Different classes of pests require different levels of management. State guidelines must be viewed for
requirements depending on the class of the invasive species. Pest management on site is conducted in line with
the following process.

▪   Pest species are identified at the construction pre-commencement meeting, removal or management of
    these species occurs where required
▪   All site personnel are informed of the locations and management of the invasive species.
▪   Heavy vehicles working on site are not removed from the job unless inspected by a certified inspector.
▪   Site vehicles remain on designated haul roads to prevent pest dispersal.
▪   If invasive species are sighted outside of restricted areas, the project management team are to notify the
    client.

The Weed Hygiene Declaration Form IMS-05-64 is used to record all movements of plant in and out of the
project located within a declared weed infested zone.
