Subdivision Plan for the road reserves and service corridors will have minimal retention of native Subdivision LandCorp vegetation. Planning Retention of Native Areas of native vegetation to be retained will be adequately delineated on plans and on-ground to ensure Prior to Clearing LandCorp vegetation minimum disturbance during construction. Wetland Retention No full wetlands will be retained within the road reserves and service corridors. Small portions of wetlands Subdivision LandCorp may be retained where the proposed roads and service corridors cross. Planning The collection of local seed for use in rehabilitation or landscaping within the Development Area will be Prior to Clearing LandCorp Seed Collection and carried out prior to clearing works. Propagation During LandCorp The seed stock will then be stored and utilised, as required, by LandCorp. Construction Salvaging The collection of Balgas (Xanthorrhoea preissii) will be undertaken and plants will be stored appropriately Prior to Clearing LandCorp Vegetation prior to transplanting to landscaped areas in the development. Fauna Trapping and In the areas of native vegetation to be cleared for the development LandCorp will implement a fauna Prior to clearing LandCorp Relocation Program relocation program prior to the clearing of the road reserves and service corridors. Salvaging Fauna Prior to clearing Tuart trees those potentially contain suitable hollows for Black Cockatoos will be marked so if Prior to Clearing LandCorp Habitat appropriate hollows are present habitat can be harvested during construction from marked trees. During Construction Prior to and The Conservation Area will not be disturbed during
