Planting Note for 12.3.3c<br />
Melaleuca irbyana low open‐forest or thicket<br />
• This ecosystem can grow besides several other ecosystems i.e. Brigalow 12.3.10a –<br />
Black tea‐tree 12.3.7a – 12.3.3 Blue gums on alluvial plains.<br />
Planting intervals and percentages:<br />
• Melaleuca irbyana at 75%.<br />
• Eucalypt species10%.<br />
• Remaining 15% of species evenly distributed at 1 metre intervals.<br />
Site preparation:<br />
• Firstly consider if the site is suitable – areas that are moisture retentive<br />
usually give the best results e.g. creek/river and floodplains.<br />
• Consider whether the planting area can be deep ripped or hand planted.<br />
• Is the site safe from predators e.g. livestock, hares and wallabies.<br />
• The site may have to be fenced off.<br />
• Tree protection bags may have to be used.<br />
• Deep ripping firstly and allowing rain to enter the riplines over weeks or even<br />
months is beneficial.<br />
• When hand planting pre‐wet the holes with water and a small amount of<br />
detergent, or use water retentive crystals wet or dry.<br />
• Use only healthy well rooted stock plants native to the ecosystem you<br />
planting in.<br />
• Use deep native tubes for eucalypts, and/or 150mm pots with rainforest<br />
species.<br />
• Additives to the planting hole e.g. gypsum, crusher dust, diatomaceous<br />
products, seaweed or fish emulsion<br />
• Use organic slow release fertilisers in granules or pellet form. These can be<br />
placed in the hole before planting or on top before or after mulching. They<br />
should always be watered in.<br />
• Staking should not be necessary unless they are being used as markers only.
• Construct a shallow basin when planting so water can enter root area of<br />
plant.<br />
• Use mulch e.g. hay, straw, sugar cane, woodchip, tub ground green waste<br />
(strips of wood and bark), rocks if available, gravel, and crusher dust.<br />
• Water in tubes with 2 litres and 4 litres for 150mm pots. Plants will do best<br />
with 4 litres of water per plant per week for up to 6 weeks.<br />
• Maintenance will need to be carried out for at least 12 months or more.<br />
Regular herbicide spraying using appropriate herbicides or manual removal of<br />
weeds. Periodic replacement of mulches.

Planting Note for 12.9‐10.15<br />
Semi‐evergreen vine thicket<br />
• Hoop pine is not present in all 12.9‐10.15 ecosystems – Hoop pine does not occur west of Rosewood<br />
until the Toowoomba Range, to the south on the Main Range or to the north on the Esk‐Hampton<br />
Road.<br />
• All tree species planted at 1‐1.5 m intervals<br />
• Remaining species should be distributed evenly through the planting area.<br />
Planting intervals and percentages:<br />
• tree species should be distributed evenly through the area.<br />
• Remaining species evenly distributed.<br />
Site preparation<br />
• Firstly consider if the site is suitable – areas that are moisture retentive usually give the best<br />
results e.g. creek/river, rich scrub soils and floodplains.<br />
• Consider whether the planting area can be deep ripped or hand planted.<br />
• Is the site safe from predators e.g. livestock, hares and wallabies.<br />
• The site may have to be fenced off.<br />
• Tree protection bags may have to be used.<br />
• Deep ripping firstly and allowing rain to enter the riplines over weeks or even months is<br />
beneficial.<br />
• When hand planting pre‐wet the holes with water and a small amount of detergent, or use<br />
water retentive crystals wet or dry.<br />
• Use only healthy well rooted stock plants native to the ecosystem you are planting in.<br />
• Use deep native tubes for eucalypts, and/or 150mm pots with rainforest species.<br />
• Additives to the planting hole e.g. gypsum, crusher dust, diatomaceous products, seaweed or<br />
fish emulsion<br />
• Use organic slow release fertilisers in granules or pellet form. These can be placed in the hole<br />
before planting or on top before or after mulching. They should always be watered in.
• Staking should not be necessary unless they are being used as markers only.<br />
• Construct a shallow basin when planting so water can enter root area of plant.<br />
• Use mulch e.g. hay, straw, sugar cane, woodchip, tub ground green waste (strips of wood and<br />
bark), rocks if available, gravel, and crusher dust.<br />
• Water in tubes with 2 litres or more and 4 litres for 150mm pots. Plants will do best with 4<br />
litres of water per plant per week for up to 6 weeks.<br />
• Maintenance will need to be carried out for at least 12 months or more. Regular herbicide<br />
spraying using appropriate herbicides or manual removal of weeds. Periodic replacement of<br />
mulches as they break down.

