Reasons for the inclusion of development conditions

In accordance with Section 3.3.18(7) of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and Section 27B of the Acts
Interpretation Act 1954, the reasons for the inclusion of development conditions are:

. The Environmental Protection Agency is recognised as a concurrence agency under the Integrated _
Planning Amendment Regulation (No. 1) 1998 for coastal management, other than amenity and aesthetic
significance or value. Development conditions placed on the development approval for the application are
in accordance with section 106 of the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995.

Additional information for applicants

It is a requirement of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 that if the owner or occupier of this site
becomes aware a Notifiable Activity (as defined under Schedule 2 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994)
is being carried out on this land or that the land has been affected by a hazardous contaminant, they must,
within twenty two (22) business days after becoming aware the activity is being carried out, give notice to the
Environmental Protection Agency. A list of Notifiable Activities is provided within Schedule 2 of the
Environmental Protection Act 1994.

This concurrence response pursuant to the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and assessed against section 104
of the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995 does not remove the need to obtain any further
approvals for this development which may be required pursuant to this or other legislation, both State and
Commonwealth. Applicants are advised to check with all relevant statutory authorities for such approvals as
may be required. :

Additional information for the Assessment Manager:

The Environmental Protection Agency referral agency jurisdiction for the development application is confined
to that aspect of the application involving the triggers identified in the response. EPA has no referral
agency jurisdiction in relation to other aspects of the development application.

In this regard it should be noted that the State Coastal Management Plan 2001 and SEQ Regional Coastal
Management Plan 2006 which, for the purposes of making a statutory decision, has the same effect as a
state planning policy. The assessment manager is required to give due consideration to the relevant State
planning policies when deciding the application.
