Development Outcomes

 

 

Fences along watercourses

017 Fences along watercourses are designed and constructed
to maintain the visual amenity of the watercourses and blend
with the natural environment.

Replanting and rehabilitation

O18 Vegetation is enhanced through the following measures:
a) siting landscaped areas to complement and enhance existing
vegetation,

b) removal of all species likely to displace native flora species or
degrade fauna habitat;

© replanting and rehabilitating” degraded habitat; and

d) replacing any vegetation removed with suitable replacement
vegetation of local origin.

Fire management

0719 Fire management measures are adopted based on
ecological principles, which-

a) maintain and enhance biodiversity;

b) minimise threat of fire to the natural environment, life and
property; and

©) provide for effective use and maintenance of buildings and

$17.1 Fencing along watercourses are of open
construction (i.e. more than 50% transparent) and
use lightweight materials, such as timber or steel
wire.

(18.1 Landscaping complements important
habitats by-

a) utilising native plants of focal origin;

b) utilising suitable plant species identified in PSP3 -
Landscaping Plants and Guidelines;

¢) replicating adjacent remnant habitats, including
understorey vegetation;

d) creating or enhancing linkages between existing
habitats;

e} avoiding the use of Undesirable Plant Species
listed in Table 9.1 of PSP3 Landscaping Plants and
Guidelines; and

f) planting riparian zones to filter stormwater run-
off and provide for witdlife habitat.

AND

$18.2 Vegetation removed is replaced with the
equivalent number of trees or plants of focal origin
to a minimum pot size of 100 litres.

Not applicable.
The development is not occurring in a riparian area.

It should be noted that all landscaping will be
undertaken with Australian plants with at least 50%
of plants native to the area; including koala habitat
trees native to the area.

A weed management strategy will also be provided !

as part of the operational works application.

As the development area is less than 10ha in total,
and is mapped as a Medium Bushfire Hazard Area,
the detailed building layout will be designed so that
interference with vegetation will not extend beyond
10m of a building or structure where the

interference is reasonably necessary for access to the :
building or structure or a distance equal to 1.5 times
