1.4       Scope of Works

The scope of works for this report includes:

      •   A detailed desktop assessment, including review of relevant background, database and mapping
          information to identify applicable Local, State and Commonwealth government overlays/mapping
          triggers and potential constraints and development opportunities for the site.

      •   A site assessment to determine the extent and structural integrity of vegetation communities
          (including the presence of weed species) and fauna habitat values, and to identify and assess
          ecologically significant areas and features.

      •   Assessment of the site’s conservation values with respect to its position within the local and broader
          landscape, including corridor linkages and riparian areas.

      •   A description of the ecological values (field survey results) of the site and confirmation of the
          likelihood of occurrence of flora and fauna species and vegetation communities protected under
          Local, State and Commonwealth legislation.

      •   Identification of statutory considerations relevant to ecological aspects of the proposed
          development and assessment of the proposed development against the relevant Local and State
          legislation (including State Development codes and local planning scheme provisions) with
          recommendations on how to meet the environmental overlay codes and protect environmental
          values.

      •   Evaluation of ecological constraints on the site and impacts and provision of management
          measures to mitigate such impacts.

      •   Preparation of maps relevant to the report, including vegetation communities and vegetation
          clearing maps.
