Attachment 3—Reasons for referral agency response
[Given under section 56(7) of the Planning Act 2076)

 

The reasons for the SARA’s decision are:

© The proposed development is for a material change of use for landing and operational work for
prescribed tidal works to construct a new catwalk and pontoon system st 32 Noosa Parade,
Noosa Heads, which is formally described as Lot 15 on N21842.

* The pontoon and catwalk is for private use and for one vessel with a maximum wet vessel beam of
2.8 metres.

® The pontoon will be located in a canal.

* The proposed structure, including any vessel berthed, moored or attached to the structure:

© will not encroach into, pass over or under a navigation corridor, and
© is not located in a high-risk maritime development zone.

e SARA assessed the development against FT5 qualifying criteria checklist 4 and State code 8:
Coastal development for tidal works, of the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP
v3.2).

*® The proposed structure meets the FT5 qualifying criteria checklist 4 and complies with the SDAP,
subject to conditions to ensure:

© the development is carried out generally in accordance with the plans of development
submitted with the application

© that at all times, all lights on or above the development site do not interfere with safe
navigation in surrounding waterways

© the development does not encroach on the navigation corridor or high-risk maritime zone to
ensure the safe passage of vessels

o that debris from the development does not create a hazard to navigation

o that there is no residual material that could create a hazard to navigation.

*® The development complies with the assessment benchmarks of State code 8 of SDAP (version 3.2)

in that the development:
© does not adversely impact life, buildings and infrastructure from the impacts of coastal
erosion
maintains and concerns both coastal processes and resources
maintains appropriate public use of, and access to and along, State coastal land
© avoids impacts or, where the matters of state environmental significance cannot be
reasonably avoided, impacts are reasonably minimised and mitigated
© does not result in a significant residual impact on a matter of state environmental significance.
