1.4 Plants used for landscaping comprise
70% Australian plants of which 50% are
native to the area, including koala habitat
trees native to the area, where practicable.

extent of development (the total
footprint) on the development site.

Addressing Criterion 2.3 coutd include,
for example, measures to assist koalas
to cross roads more safely as well as
maximising the number of no through
roads in road network design.

 

 

2. Development with
densities below 5 dwellings
per hectare or lots greater
than 2000m2 are designed,
consistent with the urban
intent of the area, to:

(a) incorporate koala
sensitive
development; and
(b) maintain habitat
linkages.

 

2.1 Development maintains habitat linkages.
2.2 The location and design of buildings,
structures and other works, to the extent
practicable, allows koalas to traverse the
landscape in which the development is
located. This includes:

(a) Siting buildings/structures, roads and
works in ways that minimise the
fragmentation of koala habitat to be
retained;

(b) Incorporating layout and design measures
to minimise the extent to which a koala that
is traversing the landscape is impeded from
reaching its destination either within the
development site, or on the other side of the
development site;

{c) Locating buildings/structures and other
works in existing cleared areas;

(d) Retaining koala habitat trees in those parts
of the development site not required for
achieving the development objectives of the
site;

(e) Providing habitat links containing native
vegetation across the site;

{f) Erecting koala-friendly fences on lot
boundaries, except where koala exclusion
fences are the only practical way of
safeguarding koalas from uses on the lot.
