4.4 POST-CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT MEASURES


After construction activities, there are several procedures and actions that must be
followed to ensure the site presents no risk to fauna. Procedures and actions include
removing all construction material that could potentially be harmful to koalas and
monitoring the site for the presence of koalas at the end of construction activities. Table 7
summarises the activities and management responses that need to be carried out during
the post-construction phase of the development.
