               relates to native vegetation removal only. The applicant notes that the site includes existing
               orchards that are used for commercial produce.
               Assessment of Request
               No objection is raised to the request.
               Recommendation
               It is recommended existing condition 86 be amended to read as follows:
               86.     Native vegetation must only be removed or disturbed in accordance with a Fauna
               Management Plan (or part thereof) prepared by a qualified person* and endorsed through an
               Operational Works approval.


               Existing Condition 88
               88.     The development must be carried out in accordance with Bushfire Evacuation Plan v4
               prepared by North Coast Environmental Services and dated 06/09/2024, which must be amended
               as follows:
               a. Revised plans that that incorporate the latest architectural plans that shows the internal
                  evacuation route that connects directly between the shelter in place building and the clamping
                  infrastructure.
               b. Section 8 Evacuation Triggers, to be updated to include:
                   i. Daily review of FDR forecasts for the Southeast Coast which are available from the Bureau of
                   Meteorology
                   ii. Evacuation of all guests and non-essential staff prior to the commencement of any day with
                   a forecast FDR rating of Extreme or Catastrophic.
               Applicant’s Request
               The applicant has requested existing condition 88 be amended requesting that the words Extreme
               should be removed. Supplementary information from North Coast Environmental states that pre-
               emptive evacuation of a site is only reference under FDR Catastrophic and therefore condition
               88b(ii) is inconsistent with the AFDRS official advice.
               Assessment of Request
               Councils Senior Environment Officer has advised that the bushfire addendum by North Coast
               Environmental references the Australian Fire Danger Rating System. The applicant wishes to
               remove the trigger of Extreme, however given the vulnerable use and the type of occupants it is
               considered more appropriate to trigger evacuation/no new guests when the fire danger rating is
               Extreme and Catastrophic. Further it is noted that Councils external fire expert recommended
               inclusion of this condition.
               Recommendation
               It is recommended existing condition 88 remain unchanged.
