        The Developer will ensure that contractual documents with the Contractor for the implementation of
        the Ecological Restoration Plan (ERP) specifically quote the EMP as a responsibility. The
        contractual documents should also indicate that the ERP Contractor is responsible for ensuring EMP
        compliance. It should be noted that the ‘Duty of Care’ will apply to all personnel working in the ERP
        area.

        This EMP will be attached to all tender documents provided to any tenderers and compliance with the
        EMP will be a condition of contract.

        It should be noted that the Principal Contractor for the construction of the RHD and RSL areas will
        be required to appoint a Site Environmental Officer (SEO). It is expected that the ERP Contractor
        will regularly liaise (at least on a weekly basis) with the Restoration Ecologist. The ERP Contractor
        should also liaise regularly with the SEO to ensure the work programs are compatible with common
        objectives in relation to environmental management.

        responsible for overseeing the implementation of EMP 3 including liaison with Council. The ERP
        contractor will be responsible for on-site implementation and compliance by other subcontractors and
        employees with the EMP. Settlers Cove Development Pty Ltd will appoint the Restoration Ecologist
        responsible for monitoring and assessing on-going compliance with the provisions of the ERP. The
        Restoration Ecologist is expected to be also responsible for the implementation of EMP3 in addition
        to implementation issues identified for the RHD and RSL developments as specified in EMP 1 and 2.
        The Restoration Ecologist position involves the co-ordination of a number of supplementary positions
        including a wildlife spotter/catcher, plant ecologist, arborist/arboriculturalist, as well as the
        Ecological Restoration Plan contractor.

        The Restoration Ecologist will liaise regularly with the Wildlife Ecologist as defined in EMP’s 1 and
        2.Roles and responsibilities and required qualifications and experience for these positions have been
