In accordance with discussions between DERM: Rod Gamer and Emanate: Kayla Gulliver
on 30 July 2009, DERM confirmed that should the deck be removed DERM would be
supportive of the Development Application.

it was further confirmed DERM supports:

° the structure providing the deck be removed; and

e the use of the regatta stairs, gangway and floating pontoon combination.

The deck has been removed and the structure minimised to the original size approved by
Council on 29 April 2009 under Council reference number: 2008/1704,

Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) Comments

Emanate draws your attention to correspondence dated 23 July 2009 see attached for ease
of reference. MSQ have advised that it has no objection in relation to the Development
Application providing the structure does not extend past the quayline.

Although MSQ approved plan WD707 (C11), the same principal applies to the attached
Plan WD 707(C12) as the structure does not extend past the quayline.
