Approved Plan - OPW230084

           1. INTRODUCTION
                1.1.           Background
           Biodiverse Environmental has been engaged by Base Architecture to prepare a Fauna Management
           Plan (FMP) for works involving Reconfiguration of a Lot – 1 into 2 lots at 43 to 45 Summit Road,
           Pomona (Lot 3 SP 186019/ Lot 2 on RP186019).



                1.2.           Purpose
           The purpose of this report is to present information on the fauna and habitat features present within
           the Site to assist the management of development and provide framework for the long-term
           management of the Site. This report provides a consolidated management document to mitigate
           impacts and protect native fauna during the approved clearing and construction activities, notably
           conservation significant fauna (i.e., listed under the NC Act 1992 or EPBC Act 1999 as Critically
           Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable or Near threatened, henceforth CREVNT).

           This report has been prepared to meet the requirements of Noosa Shire Council’s response to the
           affiliated development application, with Clause 13 of approval conditions stating that “Vegetation must
           only be removed or disturbed in accordance with a Fauna Management Plan (or part thereof) prepared
           by a qualified person* and endorsed through an Operational Works approval”.

           This report presents data collated from contemporary research, a review of previous studies in the
           area and a Site inspection conducted on the 3rd of July 2023. Previous studies reviewed include:

                     •    Bushfire Mitigation Report FM 5810-6 prepared by Eldon Bottcher Architect Pty Ltd.
                     •    Ecological Assessment Report prepared by 28 South Environmental.

           An associated Rehabilitation Management Plan has been prepared to address revegetation and
           ecological enhancement outside of the clearing areas.



                1.3.           Focus and Scope
           This FMP has been structured with a focus on the issues pertaining to management of fauna, and it
           is envisaged that many activities will require the implementation of more than one component of the
           FMP. This FMP refers to the statutory environmental and fauna management requirements as they
           may apply, pursuant to all relevant policies, standards and regulation, along with end-user
           consideration. In addition, this report seeks to ensure that fauna and fauna habitat in adjacent
           conservation areas is not inadvertently adversely impacted.

           This assessment report aims to mitigate the risk of injury, orphanage, or death of fauna prior to, during
           and post-construction by providing management guidelines for the following:

                •    Presence of CREVNT Fauna
                •    Vegetation Clearing


             FAUNA MANAGEMENT PLAN | Summit Road, Pomona                                                         1
