revetment wall which is designed to provide protection from coastal processes. The regatta stairs as

protective rock wall require maintenance or repair for the protection of life and property the regatta stairs
may be required to be removed. This requirement is in accordance with section 2.2 of the State Coastal
Management Plan — Queensland's Coastal Policy 2001 principles 2A — 2E that ‘The coast is managed to
allow for natural fluctuations to occur, including any that occur as a result of climate change and sea level
rise, and provide protection for fife and property’.

2. The regatia stair total dimensions must remain unchanged and meet the previously approved dimensions
provided in WD.202 C4 “Jetty Layout 2 of 2” and WD.710 C1 “Water Allocation Plan”

3. The structural integrity, operation and maintenance of the existing tidal waterway rock revetment wall
must not to be affected by the works or the development.

4. You must remove any material that is deposited outside of the alignment of the works shown on the
approved plans or any debris that falls or is deposited on tidal lands or into tidal waters during the
construction of the works.

3. No CCA treated timber Is to be used on these works until all external surfaces are dry from the CCA
treatment process. All treated timber is to be sawn or drilled over a catchment sheet and all offcuts are to
be disposed of to an approved landfill site.

4. You must ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to prevent the pollution of tidal waters as a result
of silt runoff, oil and grease spills from machinery, concrete truck washout and alike. Concrete agitator wash
out must only be conducted in a specified area to facilitate the removal of waste concrete from the area to
landfill. Wastewater from cleaning equipment shall not discharge directly or in-directly to any watercourse or
stormwater system.
