                        metre vegetated setback from Serenity Close and Banksia Avenue and the

                        Fauna Management
                 72.    Vegetation must only be removed or disturbed in accordance with a fauna management
                        plan prepared by a qualified person* and endorsed through an Operational Works
                        approval and must address the following:
                        Site inspection
                        (a)       Prior to any site disturbance, a site inspection will be completed by a suitably
                                  qualified person* to identify any follow-bearing trees and/or other significant
                                  habitat features (i.e. den sites, nests, hollowed termitarium etc.) These will be
                                  clearly marked in the field with high visibility paint as well as shown on
                                  appropriately scaled plans.
                        Pre-clearing fauna trapping
                        (b)       Subsequent to the site inspection, and prior to commencement of site clearing
                                  works, a pre-clearing trapping program will be completed targeting native
                                  ground-dwelling and arboreal mammals. The trapping program will be designed
                                  to progressively move through the site, from the north towards the south, ahead
                                  of the subsequent under scrubbing operations. Each area will be trapped for a
                                  minimum of four (4) nights, and any animals captured will be relocated to suitable
                                  habitat area/s in consultation with Noosa Shire Council and the Department of
                                  Environment and Science (DES). Arboreal mammals captured will be re-located
                                  within suitably designed nest-boxes to be installed at the agreed release site.
                        (c)       Once the area has been trapped, and the extent of the trapped area clearly
                                  identified the groundcover and midstory can be cleared utilising slashing or
                                  similar. Any hollow-bearing trees and/or other significant habitat features
                                  identified during the initial site inspection will be retained. All under scrubbing
                                  works will be completed with a suitably qualified fauna spotter/catcher in
                                  attendance.
                        Clearing non-habitat trees
                        (d)       After under scrubbing of each area is complete, non-habitat trees (i.e. trees other
                                  than those identified as habitat trees) will be cleared and stockpiled for mulching.
                                  Clearing of non-habitat trees will only occur where their removal will not impact
                                  on identified habitat trees (e.g. canopies do not interconnect with habitat trees).
