DEEDI Approval to request to change and existing development approval · OPW11/0116

6        Due to the migration and spawning activities of commercially and recreationally important
         species of fish within the area, dredging works must not be undertaken:
         during the months of June and July; and
         during the two days prior, the days of, and the two days after the new and full moons in the
         month of August.
7        Monitoring of the completed Stage 1 works, as defined within the Proposal Details of Condition
         1, must be undertaken annually for a reasonable number of years (dependent on the outcome
         of the monitoring) by a suitably qualified person and must be concluded with an annual
         monitoring report. Each annual monitoring report must be provided to the Manager, Planning
         and Assessment, Fisheries Queensland, PO Box 5083 SCMC, Nambour QLD 4560. The
         monitoring report must include an evaluation of the completed Stage 1 works; specifically, their
         effectiveness in combating ongoing erosion, and an evaluation of the need for further works.
8        A written report which details the completed fisheries development works must be provided
         within fifteen (15) days of the completion of the works, to the District Officer, Queensland
         Boating and Fisheries Patrol, PO Box 20, Tewantin QLD 4565, and the Manager, Planning and
         Assessment, Fisheries Queensland, PO Box 5083 SCMC, Nambour QLD 4560. The report
         should contain confirmation of the amount of disturbance to marine plants, confirmation of the
         total amount of dredge material, as-constructed drawings and an overview of the construction
         methodology and timeframes.

9        OFFSET CONDITION

          A Deed, or other formal written agreement, for fish habitat offsets is to be entered into
         between The State of Queensland, acting through its agency the Department of Employment,
         Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI), and Sunshine Coast Regional Council. The
         impacted marine fish habitat outlined in Condition 1 is to be offset in a manner that is
         acceptable to Fisheries Queensland and compliant with the Queensland Government
         Environmental Offsets Policy and Fisheries Habitat Management Operational Policy FHMOP
         005: Mitigation and Compensation for Works or Activities Causing Marine Fish Habitat Loss.
         The offset/s will preferably be documented within an offset package for the Noosa River Spit
         Erosion Protection Works and may include: a) direct offsets through inputs for the protection,
         creation or enhancement of fish habitats and fisheries resources; or b) indirect offset financial
         contribution to be allocated to fish habitat projects for the protection, creation or enhancement
         of fish habitats and fisheries resources; or c) a combination of a) and b). The offset Deed, or
         other formal written agreement, must be executed by both parties within twelve (12) months of
         the issue of the decision notice for this approval.

           compliance with the abovementioned conditions is achieved.
