           3.1        SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES OF FAUNA SPOTTER/CATCHER
           A suitably qualified and experienced licensed fauna spotter/catcher is to be present for the duration of
           clearing works to monitor and manage animals observed during the clearing works. Individual trees within
           and immediately adjacent to the clearing area will continue to be inspected throughout clearing activities.
           The fauna spotter/catcher may be required to undertake any or all of the following actions:
                    Directing clearing contractors to undertake clearing in a direction that encourages wildlife to move
                     away unassisted and toward adjacent suitable habitat
                    Directing clearing contractors to undertake sequential clearing of understorey vegetation prior to
                     removal of habitat trees (where applicable)
                    Directing clearing contractors to retain individual standing trees that are host to wildlife until the
                     wildlife has moved on
                    Directing clearing contractors to retain all hollow bearing trees (if present) in-situ until they have
                     been thoroughly inspected. Where an animal is identified within a habitat tree, then the trees are
                     to be left in-situ overnight to allow fauna to move to nearby habitat
                    Checking potential nests and other habitat features for active occupation prior to clearance of the
                     tree
                    Capture and relocation of animals that do not move off-site without assistance
                    Immediate on-site assessment of injured fauna and delivery to the nearest veterinarian for
                     treatment if required
                    Delivery of injured or orphaned fauna to wildlife carers for rehabilitation where veterinary
                     inspection is not warranted
