OPS 4

All recommendations listed in the Natural Values Report (ENVIRO­DYNAMICS, March 2022, pp.21­22) are to be implemented.

Reason for condition

To minimise the loss of identified threatened native vegetation communities and threatened flora species.

OPS 5

Tree protection measures must be undertaken in accordance with the following recommendations from the Natural Values Report (ENVIRO­ DYNAMICS, March 2022).

Significant trees are mature blue gums (E. globulus) DBH>60 cm, mature stringybarks (E. obliqua) DBH>100 cm, old growth eucalypt trees in the DTO community and dead stags with potential hollows.

For the significant trees as defined above, no roots are to be cut >100 mm within the Structural Root Zone (SRZ) and >75 mm within the Tree Protection Zone (TPZ).

The track is to be built up and over roots of the above sizes, to a minimum of 100 mm and maximum of 300 mm depth, with soil, gravel and/or rock as applicable.

Any build­up of track formation > 300 mm requires a permeable foundation such as rock or gravel, to allow aeration of the soil below.

Where track alteration to avoid roots is not possible, a 10% incursion limit as per AS1490­2009 into the TPZ applies.

Clearly mark out a protection zone around all significant trees prior to works, to aid in following the above protocols.

Reason for condition

To conserve identified threatened fauna species by minimising clearance of important habitat and managing environmental impact.
