10. Pre-lodgement meeting record (2020)

                                                                                                 2010-19136 SPL




                          greater use of the beach, protect van/tent sites) and measures or work
                          methods that reduce detrimental impact to the place; and
                      (c) outlining those aspects of the work which aim to conserve the place’s cultural
                          significance (ie. any protective measures needed to avoid harm to significant
                          trees).
 11.     The development application should provide detailed sections of the Munna Point deposition
         area to illustrate the extent of dredged material relative to the park’s mature trees, van/tent
         sites, buildings/structures, landscape features like the low retaining walls along the foreshore,
         and the location of the Queensland Heritage Register (QHR) boundary for the place;

 12.     The development application should provide a detailed site plan to illustrate the spatial
         relationships outlined in point 2 above.


 10.6.3.1.11 Marine Plans (DAF)
 13.     Removal destruction or damage of marine plants

         Based on the material submitted, the proposed works are unlikely to involve the removal,
         destruction or damage of marine plants.
         Marine plants include:
               any plant (a tidal plant (including marine algae) that usually grows on or adjacent to
                  tidal lands whether it is living, dead, standing or fallen; or
               any plant material on tidal land (up to the level of Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT)).
               Plants such as mangroves, mangrove fern, saltcouch or samphire species are
                  considered marine plants regardless of whether or not they are above or below the
                  level of HAT.
         Marine plants do not include:
               a plant that is prohibited matter or restricted matter under the Biosecurity Act 2014; or
               a plant that is controlled biosecurity matter or regulated biosecurity matter under the
                  Biosecurity Act 2014.
         Marine plant protection applies irrespective of the tenure (e.g. unallocated state land and all
         state tenured lands, including private freehold and leasehold lands) of the land on which the
         plant occurs, the time the plant has been growing at the location, or the degree of or purpose
         of the disturbance.
 14.     One mangrove has been identified during a marine plant survey to be within the impact area
         of the proposed dredging and sand nourishing activities, however an exclusion zone has
         been established to avoid all impacts to marine plants. No further approvals for the removal,
         destruction or damage of marine plants will be required.

 15.     If the plans are amended and marine plants are proposed to be impacted, the works will not
         meet the accepted development requirements and a development approval will be required
         under the Planning Regulation 2017 for works which involve the removal, destruction or
         damage of marine plants.

 16.     Development within a declared Fish Habitat Area

         The proposed works are located within proximity to the Noosa River declared Fish Habitat
         Area (FHA), management area A. However, the applicant has stated the works will maintain a
         25 m minimum distance offset from the boundary of the FHA in accordance with the existing
         buffer distance in the Noosaville Dredge Management Plan. If this is the case then no further
         approvals for works within a FHA are required.

An outcome of the prelodgement was that the applicant investigates a new MCU and new EA for a
wholistic and consistent approval suite for all dredging activities in the locality. Plans and details have not
been provided from the applicant for this approach, but should the applicant prepare new plans or
information, SARA recommends a follow-up prelodgement meeting. In providing any new or revised
information, the applicant should also detail the proposed total tonnage of the proposed dredging.
