                             Fire management measures are adopted based on ecological
                             principles, which—
                             a)   maintain and enhance biodiversity;
                             b)   minimise threat of fire to the natural environment, life and
                                  property; and
                             c)   provide for effective use and maintenance of buildings and
                                  structures.

                             b)   removal of vegetation or habitat for fauna identified or referred
                                  to as requiring protection in State or Commonwealth

                             e)   removal of riparian vegetation;
                             f)   vegetation which is or is capable of forming or contributing to a
                                  buffer between different land uses;
                             g)   vegetation which is or is capable of forming or contributing to a
                                  visual buffer or a buffer against pollution, light spillage or
                                  noise;
                             h)   vegetation which contributes to scenic amenity or landscape
                                  quality;
                             i)   vegetation the clearing of which may cause or contribute to
                                  erosion or slippage.
                             Specific Outcome O19
                             Clearing protected vegetation does not increase the likelihood of or
                             result in adverse impacts on-
                             a)   remnant vegetation of local origin, classified as remnant of
                                  concern regional ecosystem or remnant endangered regional
                                  ecosystem or is vegetation located in a wetland;
                             b)   the diversity of flora or fauna species supported or likely to be
