                       1.    To obtain baseline data on EVNT species occurrence within the footprint of proposed works to allow impacts on populations of
Objectives                   these species to be measured.
                       2.    To ensure minimal disturbance of EVNT species habitat is considered during implementation of works.

                     follows:                                                                                                  / Ecologist         suitable climatic

                              woody debris and other suitable habitat/refuge including areas of ponded water following
                              methods outlined in Section 6.1.
                             Pre-clearance surveys will be conducted in accordance with the relevant relocation measures
