Watercourses and drainage lines

024 Landscaping works along watercourses

and drainage lines—

a) retains and enhances the existing riparian
vegetation including understorey, and

b) rehabilitates and revegetates degraded
riparian zones to filter stormwater run-off
and provide for native wildlife habitat; and

c) avoids slashing and turfing of waterway
edges and drainage lines; and

d) avoids engineering design solutions, such
as concrete drains; and

e) use natural materials in the construction of
boardwalks, bridges and similar structures
to blend with the natural environment.

No solution provided.

Not applicable.

 

 

Wildlife habitat protection

025 Landscaping retains and enhances

habitats and corridors for native wildlife by—

a) replicating adjacent remnant vegetation,
including understorey vegetation,

b) _ siting landscaped areas to complement
and enhance existing vegetation,

c) retaining old trees (including dead trees)
with hollows for local native fauna habitat;
and

d) creating or enhancing vegetation linkages
between existing habitats;

e) minimising adverse effects to koalas by
planting and retaining appropriate tree
species and facilitating koala movement in
koala habitat areas’.

 

$25.1 For Koala Habitat Areas shown in Schedule

7—

a) aminimum of 70% of tree species planted on
the premises are koala food trees listed in
PSP3 Landscaping Plants and Guidelines;
and

b) where koala access is impeded by a fence or
retaining wall—

i climbing poles are erected at regular
intervals along the structure at an
approximate 45 degree angle on either
side of the structure;

ii plant vegetation within close proximity
(branches touching) on either side of the
fence to provide a natural ladder; and

iii install panels or planks horizontally atong
the top of the fence to provide a walkway,
where appropriate; and

c) choose fence materials, such as a timber
post-and-rail or chain wire, that a koala can

 

 

A condition may be imposed in this regard.

 

"Schedule 7 maps koala habitat areas to be used for assessing development in koala habitat areas against the koala conservation criteria contained in the Nature Conservation (Koala)
Conservation Plan 2005 and Management Program 2005-2015 or, prior to the adoption of the Conservation Plan, the Interim Guideline: Koalas and Development.
