                                                                                              2212-32529 SRA




Attachment 3—Reasons for referral agency response
(Given under section 56(7) of the Planning Act 2016)

      The Operational Work and Material change of use for an ERA achieves compliance with the
       applicable performance outcomes of State codes 8, 11 and 18 of the SDAP as follows:
           o will not adversely impact coastal processes
           o does not significantly increase the risk or impacts to people and property from coastal
               erosion
           o conditions will ensure that rehabilitation and long-term management of erosion will be
               appropriately monitored and managed.

Material used in the assessment of the application:

      The development application material and submitted plans
      Planning Act 2016
      Planning Regulation 2017
      The State Development Assessment Provisions (version 2.3), as published by the department
      The Development Assessment Rules
      SARA DA Mapping system


The reasons for the SARA’s decision are:
The proposed development complies with the assessment benchmarks and purpose statement within the
following codes:

State Code 7 – Maritime Safety as the proposed development is considered to:
      not distract attention away from, or otherwise reduce the effectiveness of, aids to navigation
      be designed and constructed to be visible to mariners, to avoid the risk of collision
      does not interfere with the operation of aids to navigation
      be conditioned to ensure it does not obstruct the safe movement of vessels in a navigable
         waterway
State Code – Coastal development and tidal works 8 as the proposed development is considered
to:
      protect life, buildings and infrastructure from the impacts of coastal erosion
      maintain and conserve coastal resources
      maintain appropriate public use of, and access to and along, State coastal land
      account for the projected impacts of climate change
      avoid impacts or, where the matters of state environmental significance cannot be reasonably
         avoided, impacts are reasonably minimised and mitigated
      does not result in a significant residual impact on a matter of state environmental significance
         unless the significant residual impact is acceptable, and an offset is provided
State code 11- Removal, destruction, or damage of marine plants as the proposed development is
considered to:
     maintains the extent, distribution, diversity and condition of marine plant communities and
        protects the ecological functions to which they contribute
     maintains the health and productivity of fisheries resources and fish habitat
     minimises impacts on the management, use, development and protection of fisheries resources
        and fish habitat
     is designed and located to avoid impacts or, where the matters of state environmental
        significance cannot be reasonably avoided, impacts are reasonably minimised and mitigated
        through conditions
