Our natural environment Biodiversity In our endeavour to create sustainable developments we continue to examine how we impact the land we develop. Improving our knowledge of the plants, animals and ecosystems that are part of, or adjacent to, our sites enables us to retain and improve the biodiversity value of the land within our projects. Adequately assessing the biodiversity value of the sites we own and acquire also reduces the risk of planning delays. These delays may arise from environmental conservation legislation at state and federal levels of government, or from community concerns. In cases where we are developing a greenfield site, or the site has ecological or conservation value, we are required to produce an Environmental Impact Assessment. Development typically impacts biodiversity through the removal of native vegetation. As a result threatened species and their habitats, or corridors through which species migrate and forage, may be impacted. Examples of our approach to preserving and remediating environmentally significant landholdings include the Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo case study, relocating heathland at our Brightwater project in Queensland and remediating ground contamination at our Glenrose shopping centre. Our Residential sustainability policy includes a requirement for each project to conduct an ecological and/or biodiversity assessment to identify and preserve areas of prime significance. These assessments will contribute to building an understanding of our net biodiversity impacts and opportunities. Biodiversity management plans Biodiversity assessments have shown that several of our landholdings serve as habitat for threatened species. In FY10 we reviewed our Residential Communities and Apartment projects – 33 per cent of these have threatened species or communities located on, or near, the projects. A quarter of the projects reviewed have biodiversity plans in place. Some approval authorities have required biodiversity management plans regardless of whether there are threatened species or impacted flora and fauna communities. Register of threatened species In the past year we have refined our register of threatened species and communities so that we can better understand our biodiversity holdings. Our register includes: • The area of our land that provides habitat for threatened species, and the entire area of local land that forms the habitat of threatened species. In each case, the relevant regulatory authority reviews our proposal. The outcome of this review process is that the habitat will usually be conserved on site or offset. • The area of land that provides habitat for threatened species that has been or is to be cleared. Species habitat may either be maintained within the development or cleared to accommodate development construction. We expect up to about 170 hectares may be cleared in the projects reported this year, out of a total of 850 hectares serving as habitat to threatened species. Some of these projects remain in planning stages. This number may change as a result of further planning and approval processes. The remaining 680 hectares of habitat to threatened species on our sites will likely be secured for ongoing conservation. • The area of land that has been regenerated or improved to provide habitat for threatened species. At this stage, about 55 hectares of land is under restoration nationally, including revegetation and weed removal. In FY11 we will use the knowledge gained through the use of our species register and management plans to review our biodiversity approach. We will develop best practice case studies of biodiversity management which will enable us to improve the capability of our development managers and their project teams. Biodiversity project updates Brightwater heath translocation process In 2008 we reported on our $5 million heath translocation project at Brightwater on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The project was a success, with the relocated heath taking well. Ongoing monitoring of the translocation is being undertaken by an approved independent arborist. The monitoring has confirmed that the performance requirements for the health of the heath-land, post-translocation, are being met or are progressing as expected. A further 18 months of monitoring is required in accordance with the approvals, but we are confident that the translocation will remain a success throughout and beyond this monitoring period. Glenrose contamination As part of our demolition, remediation and proposed redevelopment works, we continue to monitor and manage the ground contamination we inherited when we acquired the Stockland Glenrose shopping centre in Northern Sydney. Indoor air-quality testing began in February 2010 in the operating parts of the centre and centre management office. A specialist consultant conducted a risk assessment for retailers, management and visitors and indicated that there is no adverse impact on human health. In March 2010, a six-month groundwater remediation pilot trial commenced as part of a Remediation Action Plan using a ‘biostimulation’ strategy. Further testing will continue to mid-2010 in order to make a definitive assessment of the trial. Stockland Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Report June 2010 83
