       Weed management
43.    The lands dedicated to the Crown as Reserve(s} for Environmental Purposes,
       Drainage, Open Space and for Park plus the balance of the site i.e. Lots 1 to 52
       Inclusive, must be, at the time of plan sealing, free of those weed species listed as

       Revegetatlon and Vegetation offsets
44.    Provide revegetatlon/rehabllitation plantings generally within those existing cleared
       areas north of Lot 4 and between Lots 9 and 1o to offset clearing associated with the
       realignment and widening of Hollett Road to a maximum area of 5000 square metres.
       The offset revegetation/rehablUlatlon are~ can be Implemented via the use of •uve
       topsoil" won from road clearing works or via direct revegetation plantings or a
       combination of both techniques. These rehabilitation areas are to Incorporate ground
       habitat comprising of hollow logs, logs and large rocks won from clearing and site

       Tree retention
45.    No clearing of native vegetation Including Old Growth "Habitat Trees• (I.e. trees with
