PART 2: EMP ELEMENTS

 

2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

 

This EMP is comprised of several Management Plans (MP) that will assist in the design of
the development and practices to be used during the construction and operational phases of
the development to minimise environmental impact. The following provides the philosophy
behind each MP:

° Site Control Management Plan
This MP will set out the timing and access of different contractors and personnel to the
site.

° Vegetation Management Plan
The clearing of native vegetation onsite is strictly controlled by the Ministerial
Conditions. This MP will set out the targets and broad strategies to protect retained
vegetation, during the clearing of each stage. The Vegetation Management Plan
comprises measures to minimise the impact of development on retained vegetation,
reduce the spread of weeds during the construction phase and control erosion through
the retention and establishment of vegetation.

° Fauna Management Plan
This MP is designed to minimise impact on the native fauna and its habitat during the
construction and operational phases of the development. It is aimed at retaining habitat
and corridor values to ensure that native animals currently using the site will continue
to do so into the future.

e Weed Management Plan
Weeds can degrade native vegetation and habitat, can increase fire fuels loads and can
impact human health. The MP identifies the measures required to remove and control
weeds on the site and to limit the re-establishment.

° Pest Management Plan
Introduced animal pests can have a devastating impact on native fauna and flora. This
management plan sets out guidelines to control pests and minimise the impact on the
flora, fauna and habitat qualities of the site.

° Erosion & Sediment Control Plan
The site is generally steep and has a freshwater creek at the bottom of the slope. In
combination with the nature of the sandy soil onsite poses erosion and sedimentation
