          B) Clearing and Grubbing

                                 1.    Suitably qualified S/C’s are to be present for all clearing and
                                       grubbing activities where there is a risk to native fauna.
                                       S/C’s are to implement and check that all practical measures
                                       to minimise the risk to fauna during construction are
                                       adhered to. S/C’s must hold or be approved to work under
                                       DES a Rehabilitation spotter/catcher endorsed permit and
                                       damage mitigation permit.
                                 2.    Vegetation must be cleared sequentially to direct wildlife
                                       into surrounding retained vegetation and prevents isolates        Fauna spotter

                                 3.    Any occupied trees will be left for 48 hours to allow the         clearing crew
          disturbance
          activities
                                       fauna to self-relocate. This reduces the stress on the
                                       animals and allows them to locate a suitable alternative
                                       habitat.
                                 4.    All significant habitat trees will be pieced down with an EWP
                                       or climbers.
                                 5.    Any injured wildlife will be taken to receive veterinary
                                       attention within 24 hours if required. If veterinary attention
                                       is not required any injured or orphaned wildlife is to be
                                       transferred to a suitably qualified Wildlife Carer.
          C) Koala Management

                                 1.    The following measures will be undertaken to minimise,
                                       reduce or mitigate impacts to koalas in potential koala
                                       habitat areas:
                                           a. Sequential clearing will be utilised to assist fauna in
                                                  relocating to nearby habitat on their own accord.
                                           b. No tree in which a Koala is present and no tree with
          To protect the                                                                                 Fauna spotter
                                                  a crown overlapping a tree with a Koala present
          local population                                                                               and clearing     Earthworks
          of Koalas                               will be disturbed. A 50m buffer around any tree        crew
                                                  containing a Koala is to be established and works
                                                  to seize within this buffer until the has moved off
                                                  on its own accord.
                                           c. A vegetation corridor is to be left where practical to
                                                  allow the koala to self-relocate to a suitable area
                                                  that is not a proposed disturbance site.
