Town Planning Report - 1534 Louis Bazzo Dr Coothra · MCU26/0104

The proposed development achieves PO10 in the following ways:
Rehabilitation is incorporated into the proposed development. A concept Rehabilitation Plan has been provided at
APPENDIX F (of the Ecological Assessment Report) which focuses on rehabilitation of the dam edges adjacent to the
cleared area to enhance habitat values.


Acceptable outcome AO11.1 and AO11.2 refer to koala habitat and protection on site.


Performance Outcome PO11 is read as:
Development is designed, constructed and operated to—
    a) protect and enhance koalas and koala habitat and avoid adverse impacts;
    b) provide measures to assist the survival of koala populations in the area to mitigate any potential threats or risk
         to koalas; and
    c) provide for safe and appropriate koala movement across the landscape.


The proposed development meets the Performance Outcome PO11 as follows:
The proposed development will be wholly sited within a previously cleared area (VC1). No additional clearing is
anticipated and the remainder of the property will be retained in its current state (refer to detailed Tree Protection
Plan at APPENDIX F of the Ecological Assessment Report).


If subsequent amendments to design or siting necessitate the removal of additional native vegetation, the following
mitigations are required to prevent potential impacts on fauna during vegetation clearing:
    •    A fauna spotter-catcher WILL be required to conduct a pre-clear survey and be present during clearing works;
         and
    •    Sequential clearing with the presence of a koala spotter WILL be required for the clearing of NJKHTs in
         accordance with Division 3, Part 3 of the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017.


It is also recommended that:
    •    Fauna friendly fencing in accordance with the Koala-sensitive Design Guideline (DES, 2022) be used if
         perimeter fencing is to be replaced or erected; and
    •    Pet exclusion fencing be installed around the perimeter of the dwelling to prevent dog attacks on native fauna
         (as required).
