Attachment 3—Reasons for referral agency response
(Given under section 56(7) of the Planning Act 2016)

The reasons for the SARA’s decision are:
  The proposed development is for a material change of use for landing and operational work for
     prescribed tidal works to construct a new catwalk and pontoon system at 32 Noosa Parade,
     Noosa Heads, which is formally described as Lot 15 on N21842.
  The pontoon and catwalk is for private use and for one vessel with a maximum wet vessel beam of
     2.8 metres.
  The pontoon will be located in a canal.
  The proposed structure, including any vessel berthed, moored or attached to the structure:
            o will not encroach into, pass over or under a navigation corridor, and
            o is not located in a high-risk maritime development zone.
  SARA assessed the development against FT5 qualifying criteria checklist 4 and State code 8:
     Coastal development for tidal works, of the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP
     v3.2).
  The proposed structure meets the FT5 qualifying criteria checklist 4 and complies with the SDAP,
     subject to conditions to ensure:
        o the development is carried out generally in accordance with the plans of development
            submitted with the application
        o that at all times, all lights on or above the development site do not interfere with safe
            navigation in surrounding waterways
        o the development does not encroach on the navigation corridor or high-risk maritime zone to
            ensure the safe passage of vessels
        o that debris from the development does not create a hazard to navigation
        o that there is no residual material that could create a hazard to navigation.
  The development complies with the assessment benchmarks of State code 8 of SDAP (version 3.2)
     in that the development:
        o does not adversely impact life, buildings and infrastructure from the impacts of coastal
            erosion
        o maintains and concerns both coastal processes and resources
        o maintains appropriate public use of, and access to and along, State coastal land
        o avoids impacts or, where the matters of state environmental significance cannot be
            reasonably avoided, impacts are reasonably minimised and mitigated
        o does not result in a significant residual impact on a matter of state environmental significance.

Material used in the assessment of the application:

      the development application material and submitted plans
      Planning Act 2016
      Planning Regulation 2017
      the SDAP (version 3.2), as published by SARA
      the Development Assessment Rules
      SARA DA Mapping system
      section 58 of the Human Rights Act 2019
