AO8.3 Coastal protection work does not increase
the coastal hazard risk for adjacent areas or
properties.

Cory g

The works are repair of an existing revetment wall and as
such the coastal hazard risk on adjacent areas will not be
increased from the current situation.

 

PO9 Development avoids adverse
impacts on matters of state
environmental significance, or where this
is not reasonably possible, impacts are
minimised and an environmental offset is
provided for any significant residual
impacts to matters of state environmental
significance that are prescribed
environmental matters.

AO9.1 Development:

(1) is set back from matters of state environmental
significance

(2) avoids interrupting, interfering or otherwise adversely
impacting underlying natural ecosystem components
or processes and interactions that affect or maintain
the matters of state environmental significance, such
as water quality, hydrology, geomorphology and
biological processes, or

(3) incorporates measures as part of its location and
design to protect and retain matters of state
environmental significance and underlying ecosystem
processes within and adjacent to the development
site to the greatest extent practicable.

Editor's note: Applications for development should identify any

threatened species or their habitats, or threatened ecosystems

that may be affected by the proposal. In particular, applications

should identify and describe how the development avoids

adverse impacts on any critical life stage ecological processes

within or adjacent to the development area.

AND

The area where the works are proposed is mapped as
containing Matters of State Environmental Significance for
Regulated Vegetation intersecting a watercourse. This
mapping matter is irrelevant to the site because the area
where the works are proposed is all hard infrastructure. Due
to surrounding infrastructure, vegetation restoration and
enhancement is not appropriate or relevant in the location
for the small scale of the proposed project.

 

AO9.2 An environmental offset is provided for any
significant residual impact on matters of state
environmental significance that are prescribed
environmental matters caused by the development.
Editor’s note: Applications for development should identify
anticipated losses, and outline what actions are proposed to be
undertaken to offset the loss in accordance with the relevant
Queensland Environmental Offsets Policy.

PO10 Development maintains or
enhances general public access to or
along the foreshore, unless this is
contrary to the protection of coastal
resources or public safety.

 

A0O10.1 Development adjacent to state coastal land or
tidal water:
(1) demonstrates that restrictions to public access are
necessary for:
(a) the safe or secure operation of development, or
(b) the maintenance of coastal landforms and
coastal habitat
(2) separates residential, tourist and retail development

 

 

Repair of the revetment is necessary to also facilitate repair
of the riverside footpath access to the foreshore.
