measures have been prepared to mitigate potential impacts upon wildlife during site works to ensure
duty of care obligations under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and Animal Care and Protection Act
2001 are met. The potential for injury, mortality and orphaning of fauna species will be minimised by
implementing the fauna management and mitigation measures outlined in this plan (section 5.1).
These measures include the engagement of an appropriately experienced and suitably qualified fauna
spotter catcher with experience in koala spotting to conduct a pre-clearing fauna survey and relocate
any fauna present within vegetation to be cleared . Fauna spotters will also specifically search for
koalas. If any koalas are determined to be present, they will be managed on site in line with legislative
requirements.
