RE aiihwondandivegetationnns -
7.1 Excavation and filling for prescribed
tidal work—

(a) is carried out only to the extent
reasonably necessary for the work; and
(b) does not have a significant
adverse effect on—

(i) the natural features of the

tidal water under, within or

over which the work is

located; or

(ii) the level of the surface of

the land under the tidal

water under, within or over

which the work is located,

or any foreshores near the

work.

A probable Solution
mentioned in paragraph (a);

(d) any other relevant planning scheme
standard that is not inconsistent

with the standards mentioned in
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).

 
  
  
 

 

e earthwork and filling for the
prescribed tidal work is consistent with
each relevant planning scheme standard.

(a) in the interest of minimising costs whilst ensuring the
revetment wall is structurally sound, the works have been
designed to utilise as minimal rock and occupy as minimal
footprint as is necessary.

(b)(i)The area is already highly modified and therefore the
reinstatement of the revetment wail is unlikely to
significantly affect natural features of the tidal water.

(b)(ii)the works will increase the volume of artificial structure
under tidal water at Highest Astronomical tide by
approximately 30m*. Given the relatively large width of the
river in the area of the works, along with the existing hard
structured training walls on either side of the works, it is not
anticipated that the amount of additional rock filling
reinstatement/repair of the existing rock revetment will
significantly affect the hydrodynamics and tidal prisms in the
area. Despite this, as a project separate to this application,
Council is currently considering engaging a hydrodynamic
study for the entire Noosa River System. This will enable
the actual impact of all existing and future works in the river
to be predicted and managed appropriately. Due to the
impending failure of the road as a result of the dilapidated
existing revetment wall, it is not possible to await to results
of the hydrodynamic study prior to proceeding with
reinstatement of the revetment wall.

 

7.2 The location of prescribed tidal work
ensures vegetation is cleared or
disturbed only to the extent reasonably
necessary for the work.

 

The vegetation in the tidal water, under
within or over which the prescribed tidal
work is located, or on land under the tidal
water, is cleared or disturbed in a way

 

No vegetation will be disturbed as a result of the prescribed
tidal works.
