                                                                                                                                          Native Foresters


                                 If any other threatened fauna species are impacted during construction, work will cease in
                                  the immediate vicinity of the sighting until they have moved off or a suitably qualified Fauna
                                  Spotter-catcher called in to remove them.
                                 The Fauna Spotter-catcher will maintain records of all fauna relocated (Appendix C) or
                                  injured (Appendix D) and report to the Site Supervisor.
                                 Prior to clearing and concurrent with the relocation of fauna, all large woody debris and
                                  rocks should be removed and relocated into surrounding natural areas.

                               Ensure works do not concentrate flows into EVNT species habitat.                                   Site Foreman         As appropriate

Construction                                                                                                                                            during clearing
                          Equipment, including tracks and buckets, should be cleaned prior to arrival on site to
                             prevent transfer of fungal pathogens that can impact on frog populations and lead to
                             spread of undesirable weeds.
                          During periods of wet weather site personnel to check under materials and equipment
                             each morning before using to ensure EVNT species are not taking refuge under these
                             items.
                          Contractors/machinery operators should determine suitable locations for dispersal of
                             material (vegetation, soil, silt etc.) removed from EVNT species habitat areas taking into
                             account the need for the Fauna Spotter-catcher to access fauna found alive, injured or
                             deceased in such material.
                      Reduce habitat loss/damage:
                                 Disperse materials (e.g. excavated vegetation, soil, etc) wherever possible to allow fauna
                                  to escape and Fauna Spotter-catcher to inspect. Following a reasonable amount of time
                                  after which no fauna is found, material can be stockpiled or removed from site.
