Response to Development Application

The EPA, acting as an advice agency under the integrated Planning Act 1997, provides the follawing advice to
the application as detailed above.

EPA advice

The EPA has no major concerns regarding the impacts of the development on local biodiversity.

The development lies in Urban Koala Area which is non statutory koala habitat under the Nature Conservation
(Koala) Conservation Plan 2006 and Management Program 2006-2076 (koala plan). The applicant should
consult the policies in the koala plan for advice regarding koala sensitive development, including requirements
for use of spotter catehers during clearing and tree removal activities and methods for traffic management to
reduce impacts on koalas. ,

The adjacent remnant vegetation and conservation estate contain areas mapped as core habitat for frog
species associated with wallum habitats. These species may also occupy disturbed areas including aritifical
waterbodies and may be found on site. The development application contains no information on fauna values in
the development footprint, Planning the development to allow linkages between the golf course and adjacent
park amy enhance environmental outcomes of the proposal

The recommendations contained in the flora assessment in relation to retention and rehabilitation of vegetation
along the drainage line in the south west of the site are supported. This may augment any existing widlife
habitat and corridor functions of the patches of non remnant vegetation in the golf course grounds.

A general planning consideration is whether the proposed residential development is consistent with the original
purpose of the golf course precinct and therefore whether it will meet with community expectations about the
long term use of the area.
