              (iii)   Justification of the timing of the survey and detail of any limitations and assumptions associated with the timing of the
                      survey.
              (iv)    A map or plan of the proposed impact area indicating the locations of identified animal breeding places.
              (v)     A description of the location.

        (b)   An Impact Management Plan must outline:
              (i)     The nature of the impact
                      (A)   Area (Ha) and number of particular animal breeding places to be tampered with, and the conservation status
                            of the species.
                      (B)   The population dynamics of the species.
                      (C)   The ecology of the species.

              (ii)    An account of all direct and indirect, on an animal breeding place, where tampering is required.
                      (A)   The proposed management of impacts (if any)
                      (B)   A list of appropriate impact management solutions to account for all EVNT, special least concern or colonial
                            breeding places identified in the animal breeding place survey report.
                      (C)   A list of rehabilitation methods to be used in impact management for animal breeding places.

              (iii)   Evidence that alternative options were thoroughly considered.
              (iv)    Contingency planning and process to be followed in the event of unexpected impacts on animal breeding places and
                      other protected animals (e.g. will a Damage Mitigation Permit (culling and dispersal of wildlife) be required?).
              (v)     How the proposed impact management measures are appropriate for the animal breeding places identified and will
                      ensure the animals survival in the wild.
                      (A)   Reference to scientific papers, other Species Management Programs, previously approved reports or written
                            advice from a suitably qualified person or expert regarding the impact management strategies
                      (B)   The expected success rate of the proposed impact management and any serious limitations or potential
                            threats associated with the impact management have been identified.
                      (C)   How limitations or threats to the success of the impact management will be overcome.


 SC6.4.10             Impacts and Recommendations for Ecological Assessments

 (1)    The Noosa Plan makes reference to riparian buffer areas, for the major waterways in the Shire, and native vegetation areas,
        referred to as either ecologically important areas, ecological linkages and wetlands. These are depicted on the Biodiversity,
        Waterways and Wetlands overlay maps (OMBWW1 – OMBWW14) in The Noosa Plan.
 (2)    Ecological Assessment reports should address the Overall and Specific Outcomes of the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands
        Overlay Code in relation to the proposed development. Development that is consistent with the specific outcomes in section 8.2.2
        complies with the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Code.
 (3)    The potential impacts of the proposed development should be outlined, especially with regard to vegetation clearing and impacts
        on near Threatened, Threatened and Significant species. The potential impacts should consider the design, construction and
        operational phase of the development.
 (4)    The assessment of impacts shall provide a discussion of the biological requirements of the flora and fauna species that have
        been recorded from the site or are considered likely to occur on the site, and the implications of the development on the viability of
        the species and the ecosystem. Impacts on fauna breeding places must be clearly identified.
 (5)    Recommendations should address any measures or changes to the development design that may be required to avoid or
        mitigate any impacts of the proposed development during the design, construction and operation phases.
 (6)    The report should discuss the expected impacts of the proposal on site. As a minimum, the report should also:
        (a)   Include recommendations to reduce impacts on surrounding lands;
        (b)   Include recommendations on how to avoid or minimise adverse impacts on remnant native vegetation and other areas of
              habitat significance through sympathetically designed development layout plans;
        (c)   Highlight areas for the retention and protection of remnant native vegetation and native fauna habitat;
        (d)   Highlight areas that should be buffered;
        (e)   Highlight areas that should be fenced;
        (f)   Highlight areas requiring weed control; and
