The Fauna Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with Condition 2 of the
Referral agency response—with conditions issued by the State Assessment and Referral
Agency (SARA) on 26 October 2023 (SARA Ref: 2210-31715 SRA). Condition 2 of the
SARA response requires:

Prior to any building or operational works being undertaken prepare a Koala Management
Plan, which must:

   a) Identify the clearing and construction activities that may increase the risk of stress,
      injury or death to koalas.
   b) Detail the management measures that will be implemented during clearing works to
      prevent the risk identified in Part (a)(i) of this condition. This includes, but is not
      limited to, all of the following:
              ● Details of pre-clearing inspections of the vegetation to be cleared;
              ● Measures required under the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation
                 Plan 2017, including the staging and sequencing of clearing and
                 provisions for a koala spotter during clearing operations;
              ● Procedures for the recovery of koalas;
              ● Measures for dealing with trapped, injured and deceased koalas;
              ● Contact details for the contractor for reports of at risk or injured koalas;
              ● Procedures for checking machinery for koalas;
              ● Measures to protect retained koala habitat and vegetation (including
                 open land) in accordance with Australian Standard AS4970-2009.
              ● The use of fauna exclusion fencing;
              ● Measures to minimise the impact of construction related dust on adjacent
                 koala habitat;
              ● Signage in areas of vehicular traffic on site;
              ● Measures to manage the risks posed by dogs (e.g., guard dogs) on site;
              ● Measures to raise awareness amongst construction workers of koalas on
                 and near the construction activities.
