Vegetation Management Plan - Bidjigal Reserve8 IMPLEMENTATION & REVIEW8.1 Policy & PerformanceThe priorities set out in this Report provide a management framework consistent with the individualsite’s potential for rehabilitation and restoration, the availability of resources necessary for ongroundand related works, and within stakeholder and community expectations.The ranking process used to establish priorities for future bushland restoration works has beencompiled using an agreed set of criteria (see Table 3.2), which in turn reflect the aims and objectivesof Baulkham Hills Council’s Bushland Biodiversity Strategy (see Section 1.5).The priority tasks outlined in this VMP are subject to the availability of funds to employ trained bushregenerators, and may require modification should resources be curtailed (or conversely, enhanced).Unless adequate resources are available, some of the objectives listed in this document may not beachieved.Performance ‘on the ground’ will be measured against a series of Performance Indicators (‘PIs’). Asample of PI’s relevant to monitoring performance in bushland restoration projects has beenincluded in Section 8.6.8.2 ReviewThis VMP is designed to cover an initial five (5) year period. After this time, the Plan should bereviewed, outcomes of the bushland restoration and rehabilitation program assessed using thePerformance Indicators outlined in Section 8.6, and changes or adjustments made as necessary.An updated flora survey should be commissioned, with the emphasis on identifying biodiversityvalues, with species densities and distribution evaluated over the site, and if applicable, actual orpotential shifts in the floristic composition or structural integrity of the plant community identifiedor any obvious trends flagged.A comprehensive fauna survey and evaluation of existing fauna habitats should also be undertakenat the end of the five (5) year timeframe. Analysis of survey results should be used to confirm oradjust the bushland management strategies set in place by the VMP.8.3 Works Program8.3.1 Licences and Permits RequiredThe undertaking of works in an endangered ecological community (weed control, seed collection,planting or other works) requires the issuing of a Section 132C licence from the NPWS Division of theUBM Ecological Consultants Pty Ltd 149
