4 Potential impacts and
mitigation measures

4.1 Potential impacts

As the proposed clearing footprint for the NBN Co facility is located within a highly disturbed area of
the subject site, it is not expected that the clearing of the footprint will have a significant impact on the
adjacent environment.

The following section outlines general mitigation measures which will be implemented to minimise
impacts of the proposed development.

4.2 Mitigation measures
The following mitigation measures will be implemented:

Notify DEHP of clearing via exempt clearing notification (protected plants) form

All machinery, equipment and materials will be cleaned and certified weed and pest free (ie by
completing a Weed Hygiene Declaration Certificate) prior to coming on to site and records kept

Clearing will be limited to be that which is necessary for the proposed development

A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the proposed works will:
— Minimise the risk of the release of pollutants and/or nutrients into the surrounding environment

— Manage the potential introduction and/or spread of weed species within the proposed
development area and surrounding environment.

— Implement appropriate erosion and sediment control measures during construction to ensure
sediment is not released
