Appendix A_2008-18430 SPL - Pre-lodgement advice (1)

                                                                                             2008-18430 SPL




    The proposed works are adjacent to the following MSES:
    • Regulated Vegetation (essential habitat)
    • Wildlife Habitat (special least concern animal)
    • Wildlife Habitat (endangered or vulnerable)
    • Declared High Ecological Value Waters (wetland)
    • Declared Fish Habitat area (A and B areas)
    • Protected Area (estates)
    • High Ecological Significance Wetlands

11. To address PO16 of State code 8, it will be required to determine if there are any MSES on or
    adjacent to the proposed development site. A definition of MSES is available in Schedule 2 of the
    Environmental Offsets Regulation.

12. Environmental Reports Online (https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/report-request/environment/) can be used
    to conduct a desktop analysis to identify any mapped MSES that exists on (using the lot on plan
    option to search) and near the proposed site/s (using the central coordinates option to search).
    Where MSES are identified:
     Provide a targeted assessment to ground truth any MSES identified.
     Demonstrate how the development avoids adverse impacts on each MSES to the greatest extent
        practicable.
     Where the above is not reasonably possible, demonstrate how impacts on MSES have or will be
        minimised and/or mitigated to the greatest extent practicable.
     Demonstrate whether the development will have a Significant Residual Impact (SRI) on any
        identified MSES using the Queensland Treasury’s Significant Residual Impact Guideline
        (http://www.dlgrma.qld.gov.au/resources/guideline/planning/dsdip-significant-residual-impact-
        guideline.pdf). An assessment will need to be undertaken for each MSES to determine whether
        the proposed development will result in a SRI.
     Identify any potential offset obligation as per PO16 (3) of State code 8. For further advice on
        environmental offsets please visit the following website
        http://www.qld.gov.au/environment/pollution/management/offsets/ or contact DES to organise a
        meeting to discuss this.

    Please refer to the Guideline: State Development Assessment Provisions, State code 8: Coastal
    development and tidal works (https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/coastal/development/pdf/state-
    code8-coastal-development-tidal-works.pdf) in responding to State code 8.

    The guideline contains information on how to respond to particular PO’s and outlines specific
    information requirements. It should be noted that if the PO has no relevance to the proposed
    development a response of “not applicable” and a statement as to why it is not relevant is required.
    For this application, the following PO’s will require a detailed response: PO2 – PO5, PO8, PO11,
    PO13, PO16 and PO19- PO21.
    The following tools may be helpful for a desktop analysis and assessment:
     DES Environmental Reports Online
    https://apps.des.qld.gov.au/report-request/environment/
     DNRME Regulated Vegetation Mapping
