            Four [4] additional hollow-bearing trees are present within the road easement, and may require
            clearing for road construction. A breeding pair of Galahs (Eolophus roseicapilla) was observed
            entering and exiting a hollow. Given the breeding season for many hollow-breeding avian and
            mammal species commences in late winter, active breeding places are likely to be present. It is
            recommended that these hollows be inspected via Elevated Work Platform (EWP) prior to removal.
            One [1] tree potentially containing hollows is located within the line of sight clearing area at the
            intersection of Hoy Road and Lake Macdonald Drive (Figure 3). The tree has been partially engulfed
            by vines, and woody debris is present at the base. Small fauna may be concealed within these
            features. A list of habitat features and animal breeding places identified during the survey is detailed
            below in Table 1 and Table 2. Features are mapped in Figure 5.
