            5.2       Fauna

            5.2.1      Impacts
            The proposed development will necessitate a very small amount of impact to fauna habitat in the
            context of the site and the habitat available in the local landscape. No arboreal hollows or nests were
            observed within the individual trees which would be cleared to facilitate the development. The small
            number of native trees required to be cleared have limited habitat potential for fauna species hence
            the impacts to fauna species are expected to be relatively low.
            The impacts to fauna species primarily relate to the following:
                  •    Removal of individual tree species which may provide an occasional foraging source;
                  •    Potential injury or death of individual fauna species during vegetation clearing; and
                  •    Site intensification which has the potential to increase long term impacts to fauna associated
                       with introduction of domestic pets, reduced nocturnal habitat/foraging suitability via
                       introduction of artificial lighting of external buildings environs.

            5.2.2      Mitigation Measures
            The impact of the proposed clearing to fauna is proposed to be mitigated/minimised by:
                  •    The presence of a suitably licensed and experienced fauna spotter catcher on site during any
                       individual tree clearing.
                  •    Revegetation of the mapped riparian buffer area which will introduce fauna habitat in
                       proximity to the offsite riparian vegetation (over time).
