    Hi there. Thanks for your questions.

    Regarding your first question about heritage, the Forests Department Headquarters (fmr) is included on the City’s Local Heritage Survey (LHS) as Place No. 16 with a Category 4 Classification of Significance. It is not currently included on the City’s Heritage List nor on the State Register of Heritage Places. You can view the place record for the Forests Department Headquarters (fmr) at this link: https://southperth.wa.gov.au/docs/default-source/4-develop/planning/heritage/city-of-south-perth-local-heritage-survey-2025.pdf#page=131

    In relation to how Development WA would address the recommendations of the Environmental Assessment Report that the clearing of potential black cockatoo foraging habitat should be avoided (p. 40), the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) protects Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES). If an action is likely to have a significant impact on any MNES a referral to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) is required, followed by possible subsequent assessment if a Controlled Action is determined.

    The EPBC Act referral thresholds for black cockatoos states that a loss of greater than or equal to 1 ha of high-quality foraging habitat is likely to require referral to DCCEEW. The Environmental Assessment Report recorded 1.48 ha of high-quality foraging habitat within the Bentley Technology Park PSP area. Therefore, clearing equal to or greater than 1 ha of this potential foraging habitat is likely to require an EPBC Act referral.
