         The Landscape Master Plan shall be consistent with Planning Scheme Policy
        No. | — Landscaping Guidelines, and will primarily utilise native species that
         have been recorded on the site.     Landscaped areas shall be integrated
         floristically and structurally with the surrounding native vegetation.
   4.    The Environmental Management Plan shall incorporate the requirement for
         annual environmental compliance monitoring and annual audit reports to be
         submitted to Council for the operation of the development. The format and
         content of these reports shall demonstrate compliance with the Management
         Plan and Consent Order and include a written discussion of the results and
         recommend any necessary actions.

         implemented to ensure that the impact of the development on the environment
         is minimised and that the environmental values of the site are protected and
         enhanced.    The   Environmental   Management    Plan  is to  address  the
         implementation of the requirements of the ecological restoration plan, sediment
         and erosion control plan, water quality management plan, landscape master
        plan; and address all other environmental considerations deemed relevant to the
         approved use and local environment, in order to minimize environmental harm
         and  provide   for  progressive  self-sustainable landscape/ecosystem _ re-
         habilitation. The EMP should be prepared to a standard necessary to meet
         Council requirements and recognized industry standards. The EMP is to:
         e    Comply with AS00014.
         e    Demonstrate a high level of environmental care and responsibility and be
              consistent with best practice for developments of this type in similar
              environments.
