                            operate while necessary improvements are made to Lake
                            Macdonald dam, an important water supply for south-east
                            Queensland.
                         2. The proposed use is small scale, requires direct access to the lake,
                            is temporary in nature and potential impacts on the area’s
                            ecological and water catchment values have been minimised.
               C. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
