                                                                           1 Serenity Close Noosa Heads

    •   Minimisation: measures taken to reduce the duration, intensity and / or extent of impacts
        (including direct, indirect and cumulative impacts, as appropriate) that cannot be completely
        avoided, as far as is practically feasible.
    •   Offset: no offsets are proposed for Stage 4 as no residual significant impacts are proposed. All
        impacts will be either avoided or mitigated.

The following recommendations have been outlined to ensure that the impact of the proposed
development on fauna are minimised as far as possible and that threatened species and their habitat is
protected in the long term.

2.2.1    Design of the Development layout
    •   Provision of appropriate buffers to Weyba Creek within the site and retention of vegetation along
        the creek as illustrate in the landscape architect drawings prepared by Place Design Group
        (2018).
    •   All vegetation to be removed and retained are illustrated in the landscape architect drawings
        prepared by Place Design Group for Stage 4.

    •   Contractors must be supplied with a construction protocol regarding clearing restrictions through
        a work site induction program.

    •   Plantings throughout the site (landscaping and restoration activities) will include the use of plant
        species that provide habitat for a range of local common species. Refer to the landscape
        architect drawings prepared by Place Design Group (2018).

    •   Restoration and retention of area along the creek have been identified for koala, glossy black
        cockatoo and wallum froglet. The enhancement and restoration of these areas is addressed in
        the approved Ecological Restoration Plan.

    •   Koala friendly fencing will be installed as per derailed in the landscape architect drawing (Detail
        5 on Sheet 2017008-914 of the landscape architect plans).

    •   Lighting design to minimise indirect impact on wildlife behaviour. This includes:
            o   Careful placement and direction of lighting: all luminaries mounted as low in elevation
                as possible and use of screen to direct the light toward the path rather than in the
                forested/treed areas;
            o   Direct light spill of long wavelength (red) and high light intensity to be reduced as much
                as reasonably safely practicable;
            o   Lighting along roadway and parking area to horizontal cut-off asymmetric distribution
                type luminaires or alternative shielded sodium lighting; and,
            o   Assessment of the light-reduction design aspects adjacent to hollow-bearing trees,
                subject to safety in design and safe operational practices.

2.2.2    Prior to and During Clearing
    •   Procedures for reusing the vegetation clearing material or re-location of structural elements such
        as hollow bearing logs to areas of vegetation to be retained. Note that no hollow-bearing tree
        were sighted on site.
    •   All trees to be retained shall be clearly defined on all drawings and clearly marked on site to
        prevent any damage occurring to these trees.
