1     INTRODUCTION

1.1      Background
North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned by to prepare a Fauna Management
Plan to manage fauna during and prior to vegetation clearing proposed to be undertaken on land
formally known as Lot 101 on SP142407, Lot 140 on MCH978, Lot 3 on RP137375, Lot 2 on
RP852009 and Lot 8 on RP160703, located at 27 Wilgee Court, Cooroy (referenced hereafter as
‘the site’):
The habitat removal predominantly consists of regrowth vegetation which is required to be removed
in order to carry out bulk earthworks on the site to accommodate an approved rural-residential
development (16 new residential lots). The majority of intact vegetation within the site is proposed to
be retained.

1.2      General Responsibilities
All fauna management services undertaken within the site are to be conducted in accordance with
all applicable and relevant local, State and Commonwealth government guidelines and legislation.
A suitably qualified and appropriately experienced fauna spotter/catcher is to be employed to
undertake the fauna management services prior to and during all clearing activities.
The Project Manager is responsible for ensuring that all persons directly and indirectly associated
with the fauna management activities understand the vegetation and fauna management measures
prescribed within this Fauna Management Plan. Failure to comply with the management measures
prescribed herein may result in the contravention of local, State and Commonwealth legislative
responsibilities. The Project Manager should contact Council’s environmental staff where doubt
arises over any vegetation removal/habitat disturbance situations before the activity in question
proceeds.
