security for the protection of the trees identified for retention in the conditions of this

by the relevant titles authority, a substitute provision must be included in the document
which as nearly as practicable addresses the objective sought by the requisitioned or
refused provision. The wording of the substitute provision must be agreed by Council.
Fauna Management
72. Vegetation must only be removed or disturbed in accordance with a fauna management
plan prepared by a qualified person* and endorsed through an Operational Works
approval and must address the following:
Site inspection
(a) Prior to any site disturbance, a site inspection will be completed by a suitably
qualified person* to identify any follow-bearing trees and/or other significant
habitat features (i.e. den sites, nests, hollowed termitarium etc.) These will be
clearly marked in the field with high visibility paint as well as shown on
appropriately scaled plans.
Pre-clearing fauna trapping
(b) Subsequent to the site inspection, and prior to commencement of site clearing
works, a pre-clearing trapping program will be completed targeting native
ground-dwelling and arboreal mammals. The trapping program will be designed
to progressively move through the site, from the north towards the south, ahead
of the subsequent under scrubbing operations. Each area will be trapped for a
minimum of four (4) nights, and any animals captured will be relocated to suitable
habitat area/s in consultation with Noosa Shire Council and the Department of
Environment and Science (DES). Arboreal mammals captured will be re-located
within suitably designed nest-boxes to be installed at the agreed release site.
(c) Once the area has been trapped, and the extent of the trapped area clearly
identified the groundcover and midstory can be cleared utilising slashing or
similar. Any hollow-bearing trees and/or other significant habitat features
identified during the initial site inspection will be retained. All under scrubbing
