7     ADVISORY NOTES

The following Advisory Notes are for information purposes only and do not form conditions of
approval:
1.    Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
      construction constraints, a Change to an Existing Approval Application under the Integrated
      Planning Act must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged
      with this application along with the appropriate fees
Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003
There may be a requirement to establish a Cultural Heritage Management Plan and/or obtain
approvals pursuant to the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (ACH Act).
The ACH Act establishes a cultural heritage duty of care which provides that: “A person who carries
out an activity must take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not
harm Aboriginal cultural heritage”. It is an offence to fail to comply with the duty of care. Substantial
monetary penalties may apply to individuals or corporations breaching this duty of care. Injunctions
may also be issued by the Land and Resources Tribunal, and the Minister administering the ACH Act
can also issue stop orders for an activity that is harming or is likely to harm Aboriginal cultural
heritage or the cultural heritage value of Aboriginal cultural heritage.
                                                                                      Page 3 of 15

Additional information for the assessment manager

The Environmental Protection Agency referral agency jurisdiction for the development application is confined to
that aspect of the application involving the triggers identified in the response. EPA has no referral agency
jurisdiction in relation to other aspects of the development application.

In this regard it should be noted that the State Coastal Management Plan 2001 and SEQ Regional Coastal
Management Plan 2006 which, for the purposes of making a statutory decision, has the same effect as a state
planning policy. The assessment manager is required to give due consideration to the relevant State planning
policies when deciding the application.

Additional information for applicants

This approval is to be utilised concurrently with the most current development approval issued for dredging
works associated with the sand shifting facility at Noosa Beach (IPDE01113208). Reference should be made to
the conditions of the dredging approval when undertaking operational works associated with the sand shifting
activity.

It is a requirement of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 that if the owner or occupier of this site becomes
aware a Notifiable Activity (as defined under Schedule 2 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994) is being
carried out on this iand or that the land has been affected by a hazardous contaminant, they must, within twenty
two (22) business days after becoming aware the activity is being carried out, give notice to the Environmental
Protection Agency. A list of Notifiable Activities is provided within Schedule 2 of the Environmental Protection
Act 1994.

This concurrence response pursuant to the integrated Planning Act 1997 and assessed against section 104 of
the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995 does not remove the need to obtain any further approvals for
this development which may be required pursuant to this or other legislation, both State and Commonwealth.
Applicants are advised to check with all relevant statutory authorities for such approvals as may be required.

Contaminated Land

Itis a requirement of the Environmental Protection Act 1994 that if an owner or occupier of land becomes aware
a Notifiable Activity (as defined by Schedule 2 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994) is being carried out on
the land or that the land has been affected by a hazardous contaminant, they must, within 30 days after
becoming so aware, give notice to the Environmental Protection Agency.

14.

15.

The sand shifting activity and/or associated activities must not cause adverse impacts on the natural
coastal processes of the region.

Amaximum volume of 60,000m3 of sand may be removed from the borrowed areas within any twelve
(12) month period, provided it is consistent with the net natural littoral drift rates and does not affect the
other approval conditions.

Sand is to be only extracted from area labelied ‘Area of Sand Extraction’ and only deposited in area
labelled ‘Area of Sand deposition’ as shown in Figure 1 (Drawing 33020-8-01 E).

While the sand shifter can be operated anywhere within the 200m x 55m area depicted east of the river
mouth training wall, its location shall always be sufficiently seaward to provide sufficient beach width so
as not to have detrimental impacts on the duné and vegetation system. The sand shifter is not to cause
any long term recession of the beach profile.

No sand is to be removed from the coastal dune system.
No sand shall be permanently removed from the active beach system.

The sand shifting activity and/or associated activities must not result in changes to hydrodynamics, tidal
prism and tidal regime of the Noosa River.

All practical and reasonable measures must be taken to prevent the occurrence of by-catch associated
with the operation of the sand shifting activity and/or associated activities.

The sand shifter is not to operate below a depth of 8 metres below the natural surface profile or the depth
required to maintain stability of the Noosa River Training wall (whichever is the lesser).

Sand shall be placed uniformly along the section of beach to be nourished using the discharge outlets
available and in accordance with the specified plans.

