Approvals




4          Approvals
           Queensland State Government will require approvals under the Planning Act 2016 and the
           Environmental Protection Act 1994 for this project.

           The approvals sought for this project include:

           • A Development Application for:

               ○ Environmental Authority for operational works approval for an Environmentally Relevant
                 Activity (ERA) 16 - Extractive and Screening Activities

               ○ Operational works for tidal works and works within the Coastal Management District

               ○ Operational works that is the removal, destruction, or damage of marine plants.

           Whilst the two sand plugs will partially bund the navigational channel, they are designed such that
           the crest of the bund is submerged at high tide, and any fish would not be trapped. Therefore, a
           Waterway Barrier Permit under the Fisheries Act 1994 is not required.

           This report has been prepared for the purposes of supporting each of these applications.

           A development application requires relevant State Codes to be addressed. For this application, those
           codes are:

           • State Code 7: Maritime Safety

           • State Code 11: Removal, Destruction or Damage of Marine Plants

           • State Code 8: Coastal Development and Tidal Works

           • State Code 22: Environmentally Relevant Activities.

           These are addressed in Appendix C; works comply with the relevant state codes.
