        Policy:         To effectively manage ERP operations within plan area and minimise impact (refer
                        Figure 1.1)




        Strategy:        To identify and protect vegetation that is to be retained and enhanced in an
                         environmentally sensitive manner and protect fauna.
        Responsibility: ERP Contractor and Restoration Ecologist
        Management Actions:

        This section of the EMP deals with key management measures for ERP operations within the areas as
        indicated on final approved engineering drawings (as advised by Superintendent). The ERP
        contractor’s works shall be limited to within the fenced areas as indicated on approved drawings as
        above and Ken Hicks & Associates drawing 1128 Master Plan and excluding:

            -     RHD and RSL building envelopes;
            -     Road reserve landscaped;
            -     Road reserve constructed road;
            -     Service corridors within Park and POSCWP areas (to be restored once engineering works are
                  complete).
        Actions are as follows:

        1. The ERP provides the actions to be undertaken in terms of ecological restoration, species
           selection, etc.

        2. All activities in the ERP area are to be carried out in such a manner as to minimise any damage to
           the conserved vegetation and protected trees.

        3. Any clearing of vegetation in the ERP area is to be undertaken following meetings by the ERP
           Contractor with the Restoration Ecologist, Project Manager and Council representative.

        4. The Restoration Ecologist is to supervise clearing of undesirable species and other activities in the
           areas adjacent to protected vegetation and any other significant areas to be retained and enhanced.
           The Restoration Ecologist will be responsible for informing all relevant personnel of the location
           of significant areas for clearing and weed control.

        5. The Habitat Protection fencing with the clearing/ development envelope associated with the RHD
           and RSL areas is to be checked on a weekly basis.
