machinery and equipment that enters the Project area from within or outside a Fire Ant Biosecurity Zone.

If material is required to be move, the following is to occur:

• All material exported from the Project Area (Fire Ant Biosecurity Zone 2) is permitted to move within

zone 2 only

• If movement is required to be move within Fire Ant Biosecurity Zone 1, a Biosecurity Instrument Permit

(BIP) will be required

• Soil can be moved from its original place in Zone 2 directly to a waste facility in Zone 2. Movement to a

waste facility within Zone 1 requires a BIP

• All material imported into the Project Area is to be accompanied by a certificate declaring where the

material has been sourced and that it is not from a Fire Ant Biosecurity Zone or it is accompanied with a

Biosecurity Instrument Permit if it has come from a Fire Ant Biosecurity Zone.

If the soil is moving within Fire Ant Biosecurity Zones, one or more of the following must be undertaken:

• Treat soil prior to excavation

— It is recommended that a licensed pest manager should be engaged two weeks prior to the

anticipated excavation date to:

• Inspected the area to be excavated – if fire ants are found report the occurrence

• Undertake direct nest injection (DNI) of any fire ant nests

• Treat the site with an appropriate bait in order to prevent fire ants becoming established in the

area to be excavated

• Take soil from depth

— A newly established, or young fire any colony, is often located within the first metre of soil.

Removing the top one metre of soil at a site, undertaking the necessary excavation and then

replacing the original top one metre of soil may reduce ant activity and the risk of ant movement to

another location.

— The top one metre of soil must not be missed with the soil being moved from the site. The top one

metre should be retained on site or taken to a waste facility (refer to the zone restrictions above).

— This method is not recommended for areas where the soil type is soft, loamy or sandy as fire ant

nests can extend further than one metre below the surface in areas with these soil types

• Store soil appropriately

— If the soil will be stored on the property for more than 24 hours, you must use either of the

following storage options:

• Off ground and covered (e.g. in a shed, under a shade cloth of tarpaulin

• On ground, and covered, either on:

– Concrete or bitumen (no cracks)


16

– A barrier that cannot be penetrated by fire ants (e.g. 200 micron unperforated plastic

sheeting

– Compacted ground (other than sand) that has been treated with an appropriate chemical

before storage

• Disturb soil during or after excavation

— Any untreated soil scheduled to be taken off site should be disturbed before it is moved to another

location.

— Storing soil must either comply with the storage requirements, or disturb any stockpiles periodically

to prevent fire ants becoming established. Disturbance means undertaking an activity to vigorously

turn, crush, wash or screen the stockpile:

• Every 21 days, and

• 24 hours prior to moving the material to another location.

Fire ant Biosecurity Zone maps and supporting information on the suburbs within each zone should be

displayed in common areas and distributed to relevant staff (refer to Appendix A). Fire Ant Biosecurity Zone

maps and supporting information can also be obtained from the following sources:

• Biosecurity Queensland

• Queensland Rail Fire Ant co-ordinator/s

• Queensland Rail route maps.

A training register must be maintained by CBGU to record training attendance and currency of training for

each staff, contractor and visitor.

5.3 Communication Communication strategies including internal communication, external and Government Authority

consultation, and stakeholder and community liaison must be undertaken in accordance with the CEMP and

the CSEP.


18

5.4 Incidents and Emergencies The immediate response to all incidents is to make the area safe and undertake measures to prevent further

environmental harm. The Environment and Sustainability Manager, Shared Services Director and Project

Director should be notified immediately in the event of an environmental incident.

Further details regarding Incident Notification, have been outlined in the overarching CEMP.

5.5 Notifications Under the GBO, CBGU and/or any of its contractors must report Category 1 (i.e. fire ants) and Category 2

restricted pest species listed under the Biosecurity Act to Biosecurity Queensland within 24 hours by phone on

13 25 23.

Should contractors become aware of suspected fire ants, a fire ant nest, or materials containing fire ants, they

must report the issue to Biosecurity Queensland, within 24 hours:

• By phone on 13 25 23; or

• Online: http://www.daf.qld.gov.au/plants/weeds-pest-animals-ants/invasive-ants/fire-ants/forms-and-

6 Inspections, Monitoring, Auditing and Reporting

6.1.1 Environmental Inspections

CBGU will undertake environmental inspections to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of environmental

controls.

If any maintenance and/or deficiencies in environmental controls or in the standard of environmental

performance is observed, they will be recorded on the Project’s Environmental Checklist. A register of all

corrective actions including due date, closed out date, item description and responsible person will be

recorded in such a way as to be able to be generated into a register when required.

Inspections are to be undertaken as nominated in the CEMP. For the purpose of this WPMP the following

inspections are considered necessary:

• Inspections of work areas and lunch rooms for correct putrescible waste disposal

• Inspections of machinery and materials being brought into the Project Area for Restricted pests (e.g. Fire

ants, Pest Plants).

