PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                             10 NOVEMBER 2020


      The establishment of the vegetation offsets must be completed prior to the commencement
      of the use of the first stage.
14.   The Vegetation Management operational works application must detail the location and
      extent of vegetation disturbance on Lot 9 SP252905 and Lot 6 RP901384 must be accurately
      marked on-site, including any setback requirements for bushfire mitigation purposes, for
      Council officers to inspect prior to commencement of any vegetation clearing.
To:
12.   In conjunction with an application for operational works on the site for the first stage, the
      applicant must submit an operational works application for Vegetation Management for the
      development site. The Vegetation Management operational works application must detail:
      12.1.   Identification of all active Glossy Black Cockatoo food trees within the development
              footprint or in areas likely to be impacted upon by the operation or construction of
              the development.
      12.2.   A Vegetation Clearing Offset program to be undertaken to re-establish the habitat
              to be cleared from the site to a nearby location with similar soil properties. A
              receiving site is to be identified and maintained for a specified period (minimum 5
              years) after the establishment of the receiving site.
      12.3.   The Vegetation Clearing Offset program must include the details of the transfer
              methods to be engaged including:
               12.3.1 The transfer of soil/seed bank media off the site to the designated receiving
                      site(s);
               12.3.2 Methods of transfer including, inter alia, mastication of native vegetative
                      matter, tile transfer of live soil/plant matrix, peat locations and extents,
                      sexual and vegetative methods of revegetation of offset receiving site and
                      other deemed pertinent matters by a person with industry experience in the
                      successful establishment and/or re-establishment of heathland vegetation;
               12.3.3 Transfer of rare and threatened plant species (sexual and/or vegetative);
               12.3.4 Details of pre-treatment works prior to transfer of soil/seed bank media off
                      the site and methods of transplanting;
               12.3.5 Details of seed collections times and estimated establishment procedures
                      and times;
               12.3.6 Details of the receiving site, including tenure, contractual details,
                      establishment, monitoring and maintenance details and suitability of the
                      site for the purpose;
              12.3.7   All information must be prepared by a person with industry experience in
                       the successful establishment and/or re-establishment of heathland
                       vegetation. Industry and educational institution involvement is
                       recommended.
              The establishment of the vegetation offsets for each stage must be completed prior
              to the commencement of the use for each stage. The Vegetation Clearing Offset
              program, required by these conditions, must be implemented in a staged
              manner reflective of the approved staging of the development. To this end
              separate Vegetation Clearing Offset programs must be developed to reflect
              the staged delivery of the development, in particular the staged development
              of lot 6, and the subsequent development of lot 9.
      12.4. No clearing is permitted unless in accordance with the approved staged
            Vegetation Clearing Offset program.
