     •    Survey accurate the identification of areas for bushfire setback/buffer and property boundaries;
     •    Installation of high visibility temporary fencing along the boundary of the subject land (property
          boundary) with “NO GO” or similar signage;
     •    Installation of temporary fencing (e.g. star picket/hazard tape) along the bushfire buffer 4;
     •    Protective fencing to incorporate tree protection measures (TPZ) in accordance with Australian
          Standards for Tree Protection;
     •    Glossy Black-cockatoo trees identified for retention to be cleared marked and individually
          protected, if necessary (e.g. close to clearing area); and
     •    Fauna access/escape passage is to be provided at strategic locations along the fencing (i.e. to allow
          fauna to move into retained bushland during the clearing process).

Vegetation protection fencing to be inspected by Council prior to any site clearing works.

Tree protection measures to be in accordance with AS4970: Protection of Trees on Development Sites.
