                                            o   If a Koala is present within 100m, clearing must cease temporarily and a
                                                safe buffer must be determined by the FSC.
                                            o   The FSC must continue to assess the Koala for signs of distress.
                                            o   If the Koala comes down from the tree, clearing must cease until the FSC
                                                determines it can continue.
                                            o   Vegetation must be cleared such that a corridor of Koala preferred food
                                                trees is retained to allow safe passage for the Koala out of the work zone.
                                            o   Clearing cannot resume within the buffer area until the Koala has self-
                                                relocated to an adequate distance.
                                   After works:
                                       •    All impact management strategies implemented and their relative success at
                                            mitigating risks to fauna are to be reported on.

            Performance                1. Zero disturbance must occur outside the permitted clearing area.
            indicators                 2. Mortality and disturbance of fauna should be prevented.
                                       3. Suitable habitat within areas not scheduled for clearing remain functional and
                                          stable ecosystems.
