4.0 MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

4.1 DESIGN STAGE

The approved site layout/design has incorporated fauna habitat and linkages across the site.
A number of additional fauna management measures are to be implemented at the design
stage (prior to construction) of the development under various other management plans.
Measures identified in this Fauna Management Plan and not specified in other plans are
addressed in the site Environmental Management Plan. Where necessary, measures from
the plans (mentioned below) will also be incorporated into the site Environmental
Management Plan. Specific measures relating to fauna will be completed or supervised,
where appropriate, by the wildlife ecologist.

Ecological Restoration Plan & Specifications

e planting of at least 25 E.tereticornis in private open space for conservation and
waterways protection area within and adjacent to Residential High Density Lot 5;

® no clearing (other than 10m strip adjacent to Serenity Close) will occur within
Residential High Density Lot until 25 E.tereticornis have attained a height of 3m and be
considered to be well established (detailed in Section 3.3.1), in accordance with
Condition RHD 36;

e planting of other suitable canopy species (including &.tereticornis) for all fauna;

included in Residential Single dwelling lots 1-15 and 24-33;

e planting of area adjacent to the existing sewer easement near Residential High Density
Lots 9-11 following completion of necessary engineering works;

e planting of road reserve east of Residential Single Dwelling Lots 1-14 and Lots 24-33
following completion of necessary engineering works;

e initiate restoration in park areas west of RSD following completion of engineering works;

e planting of additional trees in suitable areas within the area identified for ecological
restoration following engineering works;

e initiate weed control — across the site and following engineering works;

e initiate planting and weed control in road reserve following engineering works;

e initiate linkage enhancement; and

e selection of species to be used in restoration to provide resources for range of fauna
(refer Annexure 2),

Fire Management Plan

e Reduce fuel load, including excess litter to less than 10 tonnes/ha.
