of hatchlings, the following actions are recommended to be undertaken during construction of
the development:
a. Construction works are to be restricted to daylight hours during the turtle nesting and
hatching season (October – May).
b. Flood lighting must not be used from October – May (turtle nesting and hatching
season).

beach to minimise disruption to turtle nesting and sea-finding behaviour of hatchlings.
Management measures include reduced intensity, long wavelength lights; shielded, low to
the ground, and directed onto areas of interest; low reflectance building surfaces and paint;
and tinted external glass. The following should be incorporated into the development:
a. All windows, glass doors, glass panels and sky lights facing the beach (NE, E, SE) to
have 15% visible light transmittance tinting.

indoor lights to have a maximum of 3000 K CCT. All lighting (interior and exterior) to
avoid the use of halogen, metal halide, or fluorescent lights.
e. Amber LED (590-610 nm) or low pressure sodium lighting to be used as a standard.
Warm white is to be used only where colour rendition is required. LED lights should not
contain short wavelength blue light and supplier should be asked to provide spectral
power curve of requested LEDs to prove the absence of short wavelengths.
f. The number and wattage of lights to be minimised.
g. All lights to be recessed into structures and roof, and directed away from the turtle nesting
habitat.
h. No lighting should be located on the roof of the building.
i. All outdoor lights, including balcony lights, to be turned off between 8:00 pm and sunrise

stairwells, entry points etc.), the lighting of these areas should be activated by proximity
sensors or motion detectors with an associated deactivation of the lighting after no more
than 10 minutes during turtle nesting and hatching season (October – May). For lighting
in other areas, timers, proximity or motion activated light sensors should be used
wherever possible.
m. Decorative outdoor lighting should not be fitted to the buildings, open space or recreation
areas (e.g. Fairy/Christmas lights) during nesting and hatching season (October – May).