6.1.2 Environmental Monitoring

Monitoring will be undertaken at the Project precincts to validate the to measure the effectiveness of

environmental controls and implementation of this WPMP. The monitoring also helps in addressing any

potential Community Complaints that may be made. The monitoring requirements specific to weeds and pests

are outlined below.

6.1.2.1 Fire Ants

Fire Ants are classified as a category 1 restricted matter under the Biosecurity Act. Therefore, all personal

must remain vigilant for potential fire ant incursions Anyone who becomes aware of suspected fire ants, a fire

ant nest, or materials containing fire ants, must report the issue to Biosecurity Queensland, within 24 hours

either by phone on 13 25 23; or Online:

• http://www.daf.qld.gov.au/plants/weeds-pest-animals-ants/invasive-ants/fireants/forms-and-

notifications/report-fire-ants

Visual surveillance, comprising inspections and monitoring, is a mandatory requirement when transporting

any potential Fire Ant carriers including soil and ballast from within a Fire Ant biosecurity zone to the Project

Area. As part of the environmental due diligence, an environmental officer will conduct on-site inspections as

well as monthly follow up monitoring to check for the presence of Fire Ants.

6.1.2.2 Other Weed and Pest Requirements

• Undertake regular monitoring inspections of work areas to identify potential weed and pest impacts from

construction works.

• Undertake inspections to ensure a waste is managed on the construction sites in accordance with the

Waste Management Plan

• When weed control is undertaken, maintain daily herbicide log using Queensland Rail Form MD-12-731.

http://www.daf.qld.gov.au/plants/weeds-pest-animals-ants/invasive-ants/fireants/forms-and-notifications/report-fire-ants

http://www.daf.qld.gov.au/plants/weeds-pest-animals-ants/invasive-ants/fireants/forms-and-notifications/report-fire-ants


20

• Prepare and maintain vehicle clean down reports

• Regularly inspect construction worksites and other work areas, as appropriate, to assess compliance with

mitigation measures identified to minimise impacts from weeds and pests.

• Prior to the completion of construction works, monitor rehabilitation activities to ensure compliance with

the Landscape and rehabilitation plans.

6.1.3 Environmental Auditing

Audits will be undertaken to assess the effectiveness of environmental controls, compliance with this WPMP,

compliance with Environmental Design Requirements, and other relevant permits, approvals, and guidelines.

There will be a monthly internal audit undertaken by CBGU. This includes reporting on compliance with the

CEMP and the Imposed Conditions. Specific audit requirements are included in the CEMP.

6.1.4 Corrective Actions

Corrective actions must be undertaken where monitoring or validated complaints indicate the environmental

outcomes or Imposed Conditions are not achieved in relation to particular works, either because the

performance criteria have not been met, or mitigation measures have not been implemented. Where

corrective actions become necessary, the specific works that do not achieve the environmental outcomes or

meet the Imposed Conditions must cease until the corrective actions have been developed and implemented.

The process for developing and implementing Correction Actions has been specified within the overarching

CEMP.

6.2 Reporting

6.2.1 Environmental Reporting

To ensure compliance with Coordinator-General Condition 6 and where relevant the CEMP, CBGU will prepare

and submit a monthly report within 6 weeks from the end of the month to the Delivery Authority. Reporting

must be undertaken, as a minimum, during site preparation, construction and rehabilitation. Specific

reporting requirements include:

• Results of pre-clearance weed surveys undertaken prior to construction works

• Any reporting requirements that arise from the requirements of the Biosecurity Instrument Permit (if

required)

The specific requirements of the Monthly Report have been identified in the CEMP.

6.2.2 Incidents and Non-Compliance Event Reporting

Environmental incidents meeting the criteria of an NCE shall be notified verbally as soon as practical and in

writing within 48 hours of becoming aware of an incident occurring to the Development Authority.

Notification will generally be undertaken by the Environment and Sustainability Manager or a member of the

CBGU environment team. Additional notification of the incident to the relevant authorities, EM and parent

companies will also be undertaken as required

Further details regarding reporting, including provision of interim and detail reports have been provided in the

overarching CEMP.


21

6.3 Documentation

6.3.1 Environmental Records

The process for managing and collecting environmental records is detailed in the overarching CEMP. All

relevant records in relation to weed and pest must be maintained in accordance with these requirements.

Additionally, a written record of the steps taken to ensure the soil is either inspected, stored and moved

correctly, including chemical treatments applied and/or disturbance activities undertaken. This may include:

• Dated, written records of the risk mitigation measures undertaken and the details of where the soil has

been taken from/to

• Photographs, site plans and surveyor’s records

• Receipts and records of treatment applied by a licensed pest manager

6.3.2 Document Control

Document control requirements have been specifically addressed within the overarching CEMP.

6.3.3 Review

The overarching CEMP outlines the review frequency and requirements for the CEMP and associated sub-

plans including this WPMP.

6.3.4 Communication

All internal and external communication with all stakeholders including the public, Coordinator-General,
