ELEMENT: ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURE EP012 REVEGETATION

Approximate areas and planting density
Zone:2 -Supplementary rehabilitation planting 3302m?
This zone is to consist of supplementary plantings to aid waterway
protection and act as a mitigation measure to minimise any potential
erosion. Revegetation plantings shal! extend approximately 5m (min)
from the river top of bank. Planting for buffer areas are to be at the
following minimum densities:

e Trees: 2m centres

e Shrubs: 2m centres

¢ Groundcovers: 1m centres

Species appropriate to planting are listed in Appendix D.

Zone 4- Grassland rehabilitation planting 183m?
This zone is to consist of rehabilitation plantings to restore observed
degraded areas of the intact native grassland. Revegetation plantings
shall incorporate the.entirety of the degraded vehicular track (non-
inclusive of proposed boardwalk). Plantings are to be at the following
minimum densities:

e Groundcovers: 0.75m centres

Species appropriate to planting are listed in Appendix D.

 

3. Monitoring and
Performance Indicators

Monitoring will be undertaken on a 12 and 24 month basis by a suitably
qualified consultant until the site is accepted off-maintenance to ensure
that revegetation and rehabilitation has taken place in accordance with
this Weed Management and Vegetation Rehabilitation Plan. The
performance indicators will be the adequate revegetation and
rehabilitation of the site in accordance with the objectives stated in
“Section 4.5 — Project Monitoring and Performance Criteria”.

 

4. | Commencement‘and
Timeframe

Revegetation and Rehabilitation strategies should be implemented
commensurate with weed removal and control strategies. The timeframe
for the completion of the Revegetation and Rehabilitation element must
comply with the Performance Criteria.

The order of vegetation works is:

1.Stage One: Weed Management and Control followed as soon as
practicable by rehabilitation plantings

Where possible revegetation works shall be carried out during the
warmer, wetter months of the year to provide suitable soil moisture
conditions for seedling establishment.

 

5. | Responsible.Person /
Organisation

Revegetation implementation, monitoring, and reporting, and any
necessary corrective actions are the responsibility of the Project Manager
of the development.

 

6. | Reporting and Review

 

 

 

Compliance reporting is the responsibility of the Project Manager.

All incidents that create harm to flora or fauna are to be reported to a