Planting Note for 12.9‐10.7<br />
Eucalyptus crebra woodland on sedimentary rocks<br />
• In areas with vine thicket (Dry rainforest/Scrub) present nearby, the understorey<br />
can contain a large percentage of rainforest species from regional ecosystems<br />
12.9‐10.15/12.8.21.<br />
Planting intervals and percentages:<br />
• Eucalyptus crebra should make up 80% of the canopy species.<br />
• Remaining tree species should be distributed evenly through the area.<br />
• Remaining species evenly distributed.<br />
Site preparation<br />
• Firstly consider if the site is suitable – areas that are moisture retentive usually give the<br />
best results e.g. creek/river, rich scrub soils and floodplains.<br />
• Consider whether the planting area can be deep ripped or hand planted.<br />
• Is the site safe from predators e.g. livestock, hares and wallabies.<br />
• The site may have to be fenced off.<br />
• Tree protection bags may have to be used.<br />
• Deep ripping firstly and allowing rain to enter the riplines over weeks or even months is<br />
beneficial.<br />
• When hand planting pre‐wet the holes with water and a small amount of detergent, or<br />
use water retentive crystals wet or dry.<br />
• Use only healthy well rooted stock plants native to the ecosystem you are planting in.<br />
• Use deep native tubes for eucalypts, and/or 150mm pots with rainforest species.<br />
• Additives to the planting hole e.g. gypsum, crusher dust, diatomaceous products,<br />
seaweed or fish emulsion
• Use organic slow release fertilisers in granules or pellet form. These can be placed in the<br />
hole before planting or on top before or after mulching. They should always be watered<br />
in.<br />
• Staking should not be necessary unless they are being used as markers only.<br />
• Construct a shallow basin when planting so water can enter root area of plant.<br />
• Use mulch e.g. hay, straw, sugar cane, woodchip, tub ground green waste (strips of<br />
wood and bark), rocks if available, gravel, and crusher dust.<br />
• Water in tubes with 2 litres or more and 4 litres for 150mm pots. Plants will do best<br />
with 4 litres of water per plant per week for up to 6 weeks.<br />
• Maintenance will need to be carried out for at least 12 months or more. Regular<br />
herbicide spraying using appropriate herbicides or manual removal of weeds. Periodic<br />
replacement of mulches as they break down.

Additional Information:<br />
Planting Note for 12.9‐10.3<br />
Eucalyptus moluccana on sedimentary rocks<br />
• In areas with vine thicket (Dry rainforest/Scrub) present nearby, the understorey can<br />
consist of a large percentage of rainforest species from regional ecosystem 12.9‐<br />
10.15/12.8.21.<br />
Planting intervals and percentages:<br />
• Eucalyptus moluccana should be planted at 80%<br />
• Planting for E. Moluccana should be at 2m intervals.<br />
• Remaining species including trees evenly distributed with the exception of grass<br />
species which can be planted at 1 metre intervals.<br />
Site preparation:<br />
• Firstly consider if the site is suitable – areas that are moisture retentive<br />
usually give the best results e.g. creek/river and floodplains.<br />
• Consider whether the planting area can be deep ripped or hand planted.<br />
• Is the site safe from predators e.g. livestock, hares and wallabies.<br />
• The site may have to be fenced off.<br />
• Tree protection bags may have to be used.<br />
• Deep ripping firstly and allowing rain to enter the riplines over weeks or even<br />
months is beneficial.<br />
• When hand planting pre‐wet the holes with water and a small amount of<br />
detergent, or use water retentive crystals wet or dry.<br />
• Use only healthy well rooted stock plants native to the ecosystem you<br />
planting in.<br />
• Use deep native tubes for eucalypts, and/or 150mm pots with rainforest<br />
species.<br />
• Additives to the planting hole e.g. gypsum, crusher dust, diatomaceous<br />
products, seaweed or fish emulsion<br />
• Use organic slow release fertilisers in granules or pellet form. These can be<br />
placed in the hole before planting or on top before or after mulching. They<br />
should always be watered in.
• Staking should not be necessary unless they are being used as markers only.<br />
• Construct a shallow basin when planting so water can enter root area of<br />
plant.<br />
• Use mulch e.g. hay, straw, sugar cane, woodchip, tub ground green waste<br />
(strips of wood and bark), rocks if available, gravel, and crusher dust.<br />
• Water in tubes with 2 litres and 4 litres for 150mm pots. Plants will do best<br />
with 4 litres of water per plant per week for up to 6 weeks.<br />
• Maintenance will need to be carried out for at least 12 months or more.<br />
Regular herbicide spraying using appropriate herbicides or manual removal of<br />
weeds. Periodic replacement of mulches.

Planting Note for 12.3.8<br />
Swamps with Cyperus spp., Schoenoplectus spp. and Eleocharis<br />
spp.<br />
Description: Characteristic species include Cyperus spp., Schoenoplectus spp., Philydrum lanuginosum,<br />
Eleocharis spp., Leersia hexandra, Triglochin procerum, Nymphaea spp., Nymphoides indica, Persicaria<br />
spp. and Typha spp.<br />
Additional notes: Plant species may vary from freshwater to saltwater swamps.<br />
Planting intervals and percentages:<br />
• All species should be planted evenly throughout planting site – taking into account individual<br />
species requirements for position within the swamp.<br />
• POSITION ‐ E = EDGE species that occur on the edge of swamps – W = WATER species that<br />
occur in the water – L = LOW species that occur in low lying areas that receive temporary<br />
flooding.<br />
Site preparation<br />
• Firstly consider if the site is suitable – areas that are moisture retentive usually give the<br />
best results e.g. creek/river, rich scrub soils and floodplains.<br />
• Consider whether the planting area can be deep ripped or hand planted.<br />
• Is the site safe from predators e.g. livestock, hares and wallabies.<br />
• The site may have to be fenced off.<br />
• Tree protection bags may have to be used.<br />
• Deep ripping firstly and allowing rain to enter the riplines over weeks or even months is<br />
beneficial.<br />
• When hand planting pre‐wet the holes with water and a small amount of detergent, or<br />
use water retentive crystals wet or dry.<br />
• Use only healthy well rooted stock plants native to the ecosystem you are planting in.<br />
• Use deep native tubes for eucalypts, and/or 150mm pots with rainforest species.<br />
• Additives to the planting hole e.g. gypsum, crusher dust, diatomaceous products,<br />
seaweed or fish emulsion<br />
• Use organic slow release fertilisers in granules or pellet form. These can be placed in the<br />
hole before planting or on top before or after mulching. They should always be watered<br />
in.
• Staking should not be necessary unless they are being used as markers only.<br />
• Construct a shallow basin when planting so water can enter root area of plant.<br />
• Use mulch e.g. hay, straw, sugar cane, woodchip, tub ground green waste (strips of<br />
wood and bark), rocks if available, gravel, and crusher dust.<br />
• Water in tubes with 2 litres or more and 4 litres for 150mm pots. Plants will do best<br />
with 4 litres of water per plant per week for up to 6 weeks.<br />
• Maintenance will need to be carried out for at least 12 months or more. Regular<br />
herbicide spraying using appropriate herbicides or manual removal of weeds. Periodic<br />
replacement of mulches as they break down.

• When hand planting pre‐wet the holes with water and a small amount of detergent, or<br />
use water retentive crystals wet or dry.<br />
• Use only healthy well rooted stock plants native to the ecosystem you are planting in.<br />
• Use deep native tubes for eucalypts, and/or 150mm pots with rainforest species.<br />
• Additives to the planting hole e.g. gypsum, crusher dust, diatomaceous products,<br />
seaweed or fish emulsion<br />
• Use organic slow release fertilisers in granules or pellet form. These can be placed in the<br />
hole before planting or on top before or after mulching. They should always be watered<br />
in.<br />
• Staking should not be necessary unless they are being used as markers only.<br />
• Construct a shallow basin when planting so water can enter root area of plant.<br />
• Use mulch e.g. hay, straw, sugar cane, woodchip, tub ground green waste (strips of<br />
wood and bark), rocks if available, gravel, and crusher dust.
• Water in tubes with 2 litres or more and 4 litres for 150mm pots. Plants will do best<br />
with 4 litres of water per plant per week for up to 6 weeks.<br />
• Maintenance will need to be carried out for at least 12 months or more. Regular<br />
herbicide spraying using appropriate herbicides or manual removal of weeds. Periodic<br />
replacement of mulches as they break down.

