                                                                                             Native Foresters



     15. Consideration should be given to fauna sensitive road design so that fauna
         sensitive design elements for Koala and other fauna species can be incorporated
         into the design, given that the facility upgrade coincides with widening of the
         Eumundi Noosa Road further to the north. Suitable safe fauna movement features
         such as fencing, refuge poles, culvert furniture, fauna overpasses and underpasses
         may be needed to ensure safe movement of Koalas and ensure that long term
         dispersal routes for arboreal mammals are not impacted. The following documents
         describe safe fauna movement design practices for Koala and other wildlife:

Biosecurity

     16. The General Biosecurity Obligation (GBO) designated under the Biosecurity Act
         2014 requires everyone to take all reasonable and practical steps to minimise the
         risks associated with invasive species.
     17. Control of Singapore Daisy and other Restricted Invasive Plants should be
         incorporated into works as part of the GBO.
     18. Any fill used must be free of weed propagules.
     19. Control of Singapore daisy should be programmed to occur at least 6 weeks prior
         to works, and timely follow up should be undertaken 3 weeks prior to works to
         minimise potential spread during works.
     20. All spoil, fill and vegetation contaminated with Singapore daisy fragments should
         be appropriately disposed of and transported to landfill.
     21. Felled living and dead trees that are not contaminated with Singapore Daisy
         fragments should be retained and dispersed in adjacent bushland areas, or donated
         to community revegetation projects to augment habitat value for reptiles and small
         mammals.
     22. Any fill, gravel, mulch or plants from Fire Ant Zones requires a Biosecurity
         Instrument Permit (BIP).
