PO11

Development is designed, constructed and operated to—

1. protect and enhance koalas and koala habitat
and avoid adverse impacts;

2. provide measures to assist the survival of koala
populations in the area to mitigate any potential
threats or risk to koalas; and

3. provide for safe and appropriate koala

movement across the landscape.

Editor's Note—Koala habitat mapping is in Schedule 2 Mapping.

Editor's Note—The Planning Regulation 2017, schedule 10 states
that development that interferes with koala habitat, in an area
that is both a koala priority area and a koala habitat area, is
\prohibited development (subject to the exceptions stated in
Ischedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017).

Editor's Note - These performance outcomes and acceptable
loutcomes apply to:

development on land in a koala priority area, where the
development does not interfere with koala habitat and
where the benchmarks are additional to and not
inconsistent with, the assessment benchmarks stated in
schedule 11, part 2 of the Planning Regulations 2017;
and

development on land outside the koala priority area,
where the development does not interfere with koala
habitat in koala habitat areas.

AQ11.1

Development design complies with the Koala-sensitive
Design Guideline: A quide to koala sensitive design measures
for planning and development activities.

AO11.2

Development incorporates revegetation and landscaping
that provides food, shelter and movement opportunities for
koalas.

A011.3

Development is designed to maximise and enhance
connectivity between koala habitat trees and ensure safe
koala movement.

\AQ11.4

During construction, measures are incorporated to not
increase the risk of death or injury to koalas, by including
safe koala movement measures, as defined in the Planning
Regulation 2017.
