Construction activities cn this site will occur in distinct stages.

®
©

A. Initially, clearing is required, itself in three stages.
i. Groundcover and mid storey
ii. Non habitat trees
iii, Habitat trees
B. Buik earthworks
C. Civil works — external and internal, etc.

We suggest the CMP submission should be staged accordingly, with matters
addressing the upcoming works and controls in place to enable the safe completion of
those soon to be commenced works.

Significant and slow work is necessary in clearing the site ir: the manner conditioned in
the approval. For example, Condition 24 “Groundcover anc! midstorey will be cleared
utilising a slasher with a mulching head attachment or similar’.

We deem it is premature to require a CMP addressing civil works before clearing of the
development site is near complete. Requiring such prior to a re-start meeting is an
unnecessary time arid cast burden, making the significant clearing work very difficult to
commence.

Furthermore, tree ard vegetation clearing will be mostly internal, apart from the road
reserve south of the proposed new road. Pottery Street is an Access and Local Road
under Council's road hierarchy general standards. Traffic is minimal south of Red
Street, providing access to a total of 5 properties. Traffic management controls will be
considerate of the road usage. Pedestrians are unable to use the existing western road
verge for access due to Council’s vegetation and trees. The eastern side is generally
clear and more favourable for pedestrians.

Current Condition 17 ~ Removal of existing trees and vegetation

Approved vegetation removal, felling and flopping must:

a) Be undertaken in a manner that avoids damaging surrounding vegetation and
habitat to be retained.

b) Retain old growth tree hollows and suitably relocate and distribute for nesting
fauna.

c) Mulch all other wood and leaf material (without root balls, soil or debris and
minimising weed seeds) for re-usable mulch.

d) Have mulch for re-use in landscape ar rehabilitation stockpiled and agec! for a
minimum of three months.

e) Have mulch stackpiles no larger thar: 1000m3, 2.5m in height and with 10m
separation between piles.

Standing timber to be cleared on the subject site includes trees with trunks varying in
diameter from <150mm to a metre or more. As condition 17 is currently worded, felled
logs will need to be rnuiched. We deem the condition needs amendment to allow
usable logs to be milled. thus making best use of the felled timber.

thase identified as habitat trees) will be cleared and stockpiled for mulching. Clearing of
non-habitat trees wil! only occur where their removal will not impact on identified habitat
trees (e.g. canopies do not interconnect with habitat trees).
