Approved Plan - OPW230084

                                           •   Restrict or minimize vehicle and plant movement through Site while clearing
                                               vegetation to reduce the chance of fauna-vehicle collision.
                                           •   Minimize vehicle movement through the Site pre-dawn and after dusk, which
                                               are peak times of fauna movement.
                                           •   Ensure vegetation clearing is conducted in a manner that allows fauna to
                                               relocate at their own volition, into areas that are not isolated islands of
                                               vegetation (see Figure 7 and Table 5).
                                           •   Maintain and rehabilitate wildlife corridors to be retained through measures
                                               including, but not limited to:
                                               o Maintenance, rehabilitation, and protection of the waterbody at the eastern
                                                    boundary to facilitate movement of aquatic fauna.
                                               o Nest box installation, as per Table 6.

            Performance                    1. Mortality and unnecessary disturbance of fauna should be prevented.
            indicators                     2. Fauna are not isolated on islands.

            Personnel                  Base Architecture is required to:
            responsible
                                           •   Inform all contractors, through means of a Site induction or pre-start meeting,
                                               of their responsibility to abide by speed limits.
                                           •   Undertake rehabilitation measures as outlined above unless otherwise dictated
                                               by Noosa Shire Council.

            Reporting and              Details of all fauna interactions, including injuries and/or deaths, are to be provided to
            auditing                   the FSC/Ecologist for inclusion.

            Corrective                 In the event that practices are inconsistent with the strategies outlined in the SMP and
            action                     VDMP, the Contractor should take the corrective steps and report non-compliance to
                                       the relevant personnel.

            Timings                    The duration of vegetation clearing and construction works.




                4.6.           Control of Feral, Domestic and Companion Animals
           Terrestrial vertebrate pest species that may be present within the Site include Cane toad (Rhinella
           marina), Common myna (Acridotheres tristis), Red fox (Vulpes vulpes), House mouse (Mus
           musculus), Black rat (Rattus rattus) and House gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus). Invasive fauna can
           prey on and displace native fauna, degrade natural bushland and waterways, and spread invasive
           plants, parasites, or diseases. Pest management is considered:

                •    During preparation for operational works.
                •    In on-going monitoring and management of retained and rehabilitated habitat.

           The Biosecurity Act 2014 states that every person has a General Biosecurity Obligation to take all
           reasonable and practical steps to minimise the risks associated with invasive animals under their
           control.
