     hydrology, water quality and flora and fauna
     species;
 c) preventing any new development within

 d) minimising access to the wetland;




6 The extent of separation will be determined from the size, values and vulnerability of the wetland, likely natural

fluctuations, and the nature of potential threats to its integrity and functions.
