      Development is designed and sited to manage adverse                 Where clearing of vegetation cannot be practicably avoided, the
      impacts on ecologically important areas by:                         development:
      (a)   minimising the total footprint within which all activities,   (a)   ensures the design and siting limits the loss of
            buildings, structures driveways and other works are                 vegetation to the smallest extent possible;

      (b)   locating development in existing cleared areas or areas             processes to the greatest extent possible within and
            of low ecological value over other areas to the greatest            adjacent to the site;

            retain ecological values and ecosystem processes              (d)   provides suitable habitat replacement and replanting in
            within or adjacent to the development site; and                     accordance with PSP3 Ecological Assessment
      (d)   where adverse impacts have been minimised, any                      Guidelines.
            residual impacts on ecological values are                AO3.2
