o under the Planning Regulation 2017, Council is Assessment Manager for prescribed tidal works
applications.
The following actions must be taken before your application will be accepted as properly made:
the correct marine plants trigger fee is identified
o provide details of the extent of marine plant impact in square metres and update relevant
proposal plans to depict the extent of marine plant impact so that SARA can verify the applicable
fee.
o based on the material provided, SARA’s view is that the applicable fee for trigger 8.4.3(e) is likely
fee item 5(c)(ii) 13,715 fee units equivalent to $15,032, which states ‘the operational work is the
removal, destruction or damage of marine plants covering an area of more than 1500m2 and is
not expected to cause a loss of capacity of tidal land’
Marine plants are defined under the Fisheries Act 1994 and include the following:
a) a plant (a tidal plant) that usually grows on, or adjacent to, tidal land, whether it is living,
dead, standing or fallen;
b) material of a tidal plant, or other plant material on tidal land;
c) a plant, or material of a plant, prescribed under regulation or management plan to be a
marine plant.
The loss of capacity of tidal land in the Planning Regulation 2017 means the loss of the
capacity of the land to sustain marine plants of the quality or quantity sustained on the land
before operational work is carried out.
Provide confirmation as to how the tidal works aspect of your proposed development is going to be
addressed, in consultation with the Council.
To ensure the application is properly made:
complete the above actions; and
give SARA notice advising that you have complied with the action notice within 20 business days,
starting the day after receiving the action notice, or a further agreed period.
