7.3 Pest animal control 7.3.1 Legislative definitions and requirements The pest animals listed in section 2.1.2. are declared as class 2 pests under schedule 2 of the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Regulation 2003, with the exception of the cane toad (Bufo marinus) which is not a declared pest. Class 2 pests are defined under section 38 of the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 (LP Act), as: “Established in the State and (is) causing, or has the potential to cause, an adverse economic, environmental or social impact in the State”. Under section 77 of the LP Act, landowners must take reasonable steps to keep their land free of Class 2 pests. Under The Pest Management Act 2001, any pest control or fumigation activity must be carried out by an appropriately qualified and licensed technician. Section 42 of the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 instructs that any act to control a pest animal must be done in a way that causes the animal as little pain as is reasonable. The Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities provide model codes of practice for the humane control of each of the class 2 pests listed in section 2.1.2., which may be accessed at the following links: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive/publications/humanecontrol.html This Department has also published threat abatement plans for rabbits, feral cats and foxes, available here: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/tap-approved.html and has drafted a threat abatement plan for cane toads, which may be accessed here: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/tap-drafts.html The Queensland Government Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation publish operational guidelines for the management of each of the class 2 pests listed in section 2.1.2., which may be accessed here: http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/4790_8422.htm This list of legislative requirements is not exhaustive, and there are many other pieces of State and Commonwealth legislation that may influence pest animal management in Queensland. 7.3.2 Pest management planning framework A range of pest management planning instruments exist at the National, State, Regional and Local Government level. Those that relate to pest animal management in the Project Area are listed in Table 1. Page 7-21

The contractor will ensure that the CPWMP is also aligned with these principles. 7.3.3 Active control of pest animals Effective control of pest animals may include any or a combination of the following methods: • Killing/removal (eg trapping, baiting) • Exclusion (eg fencing) • Habitat manipulation (eg rabbit warren ripping) Control of the pest animal species listed in Section 2.1.2 will occur according to the legislative instruments in Section 7.3.1 and the planning documents in Section 7.3.2. Permission must be sought from The Company before undertaking any of the control methods in this section. Killing/removal Only to be undertaken by authorised personnel as prescribed by the relevant Acts (see section 7.3.1) where outbreaks are known to have occurred and control is mandatory under the legislation listed in section 7.3.1. Exclusion All areas that contain organic waste material (e.g. food scraps) will be fenced or otherwise adequately secured to prevent scavenging by pest animals. All areas of significant water ponding that are created during the course of construction will be enclosed by temporary fencing to prevent access by pest animals. Page 7-22
