The NGH Report surmises that:No threatened flora species identified within the Majura Parkway EIS are considered likely to occurwithin RB707 or RB708. With respect to threatened fauna, it is considered that the Golden Sun Mothand the Striped Legless Lizard may potentially occur within RB707 and/or 708.Accordingly, and to err on the side of caution in respect of any potential presence of Golden Sun Moths andStriped Legless Lizards, the Proponent has adopted and committed to the following as control measuresproposed by NGH Environment:Have an ecologist survey the grassland for Golden Sun Moth and Striped Legless Lizard priorto the construction phase of the Proposed Works. If any Golden Sun Moth pupae cases orStriped Legless Lizard are found, they will be relocated by a licensed ecologist to adjacentgrassland.Where feasible Use only pile driven ground mount framing for solar modules rather thanconcrete footingsDo not park vehicles or store equipment under or adjacent to any large eucalyptus trees onthe Proposed SiteWhere feasible do not leave any cable trenches open overnight in case the Striped LeglessLizard or any other native fauna become trapped. If this is unavoidable, care should be takenthe following morning and the trenches inspected prior to work commencing.4.3Visual AmenityThe site is located within the Majura Valley, characterised by undulating topography and grazing lands. TheMajura Valley is a distinctive feature of the ACT, located approximately 10km north west of the Canberra citycentre.The immediate surrounds of the site are due to be considerably altered by the construction of the MajuraParkway. An overhead transmission easement also runs past the site.Figure 4.7 below outlines the location of nearby houses within 2km, of which only House 1 and potentiallyHouse 2 have a direct line of site to the Proposed Works.It is also noted that the proposed site will be a “road island” that is bounded by the Majura Parkway andMajura Rd. As detailed in the Landscape Plan provided in Annexure 4, the verges of the site will be plantedwith screening to maintain the visual rural amenity of the area.44Mount Majura Solar Farm – Works Approval Submission