All deposited sand shail be clean and free of silt, clay, organic material or any other deleterious substance
and must be of a grain size compatible with the existing beach sand

Acid Sulfate Soils

16.

18.

For all works within the Noosa Estuary that may potentially expose acid sulphate soils, an acid sulfate soil
investigation must be performed in accordance with the QASSIT Guidelines (Ahern C.R., Ahern M.R. and
Powell B., 1998, Guidelines for Sampling and Analysis of Lowiand Acid Sulfate Sails (ASS) in
Queensland 1998, Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines) or subsequent versions
thereof, prior to commencing the construction works.

Construction and operation of the sand shifting facility must comply with the fatest edition of the

Environmental Protection Agency’s instructions for the Treatment and Management of Acid Sulfate Soils,
2001.

 

Acid sulfate soils must be managed such that contaminants are not directly or indirectly released, as a
result of the construction and operation of the sand shifting activity and/or associated activities, to any
waters or the bed and banks of any waters.

Vegetation and Dune Stability

 

19. All works must be undertaken in a manner that minimises damage to the vegetation adjacent to the site

20. The width of clearing of the vegetation for access and construction works is to be minimised and mature
trees are to be retained where possible by minor realignment of the works.

must be stockpiled separately prior to excavation, and respread over the development area after re-
profiling as part of the revegetation works. .

22. Allareas of exposed sand are to be stabilised against wind erosion during the construction period.

23. Al material excavated from a dunal system for construction works must be placed, ievelled and stabilised
against wind erosion on the seaward side of the building or structure.

24. Any erosion or loss of sand surrounding the works that occurs because of changes caused by the works
must be rectified.

25. Immediately following construction of the works:
«The dunal areas are to be re-profiled to achieve the natural profile of the system;

« Disturbed areas are to be stabilised against wind erosion and rainwater run-off erosion and
revegetated through the re-establishment of the endemic native plants common to the site;

« - The revegetated area is to be fenced off where necessary to prevent pedestrian access across the
area; and

« Riparian vegetation is to be re-instated adjacent to the access jetty where existing vegetation is
disturbed ang.where existing pump infrastructure is removed.

26. The drainage of process overflow waters and stormwater associated with the sand shifter pumping station
must not cause erosion of the dune or beach system.

Site Access

27. Access to the permanent pumping station site shall be along the designated vehicle access track, and the
surrounding dunal vegetation must be maintained to the satisfaction of the Environmental Protection
Agency.

The Sunshine Coast Regional Council is to develop a Sand Shifting Management Plan which details the
operational and monitoring strategies consistent with the conditions of this approval. The Plan shall
include a monitoring strategy for ensuring that the pumping regime is consistent with the natural net
littoral drift rates.. As a minimum, the plan should Include monthly monitoting of the vagetation line.

Details of the quantity of sand recycled are to be sent to the Environmental Protection Agency on a
monthly basis.

Within 12 months of establishment and at 5 yearly intervals or sooner if the Environmental Protection
Agency has reasonable concerns that the local or regional natural coastal processes are being adversely
affected, a program of research must be undertaken to determine the long-term impacts of the sand
Shifting operation on the depositional characteristics of Noosa Estuary. In particular, the Environmental
Protection Agency seeks to determine whether the operation of the sand shifting facility within the active
system undermines the supply of sediment to the estuary. The Environmental Protection Agency must be
consulted in the development of the research program.

Recording of any faunal by-catch associated with the sand shifting activity must be undertaken on a daily
basis during days of operation. Records of by-catch must be provided to the Environmental Protection
Agency bi-annually for the first year of operation.

Beach and dune profiling is to be undertaken every 6 months for the first 5 years and annually thereafter
from the sand extraction area at Noosa Spit Beach to the sand deposition area at Noosa Main Beach.
One profiling event must be a detailed survey (survey intervals of <50m) and include profiling of the surf
zone (minimum 5m water depth). The other profiling event must include 4 profiles of the beach zone (two.
at Noosa Spit Beach and two at Noosa Main Beach). Both surveys must be provided to the
Environmental Protection Agency upon completion.
