14     The control over the release of water from all ponds, tanks and drainage systems within the
       approved area must be maintained at all times.
15     Where waters are introduced for the aquaculture of the approved species, the developer must
       implement all reasonable measures to ensure all waters are sufficiently screened to prevent the
       movement of any juvenile or adult wild fauna (excepting zooplankton) into the approved area.

16     The movement of all freshwater crayfish and prawns must comply with the "Health Protocol for
       the Importation and Movement of Live Freshwater Crayfish and Prawns (FAMPR006)".

       Queensland waters (as defined in the Acts Interpretation Act 1954).

22     All containers used to aquaculture exotic species are to be screened to exclude vertebrate
        predators (eg. Birds)

23     Containers used for the aquaculture of exotic species must be constructed on land that is
       situated above the 1:1 00 (Q100)flood level.

24     Filters or screens must be installed to ensure that all waters leaving containers used for the
       aquaculture of exotic species are treated to prevent the escape of eggs, juveniles or adults into
       Queensland waters (as defined in the Acts Interpretation Act 1954).

25      No water originating from the aquaculture of exotic species is permitted to reach Queensland
       waters (as defined in the Acts Interpretation Act 1954) with the exception of constructed storage
