           b.    at a multiplier of 6 (unless the offsets calculator   “as above”
                 is a greater amount) and otherwise in
                 accordance with the requirements of the
                 Queensland Environmental Offsets Policy at the
                 time of the project approval, except for the offset
                 site location preferences if the public sector
                 entity has a pre-existing offset; or
           c.    as an alternate compensatory action, where the        N/A
                 development is for Transport Infrastructure, and
                 the alternate compensatory action includes:
                        i. the design, prior to the
                           commencement of impacts, of a
                           Koala Management Plan that:
                            a)    demonstrates that the alternate      N/A
                                  compensatory action will deliver
                                  a conservation outcome equal
                                  to, or greater than, would
                                  otherwise be achieved through
                                  the delivery of a land-based
                                  offset in 3 (a) or (b) above; and
                            b)    demonstrates that the alternate      N/A
                                  compensatory action is based
                                  on proven scientific methods
                                  and contemporary data; and
                            c)    involves an assessment of the        N/A
                                  number of koalas at risk from
                                  the development;
                            d)    demonstrates how individual          N/A
                                  koala welfare will be managed,
                                  i.e. how will koalas be
                                  protected during the
                                  development.
4.    Ensure clearing of koala habitat trees in a KHA are              Complies
      undertaken under the guidance of a koala spotter where           Council will undertake clearing in accordance with a CEMP and a Wildlife Spotter Catcher will be present during all clearing.
      koala habitat trees have a trunk of a diameter of more than
      10cm at 1.3m above the ground.
