10. Pre-lodgement meeting record (2020)

                                                                                          2010-19136 SPL



        The current proposal is to extend area four and area six and add a new area seven to address
        current erosion issues.

        Depending on the applicant confirming the final scope of works, the application required will
        be a change to existing approval or a new MCU. If amending the existing approval, the
        Environmental Authority (EA) may be amended separate to the DA process directly through
        the Department of Environment and Science (DES). If this is the case, please refer to the
        following   website    for   further   details   on   applying    to   amend      the   EA:
        https://www.business.qld.gov.au/running-business/environment/licences-permits/change-
        combine/change#:~:text=To%20amend%20an%20EA%20where,or

        It will likely be a requirement in any EA amendment that the dredge material be clean in
        accordance with the National Assessment Guideline for Dredging (NAGD). It may also be
        recommended to condense the EA conditions into a single site to simplify the EA and reduce
        the number of conditions.

        With regards to whether the works constitute a major or minor amendment, DES is unable to
        provide comment until the application to amend the EA is formally lodged as an assessment
        level decision is required under the Environmental Protection Act 1994.

        A ‘other’ change to the Development Approval (DA) would also need to be lodged for the tidal
        works component of the works.

        ‘Alternative’ proposal (new expanded MCU)
        An alternative proposal was discussed in the meeting for the DA/EA to encompass the entire
        operation area along the extent of the Noosa River foreshore (from Hilton Esplanade to
        Munna Point, on the southern shore only) and Weyba Creek (from Munna Point to the Noosa
        Parade bridge).

        In this case, the works would require a new MCU. Subsequently, assessment of the operation
        would be undertaken as if the application were for a new EA for ERA 16 and DA. It is
        recommended sediment testing in accordance with the NAGD be undertaken and submitted
        with the application. Please refer to the NAGD Guideline below for further information:

        1959649203a6/files/guidelines09.pdf

        Where the operation triggers an MCU and technical assessment for an EA for ERA 16 and a
        DA, please refer to the information below for application requirements.

2.      SDAP State code 8

        If the proposed works constitute an MCU, provide a response to the latest version of the State
        Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP) State code 8 – Coastal development and tidal
        works in its entirety, identifying how the proposed development meets each performance
        outcome. The latest version of SDAP State code 8 is available at:
        https://planning.dsdmip.qld.gov.au/planning/better-development/the-development-
        assessment-process/the-states-role/state-development-assessment-provisions.

        For more information regarding how to demonstrate compliance with the relevant State codes,
        please see: http://www.dlgrma.qld.gov.au/resources/policy/sdap/v2/introductory-sections.pdf.

        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 performance outcomes
        (PO) 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 the proposed application, the following performance
