                                                                                           2006/823

      79.2. the full Lot 888 eastern boundary located adjacent to the development area.
80.   A 1.8m min high chain mesh fence shall be erected along the 10m setback line located on the
      northern side of the intermittent creek (measured horizontally from the centreline of the
      intermittent creek), for the full length of the construction zone for Buildings I to F; prior to the
      commencement of any construction work on the site. The fence shall be setback a greater
      distance from the northern boundary of the creek to avoid trees or difficult topography on the
      10m setback alignment. No entry into the intermittent creek setback area is permitted except
      for environmental rehabilitation purposes and authorised stormwater infrastructure
      construction. No fill or construction rubbish shall enter this private open space setback area.
81.   The precise location and extent of the fencing referred to above shall be determined on-site
      during a joint inspection by the Developer and the Manager – Land Use. The fencing is to be
      maintained throughout the construction period and may only be removed with the agreement
      of the Manager – Land Use.
82.   Any diversion drains, dewatering activities or excavation work for foundations or basements
      that are installed during construction work on the site shall ensure that adequate groundwater
      seepage occurs so as to maintain the existing downslope vegetation in the intermittent creek
      by not detrimentally altering the existing downslope soil moisture regime. The Site Arborist (in
      conjunction with a professional hydrologist/ groundwater specialist as required) shall regularly
      monitor and provide advice on this matter.
83.   Adequate groundwater seepage shall be maintained at all times to ensure the existing natural
      vegetation in the intermittent creek and soil moisture regimes are not altered as a result of
      building activity.
84.   Retaining wall footings shall bridge the tree roots of existing trees to be retained where
      determined as necessary and practical by the Site Arborist, Site Civil Engineer - Design and
      Manager Land Use to retain stable and healthy trees on the site.
85.   The buildings and any retaining walls in the immediate vicinity of the bunya trees located near
      Building J shall incorporate particular design features to protect the roots of these trees from
      damage. The site arborist shall submit a report to Council discussing the impact of the
      building and building setback on the tree roots in conjunction with the Development
      Application for Operational Works.
86.   The construction of the eastern gabion wall shall minimise any detrimental impact on the
      vegetation in this area.
Vegetation Removal and Disposal
87.   Vegetation removal, tree felling and lopping shall be undertaken in an environmentally
      sensitive manner to avoid damaging surrounding vegetation, trees and habitat.
88.   Prior to felling or lopping all trees are to be checked for wildlife (eg Koalas, cockatoos,
      possums). If wildlife species are present, the tree shall not be felled or lopped until the wildlife
      has left the tree.
89.   All cleared vegetation shall be suitably processed and utilised on the site as mulch or removed
      from the Site at the Developer’s expense by a method approved by the Manager – Land Use.
Cryptocarya foetida
90.   The vulnerable plant Cryptocarya foetida and its habitat is not to be adversely affected by any
      activity associated with the construction and operation of the Development.
91.   The buffer area in the adjacent park Lots 104 & 105 (to the north of Building E) required to
      protect the known Cryptocarya foetida specimens and their habitat, during construction, shall
      not be interfered with.
