During Construction 28. Compliance with the following mitigation measures as detailed in Table 5-2: Proposed
Mitigation Measures of the Biodiversity Development Assessment Report accompanying the development application (responsibility and timings are outlined in the BDAR):
i. The movement of vehicles and machinery must be restricted to established
tracks and the areas within the development footprint assessed in this report, to prevent disturbance to the adjacent vegetation and habitat.
ii. The removal of the two hollow-bearing trees (i.e. H3 and H4 in Table 5-1 and Figure 5-1) must be supervised by a qualified fauna ecologist or licenced fauna handler, to ensure that any displaced fauna are dealt with appropriately. Hollow-bearing tree removal is to adhere to the following procedure:
• Hollow‐bearing trees are to be gently nudged twice, with machinery in the presence of the ecologist, as nudging may encourage fauna to leave the trees. After each nudging, hollow-bearing trees would be left for a minimum of 10 minutes to allow time for any fauna to escape out of the trees and move safely away from machinery. The tree will be monitored by the ecologist during this time.
• Trees are to be removed by as carefully as possible, to reduce risk of injury to fauna.
• The trees are to be observed for escaping fauna throughout the nudging/felling process by the ecologist.
