2.1.2.1
Avoid clearing or damaging protected
or desired vegetation.

   

2.1.2.2
Disposal of cleared vegetation

  
  

Mark boundaries of the area covered by the vegetation clearing permit onsite.
Mark habitat trees to ensure that they are visible to contractors on site.

     
   
   
   

Ensure that plans showing exact location of vegetation to be cleared or retained are available to
contractors on site.

  

  

Clear vegetation as per the DNRW Clearing approval and Ministerial Conditions. I.e. vegetation clearing
is only allowed within 1.5 m from the building footprint except with regard to the retaining walls at the
rear of the building, where vegetation clearing is allowed to the outside edge of the retaining wall.

 

   
    
   
 

Induction of contractors to assist them in complying with the DNRW Clearing approval and ministerial
Conditions.

Clearing of vegetation shall be carried out in a sensitive manner to avoid damage to surrounding trees and
vegetation.

Fencing should be erected prior to the commencement of earthworks. This should be sufficient to prevent
soil, rock and other debris spilling into integral areas during earthworks. The effectiveness of this
technique will need to be monitored during operations and amended if necessary.

Trenches for underground services will follow existing infrastructure alignments, e.g. pathways, bridge
crossing and roads

Prior to clearing, salvage suitable material for use in revegetation areas should be salvaged including logs
for habitat, focal native species (seeds or propagules) and difficult to propagate species.

Cleared vegetation is not to be pushed into areas of retained vegetation.

Cleared vegetation shall be processed and removed from site as per Councils requirements or, excluding
any weed seeds or material, can be mulched and stored onsite to be used in landscaping and rehabilitation.

Burning off is not an appropriate method of disposal.

Weed material is to be bagged, removed from site and disposed of in a Council approved refuse tip.

Implementation Strategy Performance Indicators

     
 

Construction and Operational
Phase EMP

All vegetation proposed to be
retained in Appendix A is retained
undamaged.

     

Construction and Operational
Phase EMP

Logs and mulch are retained and
stored on site for landscaping.

No cleared vegetation found within
protected areas.

 

 

2.1.2.3
Minimise infrastructure which impacts
on significant vegetation

The development has been designed to ensure retention of protected vegetation

Buildings, bridges and pavement areas under the drip line of trees are to be constructed to ensure no
damage occurs to the trees or the roots during construction, including
* construction methods which will have least impact on sensitive protected ecosystems and
vegetation, and
© services are to be located, where possible under existing design features, e.g. vehicle access
L roads, bridges and footpaths,
