MCU14/0106 & OPW15/0001 Information Request Response Report (absent appendices)

                                                                                    MCU14/0106



argyrea (Near Threatened under the NC(W)R) in the Wildnet search. The likelihood or
known occurrence of these species should be discussed within ecological reporting.

Information Required
59     Update the ecological reporting to include:
       (a)    all known or predicted flora species of conservation significance.
       (b)    update Figure 7 to show the location of all known species of conservation
              significance
       (c)    provide details of which areas have been subjected to detailed/targeted
              searches for significant flora

Issue – Presence of Conservation Significant Species
       There are species of conservation significance known on or nearby the subject site.

Information Required
60     Provide a Significant Species Management Plan, which addresses all known and
       potentially occurring significant species. The Significant Species Management Plan
       should provide:
       (a)    detailed figures showing all significant habitat/s,
       (b)    known significant species locations,
       (c)    mitigation and management responses, and
       (d)    monitoring requirements.

Issue – Presence of Conservation Significant Species
       The proposed layout retains habitats which are known to provide habitat for species
       of conservation significance.

Information Required
61     Provide a Habitat Management Plan for species of conservation significance which
       details management and mitigation actions of potential impacts to retained habitats
       for construction and operational phases of the development.

Issue – Legibility of Figures
       Figure 2 contains symbols which do not appear in the legend and one symbol in the
       legend is duplicated. The current figure results in difficulties in appraising the spatial
       locations of key elements. Of particular concern is the difficulty in interpreting where
       koala habitat tree density survey points are located.

Information Required
62     Supply Figure 2 with improved legend to allow clear definition of values shown.

Issue – Fauna & Insect Management
The open space areas will continue to support mosquitos and fauna. Concerns are raised
with their impact on the open air link between the existing and expanded shopping centre.

Information Required
63     Provide comment on the likely management issues and responses to fauna and
       mosquito control for the open air pedestrian and dining link.
