          Desired Environmental                Compliance
                Outcomes

                                  biodiversity are proposed to be
                                  managed through mitigation measures
                                  including:

                                    •   All works will be undertaken in
                                        accordance with the guidelines
                                        presented within the Code for
                                        self-assessable development –
                                        Minor waterway barrier works –
                                        Part 3: culvert crossings;
                                    •   Construction     works    will   be
                                        undertaken during periods of low
                                        rainfall or when the stream is
                                        dry. This will minimise the
                                        potential impacts associated with
                                        scouring,        erosion       and
                                        sedimentation. In addition, it will
                                        minimise impact to aquatic
                                        species that may normally be
                                        located within the subject site
                                        when it is inundate;
                                    •   Alternatively, the waterway can
                                        be temporarily blocked and
                                        drained to allow for construction
                                        in dry conditions. A spotter-
                                        catcher would be required to be
                                        present during drainage works to
                                        ensure the safe relocation of
                                        fauna from the waterway to
                                        further      downstream.       The
                                        waterway will be reinstated post
                                        construction works.
                                    •   Works will be limited to the
                                        minimum disturbance area as far
                                        as practicable; and
                                    •   There will be no additional
                                        temporary      waterway     barrier
                                        works        associated        with
                                        construction.    All   construction
                                        materials and machinery will be
                                        stored within designated laydown
                                        areas away from the waterway.
