Performance Criteria                     No (negligible) weed species in parkland area and across the site;
                                         Weed species are to be controlled across the site, with no incidences of noxious and declared weeds to be recorded; and
                                         No impacts of introduced fauna on native fauna.
Implementation Strategies                Carry out weed control in accordance with the Ecological Restoration Plan (Appendix B);
                                         Regular weed control is to be conducted across the site to ensure weeds do not establish to levels that can threaten native
                                         vegetation. Weed removal is to form part of the post construction maintenance works on the site;
                                         Weed control will be conducted by hand or mechanical means where possible. Mechanical control methods include:
                                                Manual removal by hand or grubbing by using toppers, hatchets or small saws to remove the weed including the
                                                roots;
                                                Lopping where the weed is removed by an axe or chainsaw;
                                                Mowing or brush-cutting to remove the seed heads of the weed; and
                                                Ringbarking, which involves removing the sapwood around the entire girth of the trunk near the base of the plant.
                                     •   Where chemical methods (preferably cut and paint) are required, chemicals will be kept away from sensitive areas:
                                     •   Any herbicides will be used in accordance with manufacturers' and DERM's guidelines;
                                     •   Herbicides used on the site will be only those designed for use near waterways and frog-friendly (e.g. Roundup Bioactive
                                         TM Herbicide or Weedmaster Herbicide):
                                     •   Herbicide is to be directly applied to weeds and broad-scale spraying is not permitted;
                                     •   A chemical register and Material Safety Data Sheets shall be kept on site for any herbicides and pesticides used;
                                     n   Cleared weed material shall be placed in a disposable bag, sealed and disposed of offsite or placed in a Council-approved
                                         facility. Burning of cleared exotic vegetation is not a permitted disposal technique;
                                     •   Planting of appropriate native plant species within landscaping, buffer and conservation areas;
                                     n   Declared weeds as defined by the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 as well as noxious
                                         weeds are not to be planted on site;
                                     •   All nursery stock for landscaping works shall be weed, pest and disease free and certified as such by the supplier where
                                         feasible. The certificates are to be obtained prior to the commencement of any landscaping works on site and shall be made
                                         available to Council upon request;
                                     n   All mulch produced on site shall specifically exclude material from weed species; and
