                 3-7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads




                  Action               Task                                                 Responsibility   Timing
                                       5) 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.
                  Directional          1)   Directional vegetation clearing is to be        Contractor,      During
                  vegetation                employed guide fauna towards retained           Fauna Spotter,   vegetation
                  clearing                  vegetation at the south of the site, allowing   Site Manager     clearing
                                            fauna to leave the site and access retained
                                            habitat without human intervention. Refer to
                                            Figure 4 for clearing areas and direction of
                                            clearing.
                                       2) Habitat trees of high importance should be
                                          felled last, after surrounding less important
                                          vegetation has been cleared to allow easy
                                          access of special plant and equipment (such
                                          as cherry pickers), and to allow unhindered
                                          lowering of hollow-bearing limbs. It is not
                                          acceptable to fell or push over hollow‐
                                          bearing trees without first removing wildlife,
                                          due to the high risk of severe deceleration
                                          and/or crushing injuries to wildlife inhabiting
                                          such trees.
                                       1)   Retained trees are to be protected in
                                            accordance with Australian Standard 4970-
                                            2009 Protection of trees on development
                                            sites as outlined in the approved Vegetation
                                            Management Plan.
                                       2) The approved Vegetation Management Plan
                                          is to be provided to all contractors and
                                          personnel involved in clearing and
                                          construction activities on the site.
                  All machinery        1)   Visually check all the machinery for the        Fauna Spotter,   Immediately
                  is to be                  presence of fauna before the start of           Site Manager     prior and
                  checked for               construction.                                                    during
                  fauna before         2) Visually check all the routes for the presence                     vegetation
                  the beginning           of fauna before allowing construction to                           clearing
                  of operations           start.
                  Restrict vehicle     1)   No vehicle access to areas of vegetation yet    Site Manager     During
                  access                    to be cleared.                                                   vegetation
                                       2) Access is prohibited to vehicles outside of                        clearing
                                          construction machinery.
                                       3) Set lower vehicle speeds around the site so
                                          that motorists have a longer response time
