Acid sulfate Management Plan Reference Document OPW19-0239 · OPW19/0239

Gympie Terrace Noosaville Pty Ltd




1.0      INTRODUCTION
This Acid Sulfate Soil Management Plan (ASS MP) has been prepared by Core Consultants Pty Ltd (Core) in
order to manage and minimise the ASS environmental impacts during construction of a proposed unit
development at 217 to 219 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville (the site).
This ASS MP references the results of a Geotechnical and ASS Investigation undertaken by Core (refer
Core report J000799-002-R-Rev0, dated December 2018). The procedures contained within this ASS MP
should be updated and revised to address conditions encountered that vary from those indicated by
investigations or where alternative construction methodologies are adopted.
The ASS MP was prepared with consideration of the following documents:

      Queensland Acid Sulfate Soil Technical Manual: Soil Management Guidelines V4.0, 2014. Dear, S-E.,
       Ahern, C. R., O'Brien, L. E., Dobos, S. K., McElnea, A. E., Moore, N. G. & Watling, K. M. Department
       of Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts, Queensland Government;

      Guidelines for Sampling and Analysis of Lowland Acid Sulfate Soils in Queensland, 1998; Ahern, CR.,
       Ahern, M.R. and Powell;

      State Planning Policy, July 2014 (SPP14);

      State Planning Policy – state interest guideline, Water quality, August 2014;

      Environmental Protection Act 1994;

      Environmental Protection Policy (Water) 2009.

A copy of the ASS MP and associated forms, registers and records shall be kept at the site office during the
construction stage of the development.

2.0      OBJECTIVES
The objective of the ASS MP is to mitigate or control potential impacts relating to the disturbance of ASS
across the site. Disturbance includes the excavation of ASS and potential dewatering of ASS impacted
groundwater.

3.0      PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development is to comprise a three-storey apartment building with a single level basement
carpark (excavation depth of approximately 2 m). A concept sketch of the proposed development is shown in
