 Install temporary     1)     Temporary fauna exclusion             Contractor       Immediately
 fauna exclusion              fences should be erected                               prior to
 fencing                      around the site.                                       vegetation

                          construction side) to deter
                          fauna from climbing into
                          construction area.
                       3) The design of the fauna
                          exclusion fences must follow the
                          Koala-Sensitive Design Guideline
                          2022 (Department of
                          Environment and Science 2022).
                       4) Once temporary fauna fence is
                          installed, Wildlife
                          Spotter/Catcher to search
                          within the fencing prior to any
                          construction work and relocate
                          fauna outside of construction
                          zone enclosed by these
                          temporary fences. Refer to
                          Figure 3 for the location of
                          fauna exclusion fencing.
                       5) Depending on the duration of
                          construction, weekly monitoring
                          of the temporary fauna fences
                          should be undertaken, including:
                            a) Monitoring of the condition of
                               the temporary fauna fencing
                               to ensure it is still functioning;
                             Assessment and necessary
                             maintenance to remove any
                             vegetation of the non-
                             construction side of the
                             temporary fence to avoid fauna
                             climbing or launching over the
                             fence; and
                            6) Searching within fence
                            boundaries for any additional
                            fauna and relocating them outside
                            of the construction zone.
                       7) Incorporate additional features
                          such as escape poles, koala
                          gates or other devices on the
                          construction side of the fauna
                          exclusion fence to allow fauna
                          trapped in the construction zone
                          to exit. The design of those
