Probable solutions (if code assessable)

[$45.1 Works, including roads, driveways, fences,

a) provide adequate separation distance between the vegetation sewer lines and other infrastructure-

to be protected and the development to avoid disturbing,
destabilising and deoxygenating any tree or altering the
drainage;

b) avoid traversing or fragmenting vegetation or habitats for
significant flora and fauna species; and

C) avoid creating barriers to faunal movement.

Filling and excavation

016 Vegetation is not adversely impacted upon by earthworks
and changes to the hydrological regime, including changes to

ground water levels, flooding levels, run-off and tidal hydraulics.

a} do not transect areas of vegetation, or

b) are co-located within a combined utility corridor;
and

c) provide for fauna underpasses, speed reduction
devices and associated fencing, lighting and
warning signs, where appropriate;

AND

1§15.2 Development within or adjacent to areas of
jvegetation, incorporates fences that allow for
protected fauna movement and to control
unrestricted access of domestic cats and dags;

AND

$15.3 Vegetation is protected from interference
resulting from clearing or construction activities by-
a) clearly marking vegetation to be retained with
flagging tape;

b) installing protective fencing around the dripline
:of the vegetation; and

jo ensuring stock piling, storage and vehicle parking
occur outside the identified vegetation areas;

AND

$15.4 Low impact construction techniques are used
around vegetation to minimise interference with the
vegetation.

No solution provided.

Development Outcomes

consolidated with existing urban development. In
‘relation to the total site, the development has been
iplaced so that it minimises fragmentation of
ivegetation and edge-effects.

Where possible, the development will be designed so j
that utilities are co-located to minimise impacts on
vegetation. Fauna-friendly fencing and fauna
underpasses will be integrated into the design where
practicable. Due to the nature of the development
(aged care accommodation) there will not be an
increase in the occurrence of domestic cats and dogs
ton the site. Existing vegetation will be retained as‘
imuch as possible within the development area.
