               Fauna Management
               A fauna management plan has been submitted as part of the application material that addresses
               condition 72 of the Development Permit for Material Change of Use for Resort Complex and Shop
               (132008.176.05) as well as condition 2 of the Referral agency response – with conditions issued
               by the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) on 26 October 2023 (SARA Ref: 2210-
               31715 SRA).
               Condition 72 requires specific fauna management requirements to occur in a particular order to
               ensure the safety of fauna on the site in accordance with the following requirements:
                    • Nature Conservation Act 1992
                    • Department of Environment and Heritage Protection 2013- Code of Practise – Care of sick,
                      injured or orphaned protected animals in Queensland.
                    • Department of Environment and Science (2022). Koala-sensitive design guideline: A guide
                      to koala-sensitive design measures for planning and development activities.
                    • Queensland Code of Practice for the welfare of wild animals affected by land-clearing and
                      other habitat impacts and wildlife spotter/catcher
               The fauna management plan had provided a summary of activities and management responses
               that must be followed to ensure vegetation clearing is managed correctly, and that any fauna
               observed on site is appropriately protected and managed. Procedures and actions include ensuring
               that a Fauna Spotter is on site and managing the vegetation clearing activities, and that clearing is
               occurring in a staged manner that allows fauna to move off site unimpeded.
               The direction and sequences of clearing is proposed below:
