                                                                            1 Serenity Close Noosa Heads

   •    All earthworks shall be undertaken so as not to damage the root system of any trees to be
        retained and in this regard temporary fencing shall be provided around the trees during
        construction to help protect them.

   •    Implementation of clearing procedures to minimise any disturbance on feeding and roosting
        wildlife. Clearing procedures include:
            o   Pre-clearing inspection should be undertaken by a qualified and licensed fauna spotter
                at least within 48 hours prior to the commencement of the clearing. These surveys will
                target fauna species known or potentially occurring in the locality and will attempt to
                identify critical habitat sites for these species. If critical habitat sites are located,
                appropriate mitigation measures (including capture and release in retained adjacent
                suitable habitats) will be undertaken according to the type of habitat feature (e.g. nest
                and den sites) and species concerned; and,
            o   During the construction phase, all works will be supervised by the fauna spotter to
                recover any native fauna that are potentially displaced. A clearing protocol will be
                adopted for the removal of trees containing suitable habitat hollows and other fauna
                habitat features (refer to Section 4.0); and,

   •    The implementation of the landscape architect drawings/plans (perpared by Place Design
        Group). The development footprint boundary will be surveyed and pegged by a Registered
        Surveyor prior to the conduct of clearing operations. Appropriate temporary fencing will be
        installed along the proposed earthworks. The fencing will function as a clearly marked ‘exclusion’
        boundary for the machinery operators during clearing operations to ensure that no clearing
        occurs outside the individual extraction area.

   •    Strict working hours during operational work - the proposed development and associated
        clearing will not operate at night time when nocturnal species are likely to move around the
        landscape. It is not unreasonable to consider that there will be opportunity for safe faunal
        movement during these times.
   •    No domestic animals will be allowed onto the construction site.

2.2.3    Improvement and Enhancement of Habitat
   •    The rehabilitation (assisted natural revegetation and weed control) of Precinct 1 in accordance
        with the approved Rehabilitation Management Plan to enhance the ecological value of retained
        vegetation within the site.

   •    Restrictions of access to important habitat areas to limit the introduction of soil pathogens m
        toxins and other materials.
   •    Limited use of herbicide, pesticides and fertilisers in rehabilitation/restoration works.
   •    No standing water to remain on site to minimise habitat for cane toads.
   •    Implementation and maintenance of stormwater device.
