Noosa Civic
Construction Environmental Management Plan



4.4                Element 4: Fauna and Flora, Weeds and Pests.
Rationale

Vegetation clearance will be required at the site for earthworks and construction activities. The removal of this vegetation has the potential to
disturb fauna species and adjacent native flora. While existing vegetation within the development areas will only be removed where necessary
for the proposed works, management measures are required to ensure that retained vegetation within and adjacent to the site is protected at all
times, as well as any fauna present.
No vegetation clearance is to be undertaken until relevant permits have been obtained, and all works are to be undertaken in accordance with the
terms and conditions specified in these permits.
Vegetation clearance and management works are to be undertaken in accordance with the project-specific conditions of approval relating to
vegetation clearing.
Objective/Target

To ensure:
     areas of native flora and fauna habitat that are to be retained are appropriately protected during the construction phase;
     authorised flora and fauna habitat disturbance is carried out in accordance with best practice environmental management measures, as well
      as the terms and conditions of relevant permits authorising such disturbance; and
     existing infestations of pest flora or fauna species are controlled and no new pest species are introduced to or spread within the site.
Performance Indicators

Compliance with any project-specific conditions of approval relating to vegetation clearing.
Vegetation adjacent to the proposed development areas is retained and protected at all times during clearing of the site and ongoing works.
The clearance of native vegetation within disturbance areas subject to permits and approvals is undertaken in accordance with the terms and
conditions of those relevant permits.
No invasion/dispersal of weeds or other exotic species.
