Information Request

EPA Project Reference Number: 313048

Date of Request: ‘09-AUG-2007

Permit Type: Concurrence Response for Operational Work
Activity: Prescribed Tidal Work for the refurbishrent of a boathouse and jetty
Act: Integrated Planning Act 1997 and the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995
Location: 172 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville (Lot 164 Plan CP907410)
Jetty Number 17,NOOSAVILLE QLD-4566

Coastal Management Concérns.

In this area, the landward boundary of the coastal management district adjacent to the Noosa River lies either at
the plan position of Highest Astronomical Tide or 40 metres inland from the plan position of Méan High Water
Spring Tide, whichever produces the larger coastal management district.

With regard to the existing development you are advised that:- /
1. This Agency's records indicate that approvals were given pursuant to the provisions of section 86 of
the Harbours Act 1955 on:-

(a) 10 September 1970 for the construction of a jetty. CD
(b) 22 June 1978 for the construction of a timber building.
These approvals are now deemed as development approvals under the Integrated Planning Act 1997.

2. It would appear that the existing boat ramp, hinged aluminium ramp and PVC modules may not be
lawful works.

3. There may be potential public safety issues relating to public access to potentially unlawful works.

Biodiversity/Environmental Planning Concerns

The photographs and drawings of the proposed jetty reconstruction provided in the application documentation
show that the jetty size will increase considerably. The Noosa River is listed in the Directory of Important
Wetlands and the EPA does not support an increase in the intensity of use of the area that may result in impacts
on the waterway, in particular, dredging to accommodate larger vessels.

EPA could only support the application providing that the proposed tidal works are restricted to the improvement
of facilities to cater for the existing level of use, in terms of vessel size and number.

for which approval is sought

— show the full dimensions in plan view of:
o the proposed works for which approval is sought

o existing works on the waterfrontage of the property which would abut the proposed
works, which are not included in the works for which a permit is sought

o existing works on adjacent properties where these works are within 20m of the works
for which approval is sought

= indicate the constructional details of the proposed works

- show the finished levels of the works (including pile head levels)

State coastal management plan. The EPA is responsible for administration of the Coastal Protection and
Management Act 1995 (Coastal Act), which includes the preparation of State and regional coastal!

Plan commenced on 27 February 2002 and sets out the principles and policies to be applied to coastal
development.

2. Demonstrate that the proposal complies with the State Coastal Plan. In particular your attention is
drawn to policies:-
a. 2.1.5. — Maritime infrastructure .
b. 2.1.10 - Tourism and recreational activities

‘C. 2.2.2 — Erosion prone areas

information requested:

3. Please provide the nature of the vessels proposed to be moored at the facility and how they differ (in
