IMPACT

LEVEL OF
IMPACT

PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES

 

Loss of
vegetation

(con't)

native and endemic plant species.

Regular monitoring, and repair if necessary, of temporary
fences (erected prior to and during construction phase)
bordering retained vegetation and areas of disturbance.

Suitable management of soil stripping and vegetation
mulching;

No dumping of refuse into retained vegetation areas.

Ongoing monitoring (and action if necessary) of all
rehabilitation areas in accordance with the Rehabilitation
Management Plan.

 

Loss of
significant
fauna / habitat

Low

Prepare an Environmental Management Plan for the pre-,
during, and post-construction phases, which will incorporate
detailed fauna management sections

Habitat for significant flora and fauna species will be retained
and enhanced within vegetated buffer and remnant wet heath
areas.

Site management plans / strategies to manage for significant
species during construction and operation are recommended.

Habitat and food resource trees are included in landscaping
and rehabilitation areas.

Any vegetation clearing on site will be conducted in a
sequential manner to allow koalas to move off the site at their
own accord.

Prior to tree felling activities, a spotter-catcher will be
employed to supervise clearing activities.

If a koala is spotted (by any person) in a tree on site during
vegetation clearing works, the tree containing the koala/s and
the surrounding trees must not be cleared on that day. These
trees may only be cleared on subsequent days if the koala/s
has moved out of them at their own will.

Fauna boxes will be erected in suitable trees to help offset the
potential necessary removal of hollow-bearing trees during the
construction phase.

Reduced speed limits (recommended maximum of 10 km) will
be implemented on the subject site’s internal road system.

Prohibition of domestic pets (e.g., dogs and cats) within the
site before, during, and after development works.

 

Water Quality /
Stormwater

 

 

High

 

Prepare a Stormwater Management and Water Quality Plan
for the site to appropriately manage the stormwater from the
proposed development (before, during, and after construction).

Appropriate barriers and fencing (along the boundary between
the existing caravan park area and the vegetated buffer)
during the construction phase to prevent contaminants
entering the wet heath area;

Appropriate stormwater infrastructure implemented (in
accordance with relevant stormwater plans for the subject
site);

Appropriate litter control measures across the site to prevent
litter and contaminants from the industrial area entering the
wet heath areas;

Appropriate _sediment__and__erosion control __measures
