8.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

The potential impacts associated with the proposed development, and the proposed measures
to mitigate these impacts, are identified in Table 6. The level or likelihood of the impact is
based on the ecological values identified for the site, proposed activity, and feasibility of
prevention and mitigation. A ‘high’ level of impact indicates it is highly likely that this impact will
occur and the ability to prevent the impact is minimal. In these instances, containment of the

impact and / or appropriate and acceptable mitigation measures would be considered. These
recommendations are to be considered in conjunction with other environmental management
measures, such as_ bushfire management, rehabilitation management, stormwater
management, and acid sulfate soils management.

In addition to the mitigation measures outlined below, NSEC advises that an EPBC referral
should be undertaken for the site, prior to development works.

Loss of Low

vegetation . Retention of vegetation within the buffer and remnant wet

heath areas, west of the current caravan park area.

. Rehabilitation of the existing vegetation buffer between the
caravan park area and the remnant wet heath area.

* Prepare and implement a Rehabilitation Management
Plan to direct the rehabilitation and replanting works to
occur within the vegetated buffer area.

. The rehabilitation of this area should consider bushfire
risks and protection of the remnant heath area from
pollutants and stormwater run-off. As such the
rehabilitation should occur in accordance with other
technical reports for the site

= Retention of many of the mature paperbark trees currently
existing within the caravan park area.

' Provision of temporary fencing (before and during
development works) to protect vegetation to be retained

x Fence along the boundary between the caravan park
area and the vegetation buffer; and

. Fence around mature trees to be retained within the
caravan park area.

. Minimise the likelihood of erosion and sedimentation through
the implementation of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan.

. Avoid dispersal of pollutants / chemicals into retained
vegetation areas.

. Ensure all vehicles are cleaned (free of contaminants)
prior to entering the subject site.

= Prepare and implement a stormwater / run-off
management plan.

. Prepare a Landscaping Plan, which incorporates the use of
