           on-site, including any setback requirements for bushfire mitigation purposes, for Council officers
           to inspect prior to commencement of any vegetation clearing.
           Vegetation must only be removed or disturbed in accordance an approved Fauna Management Plan for the
 15        development must be prepared by a qualified person and submitted to Council prior to the issue of any Development
           Permit for Operational Works.
           The fauna management plan is to detail the methods to ensure the fauna values of the site are
           managed in a way that the removal of vegetation from the site does not cause immediate harm
15.1
           to fauna. The application must ensure spotter/catchers are engaged and reports are supplied to         VFMP Section 4
           the relevant statutory authorities. The fauna management plan is to prohibit on-site dogs or cats
           during the construction process and prohibit cats or dogs during the operational use of the site.
           All identified Glossy Black Food trees are to be propagated at a ratio of 8:1 from the parent tree
 16        and replanted in landscaping areas on the development site and maintained for a specified              VFMP Section 2
           period of time (minimum 3 years).
           All protected vegetation removal must be undertaken in accordance with the relevant provisions
 17        of applicable legislation. Any operational works application must detail the clearing procedures      VFMP Section 4-5
           and address any relevant Koala clearing guidelines or regulations.
           Any lighting to the development is not to impact on the ecological values of the adjacent National
           Park and the southern portion of Lot 9 SP 252905, i.e. lighting must not be directed toward, and
 18        light spill must be minimised to, the adjacent National Park or remnant vegetation to the south.       VFMP Section 6
           Details of the design response to this requirement must be submitted with the application for
           operational works.
           With the exception of fencing to the boundaries with adjoining residential allotments or the Sunrise Beach shops, any
 19        new fencing to delineate boundary alignments must be constructed to allow for the movement of fauna. Such fencing
           must:
19.1       Allow adequate clearance at ground level for local macropods                                           VFMP Section 7
19.2       Not include any use of barbed wire or similar materials                                                VFMP Section 7
19.3       Provide regular opportunities for passage over and through for local native fauna                      VFMP Section 7
           Any new fencing to common boundaries with adjoining residential allotments or the Sunrise
 20        Beach shops shall be of timber construction or incorporate timber koala poles of at least 200mm        VFMP Section 7
           diameter at maximum centres of 10 metres.
