     •    All understorey up to 6m in height will be removed and the ground fuels maintained at <8
          tonnes/ha by physical means.
     •    This will be the ongoing responsibility of the owner of Lot 12.
     •    Bollards/survey markets to be installed along the bushfire management zone

Cov J - continue to function as a stormwater drainage area

The maintenance for disturbed planted areas is to be for a period of 24 months following completion
of initial planting. Weed control is to form part of the monitoring and maintenance. The performance
objective/signoff criteria and corrective actions are listed in Table 5 below. Maintenance of the areas
should be undertaken quarterly as necessary; however it would be expected that greater levels of
attention will be necessary at the initial stages.
Table 5. Target Criteria and Corrective Actions for Open Space Areas

 Target at 24 Months                                          Corrective Action
 No significant weed establishment in the open space areas    implement weed control
 No significant bare areas/erosion                            implement infill planting, stabilisation
 Planted plants showing signs of health and vigour            water, replace
 Fencing intact                                               Replace/repair
 Cov L – maintain for bushfire management                     vegetation clearing to reduce fuel loads


Open space management actions and ongoing maintenance to be implemented by suitably qualified
contractor with advice sought from ecologist where necessary.

Monitoring to be completed by appropriately qualified ecologist at 12 months with report for Council
