b) mini any modification of the natural

characteristics of the wetland, including the

topography, surface and groundwater
hydrology, water quality and flora and fauna
species:

Cc) preventing any new development within
wetlands;

d) minimising access to the wetland;

e) minimising impacts associated with pest insect
control and invasion by undesirable plant
species; and

f) providing for the rehabilitation and replanting of
degraded wetlands.

COMMENTS

The proposed development has provided a buffer area of between
approximately 35 metres up to 80 metres between the Wet Heath
area to the west of the site. The proposed buffer will retain the
existing vegetation and will plant some new species to minimise
any modification to the wet heath area by providing a physical
buffer restricting access and implementing environmentally
sensitive stormwater management devices, which ensures that any
runoff from the site is of a high quality and reduces the volume of
flow from the site. There is no proposed pest insect control to be
carried out on the subject site. The buffer zone will be planted with
desirable plant species and any weed species will be removed.

Riparian buffers

05 The biodiversity and ecosystem values of
watercourses, drainage lines, wetlands and
adjacent riparian zones are protected by—

a) avoiding any new development in the riparian
buffer;

b) retaining aquatic and terrestrial habitat,

c) maintaining wildlife corridors + along
watercourses and drainage lines for native
fauna movement;

d) avoiding edge effects and incompatible uses in
riparian zones;

e) maintaining bank stability by minimizing bank
erosion and slumping;

f) maintaining water quality by filtering sediments,
nutrients and other pollutants; and

g) removing undesirable plant species and
replacing them with vegetation of local origin;

AND

 

$5.1 No new development occurs on, or partly on,

premises indicated as Riparian Buffer on

Biodiversity Overlay Maps OM1.1 to OM9.1, except

for—

a) temporary use of the land; or

b) infrastructure which provides access to a
watercourse for recreational purposes;

OR

$5.2 Where Detached house and located on an

allotment situated wholly within the Riparian Buffer,

the following minimum building setbacks measured
from mean high water mark are complied with—

a} if within the Coastal Protection Precinct as
identified on the Natural Resources Overlay
Maps—in accordance with Schedule 1
Minimum Boundary Setbacks; or

b) Otherwise—40m;

OR

 

 

There is no Riparian Buffer indicated on Overlay map 4.1 for the
subject site.
