Attachment 6 - UXO Report May 2010 · MCU13/0251

 

 

Post Activity Certification 2
UXO Search & Remediation Milsearch

Peregian Caravan Park, 215 David Low Way, Peregian Beach.

 

The only area that would appear to still be in its natural state would be the area of Bushland along
the western boundary. Unfortunately the present overgrown state of this area prevents any UXO
assessment. It is likely that, if there were any evidence of previous military activity on this site, then
it may be found in this undeveloped area.

In view of the competence of the operators, the capabilities of the equipment, the results of regular
equipment testing and the outcomes of QC checks, it is considered that the methodology applied
to conduct the UXO search and remediation and UXO Assessment within this Site was appropriate
and that a confidence level approaching 100% has been achieved.

It is therefore the professional opinion of Milsearch Pty Ltd that to the best of our knowledge and
belief, within the limitations of the equipment, the parts of the Site that were able to be searched
are free of any remnant UXO.

7.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
As a result of this UXO investigation, it is recommended that;

¢ The Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management accept the
conclusions of this report;

e As part of the intended development a 10 meter wide strip of bush along the western
boundary is to be cleared. It is our recommendation that this area be subject to a UXO
Assessment / Remediation once scrub is cleared. The outcome of this further
assessment will allow DERM to make a more informed decision on the removal of the
UXO Advisory Note on this site.

¢ Subject to the Queensland DERM concurrence that no further UXO related works are
required on those areas within the Caravan Park that have been searched as part of this
Remediation / Assessment, it is recommended that Development Approval be granted to
allow planned works to proceed. All necessary UXO cautions and OH & S procedures are
to be observed.
