outlined in Part 3 of the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 and requirements for
native vegetation clearing as outline in Part 3 of the Planning Regulation 2017 by ensuring that not
more than 50% of the site is cleared in any 1 stage (as the clearing area is less than 6ha). Clearing
must also ensure that between each stage and the next there is at least 1 period of 12 hours starting
at 6p.m. on a day and ending at 6a.m. on the following day during which no trees are cleared on the
site.

5.5      Fauna Monitoring
During vegetation clearing, the fauna spotter/catcher is to monitor all fauna that may be at risk of
injury or death by the vegetation clearing. The fauna spotter/catcher is responsible for removing all
wildlife from within the clearance zone to minimise the potential for injury or death.

5.6      Injured Fauna
In the instance of fauna injury, the subject animal/s and injuries are to be assessed on site by the
fauna spotter/catcher and where the injury is of a minor nature then the animal is to be released into
suitable habitat adjacent to the site. Alternatively, injured fauna is to be taken to a veterinarian or a
registered wildlife carer as deemed required by the fauna spotter/catcher.




                                                                                                            DRAFT - NOT APPROVED FOR SUBMISSION
All fauna removed from the site by the fauna spotter/catcher due to injury or requiring care are to be
returned by the fauna spotter/catcher to the relocation habitat in the directly adjacent habitat to the
south of the site in the first instance, or where not suitable similar habitat (as deemed appropriate by
the fauna spotter/catcher) in proximity to the site.