Planting Note for 12.3.3<br />
Eucalyptus tereticornis open forest to woodland on alluvial plains<br />
Additional notes:<br />
• In areas with vine thicket (Dry rainforest/Scrub) present nearby, the understorey can contain a<br />
large percentage of rainforest species from regional ecosystem 12.9‐10.15/12.8.21.<br />
Planting intervals and percentages:<br />
• Eucalyptus tereticornis should make up 80% of the canopy species.<br />
• Eucalyptus tereticornis planting intervals of 8 metres.<br />
• Remaining tree species should be distributed evenly through the area.<br />
• Remaining species evenly distributed.<br />
Site preparation<br />
• Firstly consider if the site is suitable – areas that are moisture retentive usually give the<br />
best results e.g. creek/river, rich scrub soils and floodplains.<br />
• Consider whether the planting area can be deep ripped or hand planted.<br />
• Is the site safe from predators e.g. livestock, hares and wallabies.<br />
• The site may have to be fenced off.<br />
• Tree protection bags may have to be used.<br />
• Deep ripping firstly and allowing rain to enter the riplines over weeks or even months is<br />
beneficial.<br />
• When hand planting pre‐wet the holes with water and a small amount of detergent, or<br />
use water retentive crystals wet or dry.<br />
• Use only healthy well rooted stock plants native to the ecosystem you are planting in.<br />
• Use deep native tubes for eucalypts, and/or 150mm pots with rainforest species.<br />
• Additives to the planting hole e.g. gypsum, crusher dust, diatomaceous products,<br />
seaweed or fish emulsion<br />
• Use organic slow release fertilisers in granules or pellet form. These can be placed in the<br />

• Staking should not be necessary unless they are being used as markers only.<br />
• Construct a shallow basin when planting so water can enter root area of plant.
• Use mulch e.g. hay, straw, sugar cane, woodchip, tub ground green waste (strips of<br />

• Remaining species evenly distributed at 1‐1.5m intervals.<br />
Site preparation<br />
• Firstly consider if the site is suitable – areas that are moisture retentive<br />
usually give the best results e.g. creek/river and floodplains.<br />
• Consider whether the planting area can be deep ripped or hand planted.<br />
• Is the site safe from predators e.g. livestock, hares and wallabies.<br />
• The site may have to be fenced off.<br />
• Tree protection bags may have to be used.<br />
• Deep ripping firstly and allowing rain to enter the riplines over weeks or even<br />
months is beneficial.<br />
• When hand planting pre‐wet the holes with water and a small amount of<br />
detergent, or use water retentive crystals wet or dry.<br />
• Use only healthy well rooted stock plants native to the ecosystem you<br />
planting in.<br />
• Use deep native tubes for eucalypts, and/or 150mm pots with rainforest<br />
species.<br />
• Additives to the planting hole e.g. gypsum, crusher dust, diatomaceous<br />
products, seaweed or fish emulsion<br />
• Use organic slow release fertilisers in granules or pellet form. These can be<br />
placed in the hole before planting or on top before or after mulching. They<br />
should always be watered in.<br />
• Staking should not be necessary unless they are being used as markers only.<br />
• Construct a shallow basin when planting so water can enter root area of<br />
plant.<br />
• Use mulch e.g. hay, straw, sugar cane, woodchip, tub ground green waste<br />
(strips of wood and bark), rocks if available, gravel, and crusher dust.<br />
• Water in tubes with 2 litres and 4 litres for 150mm pots. Plants will do best<br />
with 4 litres of water per plant per week for up to 6 weeks.
• Maintenance will need to be carried out for at least 12 months or more.<br />
Regular herbicide spraying using appropriate herbicides or manual removal<br />
of weeds. Periodic replacement of mulches.
