A new module is likely to be developed to specifically for methods that involve the use of detection dogs, with protocols on:

• Detection dog training
• Detection dog surveys

A new module is likely to be developed specifically for the collection of eDNA samples, with protocols for:

• Disinfection and contamination prevention
• Sample collection
• Sample storage

A new module is likely to be developed to specifically target aquatic reptiles (i.e. turtles), and include protocols for:

• Visual survey transects
• Snorkel transects
• Trapping
• Seine netting
• Nest site monitoring

The intention of the Habitat condition mapping protocol is to map the condition of defined habitats within the project area, and capture information on fauna refuge areas not captured in other protocols. Note that the condition will involve actual measurement of habitat attributes, rather than qualitative, arbitrary scores. It is envisaged that this protocol will use GIS software to map vegetation associations. 

A new module is likely to be developed specifically for post-construction fatality monitoring, with protocols for:

• Carcass persistence
• Searcher efficiency
• Mortality surveys
• Incidentel records

The existing Aerial Fauna Surveys Module will be adapted for field data collection using a data-form (or data-sheet) rather than the Monitor app.

New protocols may be included to include uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) survey methods

The existing Camera Trapping Module will be adapted for field data collection using a data-form (or data-sheet) rather than the Monitor app. New protocols for video capture may be added.

The existing Fauna Ground Counts Module will be adapted for field data collection using a data-form (or data-sheet) rather than the Monitor app.

The existing Transect protocol and Vantage point protocol will be adapted to include fauna behaviour and habitat utilisation fields, and allow for call playback to be used. 

New protocols that may end up being grouped into the Fauna Ground Counts Module include: 

• Emergence counts - to include flying-fox camp flyouts, and the use of video and thermography
• Vantage point raptor nest monitoring

The Opportune Module for Impact Assessment will be based on the existing EMSA Opportune Module, and include additional fields to capture fauna behaviour and habitat utilisation. The module will also be adapted for field data collection using a data-form (or data-sheet) rather than the Monitor app.

The existing Vegetation Mapping Module will be adapted for field data collection using a data-form (or data-sheet) rather than the Monitor app.

The protocol will be similar to the protocols of the existing Vegetation Mapping Module, but include steps to map entire project areas, and distinguish different zones and development footprints. It is envisaged that this protocol will recommend GIS software to map vegetation associations. 

The existing Vertebrate Fauna Module will be adapted for field data collection using a data-form (or data-sheet) rather than the Monitor app.

The existing Trapping survey set-up and closure protocol will be adapted to enable different trap types to be used, and a more flexible trapping grid layout. Similarly, the Identify, measure and release protocol will be adapted to cater for different trap types, refuge types, and net traps being used. 

The 2 hectare, 20 minute bird surveys and 500 metre area search protocols will have additional fauna behaviour and habitat utilisation fields included.

All bird survey protocols may be moved from the Vertebrate Fauna Module to a new Bird Survey Module.

The Active and passive search protocol will be adapted to be conducted off-plot (i.e. not the currently required 100 x 200 m 2 ha plots) with the surveyor able to define plot dimensions, search area, search techniques, and survey effort.

New protocols that may end up being grouped into the Vertebrate Fauna Module include: 

• Artificial refuge installation
• Hap trap installation and closure
• Mist net installation and closure
• Roaming raptor nest surveys

The existing Acoustic and ultrasonic recordings protocol of the Vertebrate Fauna Survey Module will likely be separated into a new module, and include the protocols:

• Passive recorder deployment
• Passive recorder re-equipping
• Passive recorder retrieval
• Active recording point
• Active recording transect
