             through and within the site. These structures would be constructed in consultation with the
             Wildlife Ecologist, to determine the most appropriate location and design that maximises the
             retention of fauna movement through and within the site.
       3. Design guidelines will stipulate that all constructed pools within residential allotments are to be
          fitted with a rope to allow for a Koala to exit the pool.
       4. Irrigation designs are to accord with the provisions of the Landscape Master Plan.

       5. Swale systems are to be established in accordance with the engineering design and planted in
          accordance with the Landscape Master Plan.

       All windows and doors to be screened with mosquito proof gauze in accordance with Council
       conditions.

       Performance Requirement: Vegetation and fauna management actions are in accordance with this
       EMP and the approved Landscape Master Plan and Fauna Management Plan and are incorporated
       within all future operational works applications for development of the site.

       Monitoring: The Landscape Architect and Wildlife Ecologist will check all future applications for
       compliance prior to lodgement with Council for approval.

       Reporting: To be incorporated within operational works applications to Council.

3.3     Element D.3: Pre-Construction Planning

        It is also important that the Principal Contractor undertake pre-construction planning to ensure that
        when construction commences, all works are carried out from inception in conformance with the
        EMP. Issues for consideration are identified in the following element. The various elements in the
        Construction section of this EMP should also be reviewed prior to construction commencing.
        Policy:            To ensure pre-site construction planning takes account of the need to protect adjacent
                           bushland and wetland ecosystems and existing residential amenity..



       Strategy:           To undertake pre-construction planning of the location of environmental
                           controls, construction facilities and associated storage and disposal areas to
                           ensure minimal impact during the construction phase.

       Responsibility: Principal Contractor

       Management Actions: Upon award of the Construction contract, the Principal Contractor will ensure
       that:
       1. Final approved plans are available that indicate:
