Negotiated Report (Representations made) - OPW26 0033 (As Published)

               including milling. However, as timber harvesting or milling is not required as part of the
               development, it is recommended that the condition not require logs to be stockpiled for
               transportation and/or milling. Instead, the condition should provide flexibility for suitable timber to
               be retained or removed for beneficial reuse.
               An additional advisory note is recommended.
               Recommendation
               It is recommended existing condition 25 be amended to read as follows:
               26.    After under scrubbing of each area is complete, non-habitat trees (i.e. trees other than those
                      identified as habitat trees) will may be cleared and stockpiled for mulching. Suitable felled
                      timber may be retained or removed from the site for beneficial reuse, with remaining
                      felled vegetation stockpiled for mulching. Clearing of non-habitat trees will only occur
                      where their removal will not impact on identified habitat trees (e.g. canopies do not
                      interconnect with habitat trees).


               3.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme. The
               requested changes to the conditions do not raise any significant issues and are therefore
               supported. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 76 of the Planning Act 2016.

                              iii.     Proposed fencing to the site during the construction phase of the development;
                              iv.      Adequate parking arrangements for constriction workers, residents and
                                       delivers; and

                              construction site through the implementation of appropriate erosion and sediment
                              controls;
                      c.      Works programme identifying key components of the clearing works and their
                              respective durations;
                      d.      Establishment of a communication protocol with the adjoining owners and local
