1.2     Relationship to other Management Plans

        Conditions for the application require that a number of Management Plans are required to support the
        application. These plans are as follows:
        •    Environmental Management Plan (this plan).
        •    Ecological Restoration Plan and Specifications
        •    Fauna Management Plan.
        •    Landscape Master Plan.
        •    Fire Management Plan.
        •    Construction Management Plan (including Traffic Management Plan).
        •    Sediment and Erosion Control and Stormwater and Water Quality Management Plan.
        •    Acid Sulphate Soils Management Plan.

        Components of each of the above plans are relevant to the implementation of this EMP and, in most
        cases, have been incorporated into the document where appropriate. However, there will be
        components of the plans identified above that have not been integrated into this EMP. In such cases,
        it will be necessary to refer to the original plan noted above for greater detail regarding management
        procedures and methods of implementation (this will be cross-referenced in this document). The
        Ecological Restoration Plan and Specifications is the key reference document and provides the basis
        for day-to-day activities during the ERP program.

        As noted in Section 1.1, three EMP’s have been prepared for the total property with EMP3 covering
        all ecological restoration works to be undertaken on all portions of the property not covered by EMP
        1 and 2. These areas are indicated on Figure 1-1. EMP 3 thus addresses those works to be undertaken
        by the proponent, Settlers Cove Development Pty Ltd and shown on Figure 1-1 up until the following
        occur:
        1. The RF Thompson Environmental Park land is deeded to the proposed Environmental
           Organisation administered by Council in accordance with the Deed for transfer of the
           Environmental Park and until the end of the four year maintenance period;
        2. The Public Esplanade is transferred to Council/Environmental Organisation and until the end of
           the four year maintenance period;
        3. The four year maintenance period for the Park is complete. This excludes the proposed
           stormwater treatment wetland which Council will maintain following its construction;
        4. The POSCWP Areas are transferred to the individual Bodies Corporate where they are part of the
           RHD lots. The four year maintenance period for ecological restoration works applies to both the
           proponent and bodies corporate (upon sale of the individual lots) following practical completion.
           Outstanding works in the POSCWP areas can be bonded;
        5. The individual RSL lots (incorporating the POSCWP areas) are sold. Ecological restoration areas
           will then be maintained by the private lot owner within their holding;
