      b.   Restoration of the reserve area (excluding a 20m setback from the rear
           boundaries of the proposed lots) must occur in accordance with a restoration
           plan approved by Council. The restoration plan shall specify a maintenance

           include, at a minimum the following items:
           i.      A species palette incorporating only native local species, consistent with
                   the original landscape species assemblage and suitable for the location;
           ii.     Species selection must be weighted towards primary koala food trees;
           iii.    Measurable and achievable criteria on which the performance of the
                   floristic and structural component of the re-vegetation strategy can be
                   assessed annually over three years, including no weeds on the entire
                   reserve area for all of the 3 years and at the end of the re-vegetation
                   period;
           iv.     All nursery stock shall be weed, pest and disease free and certified as
                   such from the supplier;
           v.      Control of all declared plants under the Land Protection (Pest and Stock

                   identified in writing by Council.
           vi.     Nesting boxes of a range of sizes must be installed in nominated trees
                   within the protected land suitable for local native fauna. The number, type,
                   size, location and purpose of the nesting boxes are to be specified. The
                   manner in which these nesting boxes are to be maintained shall also be
                   specified.
           vii.    Practical and cost effective bushfire management recommendations taking
                   into account the existing and potential fuel loads as a result of rehabilitation
                   of the reserve area. This shall be undertaken by a suitably qualified
                   bushfire management professional.

                   with retained trees root zones.
           This condition is imposed pursuant to s665 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009
