Retaining koala habitat areas

Acceptable outcomes

| Response

 

PO1 Development interfering with koala habitat (including
interfering with koala habitat as a result of material change
of use and interfering with koala habitat as a result of
reconfiguring a lot) does not occur unless the application
demonstrates the interfering with koala habitat has:

1. been reasonably avoided; or

2. been reasonably minimised where it cannot be
reasonably avoided; and

3. mitigated the impacts of the interfering with koala
habitat values.

No acceptable outcome is prescribed.

Complies with PO1 — The proposed development will have
some impact on NUKHTs within the Core Koala Habitat
Area to the north of the development on the subject land;
however, the impact has been minimised as much as
possible. The site is not designated a Koala Priority Area.

The impact upon the koala habitat on the site has been
considered by Gondwana Ecology in the Terrestrial Ecology
Assessment provided as Appendix B. The proposed
development will result in the removal of 19 NJUKHTs, for
which an environmental offset is being provided.

 

Koala sensitive design and connectivity

 

PO2 The design and siting of development avoids
fragmenting koala habitat areas within the site.

No acceptable outcome is prescribed.

Complies with PO2 — Given the nature of the remanent
vegetation on the site, which is limited to an isolated and
disjointed pocket towards the north, the existing koala
habitat will not be further fragmented by the development
(refer Appendix B).

 

PO3 The design and siting of development does not result
in impediments that restrict the movement of koalas by
providing for safe koala movement between highly
connected patches of retained koala habitat area.

No acceptable outcome is prescribed.

Complies with PO3 — The proposed development will not
impede or restrict the movement of koalas through the site.

 

Koala safety from construction activities

 

PO4 The construction of the development does not
increase the risk of injury or death of koalas.

 

 

AO4.1 A koala management plan is provided that includes:

1. activities that may cause injury or death of koalas from
construction activities; and

2. acceptable measures to avoid and mitigate injury or
death of koalas from construction activities

 

Complies with PO4 — A small number of NJKHTs are to be
removed from within an isolated pocket of remanent
vegetation. It is not expected that the construction of the
development will increase the risk of injury or death of
koalas. A koala spotter could be used at the time of tree
removal, which could be conditioned.
