INTEGRATED PLANNING ACT 1997 Part A, Version 3.1, 3 March 2008

Advice for completing Part A (For more detailed advice, refer to IDAS Guide 1 (Making and IDAS application}

General advice

« Part A of IDAS Development Application Form 1 must be completed and accompany all development applications. The applicant is responsible for
answering ail questions fully and correctly, untess following a response there is a statement to go directly to another question. The Assessment Manger
may refuse to receive an application that is not properly made.

« The IDAS Assessment Checklist must also be completed for all development applications, other than those requiring assessment against the Building Act
1975 only, i.e. those applications requiring the completion of Parts A and B only.

Applicant details
« Ifthe applicant is a company or organisation, a contact person must be nominated. The applicant's signature is not required to be provided under the IPA.

Details of the premises

« The term ‘premises’ is defined by the IPA, schedule 10 to mean a building or other structure, and land (whether or not a building or other structure is.
situated on the fand). The term ‘land’ is also defined to include the estate in, on, over or under the land.

« Details of the land are not required if the application involves a mobile and temporary Environmentally Relevant Activity only. Instead complete Table A.

« The premises may be identified in a number of ways—

+ Street address and lot on plan are most common and will apply to most applications.

+ Coordinates may provide the best means of accurately identifying the location of development propased in waters, or on a relatively small
development site distant from property boundaries on a large lot. Sufficient coordinates need to be provided to identify the boundary of the premises
the subject of the application. Eastings and northings using GDA94 datum is preferred, but longitude and latitude and other (specified) datum such as
Zone Reference or GS84 may be provided.

« The definition of ‘water body’ and ‘watercourse’ can vary from Act to Act.

« Strategic Port Land is within a local government area but a local government's planning scheme does not apply on Strategic Port Land. Strategic Port
Land is declared under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994. For further information go to IDAS Guide 11 (Development on strategic port land} and the
Queensland Transport (Ports) website.

» ‘Tidal water’ is defined in the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995 (Schedule) and ‘tidal area’ for a local government and for strategic port land is
defined in the IPA (schedule 10). Generally, the area below ‘high-water mark’ (defined by the Coastal Act in relation to high water mark at spring tides)
establishes the boundary of a tidal area. Land below high water mark is not within a local government's area unless provided for under the Local Goverment
Act 1993. Unless otherwise provided for by legislation, a local government has no jurisdiction below high water mark. A tidal area for strategic port land is
within the jurisdiction of the relevant port authority, while the Environmental Protection Agency generally has jurisdiction for a local government tidal area.
However, the IPA gives local governments jurisdiction for assessing and deciding applications for prescribed tidal works within the local government tidal area,
and the planning scheme may be applied to that assessment (to the extent provided for in the cade for prescribed tidal work),

Resource entitlement

« Section 3.2.1(5) of the IPA requires evidence of resource entitlement be given for applications if they involve taking or interfering with a prescribed State
resource. Schedule 10 of the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998 (IPR) prescribes the State resources, including State-owned land, where evidence is
required to be given, and the evidence required to support the application. Link to Integrated Planning Regulation. Section 3.2.1(10)(a)(ii) states an
application cannot be taken to be properly made without the required evidence.

¢ For applications invotving the taking or interfering with water under the Water Act, the development application may be made at the same time as the
request for resource entitlement, and the Department of Natural Resources and Water will accept the application as property made.

For State-controlled roads, a resource entitlement is not required for an activity that is exempt ancillary works or encroachment (identified by gazette
notice under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994, section 50), or if the activity requires referral to the Department of Main Roads.

« Evidence may be required from more than one Department responsible for a State-owned resource, e.g. from the Environmental Protection Agency for
quarry material below high water mark, and the Department of Natural Resources and Water in relation to the State-owned land above high water mark.

Owner's consent

Section 3.2.1(3) of the IPA prescribes that an application must contain, or be supported by, the written consent of the land owner/s, if the application
involves: a material change of use; reconfiguration of a lot; work on land below high-water mark and not within a canal as defined under the Coasta/
Protection and Management Act 1995; or work on rail corridor land defined under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994.

« Evidence of this consent may need to be provided before the application will be accepted as properly made by the Assessment Manager, during the
processes of the application or in the event of an appeal about the outcome of the application.

+ ‘Owner for the purpose of a lodging an IDAS development application means the person at the time of todging the application, entitled to receive the rent
for the land (or would be entitled to receive the rent for it if it were let to a tenant at a rent).

« Templates are available from the IPA website for the provision of owner's consent as an attachment to this form. However other documentation may be used
for providing owner's consent provided it is clear the documentation relates to the development application for the premises.

« Owner's consent, if required, must be provided even if the applicant is the owner, Owner's consent is not required for a mobile and temporary ERA.

Portable Long Service Leave (PLSL) Levy

« The Building and Construction Industry Portable Long Service Leave Scheme provides long service leave entitlements to workers in the building and
construction industry who would be unlikely to accrue enough service with one employer to qualify for long service leave. To fund the scheme, a Portable
Long Service Leave Levy (PLSL levy) is collected on certain building and construction work carried out in Queensland.

* The PLSL levy amount and other prescribed percentages and rates for calculating the tevy are stated in the Building and Construction Industry (Portable
Long Service Leave) Regulation 2002. Included in the amount collected by QLeave is the Workplace Health and Safety Fee and the Building and
Construction industry Training Levy.

« The Building and Construction Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Act 1991 (PLSL Act) defines the building and construction work subject to the
PLSL levy and includes renovating, relocating, constructing, altering, demolishing, maintaining or repairing buildings, pools, roads, jetties, pipelines,
fences or earthworks, and works for subdividing, irrigating or draining land.

« The PLSL levy need not be paid when the application is made, but the PLSL Act requires the levy to be paid before a development permit may be issued.

+ The Assessment Manager must sight an approved form issued by QLeave advising of the status of the payment of the PLSL levy. Building and
Construction Industry Notification and Payment Forms are available from any Queensland post office or agency, on request from QLeave, or can be
completed on the QLeave website at www.gleave.qid.gov.au. For further information contact QLeave (Tel: 1800 803 481 Web: www.gleave.qld.gov.au )
