                 Weed trees in the Rehabilitation Area are shown in the Tree Schedule on Figure 5.

                 Weed control will comply with relevant regulatory requirements, herbicide application safety
                 protocols and will take into account extreme events and other natural processes such as
                 erosion. Timing of weed control should coincide with suitable weather conditions for
                 herbicide application.

                     3.3.2 Follow Up Weed Control
                 To ensure that introduced species do not recolonise rehabilitated areas, follow up weed
                 control will be carried out at quarterly intervals between March 2025 and June 2026 as per
                 Table 4 – Rehabilitation Schedule.

                     3.4 Erosion Management
                 Soil disturbance should be kept to a minimum. Erosion and sediment control measures
                 should be maintained in a functioning condition until individual areas have been deemed
                 successfully rehabilitated.

                 Rocks and boulders or jute matting can be used intermittently on the edge of the driveway to
                 help stabilise the batter between planted areas.

                     3.5 Revegetation
                 The revegetation methods outlined in Table 3 will ensure optimal site capture with minimal
                 disturbance to existing vegetation. Approximately 100 tube stock will need to be planted to
                 achieve required plant densities in the cleared area near the driveway, and approximately
                 400 tube stock will be required in the regrowth (infill) areas. Species suggestions are provided
                 in the Planting Schedule in Figure 5 – Weed Management Plan and Planting Plan.

                 Tube stock should be local provenance, sun-hardened and free from Myrtle Rust and other
                 soil/plant pathogens. Local provenance, sun-hardened plants require minimal watering and
                 maintenance.

                 The optimum time for revegetation activities is spring and autumn; however opportunistic
                 revegetation can be undertaken in summer or winter, if conditions (air temperature and soil
                 moisture levels) are appropriate.

                     3.6 Monitoring and Evaluation
                 Regular monitoring of rehabilitated or revegetated areas will be required during the
                 establishment period and for the duration of the currency period of the development approval
                 to demonstrate that the objectives of the ERP have been achieved.
