                          15. Consideration should be given to fauna sensitive road design so that fauna
                              sensitive design elements for Koala and other fauna species can be incorporated
                              into the design, given that the facility upgrade coincides with widening of the
                              Eumundi Noosa Road further to the north. Suitable safe fauna movement features
                              such as fencing, refuge poles, culvert furniture, fauna overpasses and underpasses
                              may be needed to ensure safe movement of Koalas and ensure that long term
                              dispersal routes for arboreal mammals are not impacted. The following documents
                              describe safe fauna movement design practices for Koala and other wildlife:

                    Biosecurity

                          16. The General Biosecurity Obligation (GBO) designated under the Biosecurity Act
                              2014 requires everyone to take all reasonable and practical steps to minimise the
                              risks associated with invasive species.
                          17. Control of Singapore Daisy and other Restricted Invasive Plants should be
                              incorporated into works as part of the GBO.
                          18. Any fill used must be free of weed propagules.
                          19. Control of Singapore daisy should be programmed to occur at least 6 weeks prior
                              to works, and timely follow up should be undertaken 3 weeks prior to works to
                              minimise potential spread during works.
                          20. All spoil, fill and vegetation contaminated with Singapore daisy fragments should
                              be appropriately disposed of and transported to landfill.
                          21. Felled living and dead trees that are not contaminated with Singapore Daisy
                              fragments should be retained and dispersed in adjacent bushland areas, or donated
                              to community revegetation projects to augment habitat value for reptiles and small
                              mammals.
                          22. Any fill, gravel, mulch or plants from Fire Ant Zones requires a Biosecurity
                              Instrument Permit (BIP).
