Additional Information:<br />

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.

• 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.<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.

Eucalyptus tereticornis open forest to woodland on alluvial plains<br />

Description: Eucalyptus tereticornis open‐forest to woodland. Eucalyptus crebra and E. moluccana are<br />

sometimes present and may be relatively abundant in places, especially on edges of plains and higher<br />

level alluvium. Other species that may be present as scattered individuals or clumps include Angophora<br />

subvelutina or A. floribunda, C. intermedia, C. tessellaris and E. melanophloia. Occurs on broad<br />

Quaternary alluvial plains.<br />

Additional Information:<br />

• In areas with vine thicket (Dry rainforest/Scrub) present nearby, the understorey can contain a<br />

large percentage of rainforest species.<br />

• The animal symbols represent the habitat/food resource of a particular animal.<br />

• The column C denotes the conservation status of a particular species of plant, E is Endangered, V is<br />

Vulnerable, and R is Rare.<br />

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 />

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.


• 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 />

• Acacia harpophylla should make up 80% of canopy species.<br />

• Acacia harpophylla should be planted at 2 metre intervals.<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.
