PO4

Development provides for effective measures during
construction and operation to protect ecological values
including:

avoiding disturbance to or clearing of
vegetation in and within the vicinity of the
site;

managing habitat disturbance and physical
harm to fauna from noise, vibration, dust,
light, dewatering or excavating; and
avoiding clearing in areas where erosion or
slippage could occur.

|AO4.1
Vegetation is protected from disturbance or damage from
construction and operation activities by:

1. clearly marking trees to be retained with flagging
tape;

2. _ installing protective fencing around the dripline of the
vegetation and avoid filling and excavating in these
fenced areas;

3. ensuring stockpiling, storage and vehicle parking
occurs outside the identified vegetation areas; and

4. using low impact construction techniques around
vegetation.

|A04.2

Vegetation which is capable of forming or contributing to a
buffer between different land uses or a buffer against pollution,
light spillage or noise is retained.

|A04.3
Lighting associated with development:

does not contribute an unacceptable level of
illuminance (greater than 1 lux) for light sensitive
species within or at the boundary of an ecologically
important area; and

does not contribute to an unacceptable level of
illuminance on landward horizons along coastal areas
and known marine turtle nesting beaches.

|A04.4
Clearing of vegetation does not involve clearing that may cause
or contribute to hillslope erosion, bank erosion, or slippage.
