        2.2 Summary - Optimisation Strategy (2009)

        Report appears to repeat/update some of the work previously completed by Place. Primarily a
        desktop analysis. I note the report addresses a greater number of allotments. A Cardno plan (235301-
        SK01 is provided on pg 70.) illustrates a development layout. The DA supersedes the date of this report
        and as such have not given a lot of weight to this document. However, would need to assume that
        some of the offset recommendations in this report have been incorporated or considered in Council’s
        DA.

        Report acknowledges/identifies the mapping and habitat for ground parrot, three threatened acid
        frogs and a heathland herb Macarthuria complanata.

        Consideration of updated Koala legislation with identification of koala mapping and development
        consequences.

        Recommendations in report “Essential Habitat associated with the non-urban area of the proposed
        Lot 9 and the Interim Koala Habitat Protection designation over all allotments, will potentially require
        the current development layout be redesigned to avoid development within this area or that offsets be
        provided.”

        The report includes a figure “Biodiversity Strategy Plan” - extracted below.
