the development site on construction plans and in the field.

All vegetation retention areas will be fenced and clearly identified as
a ‘Vegetation Protection Area’ prior to the commencement of any
works on the subject site. These exclusion fences shall be maintained
throughout the construction period. Access to vegetation retention
areas will only be allowed for the purposes of weed removal by a
suitably qualified restoration team. Within these zones the following
activities shall not be permitted:

Storage and mixing of materials;

Vehicle parking;

Liquid disposal;

Construction site office or shed;

Combustion of any material;

Stockpiling of soil, rubble or debris;

Any filling or excavation including trench line, topsoil skimming
and/or surface excavation, unless otherwise approved by the
Project Manager; and

e Unauthorised pesticide, herbicide or chemical applications.

All activities in an area adjacent to any protected vegetation shall be
carried out in such a manner as to minimise any damage to trees and /
or the conserved area.

Tree limbs (of trees to be retained) that are likely to be in the way of
earthworks shall be pruned by a qualified tree surgeon prior to
construction activity commencing.

Tree roots (of trees to be retained) that are likely to interfere with
machinery shall be cut (by a qualified tree surgeon or horticulturalist)
and the remaining roots shall be treated with a suitable fungicide.

The erosion and sediment control measures shall be in accordance
with the erosion and sediment control plans.

The Project Manager shall undertake inspections on a weekly basis
during the construction phase to ensure that all recommendations are
being followed.
