SUPERSEDED Other Change Decision Notice - Council Meeting Decision 132008 176 05 [As Published]

                                  works will be completed with a suitably qualified fauna spotter/catcher in
                                  attendance.
                        Clearing non-habitat trees
                        (d)       After under scrubbing of each area is complete, non-habitat trees (i.e. trees other
                                  than those identified as habitat trees) will be cleared and stockpiled for mulching.
                                  Clearing of non-habitat trees will only occur where their removal will not impact
                                  on identified habitat trees (e.g. canopies do not interconnect with habitat trees).
                        Hollow inspection and removal
                        (e)       After under scrubbing and clearing on non-habitat trees, an elevated work
                                  platform or cherry-picker will be used in conjunction with a chainsaw operator
                                  and suitably qualified fauna spotter/catcher to inspect and remove hollows a
                                  necessary prior to habitat tree felling.
                        (f)       When the fauna has been safely secured within its hollow (or compensatory
                                  habitat/nest box), the entire limb can then be placed in the cherry-picker bucket
                                  or lowered to the ground using ropes depending on the size of the limb.
                        (g)       The limb and/or compensatory habitat/nest box will then be placed in a cool,
                                  quiet location until translocation to the recipient habitat site, when at dusk the
                                  hollow entrance is re-opened to allow the fauna to emerge of its own accord.
                 73.    Any proposed new fencing to delineate boundary alignments must be constructed to
                        allow for the movement of fauna. Such fencing must:
                        a.      allow adequate clearance at ground level for local macropods
                        b.      not include any use of barbed wire or similar materials
                        c.      provide regular opportunities for passage over and through
                        d.      include Koala permeable fencing in accordance with the Koala-Sensitive Design
                                Guidelines 2022
                        e.      be agreed by Council
                 74.    Twenty (20) permanent artificial nesting boxes must be installed within the
                        Environmental Management and Conservation Zone to provide compensatory habitat
                        for arboreal mammals and hollow dependent avian species. The works must be
                        undertaken in accordance with an Operational Works approval.
                        Bushfire Management
                 75.    All works must be carried out in accordance with a Site Management Plan (or part
                        thereof) prepared by a qualified person* and endorsed through an Operational Works
                        approval. The Site Management Plan must incorporate all precautionary bushfire
                        obligations required to ensure landscape design measures are achieved that meet a low
                        fuel state at all times and provide management techniques for the development site
                        administrators to consider as part of the development construction and ongoing
                        maintenance.
                        *(Refer to Advisory Note)
                 76.    Certification must be submitted to Council from a qualified person* which certifies that
                        the development has been constructed in accordance with the bushfire management
                        conditions of this Decision Notice.
                        *(Refer to Advisory Note)
                 77.    A Bushfire Evacuation Plan for the site must be prepared by a qualified person* and
                        submitted to Council prior to the issue of any Development Permit for Operational Works.
