                                                                                                                                                    Peregian Beach Caravan Park




Performance Criteria            Minimal disturbance to fauna;
                                No fauna injured or killed;
                                No destruction of habitat other than that designated for the development; and
                                Significant habitat on the site retained.

Implementation Strategies   Habitat
                            n Carry out the minimum required vegetation clearing (as outlined in the Vegetation Protection Element, Section 3.4, and in accordance with
                                the Arborist Report; Appendix C);
                            •   All areas of retained vegetation and associate habitat to be identified and clearly demarcated (i.e. fenced and signed);
                            •   Any fauna habitat resources from clearing works (e.g. hollow logs, rocks) will be salvaged from clearing works. These are to be relocated
                                into the parkland area;
                            •   Vegetation clearing shall be conducted in a staged and sequential manner to allow fauna to move off the site of their own accord;
                            n   Clearing will occur from disturbed areas towards areas of vegetation to be retained;
                            n   Retained vegetation will be rehabilitated in accordance with the Ecological Restoration Plan (Appendix B);
                            n   Felled vegetation piles and earth are to be immediately mulched and moved off-site, or wildlife-proof barriers are to be erected to prevent
                                wildlife use;
                            •   Old piles of felled vegetation or other material must be assumed to be inhabited by wildlife, unless proven otherwise.
                            Fauna Injury / Collision
                            •   Construction work to be limited to daylight hours. Precautionary measures are to be implemented during dawn and dusk to avoid impacts on
                                fauna such as lower speed limits, any lighting to be limited and directed away from retained habitat;
                            •   Contractors are to be made aware of the significance of the habitat areas adjacent to the site (i.e. Noosa National Park) and the importance
                                of minimising impact on native fauna;
                            •   The developer shall appoint a qualified ecologist or a spotter-catcher (operating under a current DERM issued rehabilitation permit) and
                                provide their details to Council at least 14 days prior to any vegetation removal or earthworks;
                            n   One day prior to vegetation removal, the fauna spotter-catcher will inspect for the presence of fauna (occupation, nesting, hollows) in all
                                vegetation to be removed. Where fauna is identified as utilising vegetation it will be marked with flagging tape;
                            •   On the day of vegetation clearing, all trees marked with flagging tape and remaining vegetation to be removed will be inspected for fauna.
                                Should hollow bearing trees showing signs of fauna use and / or persistent fauna be identified in vegetation to be cleared, it must be either
