Ecological Assessment Report

                                                                             Ecological Assessment Report



1.2 Proposed Development

The proposed development on the site is for a single residential dwelling with associated outbuildings,
located at the northern end of the property. Access to the development shall be provided via a long
driveway from Riverpark Rd to the south. A machinery shed is also to be located at the southern end of
the property, adjoining the driveway, in an existing cleared area. The proposed layout for the
development is provided in Appendix 6.

The development will not require the removal of any vegetation within the site.

1.3 Scope of Works

The scope of works for this report includes:

    •   A detailed desktop assessment, including review of relevant background, database and
        mapping information to identify applicable Local, State and Commonwealth government
        overlays/mapping triggers and potential constraints and development opportunities for the site.

    •   A site assessment to determine the extent and structural integrity of vegetation communities
        (including the presence of weed species) and fauna habitat values, and to identify and assess
        ecologically significant areas and features.

    •   Assessment of the site’s conservation values with respect to its position within the local and
        broader landscape, including corridor linkages and riparian areas.

    •   A description of the ecological values (field survey results) of the site and confirmation of the
        likelihood of occurrence of flora and fauna species and vegetation communities protected under
        Local, State and Commonwealth legislation.

    •   Identification of statutory considerations relevant to ecological aspects of the proposed
        development and assessment of the proposed development against the relevant Local and
        State legislation (including State Development codes and local planning scheme provisions)
        with recommendations on how to meet the environmental overlay codes and protect
        environmental values.

    •   Evaluation of ecological constraints on the site and impacts and provision of management
        measures to mitigate such impacts.

    •   Preparation of maps relevant to the report, including vegetation communities and vegetation
        clearing maps.
