 vegetation         hollow logs, as well as number of nests or
 clearing           possum dens. The location and details of
                    additional habitat features that have not
                    already been identified in this FMP should be
                    recorded and mapped using a GPS, with
                    hollow-bearing trees marked with flagging tape
                    to assist in relocating those able to be
                    salvaged.
                  • A scaled map showing the location of the
                    habitat features is to be prepared and included
                    in the pre-clearing survey report (refer below).
                  • Include as part of this survey the identity of any
                    fauna species confirmed as occupying or
                    utilising hollows, including native bees and their
                    hives (e.g. Trigona spp., Austroplebeia spp.).
                  • Vegetation containing Koala(s) and other fauna
                    is to be demarcated with high visibility flagging
                    tape.
 Pre-clearing     • The Wildlife Spotter Catcher is to compile and       Wildlife Spotter      Prior to the

                    along with recommendations on appropriate
                    clearing methodologies and fauna capture /
                    removal techniques. A scaled map showing the
                    location of the habitat features is to be
                    prepared and included in the pre-clearing
                    survey report.
 Site induction   • The Wildlife Spotter Catcher must clearly            Contractor,           Prior to any
